Thank you. My wife is a stay at home mom. When I said she also works hard I mean she is busy working hard all day at home. I am going to start getting up early for some gym time. I know I need it so bad. it is just so hard to get myself motivated to get up so early after being so tired. I don't struggle with the boredom…

Also I haven't been fat my whole life I was a marine and a runner weighing low 190's. Weight started coming on hard core in 2002/2003 put on 100 lbs by 2011 It has been some of the most stressful years of my life. Some of the best also sooo either I am handling stress differently or I just wasn't stressed before IDK. went…

Good idea, except the kale part gag! :)

Thanks, the problem is i am tired of "falling down"

Dont know what QFT means. I was a brown belt in karate and that was very good for stress relief but I don't have time for that anymore. My wife is starting cardio kick boxing at the Y next week.

When you said - well treats!! It gave me a chuckle so thanks. maybe I should figure out how to fit a treat into my calories and have 1 slice of pizza instead of 3. But I know its not healthy to look for food for comfort. My wife is my best friend and we are very honest with each other. I don't know why I feel so ashamed…

Must be something in the air. I just posted something very similar. If you figure out how to knock this let me know.

I don't post often but I have to raise the BS flag. I doubt they called her out on her toned body. They probably told her she wasn't complying the the dress code and if a gym has a dress code (which she admitted she was breaking) abide by it or find some place else. She got offended and thought she would get a little fame…

I posted this earlier ^^^ and just found out me and my coworkers favorite Pizza Place just reopened after burning to the ground 9 months ago. I currently have the shakes from 3 slices of pizza. Not to mention I went over my calories ugh.

Cutting down on the carbs took away my shakes. Since June of last year I kept my carbs under 34 a day. Now I am just cutting out carbs like breads, pastas and sugar staying under 100 a day. 90% of my carbs come from fruit and veggies. Most of my diet is high protein. You can test if this is the problem for you. Have a…

Mixed nuts! Eating some now.

Really depends on the person. for me it is a no go and I drink it black. I lost 8lbs started drinking coffee plateaued for 2 weeks. I read about sensitivity to caffeine so I stopped drinking it and I am loosing again. But that is only for people that have a sensitivity to caffeine. I happen to be one of them.

I guess you could call what I do carb cycling. I eat carbs one night a week. The rest of the time I keep my carbs under 30 grams. I absolutely love the way I feel on non carb days. I have so much more energy. My wife enjoys it to because I had so much energy this weekend I did all the laundry and stayed on top of all the…

Well in that case more power to you. the OP should have explained that we can't all be up on every diet out there. I do believe my original post was supportive in nature ie agreeing with low carb living.

LOL no judgement. I think when I get to my goal weight I will maintain by doing something similar. Certainly not going out eating what ever carbs I want in a day. I like the way I feel on low carb.

My own experience. I am doing a diet that allows carbs one night a week. first its no carbs (less than 30 grams) for 10 days. Well today is day 10 for me been feeling great loving life more energy and weight is dropping fast no stomach problems. Had my first carb loaded meal half an hour ago feel sluggish like I have the…

This very common because the way owners treat small dogs (picking up, coddling, sitting on lap, carrying) sends the message to the other dogs that the little dog is the alpha. Another common mistake is when they do something wrong dont yell their name just yell the command for example the owners yell Spike stop barking…

That chicken recipe sounds awesome I would love to get some more recipes my favorite even before low carb eating. Chicken breast with taco seasoning, topped with one tbls of salsa a hefty amount of Colby and cheddar cheese sprinkled over top bake in the oven. 4-5 carbs

I am on day 10 and actually love it. Low carb is giving me more energy less stomach issues and I just fee l better all around and the wieght is melting off. I have craving hard on day 6 and 7 but not to bad now. I am actually doing carb a nite solution so I am having carbs tonight and then allowing myself carbs one night a…

I got all the key points from someone that has been successful at it. i read the first three chapters online and the first three chapters where all about why other diets don't work. So I think I am good. I just have a few questions I am going to run by my friends when I get a chance.

Just started carb nite solution Sunday so I am on day 4 and loving it. I feel so much better. I didnt read the book though does the book specify counting net carbs or actual carbs?

I am on day 4 now and feeling great. Weighed in and lost 5 lbs since Sunday. I have been yoyoing for the past 6 months on straight calorie deficit. Low carb makes me feel great I feel stronger i have more energy. Best of all no more stomach problems and I hate to be gross but no more gas! My wife is happy about that one :)…

Has anyone looked at her pics maybe she isn't loosing because she is at a healthy weight and her body is resisting.

I wish I knew about the return policy.

I did Isagenix and lost 35lbs on the 30 day cleans. 285lbs to 250lbs. I gained all and more back in 2 weeks topping out at 290. Seemed like I could do nothing to stop the scale from going up no matter how healthy I ate. Its one of those things if you do it you have to stay on it. My step-sister did it lost a bunch and has…

I just started a low carb diet (only on day 3 now) which means no startchy things and I am stuffed at the end of the day only eating 1400- 1600 calories. I was hungry all the time when I was eating breads, pastas, and potatoes, having to struggle trying to stay below 2200 calories. read about glycemic index and blood sugar…

So glad there are others out there. Cilantro does taste like Soap! Everyone around me thinks I am nuts! I have gotten used to just saying no cilantro please no matter where I am at. You don't know where it is going to pop up.

Its funny I never had a sweet tooth until I couldn't have it and then I started craving things that I never craved before. I think I sticking to the standard 30 grams as well. I will mess with calculating net carbs after I have been doing this for a few weeks. Any good low carb recipe ideas you have come up with? How are…

I am on day 2 it isn't so bad. I am actually getting really full I thought I was going to be starving. To be honest I didn't get the book because I have three kids ages 3 years to new born so I never have time to read. I have been counting total carbs to be safe. Does the book suggest Net Carbs or Total Carbs? Congrats on…

Anyone ???
