  • Hello ladies. I just wanted to reach out as well and let you know that I too read Chris Powell's book, and while I thought it was good, I still found myself a bit unclear on the specifics. I just finished reading Franco Carlotto's book "Carb Cycle" and I found that it really broke down the plan to where it was much easier…
  • Hi everyone. My name's Jen and I am also doing 2on/1off x2 with the 7th day FREE/REWARD. Feel free to add me as a friend! I'd love to gain some insight on your experiences and share some of mine. I also found that Frank Carlotto's book "Carb Cycle" was WAY easier to understand than Chris Powell's... just thought I'd spread…
  • I'm in with that too! I actually have my wedding in less than 1 month (March 22) and I would LOVE to lose as much as possible between now and then! Thanks for the support!
  • Hi! I think we may be pretty close… And I totally get what you mean. It seems like anything that I do off track reflects on my progress. Friend request sent! Height: 5'2" CW: 128.5 pounds GW: 120 (I'd be ecstatic to get to 115!) pounds Current Body Fat%: 29
  • Hi everyone. I am about 2 1/2 weeks into the program and have lost about 4.5 pounds so far. I have a goal of 20-pound weight loss total. I know it doesn't seem like a lot of weight in comparison to someone who has a larger amount of weight that they would like to lose, however 20-pounds is still a significant amount,…
  • In the US, total carb counts MINUS the dietary fiber = NET CARBS. In some places like the UK, the net carbs are already calculated for you and is shown in the total carbs. For example, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds is 4 grams of total carbs with the dietary fiber at 4 grams, thus making the net carb 0. I am in the US, so I…
  • Perfect advice. Thanks. I have been guzzling the water all day today and I LOVE sleeping! :)
  • I "technically" didn't cheat--just drank more than what I wanted to. I even checked for ketones when I got back into town last night and I was still in ketosis according to my ketostix, however my hunger is not as subdued as it usually is, which is from all the alcohol I am assuming. Any tricks to help get over the mind…
  • Here's a link to a really helpful tool that is really useful to plug in your own numbers to come up with your personal formula for weight loss. There's a really cool forecast graph also towards the end that is so fun! http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com
  • Hi everyone. Me too. I'm always down to add some LCHF/Keto friends, it's kind of an unspoken prereq for me, I like the idea of all of us being of like-mind when it comes to nutrition and weight loss. Feel free to send me a friend request! :)
  • I have been drinking a TON of hot tea lately! So glad to have found this thread! I am not a fan of super fruity teas, but I do enjoy lemon and ginger teas on occasion. I typically like drinking black teas and rooibus teas. Lately I have been exploring some chocolate varieties. I bought a chocolate mate from World Market,…
  • Yikes! That almost scares the fat right back ON me! :) I don't think I would be able to fit into anything if I ate low fat/high carb… I would be completely insatiable!
  • Yes! My "office" job is actually at a weight loss and wellness clinic, and we teach a low carb lifestyle to ALL our patients that come through the door. It really is refreshing to be able to work in an environment where the MD and the staff all align with similar views on health and nutrition. Although our clinic is among…
