Black coffee. I don't eat until 5pm

Wow, active thread. I think it is that the cashiers all seem like they are defeated people. It isn't just that they aren't friendly or helpful. It is that they seem to be so utterly defeated. Something really depressing about confronting people who don't seem to have hope of making things better for themselves. It would be…

Wow, 8 months. What FANTASTIC progress. I'm only a month into my journey. Thanks for the energizing post.

Says who? On what authority and what data? I'm sure that Kellogs and General Mills think so and they have a vested interest in seeing that you think so also. What did out paleolithic ancestors do for breakfast? Did they just pull something out from under a rock that they had stored there from the night before. Yesterdays…

I try to get 20 to 30 gm of fiber each day. I usually take 3 Tbs of psyllium and I take 250 mg of magnesium. The rest comes from veggies

Yes Greek yogurt is ok. You just can't overdoo as there are some carbs. The bacteria don't consume all of the lactose. I make my own yogurt using whole milk , ie 4% milkfat content. Then I strain it using a donvier yogurt maker and I have whole milk Greek yogurt. I save the liquid whey runoff and use in when I mix up a…

Unless it is indigestable fiber carve are carve. Most fruits are loaded with sugar. Fructose or glucose doesn't really manner. You have to drastically limit your carbs to see a change in you appetite. Log everything you eat and you'll have no problem seeing what foods have your carve in them. Look at my food diary. You…

They are convenient and easy to store. I measure out 1 and 2 oz portions of almonds into ziplock snack bags so they are ready to go. Always keep one in mjy desk drawer for an emergency. Almonds have a decent amount of fiber too. If I didn't measure them out I might mindlessly consume way too much; the kitchen scale is my…

So how is it working for you Brandi? Going fantastic for me. I started 5/21 after reasing the book at the web site and it really resonated with me. Down 15 lbs so far, looking for 50. Not to easy to find fellow FF'ers

Oh Yeah! bars. http://www.ohyeahnutrition.com/ I don't see nutrition data on their site. I buy mine from http://www/netrition.com They have nutrition data easy to display for everything.

I lost 30 lbs on Atkins a decade ago but then went off the wagon and gained it all back over 3 years and then some more. During that time restarted Low Carbing several times sometimes for months but could not repeat the great progress I had the 1st time nor the great feeling I had back then. Recently, the start of May, I…

Frozen blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, mixed with full fat greek yogurt (I make myself) or Hood Chocolate Calorie Countdown (formerly called Carb Countdown) Mix until the berries start to thaw and the yogurt or CC starts starts to freeze Sometimes I add fresh mango to greek yogurt, but I make one mango span 4…

I absolutely avoid this like the plague. There are only a few sugar alcohols that I can handle (and probably only in moderation) and what they use aren't them. More than one piece will put me in distress. In general I just try to avoid the sugar alcohols and glycerine "non-carbs". That stuff may be ok for some in…

"Low carb dieters tend to eat a lot of saturated fat. Many theorize this is bad for the heart and due to the increased cholesterol levels, the risk of heart attacks increases." My cholesterol goes down on LC (and triglicerides goes way down as there is a direct correlation between carbs in the diet and triglicerides)…

Two issues with Alcohol. 1) you mentioned, the calories being added back into your diet. 2) Alcohol is metabolized in the liver. Your liver is also involved in fat metabolism. While it is busy cleaning up the alcohol you ingested fat metabolism pretty much stops I'm told. So even if you are running a calorie deficit you…

I have no problem being in the state of ketosis on LCHF/Fast-5. I just got some test strips yesterday and tested and they were dark dark dark as dark as they ever were on my most intense workout day when I did Atkins. But I didn't need the test strip to know that (but I wanted to see just the same) . I can smell them on my…

You know you are a low-carber when.... you only shop the perimeter isles of the grocery store.

Jadesign19, My opinion is that the only "magic" of low carb is that cutting out the carbs allows me to gain control of my appetite. I won't go into any details on blood sugar, ketosis or insulin resistance. It is enough to say that eating junk carbs I can eat a lot and be hungry 2 hours later, eating fat and protein I can…

The first week or two on LC you are consuming glycogen that is stored in your body. Glycogen is stored in a hydrated form with 3-4 parts water per part glycogen. As you consume these stores you lose that stored water also. That is why weight loss is so dramatic at first and why you can gain 5 lbs overnight after one high…

1) Pepperoni and swiss cheese 2) Almonds

Just don't overdo it on the fruit. I often put some mango in my yogurt. Before LC it would be a whole mango. Now, when I do that it is 1/4 of one. I dice it up, store in the fridge and consume over several days. My favorite fruit is to freeze blueberries and raspberries. Then I can add some to yogurt or Hood chocolate…

Sandown54, I set my goals at 10% Carb, 45% Protein, 45% Fat.. But I don't worry to much about it. My calorie goal is 1760 so that works out to 44C 198P 88F . I'm often under my calorie goal and I try to make sure my Protein is at least 100g. on those days for my currently over 200lb body. I also try to get at least 20-30g…
