Look for recipes that use almond flour in place of regular flour. It's been a lifesaver for me!
-
I love bread too, but I had to work on some alternatives once I started going low-carb. I am learning to use almond flour in my cooking. Here's something I just tried this weekend and I'm already making it again tonight! Almond flour "cornbread" with green onions. Sounded odd, but trust me it's awesome, fast, and if I can…

Over the past year I have learned two things that (for me) break a plateau quickly; exercise and intermittent fasting. For exercise I would do two or three days with VERY intense workouts and then go back to something that was only slightly more intense than what I was doing on the plateau. As far as intermittent fasting…

Can you tell me more about the supplements needed? I'm on my first week of keto and I don't want to be missing anything essential. I'm getting almost all of my carbs from veggies and nuts, but is there something else I need to do to go about this the healthy way?
-
Thank you for the warning! Thankfully I have done the low-carb thing long-term before and I am familiar with what I have now learned is called the "keto headache." I am one of the lucky few that only feels crappy for the first couple of days, then I feel marvelous! I promise that I will work to keep things very balanced…

Thank you! As a nurse working in the hospital, I can assure you I do not have an over-inflated regard when it comes to the doctor's advice!
-
Thanks for the advice, that was very helpful! I will definitely be sampling small bites and I already have a big workout scheduled for the same day. Hopefully I'll get lucky! I know that this isn't a quick-fix diet to be used and quickly set aside. I've done the low carb approach with success (and a setback or two) in the…

Just the one meal. I have to do this wedding tasting and probably another in a week or two, but those are the only times I can't avoid carbs. Edit: Sorry, forgot to quote MissMollieD.

I guess there aren't any keto fans around... :(

Thanks guys!

You can personalize your goals in detail under settings. Very helpful.

Bump! I asked this the other week and got very limited responses.
-
I'm on the east coast of the US, but I work as a night shift nurse, so I'm awake when everyone else is asleep. That always throws a wrinkle into my dieting!
-
You know, I bet if this was a thread about whether or not to eat exercise calories back I would have tons of replies by now...
-
The general opinion is that you cannot target areas to burn fat, which I personally find to be very sad news for my thighs. I have also read that the first place you gain fat is the last place that you lose it. So my advice is to keep at it and eventually you'll see results. I was having the same problem for ages, and now…

HA! I knew someone would catch me on the cherries! Today was hard because I have to eat all of my food in a 5 or 6 hour period. Cherries are something I can snack on all night at work without killing my stomach or turning to snickers or something. Usually I eat a cup and a half or maybe 2, but I really needed to meet my…

No help? Please?

So sorry guys, I had it set on friends only but now it's fixed. Brain fart!

The edge of glory as sung by Lady Gaga on Howard Stern. It was amazing!

Oh my god, I have to eat 1580 now?!? How on earth am I going to do that?!?!
-
Thanks! I'm at a standstill now, so something has to change!

I always hated running more than anything and have a bad knee to boot. I started the C25K program and now I love running! I run outside on a trail so there are always people with dogs and such to look at, plus I listen to music. When I started I had the same problems you do with the shin pain and breathing, so I did some…

Get ready to be addicted. I've always HATED running, even when I was young and in great shape. I'm in week 3 right now and I just bought running clothes. I think I'm in for many many years to come! Good luck to everyone starting, you can do it!

Oh lord, I'm so obsessed with popcorn!! On a free day I will literally eat two bags. I need to get some of that olive oil spritzer an make my own so it's not always a cheat.

Bump!! I like to do grilled cherry tomatoes, basil and reduced fat feta. Tastes naughty but it's not!!

I sweat like crazy when I work out. I'm covered in sweat after about 10 minutes of cardio. Meanwhile, my boyfriend NEVER sweats so I feel twice as disgusting. As an added bonus, I turn the worst shade of red ever. It looks like I'm about to have a stroke. Regardless, now that I'm feeling better about my body I get kind of…

Bump. Thank you!!
