@missysippy930 It isn't impossible to give up all of those sugars. Far from it, actually. I can count on one hand the amount of pieces of fruit I've eaten in the past 2 years (fruits caused me IBS issues) and many low carb/keto dieters spend their lives living without sugar. You don't need sugar to survive, natural or…

Hi Kathy, I'm so sorry to hear this, I cannot imagine how hard it must be to deal with :'( When I first started the low carb lifestyle, I did a lot of research because it was going to be a huge change in my normal dietary ways. When you start looking into the low carb/ketogenic diet, you will be shocked to see how much you…

I'm always happy to have new friends on here, it's a wonderful place for help and support from all over the world! Anyone is welcome to add me for extra support and encouragement :)

@northend2014 If you go on settings at the top of the screen (or in the menu if you're using your phone) there is a selection called 'Contact Us' and you can go from there. I have reported a problem to them a few different times going through that route. Hope you fix your issue! Best of luck! :)

@Emmapatterson1729 Wow, your keto meals look delicious! My biggest struggle with my keto meals is the portion sizes and also having the time throughout the week to cook a decent meal. Most of the time, 4 days a week I live off cold food, as work does not allow the facilities for me to have hot and I don't have a proper…

@Hotelsma I know what you mean with the desserts, I found an amazing recipe to make a keto-friendly chocolate brownie cheesecake a while ago. Well, obviously we are not talking one slice of cheesecake, this is a whole damn thing of like 12 slices worth. When you're wanting to make dessert for one (other half does NOT…

@Hotelsma Absolutely, it's the whole cake or nothing for me! Going on my constant weight issue, obviously I don't often opt for the 'nothing' option! ;) But what you're saying about the sweeteners being based on physiology, I don't necessarily agree. I'd say it's more based on the willpower of the individual to know that…

@Hotelsma The whole artificial sweetener thing is to do with how your body reacts to the sweetener. A lot of your cheap and cheerful sweeteners make your body spike like it would if you had sugar, but depending on how you're doing it, one can of Diet Coke is not going to kick you out of ketosis. 5 across a day might…

As someone who regularly dabbles with the keto lifestyle, I found olives and avocados are a great way to increase natural fats. While cooking everything in butter or adding cheese to everything is delicious, I've researched a lot and found it's good to limit the amount of animal fats (dairy, for example) you have.…

Hi Stephanie, welcome back! I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, although I do have friends that are both. But if you want some extra supporters, feel free to add me. We can help each other achieve our goals. Best of luck to you and also to your husband. Hopefully he is able to turn his diabetes around :)

Completing at least 30 minutes of proper exercise for the past 17 days in a row. Apple Watch is very happy with me right now! 4am alarm is not so delighted...

Wow, massive congrats on the impressive weight loss! I am loving the support on here, I have sent you a request :) Keep up the good work!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought losing weight quickly just wasn't good from an appearance point of view... The quicker you lose it, the less time your body has to adapt and tighten back into shape which leaves you with saggy skin. That and the fact that the faster you lose it, the quicker you put it back on. These…

You guys have some awesome breakfasts! I had a small pack of pork scratchings just now for, my I guess, brunch...? :D

Motherf****r!!! :D Car make - P

This is a fantastic challenge, I hope you get a lot of takers! I won't be able to do this unfortunately as I have my own (much more achievable!) workday challenge, but Friday through Sunday my plan is to be getting on that stair climber at the gym to improve my cardio fitness. It really is one of the best ways to improve…

I was going to do a similar thing to you, but wasn't sure if I was just being stupid and that Beyonce track was genuinely linked with the song title! :D Heartbreaker - Mariah Carey

Hey, I'm not familiar with the song, but I've looked quite a few times and have been trying to figure out how 'Xo' has any of the title words of 'Welcome to my Nightmare'... Does Xo translate to one of those words in todays lingo? Genuine question, not trying to be bitchy!

Dedicated to the gym!

I eat so many of these on a daily basis! My swap for crisps. I'm sure there will be a point within the keto lifestyle that this stops being good for you!

I'm in the same boat. Been here before but my support network has gone down the swanny. Adding you now. Best of luck on your journey!
