Can I join please☺

Mostly I can stick to Paleo OK, no rice, grains etc my downfalls are wine and chocolate I think I drank a bottle and a half at a BBQ yesterday!

Tried it, YUMMY! Thanks for the tip????

That sounds lovely, going to try tonight! I usually stick to cheese and mushrooms

Hi you need to eat, if you only eat fruit and veg you cannot get nearly enough calories and you will make yourself ill, been there myself, give yourself a break, nourish your body once the medication has your levels under control then worry about the weight

Me too ! I have beenslowly sliding off the wagon and up 9lb from my lowest weight. I have tracked religiously for the last week to see where I was going horribly wrong and have been eating between 100 and 150 carbs per day! gettting back on the wagon as of today which is kinda helped by the fact I ate bread last night and…

Add good fats, cream, cheese, coconut oil etc these up your calories and make you feel full

Thanks for your help, I think I know what it is and its not my thyroid its the field of oil rape plants near my house, my normal hayfever complaints sneezing and runny nose are under control by medication (I swear I rattle when you shake me!) But I think the pollen is still irritating my skin, with hindsight when my skin…

Hi, in addition to some great advice I would suggest getting your thyroid levels checked, having a baby can be one of the triggers for hypothyroidism... nothing worked for me until I was diagnosed (v low calories and exercise was making me ill!) and then I lost 2 stone

Hi, i have been like this for a few weeks, tired and brain fog all the time Last night I exercised, nothing too hard just a half hour walking workout on the treadmill And then 20 minutes of weights. I now feel better han I have for weeks! I think doing 30 minutes of gentle exercise everyday has to be a priority

Sorry week 6 ☺

Week 4 d1 done ! Found weeks 1- 3 relatively easy ( this is my 3rd attempt and I bike a lot) but today was quite hard. Just hoping to get passed day 6 this time

This is 2 colds in 2 months, last month I had a chest infection as well :( so basically started excercising again then bam poorly :( I tend to get to sleep at about 10.30 so if I get up at 6 that would be 7 1/2 hours so that should be fine In addition to this the only thing I can face eating is carbs, salad and meat with a…

Hi I have sent you a friend request :-) Im back on the low carb myself this week, I have fasted today and already starting to feel better

Hi, I'm doing NROLFW and loving it. The exercises are illustrated and if you have queries you can usually find a demo on YouTube. I workout at home but most people report that the scary looking guys at the gym are usually really helpful :-) If you do decide to wait until you can afford training sessions I would still…

Hi and welcome :-) Hope these answers help 1) the 2 things that make food taste nice are fat and sugar, if company's take fat out of products they usually put sugar in. As low carbers we are aiming to minimise sugar. Look at the sugar content on full and low fat yoghurt as a good example 2)Yes you can still count calories,…

Hi, I am a low Carber with hypothyroid : ) Between august and christmas last year I dropped from 199 to 175lb eating less than 50g of carbs per day, I was also doing the new rules of lifting workout 2/3 times per week This year has been a little less sucessfull, I have been able to avoid the key carbs such as rice / pasta…

Hi, not done insanity but run and lift weights, you will be fine doing insanity BUT not yet, give it a month or so for your body to get used to the low carb and then start to increase the exercise : )

hi If you join the low carb groups there is loads of support, recipies and guidance I loose weight and feel good if I stick to less than about 50g of carbs a day, Unfortunately I havent been as good at stickign to that as I need to since christmas and havent really lost anythign this year, but more positively I am still at…

Needs to be a way of life for me too, which has to mean NO Chocolate or biscuits I have managed to cut out the bread, pasta and ricce very sucessfully since last July but since Christmas I have been eating chocolates and biscuits and the more I eat the more I want and eat I have vowed this has to stop and my free cream egg…

Hi, I was diagnosed last year after months of not loosing weight despite low cal high exercise. however I think that was making my symptoms worse. Now I eat low carb / high fat and lift weights. I have managed to loose 25lb since last year and feel much better overall its worth trying a different approach, anything is…

A Protein shake made with almond or coconut milk : ) or a handful of almonds I have found that when low carbing properly you dont need to snack too much

hi, I had the same issue over the weekend I felt my mood slowly dropping since Thursday on Saturday morning a delivery that I had arranged to pick up a new bathroom suite for our house fell through ( i didn't expalin haow big it was apparently) which threw me into a complete downward spiral to the point where I went to bed…

Hi, Im from Sherburn in elmet near Selby but origionally from 'ull : )

Hi, I'm from the UK as well, there seem to be a few people who sell almond flour and coconut flour on eBay and tend to be cheaper than Amazon Another good source tends to be large ethnic supermarkets

Finally another lb off! 2 down since Jan, slow and steady is better than none at all I suppose : )

Have added my stats! only a 3lb increase over christmas which i am very pleased with as slightly fell off the low carb wagon and did no exercise at all back on low carb now and have just completed my first weights set ofthe year and once I have finished this post off to do a 20 minute cardio DVD to finish off I am doing…

Me too! Grew up in Willerby but moved slightly westbound and now just past selby : )

Hi Please count me in! im doing quite well this year but will need a kick up the bum in Jan!
