  • Love this !
  • Add me ladies, same age and I have about 8kgs to lose. Low carber, done Dukan and now trying to find a longterm balance whilst losing. I also have an instagram account x
  • Hey to the ladies following the Dukan already, here is the group we had where you might get a good few tips. Its quiet on there now but some great info. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1487-dukan-diet Breath was fine with good regular oral hygiene and lots of water . Besides, the attack is only for 2 to 7 days…
  • Thats amazing! Will try and add you both :)
  • I no longer follow Dukan but would be happy to help you, will send you a request now ;)
  • Kudos to you pkw58!!! I know as we are friends ....you do tremendously well on Dukan and many can learn from your consistency and obvious success. In the end, I couldn't maintain the rules for cruise BUT there are principles I learnt from Dukan that I will never forget or let go of. Now, I much prefer just applying a…
  • Low carb and Intermittent Fasting (fast 16 hours, eat 8 hours)...that's what I am doing right now. Keep your good fats up too :)
  • Also PCOS so nice that we are here to support each other. No longer strictly Keto but LCHF <50 carbs until I manage to get the hang of my metformin doses. (I had dizziness last few weeks previous on below 30 carbs).
  • A slice of homemade keto pizza or some salmon, avocado and prawn rolls.....totally yummy !
  • Hotsungirl - I read up a lot on Keto before trying the diet and seemed that even though there isn't really a 'one size fits all' to trigger ketosis, I found most people to be below 20-25 grams as a daily guideline. After weeks of trying, I found myself bored of pondering ketosis and over thinking the detail. I now have up…
  • Yes do that and carry on as before cheat period, all will be fine. 50grams is also my magic number ;)
  • Wow, I see what you mean...huge differences even for raw produce! I made a comparison of the two items and even crossed checked physically via the Sainbury's website. It seems that the MFP generic listings for raw produce are all sourced from the USDA (US Department of Agriculture) and differ greatly from our UK sources.…
  • HaggisWhisperer - what you are doing seems to be working well for you so don't start to get bogged down by the numbers if your general macros are good :smile: I prefer cooking from scratch and using whole foods (where possible) ....its the only way you can really get a closer count. Other than that, I think the 'net carb'…
  • Well done on your weight loss so far...that's a tremendous and encouraging loss. I was on Keto (and previously Dukan) last year but missed my fruits especially berries that are so good for you. Now I am low carb moderate fat and high protein as my own adaptation to see if this will work. I bought a Nutribullet and found…
  • Great post ! I currently aim for 50 carbs TOTAL daily including any vegetables & nuts etc. Therefore, if I go over on the odd day then I don't beat myself up about it knowing that my actual net figure is usually much lower. I too would eventually like to go back to Keto but I became far too worried about the science and…
  • South East London and back after a setback period. Mostly low(ish) carb, travel a lot & still resisting the cocktails ;)
  • I just googled Shakeology to see what the fuss was all about and this thread came up.....truly hilarious !!! (1 year on haha )
  • ^^ This is interesting to read, I perhaps may have had the same problem.
  • Love that dress ! Congrats to your son......wow that sounds really interesting , we don't really have anything like that in the UK :) x
  • I lost inches, scale figures were abysmal ;)
  • yum......having this when I get back to my kitchen :)
  • Crussh canary wharf are amazing....soups, chillies, salads and cous cous/quorn based tasty dishes. I personally am not turned on my supermarket pre-packaged chilled lunch options. Freshly made far more satisfying when it comes to taste. Oh and crussh list their calorie info as well as chilli/soups of the day @ your local…
  • Mussels ? Really? Totally surprised, a natural protein source I would have guessed and completely carb free. Were they dressed in any sauce or similar?
  • Had my last (of 4 ) naughty bars last night.....loved every last morsel of it. Without the red wine, I felt slightly less guilty and actually the cravings have subsided somewhat. With me , it's always the 'pre' and maybe day 1 ....rest of the time I am fine. Will let you know how the rest of the symptoms to toward the…
  • Just watched the movie.....wow, moving stuff. Meryl is perhaps one of my favourite actresses, I couldn't help but cry ........won't say much more to give everyone a chance to see it
  • Yep , a soy latte the other day. And I don't even know why when an americano with heavy cream would have been just As satisfying :(
  • Thank you ladies, we are all in this together .....literally :) @bansheecat , thank you for the tips....nut butters, great idea! @RockLobster , you have achieved such an amazing weight loss and your strength is surely paying off. New to Keto but not new to low carb diets. I tried Dukan twice over the past 2 years to shift…
  • Good tip....... I knew they were bad bad bad, just didn't understand the science side of it! I live in the UK and can't get quest bars so easily but will make an order when I am home as a back up and actually good for my multiple long haul flights I take every month. Thank you :)
  • Hahaha hilarious, at least it's not just me and I know what TSA Stateside can be like.......scary to say the least. Oh icecream, that 'c' word again...argh I wish I was hone to wizz myself up a Keto adapted batch. Thanks for your input, I hope my body savvies up pretty soon to what I need and not what it thinks it wants xx
  • That's me told! ;)
