No ice cream in my house. That stuff'll kill ya.

If it was easy, everyone would do it. I go for a ~1 hour bike ride a few days a week after work, and a long ride on weekends. Everyone has the same 24 hours in a day. I cut out all carbs from my diet. I aim for <30 net carbs/day, and those come mainly from vegetables. Check my diary.

I've been eating very low carb (<40g), moderate protein, high fat, for several months with great success. See what it's all about at www.reddit.com/r/keto

I eat great on my birthday! Steak, Caesar salad, broccoli w/ butter. I love this diet!

> Cardio, Strength, Both, The answer is both. According to studies, subjects who did both cardio and resistance training lost more fat than subjects who did either one alone. If you have to pick one, do cardio. Those subjects lost more fat than those who did strength training alone. All other things being equal, cardio…

The lowest calorie bread is no bread at all. You can eat your scrambled eggs without toast.

I don't cheat. I eat what I want as long as it fits my macros. LCHF. If I eat high carb foods, it makes me crave them. (Been there, done that, got the XXL t-shirt to prove it.) So I stick to low carb high fat. I'm under my calorie goal for most days, so If I go a little over once a week or so, I'm still in good shape.

First of all, this *is* healthy. I eat lots of vegetables. My bloodwork is excellent. I see no reason to go back to a high carb lifestyle. When I reach my target weight, I'll keep eating the same, just more. As a long distance cyclist, I don't want to give up the advantage of a ketoadapted metabolism.

sgmomma, how long is long term to you? I've been eating very low carb for 10 months now with great success.
