Hmmm, interesting about eating more fat. Never thought of that. I probably eat lowest fat everyday. I opened my diary. For the people saying it doesn't add up, I am not saying that is all I eat, I also eat fruit, rice, pasta, and peanut butter, but I try to keep my portions low and only once a day. I am asking for tips of…

Okay, well I might eat a little rice, an apple, and broccoli in one day, but not all in the same meal. I'm assuming this is not too good. Its hard to find good options for a full day of food that ends up with less carbs. Any tips?

Interesting, I will have to give that a look. I hear so many mixed messages about food intake and its so hard to keep up. You'd think my doctor would be right but who knows.

I stopped eating dairy almost completely except when I have the occasional cheese or something. I use almond milk in my shakeology (which has carbs too but I love it) and thats about all for dairy. I have potatoes maybe once every 2 weeks or so, and I have pasta maybe once a week. A small amount of rice with dinner most…

Its not? How do I open it? I will go check.

I will check out the link, thanks. When cooking, I never use anything on my meat, I simply cook it and add salt and pepper or sometimes those cooking spices. I only cook chicken breast, salmon, and once in a while 90% lean ground beef. I did ask for a breakdown of macros, and she actually used the myfitnesspal app on my…

You guys can look at my diary and see what I'm eating. As for why she told me to eat low carb it is because I am almost diabetic and she wants me to eat low sugar/carbs I think. I usually eat peppers, kale, cucumbers, lettuce, peas, broccoli, and those kinds of veggies. I am aware of the carbs in rice and potatoes but I…

Popcorn! I buy this low cal sea salt popcorn its about 30-40 cals a cup and 130 for 3.5 cups. Its satisfying for crunchy and salty cravings and also for the fact that you can sit and munch on them for a bit

Soda, fast food places, and oreos. If I eat one oreo I usually eat all the oreos. Potato chips are the same way. Any dessert that isnt satisfying after one small portion. Otherwise ill binge.

So it seems like I am doing the right thing. Trying to quit these types of addictive foods?

I did not. I only would drink diet sodas on occassion. Like very rarely. Id like to give them up completely but I dont drink them enough to have made a difference yet.

I went to the doctors recently to check for that and they said it was fine but maybe things changed.

Thank you! I have no idea how much carbs and fat to eat :/ im just not eating as big portions of food and if its obviously unhealthy (like the packaged cookies my family took out last night) im just saying no. And things like a white bread hamburger roll is just not necessary i think. So im just cutting out calories and…

Well thank you that gives me hope at least! :)

Yeah I am going to visit my doctor i just wondered if this is maybe a normal set back for people because i am worried about it. The only thing I am trying to lower is anything addictive like sugar and fast foods. But maybe I am going through a withdrawl. Does that seem possible?

I am counting. I have been eating between 1500-1900 while burning about 350. I have been sleeping normal up until last night I had trouble falling asleep which is very odd for me. I have a cpap and sleep for 7-8 hrs uninterrupted every night.

Well I didnt so much replace them as just eating different foods. I used to eat dessert every night and a lot of it and now I am just not unless I seriously crave something. I bought those Kashi oatmeal cookies and one satisfies me. As far as chips If i am craving them I have popcorn with salt its like 45 cals a cup and…

I saw like one person leave a screenshot. Everyone else didnt. And yeah thats the whole thing I want to keep my history so I google online calculators to help me choose what I should be eating. I never said you didnt work hard but everyone else here is still starting or working on it. Everyone on this whole damn website…

Can you change the starting weight any other way than deleting all your history? I havent found out how yet. I like to have that there because my weight changes constantly so I like to see where its been over the years. Its my only track record of it. So yeah my starting weight is always what is was 2 years ago. And i dont…

You guys are all rude. She probably means a site where you can figure out what your calorie intake should be for your goal and what you weigh. For example I cant use this app bc my weight is much higher than the weight I put in 2 years ago as my starting weight so it will give me wrong amounts. Plus i cant figure out how…

The app doesnt really give me accurate calories and I want to lose more than 1 ib a week if I can. i have to lose over 100 ibs and 1 a week will take forever. Im shooting for 2 at least. I use those websites with calculators to find out my calories. Honestly most days I am closer to 1500-1600 with exercise but I am still…

I figure 1200 is low enough so if I eat them all back I will be safe. I just chose that number by myself...

Well it seems like the app gives you a lot extra cals for a workout. For example Ill do the elliptical for 30 mins and on the machine it will say 300-350 cals and the app will say 550 or something and I usually go with what the machine says. Im 270 ibs wanting to lose as much as possible. Also I try to not eat back all of…

Shakeology is my breakfast. Its the only healthy thing I want in the morning.

I try to log everything but usually I'll mess up if I snack. Which I try to avoid. By snacking I mean eating a few chips, then a spoonfull of ice cream, then a few bites of this, and a tiny handful of that throughout the day. If this happens I take note and try to best figure out the calories and just add them in by quick…

I lost 20 and then gained back 50. It was horribly depressing but here I am trying to lose that 50 again plus another 50
