I find my weight changes throughout the day. It can vary by up to 5lbs! If I get up to use the bathroom during the night, I check my weight on the digital scale, and miraculously the number drops throughout the duration of the night. Just depends how dehydrated I am. I live in USA/Southwest and keeping hydrated is a…

Other side of the coin, after 1 yr on keto, and losing 25lbs more than I wanted to, and struggling to maintain my weight now, the nightly low carb beers were adding needed liquid calories to my daily diet. I decided to give it up (impacted my mood/energy/sleep), and now my weight has dropped even lower. I just can't add…

There is just the two of us... Typically I prep multiple meats on Sundays (usually chicken, pork, steaks, ground meats, etc). I’ll also make one slow cooker meal for lunches during the week (e.g., stuffed peppers, lasagna, pot pie). I boil some eggs (to top salads) & make pancakes & sausages for quick breakfasts during the…

Not sure how you settled on 1200 cals, but assuming that is correct for you/your goals and lifestyle, then eat TO 1200 calories. Make sure you divide the calories over protein, fats and carbs (if eating carbs). Set your % of each in MFP Goals/Settings along with the calories. There are a lot of macros calculators in the…

I am on Keto, and eat half a prepared package of sugar free jello (Kroger brand) with 5grams sugar free redi whipp topping nightly. I enjoy CALM magnesium powder in hot water as my “tea.” I also eat a 5gram packet of seaweed (salt/unsweetened) if I am up late and need something to munch on. If it fits my macros for the…

Hi There! I'm soon to be 55yrs old/F, 5'3" (and shrinking ;) ). Starting weight 2018.08.27: 189lbs/ lost 36lbs on the Ketogenic diet/ goal weight 150lbs. I had radical duodenal switch bariatric surgery when I was 38yo and topping the scale at 305lbs. It worked, I reduced to 135lbs over two years, but the pounds started…

I am 54yo, and have lost 30lbs since 8/27/18 (185lbs-155lbs). I am on Keto (current macros-1053 calories NCarbs13g:Prot53g:Fat88g). I adjusted my macros with every 10lbs lost, using MFP to calculate %s given a calorie goal. I oftentimes go over the daily calories, mostly eating more fat grams, yet I continue to loose 1-2lb…

OP- I bloat when I eat milk products, and too many in a day distend my gut. I've cut down a lot on cheeses, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, etc. Parmesan Cheese has less lactose, so I use that in limited quantities. I do still use whipping cream in my coffee, but limit to 2T at a time. When I cut back on milk…

My advice: Keep your NET carbs below 20 (then your cravings for carbs will practically disappear); Don't overdue the protein, if you eat low-fat protein sources, add real butter or bacon fat to the cooking process; Select uncomplicated foods that your grandmother would recognize on a plate (unprocessed meats, eggs, fatty…
