I give up Ruby, I'm not argumentative by nature so I won't continue in this debate. I know that YOU know what a tbsp is, for God's sake anyone with half a brain knows. You aren't a "newbie", like folks are presuming. A tablespoon is....measure your tbsp....level it off with a knife.There is your tbsp. NOT rocket science.…

It shouldn't be too hard to measure a tablespoon, Ruby is a friend and she knows what she's doing re measurements :smile: I'm more concerned with the comments of Lichen, and worried that anyone might take that advice. Diabetic/Pre-Diabetic? 40% carbs will keep you on meds all your life, you can be assured of that. Low fat?…

Are you joking? Have you seen the average American 21stC diet? I have personally helped 2 diabetics off medication by diet alone, and fortunately many other diabetics worldwide have found that carbohydrates spike their blood sugars/keep them on meds and have found immense improvement following a low carbohydrate diet. .…

Hiya Ruby :-) For my two pennyworth, what really jumps out at me is how low your intake of fats is lately - your protein is usually much higher, often double. Keto relies upon sufficient fats intake - fats are meant to replace carbs as your primary fuel. Secondly, your calorie count of late has been pretty low, for…

Big congrats on reaching Onederland! :flowerforyou:

Excellent job! You've come much too far to turn back now, and are looking fabulous :flowerforyou: Keep on keeping on, you WILL get there :smile:

User is de-activated...such a shame, I'd been following her progress and would love to know how she's doing now :( ETA : no she's still here with a different account - and looking fabulous :smile:

lol, that IS a good #2 :laugh:

It's not a new diet, so I'm surprised there haven't been more deaths - it's basically starvation, how can any medical practitioner with half a brain recommend it?

Are you female, and if so is your period due? "Time of month" causes gains for most women - often several lbs - but it's only fluid & comes straight off the week after :wink:

No. As someone above said, it's activity, not exercise. Even "sedentary" expects *some* daily activity.

Green beans. Last month it was asparagus. Not complaining, could be much worse :laugh:

Low carb doesn't mean eating no veg - it just means choosing from the many non-starchy ones. I eat low carb and eat more veggies than I ever did before, same as most others :smile:

You look fabulous - 52lbs is amazing - and hubby looks slimmer too! :flowerforyou:

Agreed! You've done an amazing job and are an inspiration to others, please don't vanish just yet :flowerforyou:

LOVE this, gonna pinch it :laugh:

Fantastic results, you look great - and what a gorgeous boy Johann is :flowerforyou:

Fantastic - and look how big your eyes are now? :noway: Huge congrats, you look lovely :flowerforyou:

Bill says it all, hideous :laugh:

Great attitude :smile:

Bump for later - very informative, thank you for compiling all that into one post :smile:

:laugh:

eaten beer glasses at a bar in Holland...lots of them :blushing:

Fantastic achievement, big congrats :flowerforyou:

Not for me; if I ate them all I didn't lose, so now I only eat half of them max. MFP is known to over-calculate exercise calories, so maybe that's what happened with me when I ate them all.

Black tea, has to be Yorkshire Gold, nice and strong :smile:

Wow you look fabulous! Well done, & enjoy your trip - excellent reward! :flowerforyou:

H-U-G-E difference already, looking good - well done! :flowerforyou:
