Don't

These are all great suggestions. I'm currently going through them now to see which one I like the most. ;)

Ezekiel Bread (I like it because it's low glycemic) or multi grain slice, toasted with avocado, tomato, and the cheese of your choice melted on top. MMmmmmm good lol

The weekend has been my biggest problem in the past as well. You're strong Monday thru Friday exercising and dieting right, but something happens between Saturday and Sunday where you fall off the wagon, having to press the reset button on Monday. The answer that I find that works for me is, the same way we plan our meals…

@nvmomketo Thanks for your feedback! To your point: As for putting oil in my coffee, I rather a hearty breakfast! So I will skip that, unless I know that I won't be eating enough fat that particular day As for the Keto Flu, my symptoms are very mild. and I have been making sure to get enough sodium, so that's good to know…

Thank you!!

The first phase of the Atkins is completely keto. [/quote] Thanks everyone! i will check out the 1st phase of atkins too

Thanks!!! I will check some of these out

Thanks!

OP, I think you could do a low card diet without it being Keto. The Keto diet wants you to keep your carb intake under 20 grams which in my opinion is tough to do. Now unless you have a medical reason, I don't think Keto is necessary. But I'm a beleiver that low carb diets do work and will help you reach your goals a lot…

@lemurcat12 thank you for this. I'll definitley keep this all in mind. This was very insightful. If you ever find that rant you mentioned earlier by a low carb nutrionist, I'd love to read it. Also, it's funny how you said "rice doesn't fill you up" and how oatmeal doesn't either. Reading your comments made me realize, for…

You’re right! It’s very easy to consume 3,000 a day. I don’t know if I have a gluten intolerance or celiac disease. And I’m considering even consulting with a doctor to make sure I’m dieting correctly. All I know is that I gain weight so easily and it’s frustrating

I started a few days ago and I LOVE it! Besides the fact that i'm peeing alot (which is annoying) but I didn't experience the 'Keto Flu'. I'm down 6 lbs!

I just started a low carb high fat diet and so far I reall like it. It's only been 4 days and I'm already down 6lbs. It may be just water, but I can't deny that I wasn't excited to see the scale move down. I think your doctor may be right about cutting carbs to lose weight. In my case, I've gone up and down over the years,…

Thank you for your feedback! I'm learning that now about carbs not being "essential nutrients".

Thanks for all your feedback! Another thing I wanted to add is that although my breakfast isn't "keto Friendly" It is high in fiber. And when I calculate my total daily carbs minus my fiber intake for the day, my carb count drops to the 60's in grams for all of my meals together... I guess that should count for something?

Thanks! And you're right, I dont want to make a big deal about the carbs in the yogurt because then it becomes too much. And I completely agree about not needing Keto to lose weight. I guess I should say that I'm following Keto as a guideline, but making a few adjustments so that I don't drive myself crazy.

I appreciate your feedback..Thank you!!

*not

I meant to add, that my goal on this Keto Diet is weight loss. I have about 50 lbs to lose. My Profile pic is unfortunately old, I don't look like that now :s

You're definitely right! I will try to eat smaller. But I am ridiculoulsy hungry by the time I break fast that I think I have the capacity to eat much more than I normally would. But the last two days, I've kept my first meals around 500-600 calories. I feel like when I wait to long to eat this is what happens... I guess i…

All of your comments were very helpful! Thank you! :)

I started this new thing called 'meal prep'..which isn't really new, I've seed it done and heard of it before. However it's new for me because I just started it for the first time. I cooked for the entire week and plan to eat every 2.5 - 3 hours.. Has any of you tried this and if so has it worked for you? Feel free to take…

Intermittent Fasting? Hmm Interesting. I will try this for now and if it doesn't suit me, I'll look into IF. Thank you!

Very true. Thanks for the input!

Thanks! I'll take a look at it!

Lol

Thanks!

You all had some really great suggestions. I appreciate the feedback and I'm happy to finally hear that people know what I'm talking about, lol. Ay yi yi

Thank you so much!
