Oops, @Bansheecat had posted similar topic....sorry to inundate our forum with such 'heavy ' stuff ;)

Oh I so didn't see your post.....snap to all the above but my MFP friends are keeping me sane, interested and focused . Oh I can't wait until it's over

Lo Love this, plain and simple........feeling positive even are a stall/slow loss

I have just sent you a request, started 10 days ago with the same issue. My partner started with me just as support....he is now totally hooked. Can you believe I even tried to sabotage his success by tempting him with the promise of making his favourite pasta dish ! He has all the markers...Keto breath, leg cramps and…

Just a quick update after Day 4 : - started sep 30th, my boyfriend and I took weight and size measurements ( he actually started a day later as we had so many lovely fruits to use up ) - symptoms of tiredness, lack of concentration, obsession with Keto recipes and peeing like a woman in latter stages of pregnancy!!! -…

I thought Dukan way the way (LCLF) , until I discovered that fats were the missing link ....thank you :)

Exactly this ^^^^^^ You were inspired and you have now inspired others to take that extra step! Ultimately, life is about feeling good and embracing the health we have. Thank you for sharing, I am delighted for you xx

So it starts today everybody......back home and ready to keto transform. Oh the last 2 weeks have been so enlightening and the support and advice has been tremendous....what a cool crew you all are :) Over my recent times of travelling, I have discovered that restaurants and supermarkets are so much more keto friendly…

I start Sunday , UK based and would love to add you to share the journey ;)

Love it !

Hmm, talking about sushi, anyone gave any good low carb recipes I can make at home (aside from sashimi of course ) ? I love the presentation and interesting flavours you get from rolls :) yum

You guys are doing great and sharing your individual journeys is so valuable for us newbies about to start. Well I made it Stateside and have my little accumulated list ready of Keto things to buy which are just not available in the UK. My colleagues think I am mad.....but hey ho!

Thanks ToadQueen, heading to NYC tomorrow so will look out and bring a pack or 2 back with me :)

How did Monday go ? Here for support if you need anything....just post or pm. I am no longer following Dukan as wanted some fat back in my life so now going to start Keto which is much mire suited to me. Dukan is a great lifestyle and I will always remember how it made me understand sugar and it's consequential effects on…

Fantastic advice everyone and Mike thank you for clarifying. Although I haven't started yet, I am checking the forums daily and slowly moving mating towards lchf menu choices. Yes I agree about the fad recipes that get the attention on low carb diets, I much prefer real food where possible and one of the reasons I switched…

Thank you so much :) "2 packages Neufchatel cream cheese" will have to research this one, have no clue as not something I recognise in the UK

Where can I get these in the USA as over this weekend? I live in the UK and I can 100% say we don't have anything like this unless they are similar to pork scratchings....anyone know ? Tres excited to try these :))) http://www.butterisnotacarb.com/crispy-zucchini-fries/ .....superb blog, you have a new fan

I would love this cheesecake recipe if you could post or post a link to it. Think I will make this as a treat for my boyfriend who has kindly agreed to join me on my first 2 weeks just to keep me motivated. I think his efforts deserve a treat and I am also secretly hoping that lots of yummy food will convert him to stay on…

So great to connect with other starters and the more experienced low carvers. Very inspired by your stories so far, keep them coming and I will certainly feedback on my own story once I start in 10 days. Good luck xx

Lol Mike @ Asprey analysis Just clarify what you mean about BPC and it potentially hindering weight loss in early stages .....is that because of 'empty ' calories ? Or rather high fat content ? As I thought I was aiming for as much fat as possible ? Sorry for the Q , just want to make sure I understand everybody's input…

Thanks Mike, your advice is spot on and my gut feeling on a few of Stephanie's 'no go' items were a little dubious. I have already used the calculator and altered my settings for my month end launch date haha . It's funny how that now the numbers are fixed, my carb/sugar excesses are completely highlighted ! I love coffee…

Hey ladies, Curious to know how you are both doing. I was very successful on this diet having done 2 rounds of attack. My lifestyle changed drastically and I no longer follow the phases as it should be however I do inject the principles where possible. I do eat carbs including sugar but on days where I want to feel lighter…

Thank you thank you, I cannot wait to get ZOODLING :) Your recipe sounds yummy xx

I live in the UK, these zoodles sound ideal. Currently using shirataki but they cost a lot and not always convenient to get. Are you all preparing from scratch using zucchini or purchasing pre prepared? I would prefer fresh........any tips on methods would be great :)

Anybody still Dukaning?

Welcome back , nice to meet you :)

Absolutely agree :)

Cannot wait to try this :)

Hi we are friends but you should open your diary to 'friends' I think you o this under settings Xx

Without dairy I would not have had a successful attack phase....it actually helps many on the whole. My book says no more than 1kg per day but including all my recipes I was more about 3-400 a day. Cottage cheese....just discovered it sweet....love love love it ! Make sure it's reduced fat or fat free where possible. Don't…
