I have really really tried the keto way of eating , my blood sugars went up I was stressing because I couldn't seem to eat all those fats .....3 days ago I said sod it , and went back to the atkins low carb diet and in 3 days my blood sugars went from 166 or 131 to 107 and 102 (morning blood sugars) I just can't seem to do…

big chocolate cake , I dream I am eating it , with my hands just eating the whole cake like a 1 year old LOL when I wake up I want that cake , i hate those dreams , I try to eat very soon after a dream like that (no carbs ) so I can rid my mind of it . MY husband thinks I am nuts so I understand worrying about telling…

my version of fathead pizza , same recipe I just used flax seed flour instead of phylum husk (if i spelled that right lol) this is really good , taste like a real pizza . with a small garden salad (no tomato) 10 carbs whole meal !! first attempt did not roll it out round , but it was still good lopsided !!

Thanks for all the hugs I need them ! :)

my fathead pizza , whole pizza 8 carbs , small salad no tomatoes, whole meal 10 carbs .

Today I have eating maybe 2 times , like real dinner food , and now it's after 10 pm and I am hungry , so normally I would eat the pork rinds , no carbs at all , but yeah calories , before with the reg low carb it was ok , but now with the added fat , my sugars are high , so I am going to try and NOT eat a snack and wait…

@bjcrewe I am in the same boat , I weigh 448 and that is from 477 when I started on MFP , 78 days ago , I need to lose at lease 200 pounds , i am feeling better about standing , just a short time ago (christmas 2017) I couldn't cook the big diner I usually do because I couldn't stand to cook it , kids and hubby cleaned up…

kwiris0328 my pics I know no one else can see it , but i can , I stand up taller and not all bent over , so even though only 25+ pounds (i have not weighed in since docs) I feel i can see it , Hubby says he can see it too . But when I looked at your face pics I thought well yep I see it , cause your smile is bigger , you…

ok 25 + pounds down and inches down ....

i must have bacon & cheese LOL can do without sausage and lunchmeats ,

no matter what I do. It actually tends to go down after I eat my first meal, which is usually just animal products (no carbs). yes i do this as well and yep i bet i don't have an actual carb until late lunch ( don't eat till 3 or 4 pm) but i do eat in the mornings no carbs.

Thank you I feel way better about things now !! really !!

I got a new smoker so bring it on LOL

@nvmomketo HEY That worked Thank You so much now , my food counter is set to 70% fat and so on , so awesome , really thanks!!!

no way to do net carbs other then , fiber minus carb and then write it in the box for other things at the bottom of the food page ....like 8 carbs and 6 fiber so net carbs are 2 I have my fiber and my carbs right next to each other as well , so people can see how I subtracted .

@PQ4321 , I take 1000 mg of metformin 2x day and 22 units of lantus , when I started I was taking the same amount of metformin , but I took 30 units of lantus , when I do the keto strips I am showing trace ketosis , which is amazing , I think with the diabetic meds , Thank You for your break down of your day , I will try…

ok question ... I have been doing low carb, I have been adding good fats like coconut oil and real butter , olive oil and I have only been eating like below 20 carbs a day , sometimes less . I found a quick reference to a keto site , where it says 70% of daily calorie , so since I have so much to lose (over200) I get 2500…

yes Mam , my husband is a type 1 diabetic and has been since he was 19 and he is now 58 , he has to adjust his dosage all the time , when he works 12 hour days he takes less, if he is home and being lazy he takes more , he also has very low blood sugar readings and also has high ones , but for 80% of the time he is good ,…

flax seed flour crackers ..preheat over 400 degree 2 cups of flax seed flour 1 tsp of garlic powder 1tsp of dill weed 1tsp of celery seed 1 cup of water mix into a dough , flatten out on parchment paper , into a square or kind of one , make sure you cut it before you bake it , then 25 to 30 mins at 400 degrees

Mascarpone instead of the cream cheese , makes these way more smooth , also it has dropped to almost no carbs <1 same recipe just add the mascarpone instead of cream cheese.

the fat bombs i make , creamy sweet and chocolate , but peanut butter in it , so if you can not eat nuts , then it's a no go . :neutral: sugar free jello

The last 4 days my blood sugar (fasting) has been 110 to 103 so it is coming down even farther , plus I took 30 units of lantus every night , I am down to 22 units . and when I see doc in April I will be very excited to see my numbers . Maybe she will drop me down even more , don't know . Really Thank You for all the in…

@meldwel you will love the airfryer , I have one , my son lives for ours , when I am eating veggies and meat and he wants fried chicken nuggets and fries , he can have his and i can have mine. also to reheat protein , I hate to reheat in the microwave ,(taste awful) but reheating burgers or chicken or pork in the airfryer…

i am easy , sugarfree jello LOL

i do 20 carbs or less a day , been 36 days now and it gets easier , and fun trying to find things to eat , and i am cooking way more , I am losing , but i have a lot to lose . and remember sugar free jello , it is saving me LOL

ok so my doctor told me she is happy if my fasting blood sugar is under 140 , so my 115 to 136 has been amazing , my A1c was 9.2 and my daily sugars were 200 to 300 , so this low carb , high fat and protein has been amazing , I have a lot to lose too. So i won't be trying to hit 100 or less , unless she says later I should…

I sit and do stuff in my chair , like the rubber bands , they are the ones you get at the sporting goods stores , I work on my legs and my arms , I am also walking farther when I go places , But my legs hurt so badly , it's hard to walk for to long , but it will get better, they already are feeling better. stronger. I…

I just found sugar free jello again with the extra whipped topping from a can only 1 carb for 2 teaspoons , (i am doing low carb) what a treat . 15 calories and 1 carb , I can have that a few times a day LOL I also make my own fat bombs , extra fat very low carbs , chocolate and peanut butter and cream cheese , so yeah Yum…

I totally Understand , with the back pain it makes it hard to exercise and with the depression you want comfort foods , both of those things are my reasons for not losing weight for years , not back pain but leg pain and I have arthritis in my neck c5 and c6 are really bad , but i need to lose over 100 pounds before they…

i have to lose 200+ as well MVP gives me 2500 calories a day , don't know why I got higher count , but I am doing low carb so it really doesn't matter about calories , but i have stayed under that 2500 easily , I eat maybe 20 carbs a day , no bread or rice or potatoes at all , no sweets . it' s the only way I can do it ,…
