How is everyone doing? Emt- man i had the low carb flu so badly the first week or 2. It does pass but it is tough at the time. nmg8- hope your cold goes away fast! I am focusing on water today. My spin teacher recommends a gallon a day. My weight loss seems to be going so slowly now but I still feel like I am making…

Love your name :-) Ennuffamybut ! Feel free to look at my diary. Today I ate light, just wasn;t all that hungry bc I ate a lot yesterday which was my highest carb day since starting. I did induction when I started. I did eat nuts during it but I measured them out carefully and didn't over do. Induction was hard at times…

Nice!! on the DS! I did some serious working out at the gym. Oddly not hungry today too! Wahhhh got the Sunday Blues though!!! NEED one MORE day!

Hi there, Low carber here also. LOVE it. Feel like a totally new person. Feel free to add me or join some of our threads. Don't listen to the nay-sayers

So, I get up as I do every morning and weigh. The scale hasn't budged in fact it is hovering a pound higher for days since my last weigh in. (I have noticed this happens... I hold hold hold then DROP a few then it goes back up a teeny bit and same pattern) So I started looking at my reports... last 30 days... 10/2 ...…

I think if it is working for you and you are able to refocus and get back to you goals it is fine. You have to do what is best for yourself to stick with it. Slow weight loss is really better anyway. For me an all out cheat day would not work but I do like to plan mini splurges here and there. (Like last night ribs with…

My favorite low carb snacks are: macadamia nuts - YUM almonds cottage cheese- a trainer at the gym i go to says this is the BEST night time snack bc it has casein in it and will keep your metabolism up all night burning. (Not sure how how true but I like it lol) whole milk ricotta My favorite little low carb treat is…

Morning, WI - 166 ... would love to be in 150s by Thanksgiving. Measurements to come tonight.

OH! that is so cool!! I am dying to know if you like it! Which one did you get?

No going to look and see what those are! How should we do this? LOL I wish we could do groups here. Guess we will just check in on this thread here and there?

I was worried about working out too but so far have been strong. I do a lot of protein. Trainer at my gym said if I start feeling depleted to have a "carb up" day but to eat them for breakfast or lunch- not dinner. When I feel like I am really depleted I add 1/4 to half of cup of sweet potatoes to breakfast. Or I have…

I am having a hard time taking the ones I have. Super Nutrition Simply One Women , that the place recommended. They make me so nauseous. Does that get better? The only ones I seem to be ok with is when I take my kids Gummy Vites LOL. But they have a few carbs and sugars. Anyone else feel gross after taking them?

Natasha- I have been doing low carb for about 5 weeks. Totally gluten free. I have lost 11 pounds and something crazy like almost 4 inches off my waist! Need to take new measurements. The first week was HELL. Definitely. But not the whole time, some of it i felt GREAT. But there were times I felt sick like with the flu.…

Ha! Sounds good :-) Thinking maybe we should keep the group small. Going to measure and weigh in tomorrow. And record it all. Just filled up my gallon jug of water. DRINKING!!!

wow, amazing, because I looked on their site and they make it look so good LOL (of course!) that makes sense. And although it is not SEVERE it is enough that I noticed it both times, tummy aches and bloating- up in weight today too even though I didn't "cheat". No biggie, it is just water gain but now I know to stay away…

Loving low carbs! Feel free to check out my diary for ideas. I also and doing primal blueprint as the above poster mentioned. Feel great. Losing weight.

2nd time eating at Chipolte and getting a minor minor reaction... tummy ache and bloating.. on a scale of 1-10 only a 3-4. (before going paleo I was in a constant state of 8 !!) All I got both times was a kids taco meal with no taco shell- LOL chipolte chicken shredded cheese lettuce and the pico salsa. When I went to…

Thanks!

From what a member here told me, the strips are not that accurate as far as trace, moderate etc. basically if you come up any positive you are in Keto but it can't accurately measure.

What is the best paleo sweetener if I wanted to use just a touch? Honey? agave? Do any of you ever use stevia? I have been avoiding all so far 99% of the time but I feel like I want to have a little "splurge" on the holidays without going totally crazy.

Anyone use the Ketostyx to monitor ketosis? I do here and there and I always show in the mid range area, no matter what time of day. I have heard to take the number with a grain of salt but if you have any it will show. My question is... yesterday I ate 74 carbs.. around 47 net carbs. This morning I tested first thing and…

Oh! I hadn't thought of that!!! I could at least get them tailored half way through if they start to get way too big! Good idea.

Thanks Leanne.. YESSSSSS! It feels really great! I am not sure about the motivated vs. unmotivated part!! I am really motivated so I don't think it matters. I more wondering how long before they look too big. I actually DID buy a pair of $15 Limited jeans at marshalls bc all my others were way too big!! Size 10! I put all…

I actually do not. I take days off from my routine and exercising. But I have changed my diet for good. I have also been afraid that I might derail myself and not be able to get back on. I also feel so much better that I actually do not want to feel tired and yucky which is how I know I would feel if I were to "cheat".

I eat low carb/ paleo. I do track everything bc I am new to this lifestyle and really want to lose weight. I "watch" calories but if I am truly hungry I eat. I do pay attention to serving sizes and try to aim for around 1500 cals. But if I am not hungry one day and barely make 1100 I do not worry. Same with if I get up to…

I would love a Facebook group but I would really prefer a private group where all of my other "friends" can't see what I post. In order to have a private group we must be friends on FB. NOT ALL PEOPLE have to be friends with each other. Each person can add a friend to a group once you are in the group. If anyone is…

I would be interested in another way to stay in touch if that happens. I find these threads hard to follow anyway. Private group on facebook or meetup .. anything. Keep me in mind if you all go anywhere! QUESTION: After being totally clean and grain free for over a month I have started to notice that I have an INCREDIBLE…

Reposted from a member to me once: Very common... been referred to as the whoosh fairy. You could go days, even weeks with no loss then WHOOSH... big loss practically overnight. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/of-whooshes-and-squishy-fat.html CONGRATS TO YOU!
