This was a great response to the video. I saw it for about 15 mins and had to turn the documentary off. I was a vegan for 2 years am after watching Forks Over Knives and had success. Although it was super difficult and carb cravings were through the roof. After getting pregnant I quit and tried again with little success. I…

I started watching the documentary and had to turn it off but that YouTube was AWESOME!!!

I wonder if any of the foods you are eating have sugar hidden in them that you may be unaware of like bacon or sausage. I find if I accidentally eat some sugar my craving lbs go up. Also the more I go over 20 grams the more my carb cravings help. I can't have a taste of ice cream or a bite of donut because again those…

Thanks so much for posting these videos!! Sooooo good!!

Thanks so much! Never in a million years would I have thought this much success would only be 6 weeks away. It's not easy but it's totally doable. Thanks for the ❤️

Made these last night un-nachos. They are basically what I want on nachos without the chips or the beans. Delish!

Started exactly 6 weeks ago and have lost 30 lbs. love this lifestyle!!

This is my favorite recipe for homemade ranch dressing. Has 1 carb in it for two tbsp. It's sooooo good!! http://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/homemade-buttermilk-ranch-dressing.html

My food diary is viewable to friends! I'd love to meet new MFP LCHF friends

I don't really count my calories. I log my food so I can keep my carbs (not net) around 20 sometimes I go over and other times Under. One other thing I've learned is I don't need to "make" my fat goals or protein. In the beginning I was adding as mat fat as possible to every meal. Now I realize I have plenty of fat around…

I love fish curry. Tons of flavor and a refreshing change from all the red meat. https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/thai-fish-with-curry-paste-and-coconut-cream

Haha that's brilliant! Can't wait for that day to come!

My NSV is my wedding ring and engagement rings finally fit. Haven't been able to wear them for over a year. And my skin is so much brighter I wear way less makeup. Someone I recently met thought I was in my mid 20's and I'm 38. Woo hoo!!

I first got acquainted with LC when I got pregnant with my 2nd and had gestational. I pretty much threw out all that they suggested and went LC. I had great success until I got back to the SAD. Now I'm back with great results. Welcome and wishing you great success!! It's a great group and highly supportive!

The pic on the right was taken 3 days before I started Keto and the pic on the right was 36 days later and 26 lbs lighter. I have 37 lbs to go. But I feel SO much better.

Congrats!!! You can do it. For me the 3rd day was the hardest, then a week in. After you see results it's so addictive to not keep on Keto. You're going to do great!!!

First I would say eat when you are hungry and stop when you are satisfied. Sometimes that means skipping a meal or eating a tiny snack. That is a major helper. But ALWAYS eat when you are hungry. For my breakfasts I eat protein with fat and no veggies. Then for lunch I will eat a burger with a small salad and Caesar/ranch…

A dexa scan is the most accurate way to track body mass.

Slow cooker Keto braised oxtail but I put it in the pressure cooker and voila 40 mins later dinner was served. Used the juice to make a gravy and added a tiny bit of gar gum to thicken it up. Served with cauliflower mashed fauxtatoes. 11.7 g carbs, 84.5 g fat, 101.8 g protein

Whoops Dr. Westman thanks

You should check out Keto with Casey on YouTube. She is so encouraging and keeps it super simple. I was eating like crap and after a doctors visit I realized I was at my worst weight and had gained 30 lbs after giving birth to my 3 child. My cholesterol was high and I had elevated liver enzymes. So I thought I'd give this…

This is hardly a recipe but when I was having Keto flu side effects and they recommend beef stock. I didn't like the taste of that so I added a tbsp of unsalted butter. Soooooo good! I drink it now for a treat. Sounds weird but it really good!!

Thank you for posting this! I'm incorporating much more hills based on the responses!! Happy training!

Ya I'm super excited about it!!! running Santa Cruz to Capitola will be AMAZING!! GL on your half!!

I use Lululemon's running socks. They specifically have a sock created for the left and right foot. They are AMAZING!!

This chickpea burger recipe is AAHHHHMAZING! My meat eating friends love it! Substitute the taziki for hummus and you have a winner!! http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2011/10/colleens-chickpea-burgers-with-tahini-sauce.html

Congrats on the 10K, that's a great accomplishment! You can totally do a half marathon, they are so much fun!!. Remember that it's a process give yourself 4 months, be consistent with your training and build slowly. Never miss a long run and try to do most of your short/mid runs. It's 80% Mental and 20% skill. Don't get…

8 weeks!! That's amazing!! Keep at it. Slow and steady is the way to go and gradually increase little by little to avoid injury. How many days a week are you running. If you noticed your legs are getting more tired than normal take 3-4 days off and rest. I started running 11 months ago at 215 lbs and I'm 5'10" and could…

So exciting!!! GL! If its 40's you are definitely going to want a long sleeved shirt. A thin one at the very minimum. Maybe even a sweatshirt or jacket. That's pretty chilly weather especially if you are not used to it. Just a tank and capris will be really cold. It's mid 50's out in San Francisco where I run and I always…
