Hard boiled eggs are super easy to grab and go if you are in a hurry. Egg salad can be made to taste slightly different each time depending on what you season it with. I just fried up a pound of ground turkey breast that I will use for lunches in many different ways, tacos made with lettuce wraps, Asian style lettuce wraps…

You crazy programer you!

It IS possible to stay around 1300 calories on LCHF, my calorie target for the day is 1360, if I don't work out, I rarely ever eat that much. If I do workout I eat back about 100 of the calories MFP says I burned...except for last night, last night I ate all of the foods. The benefit of going LCHF is that the food you eat…

I believe a lot of people here do both keto and IF. I do 16:8 and try for <20g carbs daily.

Whoa! Short changed, not cool!

Yes, it's very very sad. I saw a photo of a friend's son in his second grade class....at least half of them were overweight. I was shocked. It takes work to feed your child healthy foods and make smarter choices. Also harder to get them to exercise with the phones and tablets and video games. It's hard enough to do it even…

Thank you all for this thread! I was feeling a bit like LunaKate and the guilt over having half a low carb flat bread to wrap my meat and spinach in for lunch. Getting caught up too much with "lowest must be best" in regards to me to has been making me feel....anxious. I will still shoot for 20net or less but nice to have…

So glad I was not drinking anything when I saw that!!!

Do you need another transplant?

I do 1360 a day, and 5 days a week in the gym. Nothing seems to be working.

I say the pred is a double edged sword, it works well at what it does, in my case it keeps my lungs from acting up too badly, but it is also a vile substance which wreaks havoc on the rest of your body. I have been on it for three years straight. I am going to talk to my Dr about lowering the dosage.

In the end, no one forces anyone to pick up the box of sugar cereal and put it in the cart. Do they make it look pretty, taste good, easy to see in it's prime middle shelf location? Yes. But no one forces you to buy it. There are eggs right down the aisle to the left, and they are cheaper.

Oh...I will say that visually I am getting smaller. I, of course, only measured my waist, which has lost two inches, but I seem to be losing from odd places like my rib cage and lower thighs and arms.

I am 211, 5'10" set at sedentary as I have a desk job. I work out 1 to 1 and a half hours a day 4-5 days a week, cardio and lifting. I weigh my food. I try and stay under 20g carbs per day total, but sometimes go as high as 30g total 20g net. I am also on steroids (prednisone) and a host of other meds, and am coming from a…

Hi! I need to have a double lung transplant. It probably won't happen for awhile, and I need to lose 15 pounds before they will list me.

I had mine done a year and a half ago. It measured me a 1768. I have no idea what to do with that number, since I don't seem to be losing on 1360.

What an amazing difference in your face! Which was adorable to begin with, now you are just killing me! B)

A bag of beans and a bag of brown rice make a complete protein that is quite filling...it will also last several days...it is also under $5. Money is not always an excuse. Sometimes it is not necessarily a lack of money, but lack of knowledge...

After not even being able to do 5 minutes on the elliptical three months ago, I am now up to 30! And was able to increase the weight on three different sets of weightlifting :smiley:

Chubby, tattooed and a Mom, but mine is 24 (that makes me a little nauseous when I say that)....can I play too?

I have posted a couple times in the general forums about exercise, never had anyone say I couldn't/shouldn't/didn't even when I stated that I am keto. They were actually quite helpful, except for one, and he's one that's known to be a ....not nice person.

If you do try it...whatever you do, rinse it well before you cook it or....ick.

I had one dream the first week about being in a literal tidal wave of sugar cookies, and just stuffing my face with them. It was more funny than terrifying. But then again I occasionally have a dream about smoking a cigarette which boggles my mind and totally wrecks my night because I need a double lung transplant. So…

Oh you've SO got this!!!!! B)

Finally I saw one I couldn't deny! I have my blood drawn often...at least once a month. I was always embarrassed by how far into the arm flab that damn tourniquet would cut...and it always hurt so bad. Today....barely any cut in and it didn't hurt nearly as bad!!!

Heart palpitations are nothing to mess with. Low potassium can cause them, but so can a host of other things that need checked out. Please get checked if they don't stop soon.

I lift and have not had any issues past the first couple of weeks. My work outs are not intense by most people's standards but for me they are. I don't know if that's why I haven't had any issues lifting while in keto.

Eh...I didn't order it. Was going to be cheesecake, and it would not have even put me over 40g for the day. It just didn't seem worth it. I have been doing keto for a couple months at least, but the thought of wanting it all the time again was not pleasant.

What would a "cheat item" do, do you think? Not a whole meal or whole day...but one item, like a dessert? (Sorry, am wicked stressed and pmsing and staring at a dessert menu as I type this, I am away from home at a hotel with none of my go to snack items)
