No, that's what I said :) The reactions I get from certain foods are not the same as other people. (And I'm not avoiding the rest of this, but I gotta go to work!)

So I guess you could say instead that my reaction to those macros are genetic...and then we're back to the beginning :)

But I am literally NOT eating less-I'm eating DIFFERENT. I'm now eating foods that are better for MY body. I'm still at 1200 calories. But I grew up thinking the weight watchers way- 1200 calories is 1200 calories, while for me, that's just not true.

This is really a yes and no. I grew up eating the same as my relatively skinny family. We were all competitive swimmers-so exercise wasn't the issue. BUT. We are also half native, and I'm the one who carries most of the native traits. In December I stopped with the sugar and carbs (well, I lowered them significantly…

This is a better forum. https://www.facebook.com/groups/idealproteinsupportersphase1group/

I cannot say enough good things about a ketogenic diet. I was diagnosed in December with an A1 C of 10.3. As of today my doctor has officially declared that I am no longer diabetic. The plan I follow is slightly different, I am on the ideal protein diet. It is low-carb, low sugar, Moderate protein, low-fat. And I have…

Seriously, come over to the facebook page, I only use mfp to log now, I found these forums less than helpful with what we're doing. :)

Really...I'm never hungry, there are actually times at dinner I have to force the last of the meat down. My coach wouldn't have let me sign up, don't all the products have gluten or egg in them? I lost 6 the first week, and it looks like I will be the same this week. Mind you, I'm following strictly.

Curious what you picked? I think I could eat the pudding forever :-) but doesn't seem realistic so... Also really like the barbecue chips for snacks

Nope, it counts. It doesn't burn away, it gets soaked into the food. I suppose you could measure what's left... 4 tbsp is deep frying in my opinion, unless it's just a ginormous pan.

Drink your water :) The bad breath phase has started for me, so this week should be good. New one to try, I did the banana waffles with the pudding...oh...so...good. I didn't use the syrup but apparently you can use the walden farms syrup. I've had sugar free syrup before, and let's just say it's not worth $8. I don't know…

Some things work for some people. Some things don't. The problem is when you take that "failure" and let it stop you from trying something else. Low-carb works for me, while IIFYM absolutely did not. So, hang in there until you find what does work for you.

I find the trick is to add your 2 cups to the packet. For the mushroom soup, I'll add a cup of mushrooms and two stalks celery. For the potato, I'll add 2 c. of leeks. The vanilla drink powder is great in coffee. I had to stop buying the triple chocolate wafers...they are sooooo damn good. But they're restricted and I…

I think you'd be surprised. 4 oz of noodles is a quarter of the package and a pound of chicken is a lot. You could always just make more noodles and adjust, there's a lot more sauce than noodles. At 386 calories, with some exercise, that's room for 2 servings :)

Sunday. Sunday is "I will only put pants on if I have to" day. I love Sunday.

And all the brands vary, I just found some that, while still high, won't send you into a coma while looking at them. But the lowest "normal" ones I've found are still 25g carb, 8g sugar.

It's not free. It's one of your benefits. You work for it. Talk to the manager-especially about the cologne. Most places are scent free anyway. You could always write a letter if you're really uncomfortable speaking up-just make sure it's given straight to the manager. But my suggestion is just to speak up.

(*) (*) People forget, grains ARE sugar. My blood sugar went from a 10.2 (diabetic) to a 4.9 (optimum normal) in 8 months, all from controlling those sugar spikes. You might not be diabetic, but sugar spikes-and dips-aren't good for anyone. But the IIFYM people are loud. And the low-carbers are defensive :)

Hate to be "that guy" but graham crackers = 76 g carb, 68g sugar, negligible fibre. So make sure you find gluten free or sugar free graham crackers.

I've tried a couple of her recipes, and they're good. http://beautyandthefoodie.com/category/gluten-and-grain-free-low-carb-recipes/low-carb-grain-free-desserts-and-treats/

So much grilled cheese! I put bacon on it once and thought I was being all adventurous...

I've actually tried it, not bad, not bad at all. Labatt is tourist beer :) http://blogs.calgaryherald.com/2014/09/30/beer-news-stone-brewing-deems-alberta-worthy-a-dandy-debut-for-calgary-brewery-and-more/

Yup...I got flagged. Someone must be a real hoot at parties.

That's cause you're not Canadian. Or a member of those states we are quietly and politely converting to real coffee. :) Next we need to work on beer.

Oh! That is so good. It haaaas to be good for you...there's chicken. Right?

CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE???? We are so ripped off here.

That's not a bad thing. But then...leafs fan.... ;)

I'm glad it worked for you. And...ketosis works for others...CICO works for others...low-carb works for others...surgery works for others and praying to the magical weight loss gods works for others. And there's a study for every.single.one.

I'm also on 1200/day. And while I'm not vegetarian, some advice that might work on filling you up is not so much what carbs you're eating but how they're spread out. I find that if you keep your carbs even through the day it keeps you (read:me) from feeling too hungry ever. So, I'm on 100g carb/day. I eat 30/meal and the…

So, never mind the new shoes--this is my next purchase?
