You can add a digestive enzyme supplement that contains oxbile to help with fat digestion.

I drink Perrier sparkling water - or San Pellegrino mineral water with a tsp or two of lemon juice in it, a bit of liquid stevia, and I then put 1/8 tsp of lite salt which supplies over 300mg of potassium. It really tastes refreshing and helps to get more potassium. I drink 2-3 of these a day.

I haven't seen where you can enter sugar alcohols in MFP so I make my own food item with the net carbs, if I can't find one that someone else has already created.

If you have a lean mass of 195 pounds, then 1500 calories a day is not enough, which is probably why you are hungrier.

I agree with upping the calories. I am 49 yrs old, 5'2" and I eat 1650 calories a day and am losing at that level. I don't think you are eating enough for your height and your activity level. I also have autoimmine issues (history of ulcerative colitis, which I had surgery for, arthritis, and now psoriasis). My psoriasis…

Any amount (and kind) of oral magnesium has a laxative affect on me due to previous bowel surgery. So I now make my own magnesium lotion using magnesium chloride.

Add me too. I've just started LCHF a few weeks ago and started tracking 5 days ago. I have about 90 pounds to lose and have some pain/inflammatory issues that I'm hoping this helps with also.

Mine is consistent if I step on it several times in a row.

Your TDEE factors in your exercise level. So you should not eat your exercise calories back as they are already factored in.

Amazing transformation! Good job.

I'm 47. No kids. Just getting started again. Anyone here feel free to add me. :smile:

I have tried several gluten free mixes - for cake, banana bread etc. All have turned out great, so I don't have a favorite brand. Just look in the gluten free section of your grocery store and whatever they have will probably work fine.

Since most of the foods in the database are member submitted, I find that most of the food brands that I eat, even if I think they won't be there, actually are there. I've had to enter very few of my own foods.

THIS. It's also called calorie zigzagging, which helps to increase your metabolism.

I have had chronic back pain for a number of years. What really helped for me to strengthen both my back and core (as well as the rest of my body) was pilates.

Working at your desk is not exercise. The calories you burn to sit and work are part of your basal metabolic rate. It should not be counted as exercise.

If you can't find the exact option you are looking for in the database, you would be better off piecing the meal together by ingredients - i.e. putting in your bread, then putting in the meat in your sandwich, then condiments etc.
