23lbs lost in 2 months so far, this go around.

I can't stand the taste of water, the one time I tried low carb with only water to drink that was the sole reason I gave up. My entire liquid intake is approx 4 cans of Coke or Fanta zero a day and a ton of liquid sucralose sweetened tea. I lose around 2lbs a week and can't see that it's likely I'd lose faster if I gave…

@genmon00 shorties unite! It's definitely a wonder to me that I really can 'eat to satiety' on Keto and still lose faster than I ever did on strict calorie controlled low fat diets. I feel like Keto is healing the mess my metabolism was in after years of dieting - I've been Keto for a quite a while on and off (family…

I keep an eye on calories as a side result of logging and seem to average between 1500-1600 cals a day. I lose fairly consistently on that, while on low calorie (1200 calories a day) I lost incredibly slowly. I'm 5'2", female, BMI around 35 and all the calorie charts would say I should be on 1200 so I think I'm living…

@jlynnschroyer why not have some allowable fast food when you have cravings? Burgers without the bun are fine, burrito salads with no rice or beans are great. There's no reason not to have fast food now and then once you figure out how to have it on plan. I eat mcdo regularly as it's easy to grab a bunless burger when I'm…

Frankly you look beautiful in both sets of pictures but much thinner in the second.

I usually get my bunless burgers in a bowl. Doesn't all the lettuce drown out the flavour a bit? I had winner winner roast chicken dinner:

Just a note re: net carbs - in the UK & most of Europe fiber is already subtracted so if you happen to look up an item (even a vegetable) from a uk store it will already show net carbs. Really just saying this in case any new uk Keto dieters read the thread. Welcome to the wagon! It's a great place to be!

This is one of those products I'm suspicious of in a 'too good to be true' sort of way so in interested to hear what you think of it and if you think it affects losses.
-
Also just to add, I think you're doing great and I understand the desire to see ever more impressive results - what dieter doesnt!
-
Mate, I'm a 5'2" tall, under 200lb female and I eat around 1600 calories a day, under 20g carbs and lose consistently. If you're eating the same as me I doubt you need to cut back. I know calorie intake is a very personal thing and a lot depends on how your own body metabolises carbs etc - I am very insulin sensitive (I…
-
I think it's a good idea, don't delete! My goal is to stay 100 percent on plan (Keto under 30g) until December 15th when I have my office Xmas lunch and my grandmas memorial on the same day. I want to stay moderate carb over Xmas too if possible but may plan a little time off plan. Im also going to experiment with cutting…

Have you had zero loss for several weeks or has your loss just slowed a little? Because slowing is natural. People eat to many different plans but the important thing is to find what's comfortable for you - if you're eating 2 meals a day to try and speed up losses but you would be happier eating 3 then you're more likely…

Q: what sort of things do you eat as snacks with zero or little carb but high fat if you don't have dairy? I rely on dairy to make up quite a bit of my calorie and fat intake over a day as it's affordable...

Chicken wings aren't fattening if you're on atkins...

2nd week plateau after a big loss first week was always considered a classic pattern when I was doing Atkins - Atkins even wrote about the common no loss week either 2nd or 3rd week of induction. You drop that much weight in a week your body starts wondering what on earth is going on. It just needs a week to consolidate…

Make flax seed or sesame crackers? Or have with some sliced cucumber? I eat cheese with cucumber or just on its own.
-
Oh I'm totally not stressed about it, it's just something I think about when eg: I notice I have an extra fatty cut of beef and feel pretty sure it won't match the average on the packet! It works so I'm not worried but I suspect my real macros are quite different to the ones I'm working from. My fatty cut of beef today was…
-
Because doctors are taught to be fatphobic. I have a number of friends whose doctors have missed serious medical issues - and when I say serious as a tumor I mean that literally - because every single symptom is put down to weight. There are a few good doctors out there but the statistics show fat people get worse care,…
-
True that would be more accurate, but a pain to do (and very hard with bacon)! I agree, shooting blind is working so I'm not really worried I just know so much of my log must be wild generalization even though I'm so careful about keeping it!
-
Oh! I was also thinking about Xmas the other day and ways to keep moderate carb during it and I think I am going to make myself low carb almond brittle and low carb cookies but only on Xmas eve. That way I can limit whatever else I may eat as I will still have 'treats'. I used to make Keto desserts now and then but don't…

Halloween isn't a huge thing here, we will have some sweets to hand out but I can resist them and hopefully we'll get rid of them all on the night. We don't have thanksgiving although I have a friend studying here from America so I might try to find something for her. If so I'm happy with turkey and veggies. Xmas is always…

When this message pleases you.

Have you tried googling twilight sleep? A lot of doctors are fatphobic and will use your weight as an excuse for literally anything you complain about so I'm wary of what you were told - if you want a different sedation you should be given it. I am allergic to morphine which causes problems but they can't give me something…

I get metallic Keto breath (but lovely clean teeth) and I can smell my pee if I have asparagus but otherwise I seem to have no issues. BO seems reduced even but it's hard to say, I just don't really have it at least when using a deodorant. I eat pretty high protein compared to a lot of people and I have cheese just about…
-
Sucralose sweetener causes me no issues and I use a ton in my tea, never used stevia as I find it bitter. I drink easily 6 cups of milky tea a day but I use unsweetened soya milk- 400mls of it is less than 90 cals and about 2 carbs. Too much cream can stall me - occasionally it's fine but on a daily basis it causes…

I have a 'scheduled' off plan day on Wednesday for my cousins birthday. Booked months ago when I was still munching carbs, it's a really expensive (£65) afternoon tea at a very posh restaurant called the ritz. Afternoon tea is: Tea Champagne Finger sandwiches of 4 different fillings on 4 different breads Scones Cake It's…
-
Liquid sucralose for me, only thing that tastes good. No cravings or blood spikes. I use it to sweeten my 90% choc.

Hi! I'm near London UK and I'm on day 41 of Keto, but have previously done Atkins and other low carb diets for up to a year at a stretch. I've been in and off for 8 years or so. Planning to stick with it this time!
