Ok. Sorry to bother. Why don't you skip over posts that don't interest or annoy you? :)

Hm. It takes me a whole five minutes per day to use my digital food scale, log my food, weigh my body, and log my weight. I don't consider that consuming my life. I consider that the same amount of "hassle" as paying my bills or putting gas in the car, or balancing my checkbook or brushing my teeth. It's life-maintenance…

This is why I am afraid to try Keto (aside from the fact that I just don't think I have the willpower to limit my carbs to that extreme).. I was pre-diabetic last summer and reduced my carb intake to around 100 (net) carbs a day and was able to bring my blood sugars back into the normal range. However, my cholesterol was…

You're right. :)
-
Thank you all for the very insightful replies...I appreciate it!
-
For those of you talking about 100 g a day, is that total carbs or net carbs?
-
That's great...congrats! And maybe I should have been more clear...I am tired of *thinking about food, calorie counting, etc*...I feel like the thought of food has consumed my life. :(
-
haha, good point. ;)
-
Yes, it is. Thank you!
-
Good idea about lowering the amount of carbs slowly/gradually. I quit because I am a carboholic. :-O Maybe I cut them too fast the last time and felt deprived as a result..
-
Thank you!
-
That's great...congrats to you both! Is that 132 carbs a day total, or net?
-
Yes, to the best of my knowledge. :) I don't weigh food...I feel that I am obsessive enough with keeping track of every calorie I consume on an app. I really hate that this has consumed a good part of my life. I was 14 when I started counting calories (back then, it was on paper...lol)...and I am 48 now! Ughhhhhhhhh

Thank you all! I appreciate the responses! :)

Thank you! :)

Exactly this.
-
I refuse to get a scale/weigh my food. I use a tbsp measuring spoon and level it off with a knife.

Breakfast - Iced coffee and Belvita breakfast biscuits Lunch - Amy’s bean, cheese, rice burrito Snack - Pistachios and a banana Dinner - Protein shake made with cottage cheese, fruit, and spinach Dessert - Enlightened ice cream and a few Gingersnaps

Amazon has them too.

I miss the last time I didn’t think about food, calories, weight, clothing sizes. I think I was 12. 🙄
-
Gnocchi with butter and Parmesan cheese, and roasted Brussels sprouts on the side. 😊
-
Sweets, but ice cream is #1.
-
Yes! Is Starbucks considered fast food? lol I had a pumpkin spice latte last week that was 450 calories or so, but would have been over half of my daily points on Weight Watchers (which I was doing in addition to counting calories until recently). I know WW works for so many, but I find it to be very depriving and as I was…

Sitting outside in the sun. It's one of the few times I don't feel the need to snack! ;)

I had some blood work done last summer because I had dropped 7 lbs "just like that", without trying. My A1C came back as 5.9 (pre-diabetic range). My doctor basically told me to "watch the carbs" and retest in 6 months. I did both, and my A1C had gone down to 5.1 (normal). I used an app on my phone called "carb manager"…

WOW, that is fantastic! I walk but not 18,000 steps a day...that is inspiring!
-
I did Weight Watchers for a few weeks (I couldn't continue...way too restrictive IMO), and averaged my daily calories at the same time. I was right around 1,500 calories a day (making sure to eat three fruit servings/day or I would have been at 1,200 or so...too low for me). I was losing around 1 lb. a week on that....but…
