Yes. I realise now this doesn't work and is just a fad, I wish I never tried it but I did (silly worrying about my holiday) I've joined that group and i'm working on eating more to lose. I can never seem to get over 1100 when eating clean! I'm definitley taking the slow approach now.

Also to add, unless you have a strong mental attitude towards dieting then do not try this. It messed me up mentally so bad!

I don't always log as I eat the same foods most days so I know the value for it

Yes, I done this diet as an expeirment. I would NEVER reccommend it as you put it back on as soon as you begin to eat a normal diet. Also the lack of energy I had was ridiculous, I barely spoke to anyone for the 7 days and luckily I wasn't working.

Sorry. It's now open :)

Thanks for the link :) Yes the meals I ate were low carb, usually chicken and veg or fish and veg.

BUMP

Great post! I'm never hungry or crave food until I start eating something!!

Thank you :smile: Usually on seperate days but sometimes I do 2 a day, like yesterday I was bored so did 2 and walked home which was like 5 miles. I will start adding oil to my foods when cooking as I don't usually do this. Ah this seems so much, it's so hard when you're trying to eat healthy sources and not junk.

Thanks for you're reply :) I'm 20 and my height is 5'8, weight = 140pounds, bodyfat 25%. I usually exercise 3x a week (more if I have time) I do 2 spinning sessions and 2 strength workouts with weights. I was thinking of adding coconut oil into my tea? I really want to up my food intake. I eat nuts which are cal dense but…

I have it with cinnamon and walnuts. Or chocolate protein powder, thats my fave!!

I don't know too much about keto but I cut my carbs really low (under 30) and I expeirence all the keto symtons. If you're reducing down to 30 then refeeding with that high amount then it should defo work. I could not stick to it as I also ate low fat so was basically eating only protein.

Try hot milk with cinnamon. SO nice!

Thanks Guys! I think I need to re-adjust my portion sizes as if I have nuts I would usually only have like 6/8 which does not add up too alot. At the time I always think my portion size is fairly big but when I look back it actually isn't/ I will also start cooking with oil as I do not usually do this.

Good for you, happy to know that. But as I said I was referring to non processed foods.

I done a protein shake diet a few weeks ago and lost 7pound in a week. But it was hell so wanted to see if they're was any others. It did make me feel alot more comfortable though

BUMP

Thanks for that! I will try that first and see how it goes, as it mainly is for the fiber. Hard to get enough through protein and veg!

Yes it's like why can't you have both?? haha since doing squats etc I havent lost my bum which is a good thing, I hate being just skinny and straight!

Hmm mixed responses. I may try the flax for now as they're cheaper. I have only found milled flaxseed, are they as good as ground?

Morrocian oil works so good. I would add oil to your food (olive, coconut) as the good fats really help also nuts, fish etc. Mine has took months to start growing back, a high (in good fats) diet will help and lots of protein. It is MAINLY diet that affects it.

Thanks for the replies everyone. :) I have yo/yo'ed every since starting low carb so I don't think it's the way to go. HOWEVER as i'm already lean but I want to have a low bodyfat then I will watch my carbs. I think if do low carb ( as I can then focus on enough protein ) but add in oats, sweet potato and fruit then I will…

Thanks, I just wanted to be sure as i'm so confused with the amount of diff info you here over carbs. Do I caculate protein and fat from my goal wieght not actual weight i'm at now?

BUMP

I was one of those who lost quickly and in a faddy sort of way. Now i'm worse off that what I started. If you want to be good later down the line then slower is better. :)

You're right, there is no point in eating like that only to binge the week after. Last week for instance, I ate no more than 10grams a carb a day and was exercising. - I was like a zombie the whole week, hardly spoke to anyone. The this week I have totally craved and ate alot of sugar!! It was just that when someones…

Thanks. You're right, there is no point in eating a different diet every few weeks. I guess I need to focus on a slow approach and find something that works. The problem is finding something that works lol, I do prefer to eat nutrious foods as I have more energy and generally feel better. Previously when I ate grains…

Yes, I think it's just this whole thing has left me doubting my idea of a healthy diet. I used to think things such as grains, fruit etc where good for you but since the whole 'low carb' thing, i'm sure. But I do know it doesn't work for me as it leads to binges.

Not really. A trainer pushed it on me so I tried it as I thought he would know best but it has led to months of this and it has really started to get me down. I didn't have much to lose in the first place and now i'm worse off!! I feel I used to have a healthy diet and this has totally messed me up as to what is even…

I wish I would have done this from the start. I know how to eat healthy, and luckily actually like the food. but since I was so focused on losing weight for my hol I took the quick option and cut all carbs, then binged, then cut carbs (pretty much done this for a few months) one week i'm eating so little exercising like…
