Good to know...FYI, incase anyone wonders, you don't have to "refriend"

hands clapping!

Lots of good replies...I'm no expert and a newbie but I track net carbs (but I don't eat pre-packaged Atkins type foods so they are carbs from real food; I've read and it makes sense to use total carbs for your goals if you eat those types of pre-packaged stuff). If you look at my food diary you'll see most days I'm under…

It's probably too early in "the journey" to be changing alot of stuff. Give it some time, as someone said, the early weight loss is primarily water loss anyway. I lost 2# very quickly, then nothing for over a week. Today, nice decrease on the scale.

Great idea! My goals are: --lose 5 pounds by end of Jan --lose 5 additional pounds in Feb --lose remaining 10 pounds by June 1st --Bike regularly, minimum of 2 days a week --Start tucking my shirt in and wearing a belt by summer!

Been on about a week; mid 50yo female; pretty good about logging on diary--at least for now! :wink: Feel free to add

I like broccoli and Brussels sprouts roasted in the oven (also cauliflower). They become so sweet! Preheat oven to 400F; Toss chopped veggie pieces in olive oil, bacon fat or ? Coconut oil (haven't tried that one for roasting). Place on a 1/2 sheet pan or other rimmed baking sheet, lined with parchment or foil for easy…

I've used MFP for a while now and find it sometimes faster just to enter the individual ingredients than a recipe. You do have to divide the total amount of the ingredients into the number of servings and then multiply times the number of servings you ate, but... If you eat the same meal again you can copy from one day to…

Typo I think in the OP: "The ONLY "math" involved is adding protein and fat grams (from the label) dividing fat grams by the sum to arrive at what he calls the "fat burning ratio"." I believe it's adding protein and carb grams, not protein and fat.

oops hit enter...con't lunch 1 oz cheese, another coffee with butter and coconut oil Dinner: Salad of 2 C romaine, 4 oz grilled chicken breast, full fat caesar dressing, 1 cup of grilled eggplant (with Olive oil) with tomato sauce and parm cheese Snack: 1 oz roast beef wrapped around .5 oz Mt Tam cheese, 16 oz chicken…

I'm aiming for 20g carbs or less; feel free to add as friend and you can see my food journal. Here's a brief recap of approx last 2 days, where carbs were actually under 20g (see journal), I'm still dialing things in so I'm not saying these examples are any where near perfect, but for carbs...OK. Bfast: 16 oz coffee with…

I'm not a fan of water either. I fill a 16 oz glass with water (room temp) and chug it before b'fast. Refill it and chug every 1-2 hours until I've gotten at least 5 glasses down; on top of 2 cups coffee, perhaps a cup of broth, and maybe a cup of tea. I read somewhere, and it makes sense to me given the feedback loops our…

Thanks, will look for her blog and books.

Susie here...mid 50's, yo yo gain/loss 20# year after year. Was successful on LC and stumbled across the whole LCHF/keto principles so am interested. Doing some experimental days here leading up to Monday where I'll decide whether to do Atkins induction or jump right in to keto. Been on and off MFP for years; read alot,…

Bought Keto Clarity, read a little yesterday. Seems pretty well written and backs up principles with science and real life experience.

Yep, found rule.me...some good stuff there.

Thanks, haven't come across that site but will check it out.

Thanks.

Fresh tomato and cheddar cheese on whole wheat, mayo, salt and pepper.

Everyone's taste are different so as another poster said, give things a try (you can order just one packet of anything, you don't have to order a whole box). I don't like any of the "desserts", nope to soft bake and brownies-too chemically tasting for me and I'm trying to tame my sweet tooth anyway. The soft serves are ok,…

10 weeks; 20 pounds; 5 left to go to get to goal. It's been pretty easy, just follow the plan, drink more water than you think you can manage. A lot of helpful info on the Medifast Forums.
