How many calories are you guys eating for the day?

Those numbers for my Mom really did help shut him up. He's being better now and more supportive. We went to Red Lobster for lunch and he finally seemed to get i cannot eat the biscuits.

Today my Mom had her endocrinologist appointment. She's been doing this WOE for about 1 month. Her last A1c was 8.4 and today it was 6.1!!!! Can you believe that!?!?!?!

Their grass fed beef is too notch, due to the mass of bacon in ingest these days I have resorted to Costco and their giant pack of pre cooked bacon. So easy and quick.

Hammer makes good stuff. That reminded me they make Endurolytes. I need to pickup some of those.

I can fit in my old coat again

That is positively frightening. My father has Alzheimer's Disease and he is a Type 2 Diabetic.

I do this with my nuwave oven at home.

Thanks you guys :-) My mom has had me super worried lately b/c she cares for my father who has Alzheimer's Disease. It's very taxing on her, and the rest of us too, but she's in direct contact with him all the time. I think the depression of dealing with him and watching him decline had thrown her into a bad place. That's…

Indiana here. LCHF for about 3 weeks now.

My Crossfit workouts aren't easy but they are about to get even harder Bc I just finished the 'ramp up' program so I can enter regular cross fit classes. I'm sore after every workout so I'm sure I'm using muscles I don't typically use. Maybe that fact is causing me to hold on to the water more. Why do we hold more water…

He seems to be finally coming around a bit. He must have noticed me shooting daggers at him because he's now adopted the "if it works for you" attitude. He does still keep pointing out all these other diet success stories which is annoying. I mean if they had worked I would have stuck with it. Anyways. I may get some of…

I was wondering the same thing. I can go a lot longer than I could before without getting hangry. That's a big improvement.

Be there Shadow

Shadow I really feel you on this one. Geez it is so hard sometimes. Like a lot of you I'm still having a hard time 'realizing' when I'm not hungry? Sometimes I wonder if this is just a defective mechanism in some of us bingers. God forbid anyone TELL me to quit b/c then I'm gonna eat no matter what. I dunno why, but that…

Bison burger steak, s/f deviled eggs and broccoli with butter:

There's always Colace too if need be.

Restasis takes several months to work. Xiidra is super expensive too and it can be VERY uncomfortable to instill. Some of my colleagues said it was just plain painful. There's been success with low doses of doxycycline (typically 100 mg each day). It inhibits chemical mediators that cause dry eye and Sjogrens .

My uterus got voted off the island but I still have both overies. I just mentioned my insatiable hunger at times and someone pointed out it could still be pms and I did used to be ravenous before. Just my two cents is all

I have noticed a marked improvement in my ADHD symptoms since starting this WOE.

Nordic natural ultimate omega 3 Fatty Acid will also help for the long term.

Phrick that's a good point, since I had my hysterectomy I still have 'waves' of hunger too? Maybe that's all this is? Weird. It is seeming to last through today as well :# I ate a fat bomb w/peanut butter and cream cheese. Soooo devine. I've been outside for several hours today cleaning my car and it's not hot but warm,…

Well glad to know you guys have experienced this too. My carbs were only 26 for the day. I've been shooting for a max of 40. I'm planning a bike ride tomorrow so hopefully that will offset some of it. I will try not to stress over it B) , thanks everyone.

lodro thanks for that information. I have never heard of MCT oil until now. I'm still playing around with calories and all, not sure if I'm overdoing calories on some days or not. It's still early so I suppose I'll have to play around with it. Today I was starving but I suspect it's b/c I'm not recovering well as my quads…

I can assume by your LiteSpeed insignia that you are a cyclist? Me too and this LCHF WOE is proving difficult on my long rides? What do you use in place of sports drinks?

:D 6th grade boy sense of humor here :D

Where are you all finding the info on how much protein and fat? I'd like to adjust my nutrition goals.

189 at start on 9/3/16 now 185. GW is 165

Awesome, I have done a couple of rides, the first was the hardest. Second one wasn't as bad but I made some bone broth to drink after. That helped a lot I think. I'm also doing cross fit right now. I guess I will expect that to be a bit harder than usual too. I feel pretty good today actually. So maybe I'm already…

Refresh Optive Preservative Free works very well.
