  • Hello Everyone! Have been 3 weeks transitioning into keto because we made a major grocery run 2 days before I decided to change my way of eating. I was skeptic at first, but I feel so much better. No aches or pains, most of the time. I have an autoimmune disorder causing back pain, but it is reduced. I do have alot to…

  • I use Atkins bars and shakes. They keep me full with plenty of protein and low net carbs of 3-4.
    in Can you recommend a good low carb protein bar - Comment by rnstarr February 2016
  • I've recently started low carb. My job takes me various places daily, so trying to carry items needing refrigeration is difficult. I found Atkins shakes (15g protein, 2 g net carbs & Atkins peanut butter bars 17 g protein, 3 g net carbs) to help alot. I've lost about 10 lbs since the first week of Jan. When I am in my…

  • Thank you for the explanation. I had gone and read some, but it was very confusing. Your explanation makes perfect sense. My level is sedentary, unfortunately, due to a desk job and being a student.

  • Don't get too hung up on it. When at parties, eat what you can. If it is a carry in party, take what you can eat, there will be plenty of other stuff for others. If you can't log it all because you don't know ingredients, do the best you can. For example, meatballs. I search meatballs and chose one with the medium number…

  • If you can figure out your present calories, reduce it by 250 for about 2 weeks, then reduce it by 250 again. It takes 3500 calories to make a pound. So if you can reduce daily calories by 500, that is a pound a week without exercise. Increasing fiber and water will keep things moving along in the gut. Fiber and protein…

  • I've looked at this app before, but this is my first time using MFP. It's easy to navigate and understand. Haven't upgraded yet, still considering. I like that you can scan food instead of typing it in and guessing which one it is. Recording water is a great tool, and being able to sync with Fitbit is wonderful! I wish…
    in New Comer to myfitnesspal Comment by rnstarr January 2016
  • Hi, welcome! I'm new also, but I would be happy to share with you. I'm a 52 yo female. Sedentary lifestyle due to being a teacher. I started lifting weights back in July hoping to see some toning and weight loss. My weight just stayed the same, bouncing around a 5 point area. Three weeks ago I decided I was going to do…

  • Increase your calorie intake for a couple of days, then go back to 1300. Just like a car uses a little extra gas to get over a hill, the body needs a little more energy to make it over the plateau. Good Luck!
    in I'm on a plateu...need advice Comment by rnstarr December 2011
  • No doctor in his right mind would tell a person to eat 900 calories a day. That is not healthy! With eating 1700, eat more fruits and vegetables. You will get more food, it will fill you up and you will not be eating more fat laidened foods.Even Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers will tellyou to eat more than that! I get a…
