I accidentally do it at the weekend because I sleep in! All it will do is reduce your appetite after the first week and give you a longer fasting period. If you are still eating rubbish during the 8hr window then it's not going to do anything. People who struggle with calorie control tend to have better results with it…

Welcome back to carnivorous keto! The fage total yoghurt isn't too bad for carbs, I think America has some funky carbmaster yoghurt though which I can dream about. Hope it works out for you.

I've got a fibit zip and got one because my main form of exercise is walking. For that the fitbit is perfect, it tracks your steps, translates that into mileage and works out your calorie burn for the day. I've set mine up so I get reminders to walk more, and it syncs with mfp to make my calorie intake more in-line with…

Raspberry ketones=/ the ketogenic diet which is what I described in my earlier post. I agree with you on their complete lack of function, and about pb. Always stalls my weight loss for some reason.

Nowhere near enough fat to be considered a ketogenic diet, unless you are aiming to do Dukan which will make you tired/grumpy and eventually plateau. It took me 10 days to lose anything first time round, you have to be strict until you can be sure you are in ketosis. Reccomended ratios are 5% carbs, 35% protein, 60% fat,…

I use it to make sure I keep moving, at the moment I've been doing 10 000 steps a day and it's definitely helping me kick start my weightloss. I've lost 10lbs in the last 10 days since I re-started my diet properly, I would attribute that to fit bit combined with how strictly I've been tracking.

I do half and half depending on how hungry I am. My fitbit syncs with MFP at the end of the day instead of throughout so that I don't overeat calories without moving. I tend to use the fitbit adjusted MFP value as my maximum and only if I'm really hungry after drinking water that I will eat upto my fitbit maximum. Fitbit…

Oh I know it's not required, but I find I stall/ kick out of ketosis at over 25-30g so it's easier to stay under that to make sure I'm losing constantly.

I do keto- which is max 20g of carbs a day, my macros are set 60/35/5 fat/protein/carbs. Fat will keep you sated for longer than any increase in carbs, protein you don't want to overdo on a low carb diet as it can be metabolised as glucose. It's upto you really but find a balance that keeps you full and feeling good.

The fitbit works by taking your completely sedentary BMR and gradually increasing during the day, your cycle would have spiked your calories for the day at that point. If you remained sedentary (5000 steps is sedentary, I have to get to 8000 before I get any calories added) for the rest of the day then you would gradually…

I don't in any way avoid vegetables, I avoid fruit because most fruit apart from a few berries are basically sugar. I normally eat 4/5 portions of green veggies in a day. I have found that people assume low carb is unhealthy because they see the start of Atkins with no veg and think that is it. I have never done this diet…

I lost 4 stone ( 52lbs) and I'm still not convincingly in the lower size for trousers. I think I must have bought jeans just before I put on weight and they stretched, that or I was really fat everywhere else!

I only eat 20g carbs each day- nothing processed, no fruit, loads of green veggies. Snacks are chorizo "crisps", handful of almonds/unsalted peanuts, if I can fit it in 1 tbsp peanut butter, coconut chocolates made with 85% cocoa chocolate and shredded coconut, if I need a large snack I'll have some meat or cheese.

Hiya, I'm not diagnosed with PCOS but my mum and sister have it, and when my periods starting going haywire I went to the doctor, they told me that I don't have it but at the weight I was I would get it. Can I ask what diet you are doing? In all honesty with PCOS the best thing you can do is do a low carb diet, it will…

<20g a day, tends to be more like 10g if I have kicked myself out of ketosis and I'm trying to get back into it.

^^^ this

you should try deep fried snickers, actually don't, I doubt there is an eating plan on MFP that could accommodate that!

Try it before you knock it, and use proper grass fed butter!

I love it, I have 2 tsp of butter and 2 tsp of coconut oil in my morning coffee, blended up it's lovely and creamy. Keeps me full from 8am-2pm on 161 calories with no insulin spike.

I like them, and I tend to use them just as I'm restarting keto (low carb) so that I don't go over my carbs for the day. You have to boil the crap out of them, the tofu ones taste nicer, they don't adsorb sauce, they work best if you boil the crap out of them, then add them to stuff you are already frying and mix with…

You can add me if you like!

What meal plan are you following? If you are having issues with sugar and gluten then I'd consider a low carb/ketogenic diet which switches your body into fat burning mode by relying on fat as your primary source of energy. It might also deal with the hunger issues you are having as fat is generally more sating than carbs.

I prelog my breakfast/lunch/dinner but it's very rough and changes throughout the day depending on how hungry I am. It lets me know that if I have a snack I need to get rid of x/y/z from my dinner or I can't have it.

You can buy stevia in Sainsburys and Holland and Barrett so don't know where you are looking! It's brand name is Truvia, just don't get the baking blend as that is 50% sugar.

Wow how much did I need to read this today! You can do this.

I have a zip and it's fab. Definitely keeps me moving through the day. I don't even think about getting a lift because I want the extra steps to reach my goal. Love that it is so tiny and I can put it on my bra rather than it annoying me on my trousers.

All I do is walk, I got a fitbit so I can track my calories in/out better with MFP. I hate normal exercise and I've got hereditary bad knees so the gym was always tricky. Down 28lbs since I re-started my weight loss, 52lbs in total.

Are you low fat too or doing mod/high fat? If so cook a load of green veggies with chorizo, then add cream cheese, cover with cheese and cook in the oven. If you do 200g of 3 types of veggies it makes 6 portions of about 200 kcal and 3g carbs.

I'm on a high fat, mod protein, low carb diet (keto more specificially) because it's the only diet that stopped me being starving all the time! That being said, if I do get hungry and I'm close to my goals I tend to drink a bottle of water, if I'm still hungry I'll have a cup of hot water with a stock cube dissolved in it…
