How many vegetables does it take to knock you out of ketosis? I want to experiment, but wondered if maybe someone knew already. Congrats on the willpower! I have a cookout to go to today, but they know I'm doing low carb...so it should be fine. I believe we're having steaks and salads. I imagine there will be potatoes…

This sounds like a Vitamin C deficiency. A lot of times, supplements don't give you viable quantities of the Vitamin...your body doesn't know what to do with it. I would suggest adding lemon juice to some of your foods, and make sure that you're eating good quality leafy greens.

The acid reflux is getting better! I noticed a flair up after eating pork rinds the other day, so I've cut those out, and haven't really had any more issues. I'm full aware of the "powers that be" pushing meds that are hurting us, I'm always speaking out about it, but have a hard time finding anyone to listen!

I loved this! Thank you!

I actually have lactose intolerance. So even though I LOVE dairy, dairy doesn't love me. LOL!

I've heard that upping your carbs for one day a week can help with a stall. I am currently relying heavily on dairy to get me through the first couple of weeks, but after that, I plan on cutting it out. I know I have a dairy issue.

What is the difference between LCHF and Keto? From my understanding, they're both low carb high fat, right? The reason I ask, is because I joined a Facebook page called Ketogenic Diet...but when I mentioned high fat, they said they didn't recommend that there, and to read their pinned post. There...they had a lot of…

How many carbs are you currently eating?

LCHF at the moment. I may tweak it before it's over with. lol

Unfortunately, I'm very familiar with ACV and acid reflux, I used to practically drink the stuff. That's why I'm a little concerned. I Googled low carb and acid reflux, and it actually seems to be curing some people. So fingers crossed that it goes away. Thank you for your response. =)

Apples contain enzymes that will aid in digestion. That's probably why you feel hungry after eating one. I used to eat them if I was REALLY full right before bedtime, because they will help you break down foods in a hurry.

I would love to be your accountability partner, if you'd be mine. I'm new at this....so I wouldn't be able to give you "professional" advice, but I can sure spur you on and share recipes! =)

It certainly wasn't for me. I've just started, but I'm hoping THIS works. I've tried eating "clean", I've counted calories, weighed and measured food, and couldn't lose weight on 1200-1500 calories a day. I was so concerned about it, I went to the doctor, and they checked my thyroid, which is a LITTLE sluggish, but still…

I just try and remember that one day, they may end up in my shoes. When that happens, maybe my example will help them then. I know I've had to eat some crow. I hated the low carb craze for years.

Never mind...I see it. Have you decided what course you're going to take now?

What did you go through?

By the way...I'm the woman in the picture. That's my hubby with me. =)

The last time I was a normal body weight for my height, I was literally eating 600 calories a day. I know that to be accurate, because I can tell you exactly what I had everyday so that I wouldn't gain weight. Breakfast: one apple 100 calories Lunch: Low cal soup and 100 calorie bag of popcorn 210 calories Dinner: can of…

From what I understand, if you're having trouble with insulin resistance which comes from a lifetime of eating sugars and carbs, that can cause you to have a difficult time losing weight. I've been struggling diligently for so long, I've had my thyroid checked, I've had check ups...I even have monthly calls from a health…

I've read that when this happens, it may help you kick start your weight loss if you carb up for a couple of days.

I was weighing and logging everything. I was pretty OCD about it.

tlflag, thank you!!!!

Elphie, I had been eating 1200-1500 calories a day and was unable to lose weight. I'm eating about the same calories on LCHF, and I've dropped weight. I must have been having issues with sugar.

I've just started low carb myself. I'm doing LCHF, and have been on it 5 days, and have already lost 6 lbs! I've lost more in one week on this diet than I could in a month before. I've been logging on a carb app, but would rather use MFP...is there a way to customize the settings? Anyway, feel free to add me!

Aren't you scared of being scared?

Juice Plus makes a delicious complete protein shake called Complete. It's vegan and gluten free...and delicious!

I'd love it! =) My stepdad was from Brooklyn...I can take it!

I'd LOVE to!!!!

Try eliminating dairy. If you're not losing weight with this diet, it's possible that something is causing inflammation. Dairy is the main culprit.

Juice Plus Complete shakes....they are amazing fuel, and they reduce oxidative stress along with uric acid levels. I have little to no soreness after a workout. I take Juice Plus Capsules every day as well...over 20 fruits and veggies (whole foods) in a capsule. Fantastic product! Used by many Olympic athletes.
