You are doing so well. Keep up the good work.

Is it too late to join this group? I have gained back a few and my doctor is wants to see the blood pressure down a bit...so here we go Weight: Nov 10, 153.2 Nov 11, 152.3 I am losing most of this doing low carb/high protein, and then maintaining on Mediterranean. Accountability is the answer for me.

The reason I do low carb, is because I can eat if I am hungry. I have tried almost every diet out there and just cant last long if I cant eat when I am hungry.

I am just low carbing and have lost 30 lbs this year. I use this program with a couple of others. I am motivated with charts and such.

I am looking for new friends. Anyone can add me.

Much luck to you. I am just returning today to finish this journey up.

I will be at the end of my 2 weeks on Sunday. I have lost 8 lbs so far. It is coming off slower for me due to my age I think but still, its coming off. Im thrilled to be seeing lower numbers. The first few days are hard, no doubt about it. Hang in there and it will be worth it.

I drink water. At least 64 oz a day. My loss slows down as soon as I add anything with sugar alcohols in it.

Thanks for your reply. I always do much better on the old Atkins

Greetings, I just looked through your food diary, and I know its hard to post everything, but there are some days you just have a breakfast. I myself and having a hard time getting enough calories and I am eating bacon. But I saw cookies and things that shot you up over 100 carbs and at least for me there is no way I would…

Hi, The only thing I ever measure is my veggies or something I know has a few carbs. If I am hungry, I eat. I keep things around for snacks like deviled eggs, tuna fish that is made up with mayo, etc. There are lots of sites that can suggest allowable snacks...there is no reason to go hungry. Water is always good. Cheese…

Greetings, Today begins my second week (this time around), and last week I lost 3.9 lbs Yayyy.

Over the years and my time on LC, when I have stalled it was due to not enough fat, not enough water and just not enough eating. I would say up your fat and water and check again for hidden sugars.

Greetings, I am new here today, but not new at all to low carb. I would be glad to help if help is still needed.

New to the group. I am in Oregon City, Vegan and trying to get healthy and in shape.

Im here too and re committing to posting so there will be a lot more of me.

I used to do this too. But why not if you are going to binge...binge out on exercise? We always think of food first for rewards and such.

I think I am going to have to toss in my 2 cents worth on this one. I think it is much more important to eat foods with fiber and low sugar for my calories than to just eat a calorie. So you can have a bowl of corn flakes, or you can have a fruit slushy that would have fiber in it..or add a piece of whole wheat toast with…

Thanks so much for this input. I have relayed it to her and now to see if we can get on top of this

Yes she is steadily gaining even though she has been staying very close to her goal. This is what has her so very frustrated. She cant exercise due to extreme pain due to her weight.

She has talked to her doctor and all she was told is to eat under 1500 calories. I have been trying to help her but I feel like if the meds are making her gain then she is going to have to eat less calories.

Please...can anyone answer this?

Bump

I got a copy of The Engine 2 Diet about 2 months ago and from the moment I finished it I knew that was for me. There are a few things I still have to give up but I would say I am 95% on board with this way of eating. Without "dieting" I have lost 8 lbs just by switching to this way of eating, and all of my blood tests and…

Yep...we have evolved right into very over weight obese humans. Our bodys are NOT dealing well with all the grains, fats , sugars that were here years ago...even 100 years ago. Our grandparents had to actually squeeze an orange for orange juice...

There is "losing weight" and there is getting healthy...If you simply want to lose weight...drink it. On the other hand if you are striving to get healthy, dont. The artificial sweeteners are not healthy for you. All you have to do is google them.

There are things I am sure of. 1. I dont want to go back to sugar 2. I dont want to go back to white flour 3. I dont want to go back to prepared foods. I do want to eat healthy...this means more veggies, some fruits home made meals. I am going to be juicing again. I am going to be buying what I need tonight...so I will…

I took a look at your diary. I dont see any veggies. I see sauces, and sugars and salts. While Subway might be healthy, (there is a lot of bread there) as a Paleo follower, I wouldnt eat there, but if I wasnt, I would limit it to one or two times a month.

Perfectly normal

I started my Paleo journey on Saturday the 4th. I am as of today down 10 lbs. The first week was hard...but now I am feeling really great. I got both the Paleo Diet book and the cookbook. I will probably get a few more for variety. Basically any low carb book will work if using the right oils etc.
