I'm in the UK too - feel free to friend me if you like. I track periodically and am back on the wagon after a very indulgent summer! I've just bought a copy of a book called The Real Meal Revolution which is based on LCHF and has some very delicious recipes in there if you're looking for meal inspiration. :smiley:

Well done! Be proud of yourself and keep at it :-)

Hi I'm Sue and I live in the UK. I'm 47, very happily married to a wonderful husband with 2 sons who are 20 and 18. I'm 5'3" and have lost 15.6 lbs since May 6th. My goal is to lose another 45 lbs and fit back into my size 10 (UK) clothes - actually I'm more concerned about my size rather than my weight - my goal weight is…

I've lost just over 14lbs in 5 weeks on lowish carb (averages around 60g per day). I've got another 40 odd lbs to lose.
-
That's funny - I kind of assumed that most people on this forum were doing keto and so were very low carb - but I'm glad to see there are lots of people like me who are just aiming for "lower" carbs. I probably average around 40 to 70g per day and it seems to work ok for me - lost 11lbs in my first 4 weeks - and in fact in…

I've just sent you a friend request - I'm not doing super low carb but am following the Metabolic Balance principles which is giving me around 60g of carbs or so a day. Anyone else looking for friends please feel free to add me as I'm open to new friends too - my diary is open to friends.

Great results - you an see such a difference in the photos. Really well done :smile:

Someone posted a great video on this board earlier today - think the title is "dumbed down low carb" or something - it's worth a watch and if op can persuade her family to watch it too it might help a little. Good luck x

And goodness how depressing that Atkins thread is! Hope the poster sticks to her guns and does wha makes her feel better, not what everyone else things will work for her!

Ha ha - that is brilliant!

Hello and welcome :)

SureSlim originated in Australia I think and I came across it in the UK about 6 years ago. The basic principle is that you can't burn fat whilst there is excess insulin running through your blood stream and so you eat foods that limit the release of insulin and leave a big enough gap between meals so that any insulin that…

I have scales that measure body fat too although I've heard from various different sources that they're not that reliable - especially for women and people who carry a lot of their weight in their lower half - apparently the electronic pulse (or whatever it is that measures you) runs up one leg and down the other - so it…

Timeyn you know you can go back and edit previous entries in your check in? Only if it bothers you that is. I go and delete all my previous entries each time I come back to mfp lol! But this time it's the last time I'll need to do that because this time I'm sticking with the plan and hitting that goal!!!!! :smiley:

I guess the proof will be in the pudding in the long run! Lost another couple of pounds this week but fat % stayed the same so only around half of the scale weight loss this week was fat - which is probably a more realistic representation. I think maybe last week's numbers were a slight anomaly - however inches also lost…
-
Also get your tape measure out if you're not doing so already. You will probably be losing inches if your clothes are feeling loser and actually the inch tape is a much better way of measuring yourself than the scales. If you can see that you are getting smaller then it doesn't matter what the scales are saying - there are…

I can highly recommend this recipe - I made some today with peanut butter and they are absolutely delicious. I melted the coconut oil as I wanted to get an accurate weight for future reference and so I poured the mixture into mini muffin tins lined with mini cases. And for anyone who doesn't like coconut oil you can't…

Can I just confirm - the values on MFP food diary for protein, carbs and fat are grams right - not calories. So as fat grams have more calories than protein grams it doesn't necessarily matter if the total grams of protein are over your total grams of fat provided that you calculate up the calorific values of them and then…
-
What type of scales do you have? Do they tell you your muscle percentage too? My scales are pretty ancient - maybe it's time to invest in a new set. I'd like any personal recommendation people have before I take the plunge though.

This free ebook makes very interesting reading and explodes 20 diet mthys. But it's the total opposite of what we've had pushed down our throats by government, health agencies and food and drug manufacturers for decades so you have to be prepared to be open minded and let go of everything you thought was true about the…
-
I changed my total calories figure and the carb percentage until it came out at roughly the number of carbs I want to eat per day - it's not totally exact but I set mine slightly under and I know what figure I'm aiming for daily and the online version of MFP (as opposed to the iphone app version) breaks down the…
-
Thanks. So I guess that if I scan my product labels where possible and choose UK supermarket choices for generic items then my carbs should be showing as net carbs already - I figure that's the safest thing to do rather than me taking fibre off my figures and running the risk of inadvertently eating too many carbs. I've…

I was told by the nutritionist at my gym that in order to burn off tummy fat you need to do high intensity interval training as that will actually switch on the "tummy fat burning" in your body. Normal cardio turns on the "burn fat from arms and legs" switch in your body. The trouble with high intensity interval training…

I tried these for the first time yesterday - I tried the chocolate one as per the recipe in the original post but I think I overcooked it and didn't put enough splenda in (I only have granulated not liquid) and so whilst it was ok it wasn't great. (I still ate it!) This morning I tried a version with ground almonds and…

Hello, I'm new to this forum and to MFP so forgive me if this is a totally dumb question! I HATE coffee - would this work with anything else? Thanks
