What an uplifting comment. The benefit of this website is the community; since being on MFP I have lost 54 lbs in 3 months, and to a large extent it's thanks to the motivational words being written by the people I am connected to - and I am connected to them because we all have a common goal. The more you get into MFP and…

I use mine (EvoPro protein shake) as an alternative to milk on cereal. Completely yummy!

Hi, I have been on a very low carb diet for 3 months and have lost 50 lbs (and have never felt better). I have no more than 40g of carbs per day. Excuse the long response but here are the foods I swear by; · mushrooms (nice and filling, lots of volume, they go with almost anything) · eggs (I wasn’t a big egg eater before…

Hi. Exactly the same happened to me, I plateaued after a few weeks. So I switched to a very low carb diet / ketogenic diet and I have now lost 53 lbs in 3 months, so I broke through the barrier (thank goodness). Invite me to be a friend if you want more help and if a low carb diet is of interest to you (it doesn't suit…

The answer is yes. I have proved it time and time. It's not just about the calories, it's when you eat them. If I front-load my food into the earlier part of the day I lose more weight the next day. If however I have a heavy meal later in the day, the next morning the weight won't have budged. It's a key part of my diet,…

I have been on a low carb diet for 3 months and have lost 50 lbs. My daily calories are 1200 and I have found that to be optimum for weight loss. I haven't needed any more than 1200 either for nutrition or for hunger.

I adopted a very low carb diet and I have lost 50 lbs in 3 months without much exercise. I am busy, so exercise alone wasn't doing it for me, whereas with a low carb diet the pounds have fallen off. I do exercise, but I don't rely on it for weight loss.

I am on a very low carb diet. Some Stevias have carbs (1g per packet), some have no carbs. Choose your stevia brand carefully.

I reached a plateau after around 20 lbs of weight loss, so I went for a low carb diet and it transformed me. I have now lost a further 30 lbs in around 2 months, thanks simply to removing most carbs from my diet.

I have lost exactly 50 lbs in 3 months by adopting a low carb diet. Send me a friend request, and I can share some of my tips with you. I would love to help you (we are all in this together).

I am on a very low carb diet and the biggest drawback is loss of muscle strength. For me, I could fix it by upping my carbs but in the absence of those I have protein shakes which help. Terry

I have been doing low carb for 3 months and have lost 50 lbs. Send me a friend invite and I can share some of my tips (and I have plenty!) Terry

You rock! And look great too. I am in the same situation and my relatives cannot believe how much better I look. Friend me if you want to share stories!

I am in exactly the same position. I have lost 50 lbs and I want to start slowing down the rate of weight loss. So I am seeing a nutritionalist next week to start reintroducing some foods and to ensure I do so without adding the weight back on. Send me a friend invite and I can share what I find out. Terry

I have lost 50 lbs in 3 months, and I have shared my story with lots of people, whether they are on MFP or colleagues etc. I took the time to write all my experiences down, partly because I didn't want to have to manually tell everyone and also as a motivator for myself (it's great to log and track everything because it…

Simply incredible. I have lost 50 lbs in 3 months but I am dwarfed by your achievement. What it shows is that you need a long term attitude, I can see in your pic that you took 6 years. People who think that weight loss is instant, or that exercise and diet are only needed "to get the weight off", are wrong. I am sure you…

I definitely use soda drinks, and I have lost 50 lbs. In the early stages of my diet I used club soda / fizzy water extensively, partly instead of having a beer and partly to fill me up. Now I drink a product called Sparkling Ice (available in US and Canada) because it's refreshing yet doesn't contain aspartame (it's cal…

My hunger was almost completely eliminated by removing carbs from my diet (and I lost 50 lbs!) It's a widely know thing that carbs convert to glucose which raise blood sugar which causes a crash later which causes hunger and so the circle goes on. It's called the blood sugar rollercoaster. I now feed myself on proteins and…

The advantage of Stevia is that it is apparently more natural than most of the sweeteners (no aspartame or sucralose). I use it, but it's not as pleasant as Splenda (it has more of a saccharin taste). However the biggest benefit is that I am on a low carb diet and the particular Stevia that I buy is CARB FREE! (Note: some…

I started on MFP 70 days ago and I have lost 48 lbs, which is an average of 0.7 lbs per day. The only way I could achieve that was by adopting a ketogenic / low carb diet.

With me, when I exercise it makes me far more hungry afterwards (I have tracked this fairly accurately). The other day I did 1000 calories of exercising but I was far more hungry the next day. I just thought I would point that out.

I had the same problem so I found a low carb high protein shake called EvoPro. For a blender full of this, it's 52g of protein but only 4g of carbs. I am now getting my protein level way up there where it needs to be, with weight loss too, and no side effects so far. It's pretty tasty too.

I have lost 47 lbs in less than 3 months, and two things motivated me; 1) I treated this website and app (MFP) as a game. It became a daily obsession and challenge to hit my goals, and I was honest with myself and the app at all times. As each day went by, the graphs and charts became a sport that I wanted to win at. I set…

I am a low carb guy, I have lost 47 lbs in less than 3 months. Feel free to ping me and/or make me a friend, I have learned a lot and would be pleased to share it and help you.

In June I had agonizingly painful meralgia in my leg (trapped / pinched nerve due to excess weight around the middle). I immediately decided to get the weight off, and less than 3 months later I am 47 lbs lighter. I am not going back to that pain. I was supposed to play golf this weekend with a friend who is also…

I am on a low carb diet and for a few weeks I have been enjoying protein shakes, and I found one called EvoPro that is very low carb. While I have to admit that a protein shake is NOT milk of any sort, it didn't stop MuscleMlik calling theirs Milk (until they were forced to drop the i so that it is now MuscleMlk because it…

Hi. I am 47 years old, and have struggled to get the weight off for years. However I did one simple thing and I have now lost 46 lbs since the end of June! I removed carbs from my diet. It has been a revelation for me, because I eat many wonderful things including meat, cheese, vegetables (OK, veg have some carbs, but…

Hi, I have been in ketosis for 8 weeks and have lost 36 lbs (and the weight is still falling off). I have written a document detailing my experiences.
