hi ^^ my mum has blood pressure issues too. she has been told by a nutritionist to drink and eat cucumber for it every day! i hope it helps u !

wow, congrats! I started a HFLC diet and i'm thinking about starting IF. I'm still reading about it to see which type of IF to follow without collapsing ^^. My husband would never follow me in this so i'm going to have to survive watching him eating beside me.

thanks guys! i sent a request to all of you. I'm on day 2. i hope it is going well for everyone.

good because it was almost ridiculus. did any of you had a hard time keeping a conversation? i swear at times i was like a granny going off track ....

i don't know but i do admit that when i feel sad or depressed some food make my day less cr@ppy: cookies, macdonald's menu (don't ask me why! i carve it also when i feel nauseous lol) . But the rest of the time, i eat pizza, cookies, sushi well because i carve the taste. Well balanced recipes that gives us pleasure once…

i believe we almost all did ^^ no on know how much they really need to look unless they felt good at some point in there life and want to loose the weight they accumulated since then.

hi ^^ invitation sent!

i don't know for others but in my case i guess some diets like keto or atkins where carbs are low, some people can loose weight on these because cutting carbs curb their hunger pangs. it did that to me. oddly when i eat sugary food (even banana) i just carve more and more. Some call it a sweet thooth, but when you are home…

Only 1 box of cereal ? I'm not trying to boast here ladies but i had a 2 days marathon of double chocolat chips cookies just because i went keto 6 days. Casualities: 11 XL Packs of cookies, and a cramped digestive track. For the life of me i could not eat anything else! not even potato chips when my husband offered ....…

in my case it is for my asthma and allergies. for some reason on low carb diet i have 1 to no asthma attack per day but the moment i start eating carb rich food like fruits or bread etc ... my noise is runny and i have multiple asthma episodes per day .... even my doctor does not undertand it ... thanks to low carb i lived…

i wonder is green olives could work too? very salty, little carbs, a lot of fat ( at least on paper)? any other suggestions for salty treats ^^

hi! i'm interested in your experience and your conclusion! so IF what made you loose weight is the long term calorie restriction Was IF was just a way to plan your meal(s)? if you had not gone for IF but just for the calorie restriction do you believe you would have achieved your goal or did IF really help you? if yes in…

So salt it is ^^. i will try that and tell you how it goes! thanks a lot guys. Does a certain type of salt work better than another ?

i don't think any strict restricted diet can be healty on the long term usually it to acheive a goal (health or weight) that people follow one until there goal is reached. let not discuss if it is worth it only the person doing it can say it after the goal is reached but usualy after that people incorporate carb back…

Well the body has a way to put back the weight lost in such cases. I don't know about IF as much as i know about fasting. During ramadan a lot of people try to eat healty to loose weight and to keep it off ( less that 800 calories in 1 big meal) . the truth is even if they do achieve loose weight (water and fat) the moment…

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! i couldn't get past the sugar withdrawal the last time, i started over today. i hope i will be able to be as dedicated as you!

Thanks guy for your repplies ! But i wonder if it is really potassium and magnesium deficit is really the problem because i doubt that in 2 days we could be that severly lacking in them just because of the keto diet when people on water fasting have 0 food intake. And in my case 1 hour after i ate cookies ( not much of a…

i stopped weighting myself a year ago because : - It took too much space in my bathroom - Turned me into a neurotic woman checking her weight before eating, after eating - Got me depressed when i saw the numbers without understanding how i gained 1kg when i have been fasting. - Actually is useless and inacurate because…

you need to make sure that you are respecting your carb and your protein ratio. If your protein's intake is higher than it should then after a few days your body stared converting proteins into sugar and maybe even storing it. By the way are you exercising ?

when it comes to low carb you have to choose between low carb low fat or law card high fat (keto/atkins diet type). In both cases calories are inportant when it come to be sure that you are not binging on the first weeks latter on these diet are supposed to reduce your appetite once you are used to eating few carbs.

Because i would like to keep my clother and not buy larger ones and for my asthma

we all have ower own addictions. like you mine is carbs and sweets ( natural or industrial). i recently failed going keto for my asthma because i had the most severe headache : i could stand light (not even tv) or sounds, even medications did nothing to reduce the pain until i binged on cookies and then i'm fine again.…

well i did once because i believed that the cheating was going to falsify the result ( i binged on cookies and macdonald's the day before and was constipated since) i felt like i had 2 lds in intestines lol

Other than the weight gain did you loose inches? if so could be that you are gaining muscles. Muscles are heavier than fat. if you feel measurements are the sames then could be your carb intake. ^^

if you are loosing inches it could be that your are loosing fat and building muscles at the gym. Muscle is heavier than fat so this could explain it. personally i discovered that weight is no good indicator and that measures are the best to know how your body is responding to your diet and efforts. if you are slimer and…

i'm in !

hi! i'm starting p90X on monday ( did a bit of insanity this week but to mucch cardio and i'm no a sport person so i'm starting with p90x then i will do insanity once my muscles get used to the effort) Are you taking car of you body right ? or else sore muscles might you ! I would love it if we motivated one another ^^ Sara

on bad days when i feel no energy, i make pancakes with oatmel, whole grain, with eggs and soy milk. And i add agave sirop. i gess your body is tired of eating the same thing all the time once a week you should make, healthy pancakes, pizza and fruit pie, homemade burgers, Even sushi. If you eat pretty much the same thing…

i also get super bored of eggs so here is my one protein shake i no longer buy powder proteines ( their is always too much sweetner and sugar in them. Soy milk + Soy yogurt ( just for it to be creamy) + Fruit ( banana or strawberry etc..) + non sweeted vanilla extract. There is protein in it , only natural sweetness (…

i found the solution few month ago when i carved macdonal's like crazy. Buy : whole wheat burger bun 5%fat steaks Cheddar cheese Mayonnaise, prickels, mustard. cayenne piment Cut the prickel very small pieces ( about 2 pickels per humberger) add 3 tsp mayo 1/2 tsp mustard; a bit of cayenne piment. Enjoy ^^ it stopped my…
