I've been wondering the same thing myself. May try it after my next batch of bread.

Sorry, but the diet itself isn't to blame for the problems these children had. I get much more calcium in my diet than I ever did trying the usual low fat/high fiber route. All diets come with caveats, and no one can eat anything they want. You just have to find ways of dealing with differences the diet presents. There are…

Yes!! I've been on LCHF diet for one month, because I was diagnosed with diabetes in October. I've lost 27 pounds since October, and just got my newest lab results this week. ALL my readings are in the normal range now, whereas most of them were out of control before, especially glucose and cholesterol. My current MFP…

I've been on a low carb/high fat diet for about a month and am losing about 2 pounds a week without being hungry. I no longer eat any wheat or sugar, including bread, pasta, cakes, most fruit. As a bonus, I realized after a week or so that I'm sensitive to wheat, and no longer have to take my daily allergy pill or use my…

I didn't start losing weight until I stopped counting calories and exercising for exercise' sake. I now eat as much fat as possible and under 50 carbs a day. So far, in less than 3 months, I've lost 24 pounds, have a normal blood pressure of 122/72, and normal blood glucose <100. I started my diet when my doctor told me…

I started LC/HF a month or so ago, and have FINALLY starting losing weight without counting calories or exercising like a maniac. Currently I'm eating 15% carb, 20% protein, and 65% fat. I love it! My blood sugar is now a normal 80; blood pressure 122/72. Both had been sky high for many years. I recommend "What Can You Eat…

Welcome aboard! Glad you've joined us in our journeys toward a better life. The mutual support here is really wonderful. I've been here for just over two months, and I can't imagine managing my diet without this. I started on a low carb diet by reading Blood Sugar 101 and joining the Diabetes Forum. I have been scrupulous…

Absolutely! Measure your BS an hour and two hours after every meal to see how YOU react to different foods. Measure and log everything you eat and do. It really pays off. I've been weaning myself from grains for weeks now, and I'm losing weight, reducing my FBS, and reducing my need for antihistamines. Win-win-win for me.…

Welcome to the Losers Club! Kudos for being able to lose that weight. I know that you can persevere and push through your current funk and lose it again, and more. Most of us fear holiday pressures. Glad most of it is over. I've been here for about two months, and I can't imagine managing my diet without this. I started on…

It's really hard this time of year when it's dark and cold outside. I just want tons of comfort food. Soup helps, if it's low cal/carbs. Lots of interesting veggies with baked fish.

I second that!

1371, with 400 to spare, and full beyond all belief. I planned ahead, and it paid off. :happy:

Prelogged everything to help plan the day. Ate most of my serious nutrition foods early. Drank lots of water and ate several small plates before dinner. Used a small wine glass and small, but elegant plate; filled both generously. Planned leftovers; turkey and stuffing every day for a week, with kale, spinach, Brussels…

You need to look at the glycemic index. It gives carbs a value based on how fast and how high a particular food can raise our blood glucose (blood sugar) level. It will help you make better food decisions. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=faq&dbid=32#glucose

One???? Been obsessing on glazed jelly donuts tonight. Usually it's fried chicken or a burger.

Yayyyyyyy! I'm still working toward ONEDERLAND myself, but I'm happy today because my fasting blood glucose is 90, the lowest its been in over three years. Hard work DOES pay off!!!

Sounds like you are on the right track. I hope we all enjoy the holidays and all the days after that!

:ohwell: Oh I hear you! Every time I'm in a store and see pecan pie or bags of stuffing, I start to get nervous. I had a very small serving of cranberry sauce with lunch last week, and it was half my sugar for the day. I've been doing MFP for exactly a month today, and it has taught me that planning ahead is everything. I…

Caffeine always makes me seriously gassy, bloated, and nauseous. :sick:

Not crazy, just strictly observant. He sounds similar to the men in Israel who throw rocks at people who drive on Saturday. He has issues, true. And what he is doing to you is possibly illegal. I would eat lots of meat before and after work. Nuts, soy cheese, and eggs should help get you through the day. Hummus and pita…
