I bought a soda stream and just stated carbonating all of my water and added lemon or just drinking it plain. Seriously, I HATE HATE HATE drinking plain water, but now I drink 5 L of the stuff a day!

You have that classic beauty that is very "Mad Men"/1950's movie actress. Seriously, you are a GORGEOUS woman!!

Because I am around people when I eat (sunday dinners with the fam, etc) I do get asked why I am not eating particular things and simply say, "I'm just watching what I eat." I think going on and on about dieting and weight loss is incredibly annoying and presumptive, especially because a LOT of people lost ten pounds and…

^ It's really sad that you feel the need to shame overweight people for a laugh.

Congratulations! You are GORGEOUS!

I agree with the above poster. I think Christina (and many other women) are sick of the media skirting around weight with bull**** words like "curvy", "phat", "fluffy" and "full figured". The fact that there is even a focus on her weight at all is really disgusting. She is a perfect, beautiful woman who should be admired…

Would definitely be friends with this person. Just a friendly looking gal :D

1) Don't bring it up around people you know will be jerks about it. You now know that this person is not someone you can rely on to be an adult about YOUR body and YOUR goals. Most people hate to hear about other people's diets. It's like listening to someone talk about their dreams. There is no way to relate and often it…

It depends. Some people who are diabetic, insulin resistant, who have thyroid issues, PCOS, etc will benefit greatly from a low-carb diet. People who are binge eaters, such as myself, may find that high fat, low carb diets are more satiating than high carb diets and thus tend to help us keep our binge eating disorders in…

I can see how this is difficult. The points system was a massive support system that was easy to use. You didn't have to think about it too much, even when going out because a lot of places had points worked out for you already. You can't eat unlimited fruits and vegetables anymore (and you never could to lose weight,…

Ordering out at all. I am a cook by nature so I know something is wrong when I am ordering food. There is no healthy way to do it, at least in my area, and it means I need to get by butt off the couch and do some grocery shopping and major kitchen cleaning!

He died falling on ice. FALLING ON ICE. Low-carb diets are safe for almost everyone unless you have a liver or kidney disease, are pregnant or severely diabetic.

To maintain my weight I would need to eat 2,800 calories, give or take, a day (306 lbs and 5' 11"). I eat about 2,000 calories a day and don't worry too much if I go over by one or two hundred calories. I am also conscious of my macros and try to up my fat intake and minimize my carbs to keep me satiated longer. I haven't…

The myth of "starvation mode" is overstated in our weight loss communities. There is no such thing as undereating for a few days and then going into a mythological starvation mode where you gain more weight. It's just bad science. It is true that over long periods of time (months and years) your body will try to adapt to…

I agree that it is ridiculous. Sensa is not an FDA approved or properly researched drug. The clinical studies that have been conducted are actually not done by any scientific standard. However, I think it is important that we don't call people stupid or dumb for buying into it. We are constantly surrounded by bad…

Just get back on the saddle. Don't use this as an excuse to have a bad day or a bad week. Expect water weight gain as you are upping your glucose levels and that will make you retain water. Keep on ketoing and you should be back down by tomorrow or the next day.

Eating a cup of nuts is not recommended as one serving typically contains between 4-6g carbs. 1 cup is 4 servings of almost all nuts. They are also higher in omega 6s, which we try to avoid.
