  • Love it and it was worth the investment!
  • I shoot for 20 carbs and under. Coconut, coconut oil, chicken, low carb nuts and veggies.
  • Actually, it's what I don't eat that reduces fat.:happy: However, if you have to add something, coconut oil is a winner.
  • My husband's, of course!
  • 54 years of wisdom and glorious life!
  • As it happens, I just bought a scale this past week. Wow, am I glad that I did. My estimates were way off. It’s also made life a little easier. Now I can weigh out various items like nuts, put them in baggies, and have premeasured treats handy. I bought mine at Amazon for $15. I could have spent less, but I liked the…
  • To die for, or to make you die?????
  • I think it greatly depends on genetics. For some women, the hips and butt are the hardest places to lose inches. For me, it seems to be my thighs and the wings on my arms. I’m 5’2” and my goal is also 115.
  • http://www.theketogenicdiet.org/keto-videos/ For those looking for a good and easy explanation of how fat and carbohydrates affect fat metabolism and overall health, check out http://www.theketogenicdiet.org/keto-videos/ . There are several videos, but I recommend checking out Gary Taubes “Why We Get Fat” first. Then…
  • I suppose it depends on which cut of beef or pork, or what kind of fish. It also probably depends on which nutrients are desired. Salmon has lots of the proper Omegas, but I’m not sure about iron. Beef has iron, but not Omegas. Very interesting question. I’m looking forward to hearing what other people have to say. As far…
  • Yes, and it's the only plan that has helped me lose weight. In fact I lost 85 pounds on it. However, I slowly became lax in my diet and exercise routine last fall, and of course started gaining weight back over the winter. Now, I'm back on Atkins and the weight is starting to drop off again.
  • If you are limiting your sugars, you are automatically limiting your sugars. http://www.atkins.com/Home.aspx is the best place to start if you want to learn about the benifits of low carb. Best of luck to you!:drinker:

  • I am 5ft 2in, and my history is painfully close to yours. I read your profile. I can't lose weigh on a "regular" diet, or without being horrendously hungry 90% of the time. I am Insulin Resistant, and for people like me, the only way to control our weight is to control our carbohydrates. My family has a history of diabetes…
  • First, you are doing a great job with your eating plan and exercise routine! You are to be congratulated! I know it’s exciting when the pounds drop off at a faster rate in the beginning. I’m sure every dieter wishes that rate continued until we reached our goal. Alas, the human body does not function that way. So it’s…

  • Actually, it was listed as one of the "ten secrets to fat loss" by one of the fitness experts that I followed a couple of years ago. I can’t remember his name, but he suggested a cardio work out (gently) in the morning on an empty stomach. If you work out too hard, you’ll break down muscle (BADDDD) instead of burning fat…
  • http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/workoutdatabase.htm Try checking out this website. It's the best I've seen, and it has videos of the different exercises so you learn how to them right.
  • You've done an awesome job to lose 33 pounds! That alone is no small achievement. I know how tough it is to work hard and the scale not show the results of your efforts. However, the scale is a little bit like a fun house mirror, it shows your general image, but very imperfectly. If you are doing the work, things ARE…
  • I'm impressed and inspired!
