I watched the entire series, including Sugar:The Bitter Truth and I even watched Fat Head this week. Wow. Loved the info!

I don't see how that is possible since fiber is a carb, but you get to subtract it. So if you have a product that has more fiber than carbs, they probably have not added it to your carbs.... I think?

Um, you are awesome! This inspires me because I have work starting up again very soon and I will have to get my lunches ready for a week at a time. Love it!!

AGREE!

Balancing Omega 3 with my Omega 6 has helped WONDERS!

Nuts, specifically salted almonds. I overate them trying to stay on track on vaca, along with pistachios and pecans and it did really bad things to me... but I love them so much!

My experience is the opposite. On low carb, I had more energy and I was super full... but I think it is because it soaked up all the liquid in my belly. I had to really down some water!

Did it! Made two big pattys with the Colby Jack like you said - ate one, husband at the other. I need to really put more salt in them next time. Loved how the cheese crisped up! For some reason, my coconut oil kinda smokes... so I used spray pam. Accidentally put a whole teaspoon of garlic powder in, but didn't even taste…

WTH!! I see it in your dairy and I cannot find it in the database.... yet I know it's there. Help? Otherwise I can make the recipe in my own MFP. Thanks in advance... silly MFP....

I read it, but I go to your profile to see it!

Bump because my seeds should come today!

You should pop this into your blog for safe keeping!!

I know what you mean. I really felt so tired and could not workout like I used to once I went low carb. I sleep more, I am more "tired." But then again, I was on the high-normal end of my fasting blood sugar, so I am a hyped up person anyway. A hyper hypo, lol! With low carb, I am NOT. I get some of the things you have…

Well said. I keep hearing about slow carb a lot... similar to this. I know from my own body that when I go "off" low carb I am sick. I am in the bathroom with diarrhea... I am bloated. I am sick. And then I have to wait 3-4 days after that to get back to ketosis to start burning fat again and I feel tired and run down. For…

Love this!! I am living proof water rolls right back on as fast as it goes off. The good news is that enjoy low carbing... so getting back into it after a vaca is totally easy. Just like any "diet" I am not going to deprive myself on vacation the entire time.... this time i did a day or two on lc, then the last couple of…

feel free to add me! Just got back from vaca and gonna ride the HFLC train again!

Although, my triglycerides went up and so did my LDL.... but it was so slight it didn't matter. My Doctor said my tri's were unreal-low in the past - around 25. So if i jumped at all, in everything, I am a-ok and she said she hopes I am eating a lot of protein (ugh). I responded with saying - Of Course! But I didn't get…

But you didn't do this with low-carb really do you? When I did low-fat or low calories in the past and cheated, my body felt ok. With low carb, I seriously felt like pure crap. I think that is the difference. BTW, I will vouch for Naomi - she does do cheat days and it works for her. One thing I will point out is when I did…

And you look great! Glad to see you found something that works for you :)

Some. Not all. I smell normal.

This is totally true. One time, while sweating it stopped tasting salty. I have to really watch my salt intake and make sure it's on the up and up. Same for iron and potassium. Just don't drink a full glass of a lot of salt water. Did that once. it gives you the runs. Yes, I'm an idiot. haha!

Yup. Just this week. On week 4 of low carb... I was working out 2 hours a day in bootcamp, eating 1600 cals a day and the scale never moved. I felt deprived. When vacations came up, I freaked out at what I would eat. I had rollercoaster rides during the day as a teacher at work after eating all my healthy, low fat low cal…

I just checked out "4 day Body" looks like a wingdinger!

First off, congrats on quitting smoking! I did it 18 months ago and it was the best thing I ever did!! Keep it up!! I was 17 years in... I don't get how any low carber has energy to workout hard... I don't. But that's a different story... Hmm - I'd have to see your diary and see what you're eating? No weight loss in 6…

I have to admit that I kinda like eating it straight, too. :) That soap sounds GREAT!!!

Hang in there!! I have never tested my blood sugar... but maybe instead of candy can you have a piece of fruit ? I don't know if that would help with cravings though :(

Oh man... I cheated on Sunday and I PAID for it. I ate some cake stuff, then pigged out on nachos and a candy bar. For TWO DAYS I felt like crap. Irritable, bloated... gross. I just got back into ketosis - three days after the cheat. I think form now on a "cheat" day for me will be more calories, not really a boatload of…

But you need fat without carbs for energy? I think?

Welcome! Add me - my diary is open :)

I use Simply Right Vanilla from Sams club and it's 3 g per whole scoop! And tastes great! Here is what I make (but in the evening... for me, it's too sweet for breakfast): 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder 2-3 oz of heavy whipping cream 1c unsweetened almond milk 13 g of flaxmeal ice cubes I love it! The more cream you…
