@Miss_Mabee Thanks! I haven't had any eggs yet since I started since I'm still pretty stocked on bananas, but once they run out that will be my go-to breakfast until I can get some more haha! As much as I enjoy the weight loss, I've always come to believe that you should aim to lose no more then ~2.5 lbs depending on how…

@Kyla So far I love it. I made sure to seek out some recipes to make for when I started. For me, chicken started tasting like (GASP) wet dog! At least, imagine tasting that awful smell I've never ACTUALLY ate wet dog haha! I just found the weight loss weird since I was eating roughly the same amount of calories I ate…

@itsHealthy Thanks for the input! Indeed, I'm mainly going vegetarian because I've always had a rough time with diet. I was anemic and always dizzy all the time because I just ate whatever was around the house(which was mainly packaged processed food).
-
@misskitty I know! :) I've made sure to do my research and set nutrition goals to make sure that I'm getting a well rounded diet, just minus the meat. I decided to go vegetarian because lately meat has been tasting very off for me, it's also pretty expensive and as a college student I find fruits and veggies to last me…

@Ayana, congrats! I don't think I would ever be able to go full vegan, but props to you! :) Thanks for the reply!

@willrun4bagels, I just wanted to know if anyone else dropped a considerable amount of weight in the first week or two when starting a vegetarian diet. I understand how to lose weight, no need to school me in that I'm well versed. Was just curious if people experienced excess weight loss when starting out due to water loss…

Hi Roz! Even before going vegetarian I wasn't a big meat eater. I haven't had red meat in probably 4 months or so, and I normally stuck to poultry and bacon. I ate meat around 3 times per week, but that was mainly due to me not really having any money for actual food and I just ate whatever I could get my hands on at the…

Thanks for the reply. I always that a high carb diet made you retain water not lose it! I went on a SLCD last year and ended up losing a lot of weight the first week as well. Thanks for the reply again! I look forward to balancing out and starting to lose weight more gradually and steady.
-
Alright, thanks! I'll just make sure to up my water intake. I've been eating pretty balanced I think. I guess my body was just use to me eating crap.
-
Same here! It would be so much motivation to see something like this, even if it was just a rendered 3d model and generic face lol! It would be great to see the future.
-
I put it into the website and my result was straight! :( A little bummed. but it's better then being overweight haha. Maybe I'll get lucky and the way I put on fat skews my body type? I don't think thats how it works lol but a girl can dream. :) Thanks for the link! I went to mybodygallery and all the girls who put their…

Everyone assumed she was trying to lose weight in her OP. Why? She just asked what could be the possible cause of her weight loss. Maybe she's just been exercising so much to put on muscle and tone, and inadvertently lost weight. OP, as others have mentioned, I believe it's water weight as well. Make sure that you're…

Looks like I'll be looking into the Flex once some extra money comes in haha!

Just want to say thanks to everyone who came in and commented. I'm going to take all of your suggestions and try to implement them. I recently got some Matcha and Wheat grass powder and plan on making shakes in the morning to drink for breakfast, especially for the days I have classes on campus. I was doing this while in…

I know exactly what you mean! I love the way you're thinking. I don't really eat any fast food, don't drink soda, and only have candy/sweets/junk food once in a while.. but because of all the processed and fake food that I'm either forced to eat or starve I feel like all my work to not eat all that extra crap is being…

I've been trying to get a job here for a little over half a year.. I've sent in applications like crazy! I do go grocery shopping as often as I can when I have the money for it, but sometimes it gets so hectic that I'm not able to go shopping for almost a month.. recently my grandmother just decided to not go to the…

You have no idea..! I always go to my boyfriends house up in Canada for vacations and it's so amazing to be able to eat real food.. the only problem is that his family is european and so they tend to eat a lot of fatty foods like sausage or schnitzel. Also, as a hispanic, I absolutely love it when my grandmother cooks…

Well, no one can give you really a definitive answer. Only time will tell, and you'll be able to figure out how your body changes and adapts back into keto. If you ate a lot of carbs, your best bet to speed things up would be to do a really intense workout on an empty stomach. Your body will use the reserves you built up…
-
Unlike everyone else here who only seems to want to push their ideas on what is healthy for SOMEONE ELSE, I believe that if you think a keto diet is what you need to help you stop binging, all the more power to you! I too, am the same as you. I'm hispanic, so a lot of my diet consists of carb heavy food. Lots of corn…

I'm currently on the keto diet and my ratio is 60:35:5 fat:protein:carbs. Plus there's tons of great culinary options. Most people think of keto as a restricting diet, but you would be absolutely astounded at what people can come up with to imitate everyday foods without the excess carbs. Good luck!
-
Well, this would be for a low carb diet. A popular low carb diet is Atkins and Keto. Most people want to stick to under 20g of carbs a day. If you aren't on a low carb diet you don't have to worry too much about counting net carbs, but do make sure that you're still not taking in crazy amounts because this is what leads…
