No eating candy til we get home and sort it and I check it bc my son has allergies. So that cuts down on the amount of time they have to eat it! We focus on running around trick or treating which is the part they love anyway more then the candy. Once sorted, I let them eat what they want on Halloween which is never really…

I eat very low carbs. The carbs I get come from vegetables. I feel amazing. Take a look at my food diary if you are curious. I eat: tons of greens, meat, fish, eggs, nuts, olive oil, coconut milk and oil. I also eat but try to limit cheese, greek yogurt and cottage cheese. Full fat everything - no low fat. My splurge is…

Ok, thanks to both of you for your input!!! At this point I am still learning where is my best. Some days in the mid morning I see floaters and feel pretty depleted. (I work out early, eat a big low carb breakfast then go to work) So I have been experimenting with adding a small carb amount then... like 10 carbs. not much.…

Do you think eating 20-30 carbs is too few? Should I be aiming higher? I am eating Paleo except basically no fruit. I eat clean organic veggies, meats, nuts, eggs and some cheese. I eat dairy but try to limit it.

Personally, cutting out carbs and sugar is what made my stomach shape totally change. When I "over fiber" I get really overly bloated. I eat clean foods, low carb and get my fiber from veggies. That's what has helped me. Good luck to you.

I am eating very low carbs and I am doing better then ever!!! SO don't listen to the people who say it is bad for you because it is simply not true. There are studies that show it is not. You will need to find out what works best for you. Some people CAN lose by just cutting cals. I was not one of those! However, my sister…

I agree with this 100% I eat just like this with the exception of fruit for now. (I am avoiding it). I am losing weight on this plan. They key is though, what the kaveman said... "Remember, reducing carbs does not help unless you reduce them a fair amount, and up your fat and protein content in return. Adding fat, without…

HOT! You look awesome! You were pretty in the first pic but the way you stand now is SO much different! You can SEE the confidence in your shoulders. You GO girl. You must be proud.

New here to this thread and reading through the posts... LOVE THIS!! ........remember.......you get out of it what you put in. SO SO true... AND SO TRUE about NOT missing the cake and oreos! Honestly, all I do at the office when everyone is eating cake is remind myself how good I feel right now. And how poorly I would feel…

the video is so cheesy but I LOVE IT! I totally feel like a new person eating this way. (Started about a month ago) Glad I found this group.

File this under the TMI category.... but I was wondering if anyone else here has had stomach issues. I actually came to low carb bc I was so uncomfortable and bloated and not losing any weight while following weight watchers plan. I had tons of gas before and never could pin point it. I assumed I was gluten intolerant and…

I eat low carb and therefore it is no/low sugar- It has made a huge difference for me Feel free to look through my food diary. Breakfasts- cottage cheese, eggs, nuts, whey shakes, Snacks- nuts, cheese on occasion, tuna, hard boiled eggs, ricotta cheese Lunch- salads with chicken, steak, feta, olives, veggies veggies…

LOL thanks for doing it for me! I wonder why I can not figure it out :laugh: :blushing:

I am eating a low carb diet and strictly no gluten. By eating all natural clean foods my sodium is naturally extremely low. Fruit is only a half a cup of berries when I really need a sweet about once a week. (for now) FAT is what saves me!! I am never hungry. Fat from olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, meat, eggs etc. WHY only…

I would be up for the FB group if the settings were private. I find it hard to follow and keep the recipes here.

one more question, my fiber is really low.... what do you do for getting more fiber? I eat tons of salad, what are the higher fiber veggies that are low carb? how are you getting more fiber!

Does anyone know why you are not supposed to eat ricotta or cottage cheese during induction of Atkins? I assume the nuts are bc you can so easily over do them.

Amazing.

I am doing awesome on low carb. I am averaging 20-50 carbs a day. Feel free to message me with questions. I read a few books and am choosing what works for me. Which is pretty much phase 2 of Atkins I think. I am still experimenting with the amount of carbs I need to feel good and lose weight. I am eating a lot healthier.…

I've been aiming for 1200 calories a day. What MFP has as my auto cals. If I exercise I usually eat a few of the ones I earn. I am eating around 20-30 net carbs. Does this sound right? A trainer a couple years ago said below 1500 wasn't a good idea. What are the thoughts of the Atkins support Gurus?

Last night I made single serving Ricotta pancake that was really good. 1/4 cup Ricotta cheese 1 egg cinnemon and a smidge of splenda mixed it up and fried it in coconut oil in a pan.

I love the Trader Joe's 70% Dark Chocolate 100 cal bars. They are individually packaged and soooo decadant. 7 carbs and 5 sugars but def worth it! I also made Jorge Cruise recipe which was 80% dark chocolate melted in the microwave then mix in macadamia nuts and sprinkle with a little salt. Then dropped on wax paper in…

Glad I found this! Recipes look great. Thanks

This was huge for me! While I can't hire a cleaning lady or hire help right now, I CAN MAKE CHOICES like coming home from work 45 mins later so I can go for a run or stop at the gym. I used to feel very guilty, but I learned I had to make some selfish choices in order to take care of myself.

Yep, it is so hard! I work 40+ hours a week, commute an hour and a half a day, 2 kids doing sports! House chores, bills Oh my! I stopped exercising for a year because I couldn't "find the time". (And gained back 15 pounds of the 30 I had lost.) Recently, I finally started just making the time by getting up earlier. It…

I go by my hunger and listen to my body. If I am hungry I eat them back. If I am not that day I don't. Generally, I find I do need to eat some of them when I am exercising a lot. Usually half. I use them on healthy foods and protein not on junk.

I watched that movie also a while ago and I have not bought regular meat at the supermarket since! Farmers markets are the best but for convenience and cost I go to whole foods a lot. (I do not have a large budget either although I spend a good amount on food but I don;t eat out much) Do you have a whole foods near you? I…

I would lower my carb intake. Up protein and fat.

What would you consider to be chronic cardio? I know the owner at my gym is a huge fan of short sprints and makes his classes only 30 mins. Would you consider 45-60 mins of spin class too much a few times a week? Or do you mean lots and lots of cardio? And wow, long slow walks? I didn't know that...

Congrats HeartLunger! QUESTION: Jorge Cruise says in his book that it is important to get up and exercise on an empty stomach if you want to burn fat. I have done it now a few times with no problems. I drink a Joy Robb protein shake right after my work out or eat breakfast. What are you thoughts on this?
