LOL... To keep with above commenter's theme...I've had 11 fiances and the last one was 21 years younger.

Top pics are a about two months ago. Bottom pics are today. Still have some work to do, but much smaller. Using a couple of cans of old soup or beans out of my kitchen pantry.

I do this too. I eat foods with a mentality: food=energy and fuel! If doesn't contribute to making me feel good, I usually don't eat it. Been eating with this mindset for over 10 years now.

Agree, when I break my keto low carb intake... It's usually on sushi rolls, bread, or Starbucks.

This 3 month transformation started at 1410 calorie intake being sedentary, no workouts! After one month in had dropped like 12 inches off the biggest part of stomach. I wanted to slow loss down so upped my calories to 1600-1700. The more I loss, my energy rose, and I became more active. I now workout and consume over 1800…

And there's the amount that causes long term organ damage. At 5'8" going down to 1200 or less can do a lot of damage. (Not a fast or Just a day here or there, but eating that low over a time can cause muscle mass loss and organ failure, especially if active). The heart is a muscle and experiences muscle mass loss like any…

My new inspiration outfit!! ;)

I'm back to almost no fruit. I tried to incorporate it back into diet... Actually made me feel blah. So, back to just meats and some veggies. Can definitely tell a difference in my energy levels and the way my body looks and moves with almost zero fruit!

And I'm not telling others not to use products with no dextrose. Because it's literally in everything, I do end up consuming some no matter how hard I try to avoid it... It's even in my Stevia mix. But because I'm old...I remember before it was in everything. I remember when they started replacing cane sugar with corn…

This is so true for me!! Appetite returned with a vengeance! Now, I'm having to reign in my calories a little and workout to burn calories. Still not in the mood to snack or hungry upon waking... But not getting full off three bites of chicken or steak like I was in the beginning.

That is awesome! I know that feeling (not the mooning), but the getting a glimpse of yourself, and actually being happy (or pretty content) with what you see!! Way to go!!

Forgot about Starbucks!!!... Love Starbucks' food options, even some of their sandwiches are delicious!!!

It's not the amount I have issue with, it's that it's not a needed additive. In the 90s they started putting gmo corn syrup in every single product on American shelves. And most don't realize how much of it they consume on a daily basis, just because it's in everything. The food in US got corrupted, then almost everyone is…

When they talk about not worrying about calories, it means don't worry about going too high. Whether in ketosis or not, muscle mass loss can occur when eating too low of calories or electrolytes (especially eating keto) can get too low. Either of these can cause heart failure. I don't think @1600 this would be a worry.…

I honestly don't really know what I weigh. I don't really own a scale (history of anorexia and getting obsessed). I'm just guessing weight based on weight history combined with size. I started around a size 20 (was squeezing into size 18 yoga pants that were literally ripping at the seams :( Terrified to go to store and…

When I travel, I pre-plan out where I'm going to eat across the country. I love Panera's salads, Chipotle's burritos, Whole Food's hot bar, some cities have In&Out or Pita Jungles. So I research locations of foods I love in each location I visit or drive through. Have fun on your trip!
