You can add me :o)

I feel this way too. I buy high protein shakes at Costco which are low carb (3 net carbs) per container & 30 grams of protein. I also like fat free refried beans with low carbs tortilla's & fat free cheese (a burrito) yumm! Also you can buy Isopure protein isolate in vanilla which has tons of protein (50 grams) & very…

I have suffered from it alot in the past 35 years (alot was due to my environment but also childhood trauma. It is a proven fact that exercising helps with depression, releasing endorphins which help you feel better, so anything you can do to keep moving will help! Also some people have allergies to gluten (in breads etc.)…

What type of diet do you want to do or did he suggest. Do you have diabetes/pre diabetes, any other health issues? I can only suggest the way I do things based on a low carb plan. I tried doing calories but it didn't work & I was always starving. I tried weight watchers but gained weight due to all the fruit & carbs from…

R u doing Atkins (I saw the bars logged in your foods? If so, I wouldn't combine ANY sugar (jelly belly) with ATkins products which are high fat. A common mistake people make is trying to combine diet plans to suit they're needs. You can combine high fat & high with sugar/carbs or you will gain weight. If you want to do…

Sorry, but what kind of diet are you on as we have to know that in order to reccommend how to tweak it. ie... I do Atkins/Low Carb so my suggestions would be based on my knowledge of this type of lifestyle.

I am kinda stupid when it comes to posting but were you referring to me?

Regardless of what Atkins says you don't have to start back at induction every time you "mess up" & eat sugar or bread etc... Besides, it sets you up for failure that way. If you have something you are not supposed to, just get up the next day & go back to whatever you daily net carbs should be. The reason they stress…

Now: PB2 mixed with flax oil & stevia mixed & dipping it with an Atkins bar. Then: Al's Apple Fritter donuts with a large pizza hut pizza, mushroom, pineapple xtra sauce please

Feel free to add me, i'm on here every day!

Mine's open, feel free to ad me. I eat alot of the same foods daily but I can use the support too :o) I always show eating more than my RDA of calories though because Atkins/Low Carb requires more calories or you can gain from not eating enough.

When I first started dieting & had alot to lose my motivation was my grandson being born. I want to be alive & healthy enough to take him to Disneyworld/Land, fishing in Tampa & anywhere he wants to go. I also want to be alive to see him graduate & have kids! Atkins gave me that extra UMPH I needed by allowing me to see…

I guess I should mention that you could in theory still lose weight if you are eating fruits but that all depends on how much you have to lose. My husband is on weight watchers & eats more than 5 servings of fruit a day & is still losing weight, however he is NOT on atkins & NOT eating a high amount of fat. The thing that…

I would just suggest having your bloodwork done so you can see what you cholesterol levels are & what they are again after 6 months or so on a high fat (meat) diet to make sure you are not increasing your bad cholesterol like I did. I was on Atkins & bad c. went up so I "modified" Atkins & now I still get 50-70% or around…

For me, I don't lose weight if I am on a low carb (40-60 net carbs) plan & I eat more than 1 fruit a day. Some people just can't handle the carbs no matter what form they come in whether it's whole grains or fruit. I usally pick my fruits from the lowest carbs like strawberries, blueberries or peaches. I love bananas…

FatSecret is like this website but they automatically calculate the net carbs for you which is so much easier than here. This site needs to "clean up" all the food entries. It becomes a real problem when just anyone can edit other members foods & they don't understand how to calculate net carbs. I eat alot of the same…

I love "So Delicious" unsweetened coconut milk too. I also have an Atkins bar every night with a serving of PB2 mixed with 2 tsps of flax oil & a packet of stevia. Makes peanut butter (with healthy flax oil) to dip my atkins chocolate bar in! Only 6 net carbs. I also eat La Tortilla Factory Whole Wheat Low Carb High Fiber…

I love 100% Pure Libby's Pumpkin. A great tasting, natural & effective way to "keep you regular". It has 300% of your RDA of Vitamin A, 5 grams of Fiber & is only 40 calories a serving. I add cinnamon & 1.5 servings of half & half & two packets of Stevia (natural sugar free sweetener) & it's like eating pumpkin pie filling!

I tried those & they made me gag! Something about the smell (like fish) when you open the bag. And even after rinsing, they still smell like fish. The texture is so weird & nothing like noodles that I just couldn't stomach them!

I am 5 ft 1" & my goal is 107 but being a perfectionist, I may be trying to obtain the impossible. My body seems to like being 115-117lbs. I am trying to be ok with just knowing that I am eating heathly & exercising & cutting out sugars & carbs from wheat/bread & other grains.

4% cottage cheese but I wait until after 11am to eat because I workout on an empty stomach to help burn more carbs.
