This truly is good news. Hope this spreads throughout Great Lakes Basin!

I could use some help in the higher fat - enough protein while aiming for low carbs to reduce my flesh to 4oz week. That low carb thing is making creating challenge for me, as I really enjoy beans the way many can do chicken 365 kinds of ways!

I think of Jane Fonda, Michele Obama, Barbara Kingsolver, Cher, Rita Moreno, Wendy Whelan, Gloria Steinem, Jane Goodall, Emmylou Harris...or am I dating myself?

I began IF about 2 wks ago. I have guests this week so I have had to adjust my plan down from 20:4 Mo-Th, 18:6 Fr-Su to fit better with the group. Still it looks like I will be down about 1pound. My key is eat lower carbs & higher fats.

I am lower carb/higher fat + IF. I am typically an omnivore. My youngest has quickly gone from vegetarian to vegan. She is challenging me to do same. Although I am not luddite when it comes to food combining to get protein etc, (ex. legumes+grains), but keto kinds goes against the grains :( so I need to stalk other keto…

Always drink water. Supplement with mineral salt to meet minimums. Eat something green.

Pippin, rescue GSD, and I have returned to Fitbit tracking and updating MFP exercise diary.

Rescue GSD

I have HIIT goal of 30min daily 6x wk, which is same as June avg. I'm going back to Fitbit to track my efficacy. I have water hydration goal of 10gl/daily + 1/2tsp mineral salt/daily . ( an avg improvement ~1gl/daily) I have IF goal to cease eating M-Th at 5p/20-25g net carbs (this is an hour earlier, but same new net carb…

I just finished my first week of IF. My aim (adjusted as necessary): M-T 20:4/netcarbs=20-25g; Fri 18:6 net carbs same (allows me to eat dinner w husband); Sat-Sun 16:8 net carbs=30-40g (allows me to be in more synch w family).

The EatWell article is typical standard healthy food talk. It's right about sugars. It's right that carbs include vegetables etc. It's a bit shallow with low-glycemic eating. It mindlessly falls into track 30% complex carbs. It ignores current studies about benefits of fats. It is information what I would expect to find in…

Update: I rarely have those creaky morning joints. Although I am not always drinking tea in the evening, I have committed myself to drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water daily +/- 2 glasses. HYDRATION! I am 4 yrs older and feeling more nimble. Haven't had a RA flareup in ~ 3y, although chronic water retention is an…

Here is what I do in my home. #1 I do not tell anyone I am dieting. I even prefer to exercise when everyone is out of the house. The less I bring attention to my effort, the less resistance, doubt, questions I get. It works better if they notice when I am "suddenly" down 20 lbs! #2 This is a new trick, intermittent…

I am wrapping up my first week IF: 20:4 weekdays & 16:8 weekends (more family compatible). Upside: Since I was a breakfast skipper taking the milk out of my coffee was minor change for 16:8. Downside: Found it difficult to eat enough kcal in 4 hr window and the effects hit me on day4, so I reverted to 16:8 to recharge.…

@dulcitonia 16:8 was a seamless fit as soon as I took the milk out of coffee. Did aim for 20:4--ran into issue today/Day4, so reverted to 16:8. Aiming for 20:4 tomorrow.

Sometimes I really enjoy a slow bowl of oatmeal (no sugar, no milk, just cinnamon). Doing keto has made this challenging, since it represents about half my daily carbs. So I halved my serving and plan my daily carbs, on days I have oatmeal Make ~1/2 c (carbs-15g/fiber-4g/fat-5g/protein 4g + so many more micro nutrients)…

that fat I was trimming off my steak for my dog--I want it!

I am very thankful to posters. Even if I don't agree 100%, I often find something that is worthwhile. For example, in a discussion about low-carbs someone posted a link to the Schwarbein Principle. Dr Schwarbein is not low-carb ( I think her ideal macros are 60-35-35). Still, being an endocrinologist, I wanted to listen to…

I'm doing keto with IF. I am also doing HIIT. I have 56lbs to go. If this sounds compatible to your journey--add me.

more low-carb and high-fat MFP found under other headings, such as: paleo, LCHF, and more.

I've been doing low-glycemic, then adjusted net carbs down under 50g and fat up. Lost a few more pounds. My aim is to try for ketosis, so earlier this week I adjusted net carbs down to 25g and fat further up (protein holding steady at 60g +/-10) while incorporating IF (intermittent fasting) and 1/4tsp of high quality…

cooked and mashed beets hide in chocolate very well too!

I will see. The physiology of a liver's limited capacity to store glycogen as part of understanding the metabolic process seems to be key to IF.

About 2 yrs ago I aimed to lose ~60lbs. I shed 14lbs then got stuck. Eating to TDEE and upping the workouts were popular recommendations at the time. I tried them and gained weight. I went back to what I had been doing but those new pounds would not go. I gave up. I'm back, as of February and lost 10lbs in about 3 months…

I drink 1-1.5 liters daily and just found out I should be supplementing with a high quality mineral-rich salt (eg. celtic sea, himalayan). 3000-5000mg should be my intake because I am low carbs. I did a quick MFP report on sodium for 30days and saw I barely got over 500mg daily. I have a fairly whole foods-no processed…
