I eat flaxseed, avocado, and almonds or pecans everyday. They have enough fiber to keep me perfectly regular. They are actually where I get most my fiber because in all actuality, veggies are NOT high in fiber - at least not high enough for me. :) Also, I had huge problems working out with low carb at first. Then i…

It took me a week and a half. :/ Seriously, cheating is the worst.

YES! In the past, I would just eat to eat... now I know I am out of fuel because I start yawning, stuttering and just can't think straight. As soon as I eat - it goes away! Amazing how I can read my body's signals now and never could before! BTW, until you guys let go of "fats are bad," you're not going to be able to do…

Certainly go moderate here... if you eat too much protein, your body will be like, "oh hey! i can turn you into glucose and use you for energy!" Or so I have read. I am 5 ft 9 and currently weigh around 155 (oh yeah - almost to goal!) and I eat about 100 g to no more than 140 grams of protein a day. Although, so some days…

I make the low carb muffin in a minute and it's 16 carbs, and then 10 of them are fiber. ;) I am eating WAY less fiber than when I was low cal and low fat. But I don't think I needed all the fiber I was eating. I try to aim for at least 20, but it's no big deal if I don't. If you can't go #2... then I would worry. But if…

And you probably won't gain anything from it. :)

And you're right. Zipper - you know exactly what she was talking about. Why would you say that!? Anyway, I once ate a peppermint candy while not thinking! Then panic set in! ha! But I think you will be okay. Just stay low the rest of the day. It's going to happen time to time. Put it out of your mind.... which is what I…

Let me just say - if you have an addiction to carbs, don't replace the carby stuff with imitation low carb frankenfood. Otherwise you are never going to stop you want of it. I know that once I cut out Culver's Custard (among other bad for you items) I no longer even though of them. Let's put it this way - I know what it's…

#1 I use the phrase off the chain ALL THE TIME! Love it! i also say off the hinges and OOC (out of control). HAAA! #2 - Eat as much sodium as you need. You need more when you're low carb. Unless you have problems with sodium, you don't need to monitor it. I get peeved when people tell me to put down my pickle - it's loaded…

It all depends on you, really. My friend does less than 100 net a day, and I try for less than 50 net a day... although I am noticing that when I go over 30 net, I seem to ride the ketosis line. So it's always different. Being is ketosis is important to me because I know I am burning fat. However, for others they just want…

Just stumbled on this. DietDoctor is one of my fave websites! http://www.dietdoctor.com/how-to-lose-weight-part-2-of-17

So you're low fat, low calorie, and low carb? I could never do that. I eat high fat, low carb an that makes it to where I don't count calories. I eat 1600-2500 a day and I lose weight. I also workout 3-5 times a week for an hour, high intensity. I've heard weird things happening in your body when you're low carb and low…

I bet they are!! In other news, I DO add salt to it because I think it needs it.

I say if this is once in awhile, okay. But everyday you're not hungry? WOW! I am the total opposite (but I'm an outlier, too!) Are you working out? I guess in the end, if you really feel okay, it's all good. However, I would probably add more fat to my food. If your weight loss stalls, then it might be a good idea to do…

Wow... what do you do for a living? I hope it's helping and working with others because you have a knack for communication.

They were GREAT!!

I've noticed that when i just STOPPED eating sugar... over time you don't even crave it anymore. This stuff above was said perfectly... but I would say - try to just stop with the sugar. Even the imitation stuff. Once i did that, things got way easier. Now I just eat full fat cheese instead of something sweet :) Or mix up…

i chew at least 10 sticks of gum a day... it shouldn't be that. As for fat, put coconut oil in stuff - I eat full fat meat like steaks and ground beef. I use full fat dairy... Hmm trying to think. I think people have recipes for "fat bombs" too! Forget what they are tho!

I remember that cycle! I kicked smoking and drinking about a year and a half ago - best thing I ever did for my body because I was in that cycle ALL the time!

I haven't looked at your diary, but reading the comments, your carbs may be too high. I tend to lose when I am under 50 g of net carbs. I noticed you said you didn't cheat much... what does that mean? One bad day can send your body out of ketosis and stall weight loss for days. (Due to the glycogen clinging to water.) All…

I used to eat steel cut oats back in the day... now I don't miss them at all when I eat my cheesy chicken brat for breakfast! :)

Ignore this person's notion of it being '2 carbs' : http://www.food.com/recipe/very-low-carb-pumpkin-muffin-in-a-minute-mim-462866 But this looks heavenly! I may have it for breakfast!

anyone tried these with pumpkin? I'm going to... maybe sometime today!

:( nope. netrition.com seems to be what everyone uses, but I just use Amazon.com :)

Going to make this tomorrow.... finally have all the ingredients!

Oooo! Thanks for the book adds!

Whoopsie. Last night was a fat fest. I want to say I came close to 200 grams yesterday (it was a special occasion - that's not normal, haha) I'll keep that in mind. What I am thinking of doing is just eating the sweet potato before the workout with not much else. Hopefully my body will grab it and use it up asap. I will…

Where I am 'lucky' is that I am in the last 10 lbs of weight I would like to lose. So that's a plus. If weight loss slows, that is okay with me - as long as I don't re-gain. I'd love to hear how this works for you!! Keep in touch!

Also a good read! http://www.paleoforwomen.com/carbohydrates-for-fertility-and-health/

I think I am really bummed because this diet is going well for me otherwise. But this scrape I have is not healing... my eyes are killing me.... ugh. I ate my potato last night and I was so so sad to see my carb totals yesterday. :( I think I am going to add a tiny bit of sweet potato back to see what amount works - and I…
