Bumping this. I am really curious to see more advice. The only thing I can think of is cutting out the splenda. There is some info somewhere about how artificial sweeteners can make you gain weight. Stevia rocks though.

I had that problem too. I tried to make sure that my dinner was really filling and high fat and it worked like a charm. No more late night munchies! I don't worry about sodium at all (I just use all natural sea salt to my taste and stay away from most prepackaged foods). If you are still hungry shortly after dinner try a…

Remember that fat is your friend when it comes to feeling full. Nuts are nice for snacking, but the carbs add up quick, and can add up too high before you are full. Macadamia nuts are awesome. Lots of fat and few carbs. 1.5 net carbs per ounce. They are expensive though. Low carb veggies dipped in homemade ranch can give…

For me personally I find that my weight loss is the best when I have a high fat diet with 20 or less carbs a day. You can reset your MFP to different goals for your nutrition. I keep mine at a 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbs. Fat is really not bad for you like so many believe. New studies have even shown better heart…

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't stomach food before cardio. The main reason I was working out in the afternoon (other than that is when my son naps) is that I need to have a couple hours under my belt after eating to not get sick when I work out. Right now I'm just doing cardio on my elliptical. I want to work into…

Eaddyphd- Thank you for you genuine concern. I appreciate the fact that you are trying to help, but I'll be a low carb girl for the rest of my life. Low carb is the only way I have ever been able to lose weight and stay on track. I've lost 26 pounds in the past 8 weeks eating low carb, and I was only able to start…

Thanks!

Glad you are back! I just joined up with MFP this past week, but have been "dieting" for about 7 1/2 weeks. The best diet for PCOS is atkins. I know a lot of people (usually men who can't even have pcos! Lol! ) down the low carb thing here. But I have go to tell you that it is probably the only reason that I got pregnant…

You know you are a low carber if you are disgusted by: -low fat sour cream -I can't believe it's not butter -Fat free anything -having a salad with low fat dressing (and you horrified at the idea that that is a meal!) -Low fat anything -A meal without protein and or fat (toast and jam is not a meal!) You know you are a low…

I hope you have a great hike tomorrow! I've lost over 100 pounds doing low carb (meaning 20 ish carbs a day) in the past and was a total gym rat. I had so much energy eating low carb. As soon as I stopped low carbing I ate the same amount of calories but gained it all back (new hubby did not think low carb was healthy). In…

You know you are a low carber when - 70% of your calories are from fat and STILL are eating below the calorie "level" MFP says you should. - You say to someone that the more fat you have in your diet the less calories you end up eating on accident and they sound like they think you are totally nuts. -You skip your salad…

That's a great idea!
