You need some serious mental help. Its perfectly okay to throw a tantrum towards your mother and act like a complete *kitten* but if someone calls you on it then they're the bully? Got it. Grow up. You're 22. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Your "health kick" will be short lived if you aren't going to take responsibility for…

I think the more important question here is why you didn't boil them in beer? ;)

This. I check my freezer stash and then see what's on sale at the grocery stores I frequent. From that I get an idea of what I'm making for dinners/lunches. Do you have Pinterest? I have a lot of my dinner ideas there and skim it over.

Butter, mayo, oil, cream, sour cream, and full fat dressings. One or more of those can be added to anything you're eating on a LCHF diet to increase calories without adding volume to what you're eating. Also, just wanted to add that losing 6 pounds in the first week is very common with eating LCHF. It's water weight. Don't…

What?! You eat 890 calories a day?! That's not okay. Not one bit. I love Spark. I drink that, sometimes daily, sometimes before a workout. The results are a from a calorie deficit, not from the products. I used the eating plan when I attempted to switch from low carb to help keep me on track incorporating carbs without…

Why would cutting dairy make your carbs fine? Many cheeses have a very small amount of carbs.

The whole net carbs vs total carb thing is really an issue for someone who isn't a diabetic so yes you can subtract fiber from total carbs to get net carbs. I would watch the content of sugar in greek yogurt. Just depends how much on your goals but some probably eat that on low carb. Also, don't be afraid of fat. Cook with…

You definitely do not subtract sugar from carbs for the net carbs. Net carbs is total carbs minus fiber and sugar ALCOHOLS (most foods you eat probably don't have sugar alcohols unless you eat sugar free candy or an Atkins bar as an example). For your fat, add butter to things you cook. Use full fat dressings. Sour cream,…

I have tried it in the past (just bought the bare bones) and really, its the meal plan of why you're losing weight. If you want help planning on what to eat, it might help you get in the habit, but you don't need to buy the product to get that. I DO love Spark and my husband now drinks that instead of Monsters. If I could…

OP - Stick to berries, and focus your nutrient intake on veggies. I agree with taking a look at your net carbs (as long as you don't have a medical condition). Sample breakfast - eggs with cheese and butter lunch - bunless burger with salad and full fat dressing dinner - meatloaf (made with no bread crumbs) snacks -…

Yes this. Its safe for women who are pregnant and young kids. I would try that as temporary, but talk to your doctor about the issues.

LOL But but but but it isn't "volume" technically because our palms aren't cubes ;)

And everything of whether it was a cubic function and that isn't quite right because that would mean a formula with only one variable yadda yadda yadda makes a difference in this convo? IT DOESNT. At all. The point to you posting any of it isn't to help others, its to make it about yourself. Which only adds to…

I weigh quite a bit more than you and for about a 40 minutes class I burn about 380 calories. I wear a HRM. Zumba I only burn around 275ish for around the same bit of time. ETA: I used MFP calculations for "Aerobics, step, with 6-8" step" for my weight it calculated over 700 calories for 40 minutes. That is basically…

And P.S. AREA IS LxW. So volume = l x w x h

Just stop. Again, why do you have to make every thread about you making sure to throw out all these equations and crap to make sure you can strut how smart you are? No one (but you apparently) gives a rip. For being in your 30's you have a lot of growing up to do. The OP doesn't care about the BS. She has already…

You worked out for an hour and only ate 1000 calories today? Yeah, please DO NOT encourage others to do that.

There is a low carb group called low carber daily forum. From semi low carb to keto, people with a variety of carb intake levels are in the group.

You didn't drain off olive oil. Its not Clover Leaf's fault you didn't realize how many calories would be in the 20g olive oil that you didn't drain off. One table spoon is give or take 13-14ish g. That's around 110-120 calories. Maybe you could have looked up the nutrition value of olive oil before consuming? You said:…

Just an idea, I always purchase vanilla because its a flavor you can add anything too. I keep vanilla protein powder at work in case if I forget lunch or snacks. If you want chocolate, add a little unsweetened cocoa (its small amount of calories, maybe 25 for what you put in there) and maybe a little sweetener if its too…

I guess I don't understand how this is "bad" for your body? Aside from it possibly being too low of calories for her, maybe it could use another serving or two of veggies and not sure the amount of protein in this. Is that what you're getting at? I don't see this being very "dangerous" though

9 pounds in 12 days with only 17 more to lose? I think you need to adjust your expectations. Like DemoraFairy said, you will have to keep going and be prepared for fluctuations.

I have to add, OP, if you're even still reading this thread. She's hiding the cookies because you apparently never had it in your house. You didn't teach her moderation. Its something she couldn't have in your house. You point fingers at your ex and allowing her to eat "junk" and you acting the better household because she…

So the taste and texture of fruits and veggies are all the same? Magically, no other foods taste/textures cause these triggers?

Your carbs on a low carb diet, especially keto, should be from veggies and a little from dairy and seasonings. Some are able to eat berries into their day without throwing themselves out of ketosis. Everyone is different with how sensitive they are to eating carbs, but since you just started, the white bread might be…

Why don't you go make your own post instead of making this one all about you? Your friend isn't interested. You cant force liking someone as more than a friend even if you think you two should be together.

You are capable of eating more calories. You got to a point where you wanted to lose 80 pounds. You don't get to that point eating under 1000 calories everyday. Eat a cookie. Add more oil when you cook. Put butter on your veggies. Use full fat dressing.

Chili Taco Salad (beef/ground turkey, lettuce, whatever toppings, I use sour cream and/or salsa as dressing) Bacon wrapped chicken (Ive had the best luck pre cooking the bacon a bit in a pan because I can't get it crisped by just baking) Tuna Salad Beef/Pork Roasts Salads (really there are endless combinations, maybe…

Your limit is 2080 based on the inputs you gave MFP. Your height, current weight, activity level, and pounds loss goal per week get you to 2080 calories per day. Careful going to 1200. Don't short yourself too much because you might set yourself up for a binge. Its great you're that motivated, but to keep yourself…

Oh look, another low carb question post goes off topic. Go figure. Are you saying those are the only foods you like which fit into eating low carb? Beef? Pork? Bacon? Cheese? Veggies? Butter? Bacon? Sour cream? What were you eating before eating low carb? If you don't like a lot of meat, dairy, or fat sources, low carb…
