I know of no problem for keto/low carbers using Stevia. In fact I think it is advised. I use it (I eat Keto). It does not do the same bad things to your metabolism, brain's dealing with the sweet improperly or create a "diabesity" problem like artificial no cal sweeteners. It isn't perfect. It is still a plant that is…

I asked my doc about daily eggs. He told me to stop stressing and eat them. Everyday? Yep.

You have to become the moderator of the "I haven't lost any weight yet and it's been like... 24 hours!!!!!!!" thread.

That's not punishment ; )

Poppy Flower, are you going to require they show proof of their self improvement? How would you feel if the guy said, "Hey, you can see here that I am fat, but I am trying to do something about it so if you see me eating a salad, know that is part of my plan"? You may be chubby, but he has seen you and he wants YOU not…

To say to yourself? Yes. Why? Because you don't "need" to order a salad. That sounds like punishment. Order a salad if you want it, order steak if you want it, just budget your calories. Order a lean steak like a filet mignon or eat only half of the NY (and offer the other half for him if you want!). Eyeball the ounces and…

Awfully low on the protein and fat. You can eat avocado right? Nuts? Fat doesn't make you fat. You need it. Just factor it into your daily calorie allowance. Ditto for the protein/grains. How about some quinoa and more pulses. You must be ever so hungry. I find when I am not losing weight and it is not just a plateau, it…

It is intriguing to me that a lot of married people here don't treat their marriage as a unit. Like dump all money into one pot and plan together how it will leave the pot. Does the person who brings in more money have more say - proportionally? Whatever works I think. But for OP" best to nail that sort of thing down…

You should clarify it with him. Once you have done that, then you can make a proper decision (financially and with regard to your relationship). Call me old fashioned, but living together is just room mating with benefits. If that is what you want, then it is splendid.

I used to take prednisone. I managed to lose weight, but I was always hungry and miserable. I counted every last calorie and measured everything because I felt my hunger might tempt me to cheat. I know some are saying calories in calories out, but that medicine makes you not normal. Ask your doctor and read medical…

I drink coffee and then head out. Eating anything PW makes me nauseous. During I use electrolyte powder in water and eat nuts (I eat Keto). I make energy bars for my husband (who eats everything) or he eats dried fruits and nuts or a banana. When we get home and have had water and after showering I have a full lunch. We…

You might find this article helpful: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/14802091/ns/health-diet_and_nutrition/t/can-you-really-change-your-metabolism/ I just accept that it is slow and try to make up for it with exercise.

Have you considered no beard or mustache? You have a nice face and are shaping up. Why hide it? (not flirting, just being honest).

Joy: When I pray about something that is troubling me and later that day I hear a sermon or a Bible verse that gives me rest/answers it. Peace: With ever increasing evil in the world, I hold fast to the word. Maranatha.

I don't eat back my calories. I put in how active I was and feel that is worked into my nutrition needs. I think the burned calories seems over inflated anyway. BUT if I am hungrier on days I work my rear off, then I will not feel any remorse if I eat an extra piece of chicken or pile an extra serving of veggies. I try…

I agree with the two posters who thought you might be skimping on dinner and you might be exercising more. To combat hunger like that I usually shake it up with less carbs and more protein and fat. Like an egg, low fat turkey sausage, slice of tomato and half an avocado. Lots of healthy fat and protein and the fat helps to…

I choose a meal of something I am craving or a day if I am out and wanting to just enjoy what's going on without worrying about the calories (like if I am going out to dinner with friends for a special meal or going to an event where food is the center) and take that day off from counting. Eat the things I want without…

Since others have answered how to reply so well, I'll address the other part of the Q. OP said he ate 900 cal. unconsciously and felt self loathing after. Been there. Consider addressing the unconscious part. Once you take control and own what you do (like recognizing you have accepted cake into your hands now you will…
