My new fave is putting whatever meat the family is eating into a pan with butter and cooking down shredded cabbage with it.

My face is much more clear when my carb consumption is low. However, when I first decreased my carb intake I had a horrible breakout and then my skin looked so much nicer after that.

I'm giving this tip a try. Thanks!

I have veggie issues as well. Check out a list of FODMAP veggies and try sticking to the ones that are low on the list. The high FODMAP veggies make me feel miserable.

I am happy for my husband and girls, always. My happiness in myself is that I've found a way of life that makes me feel like I'm living and accomplishing for ME.

Feel free to add me as well.

Feel free to add me, I eat pretty boring though.

I can't recall where I read it, but I know it was one of the Swedish keto sights, that women losing weight should stick to as close to 60g of protein a day. Going over 60 is supposed to lower the rate of weight loss.

I have the same issue. I can't close my diary if I don't eat at least 1k calories a day. Some days I am not hungry. I see these comments go back and forth and sometimes by the same person. 'Eat only when your hungry' 'If your eating enough fat you'll be satiated longer' 'Eat the minimum calories'. It's all so confusing.…

Add me, newbie myself.

Fabulous Job!!

If you haven't already, read the info in the launchpad. There's great information there. I know just reading through that and the other threads I've learned a lot!

FIT_Goat, you are a true friend.

I'm so happy for you! What a great feeling. I need that strength. It's funny how our clothes can feel different and our body composition can look different but yet we let that little square monster have a play in our feelings. Keep on keepin on!!

My littles are the same. At first they resisted but now they are on board. I cook one meat and give them veg options and it seems to work. They do have snacks that I don't eat but in moderation I feel it is ok.

Have you tried taking a magnesium supplement about an hour before you go to bed? It's good for keeping muscle cramps at bay in addition to helping you feel over all relaxed.

You can add me as well.

Thanks for your responses. I really appreciate it!

I'm new to this and hoping I'm doing it somewhat right. Would some of you well knowledged lchf veterans mind taking a look at my diary? I'm open to all advice. I'm wondering if I'm not consuming enough protein. Does it hurt to have low protein and higher fat?

Hi All, I changed my way of eating to lchf on Jan. 2 of this year. My goal is to make healthier living a habit. I am 41, 5'1 and 173 lbs. I would love to initially lose 45 lbs and see how I feel. I joined MFP in 2013 at 189 lbs but didn't take my weight loss seriously. Now I am determined. I would really like some like…

I'm late to the party but would love the motivation. I plan on walking/jogging 40 miles this month. url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/exercise/wPb7HEd/] [/url]

I understand that, I really do. Sometimes people are just looking for support and that is what they should get. It is so harsh on here at times.

Seriously, who suggests divorce to someone? Why does hiding behind a 'keyboard' make it ok to just be horrible? There are two sides to every story. We are here to be supportive not judgmental. I know what its like to not feel supported, it sucks, but it is not every aspect of someones life with that other person. No one…

I love my Enell!

a little onion added with the tomato.... mmmm

You brought tears to my eyes; I REALLY needed to read this. These very fears kept me away from the gym for so long. I have just recently started walking/jogging at the gyms outside trail. I feel so good when i'm there but still find myself wondering if people are paying attention. Thank you for writing this!

Hey Y'all! I'm Melynda and I'm happy to be a part of this group. I'll turn 40 in October, yikes! I have 54 lbs to lose to be at a healthy bmi.
