I switched from carb cycling to keto. Eating high healthy fat, moderate protein and low carb has finally given me the strength to control my addiction to sugar. Finding your macros depends on several different factors. For the keto eating lifestyle I used the calculator from the site http://www.ruled.me/keto-calculator/…

bacon all forms of coconut (oil, flakes, butter) pimento cheese (Palmetto Cheese Brand) Lowry's microwave pork rinds eggs

I like ketogenics success I found it through ketovangelist.com

The kickoff meeting is Jan 15. I won't know the details until then. I went to the ruled me website and plugged in my numbers again to check my macros. The results were 56 g protein, 19 g carbs, 132 g fat. I have been doing net carbs and have gradually reduced my net carbs to under 30 I think 19 will be a stretch for me. I…

Ketogenics can help stabilize blood glucose whether you are type 1 or 2. You just have to research and see if this is something that might work for your lifestyle. :smiley: http://www.dietdoctor.com/one-year-lchf-diet-type-1-diabetes

I go by net carbs because I love veggies with my healthy fats and proteins. There are several sites online along with Facebook groups you can join. The first sites that come to mind are ketovangelist.com and ruled.me. You can also check pinterest for lots of information boards. I've been eating keto (low carb high fat) for…

Do an online search for ketogenic diet or keto. This has been a very positive way of eating for people with type 2 diabetes.

Protein is important but shakes are optional. Check out bodybuilding.com for reivews of several different types of protein. I think egg white protein is popular with those wishing to lose weight and firm up. You can buy pasteurized egg white in grocery stores. You can also use whole eggs depending on how you plan to use…

Hope everyone has a happy new year!

Merry Christmas! :)

Merry Christmas Tiff! Great profile pic! Looks like you are still doing awesome! :) Hope everyone here has a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday!

I had a carb headache today! Amazing how carbs affect ones body! I don't think I have ever experienced one before. It was empowering to go grocery shopping today and restock for the coming week. Workout classes resume tomorrow as well. Also, my daughter has decided to join me in the 28 day squat challenge. We begin on 12/1!

I go for sugar when I'm stressed. In the past if there wasn't anything on hand I'd pull out what ever ingredients I had and make something. NOW I don't even keep sugar, flour, eggs, or butter on hand. I buy them only when I know I'll be using them all up. The past week or so I've really been wanting some alcohol (vodka).…

Thanks! Bullion is going on the shopping list. Edwards is a brand and they make some tasty pie'Most are pretty close to or as good as home made.

What side effects are you feeling ?" - I have to really push myself in my classes now. It's like I have some sort of invisible force that's holding me back. Spin has really been a struggle since it's non stop cardio for 45 mns straight. I usually don't go any heavier than 35lbs of weight for my Body Blast class but last…

WellI have a new goal. Get under 30! Thanks for the info, I just got to work a little harder!

My sodium has gone up. I was trying to keep it around 1500 but that's impossible. I'll find the group and join.. Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for the info too!

Good Info! Thanks! :)

I'm going to pay closer attention to how you eat and see if I can mimic some of the macros. I look at everyone's' diary here and there but never pay close attention. My staples are grilled chicken and broccoli. I'll eat this until I grow tired of it then move on. I'm trying to pay close attention to hidden carbs as well…

Thanks! I've been considering chia seeds. (Just having a problem because of the image of chia pets always pops into my head when I look at them in stores. LOL!) You receipe sounds totally doable for me! Also - I had to actually go up to 1400 on my calorie intake in order to lose weight. I wasn't eating enough to fuel my…

I also posted this question on one of the keto boards but I'm curious. Those who are doing low carb or keto - have you ever been able to keep your total net carbs at 30 grams for the entire day? I did hit 40 one day but typically run between 60-70. I'm trying to lose fat and increase muscle but I've already experienced…

Curious - what type of menu do you follow to stay under 30g of carbs? I usually finish the day with around 60-70 net carbs. I've been carb cycling for 8 days and have lost 8 lbs. My goal is to reduce fat and increase muscle. I discovered the rule.me website and found a lot of information on keto cycling. As a general rule…

Hi Triplestep! You can also get some additional info from Heidi Powell's website and by reading back through the previous posts. Also, yes those portions were oer each meal. :)

I found a lot of information on the Keto Cycling Diet at a site called ruled.me. You can even download a 30 day plan (donations are requested but not required). I lost 8lbs the first week of my keto routine BUT - I gained a whopping 5lbs back over the weekend. This was a result of binging on processed carbs. (Thank you mom…

If you aren't bold enough to carry measuring utensils then make you a cheat sheet from the Powell book just to reinforce what a proper portion is.

Awesome! What a great feeling! Woo hoo! Happy dance! Great job!

If you have the opportunity portion out snack baggies of raw nuts for snacking. If there is a mini fridge at your hotel. Pick up a few healthy snacks. If you know you are going to be eating at a restaurant in advance - look up the menu online so that you can see what your options are. If they have a fitness center plan…

Plus side is Deer is so much healthier than the meats we pay dearly for in the grocery store.! I never tried the sausage but I used to like a good roast. Seems like we used to cook it in the pot roast bags that come with seasoning mix. Bon apetit! :smiley:

I haven't had deer in decades but my oldest daughter lives in the mountains and they love deer meat. Her husband usually bags a couple each year. This year he begged her to come along - she did - thinking this might be a great opp to get some time to herself and enjoy some reflection time in nature. She wound up bagging…

Oops sorry! I can remember when I could eat all of the Cinnamon sticks by myself! Now I don't really like pizza type foods that much. Cheeseburgers are my fixation these days.
