New to this group. Have been doing LCHF (since mid-May), added IF the 2nd week of September, and have lost around 20 lbs. between the two WOE. I'm a diabetic, type 2, and I have been managing it well, with oral meds and a low dose of insulin. The drs. call me a healthy diabetic even though I'm way overweight. I joined…

Thanks for the info! I've only been tracking carbs a few days, but so far I'm around 25. I had stopped using Whey protein, but when I started back low-carb the one with the lowest carbs was a Whey protein. The vegan ones that I had been using had too many carbs for induction. Since I would prefer not to use Whey, Ill…

You eat coconut oil "straight outta" the jar. Your grandkids think you're crazy when you tell them your heavy cream and spinach smoothie tastes like a milkshake! You buy tuna in water and then add fat!

How low are your carbs? I'm just experimenting and I'm keeping track of them on here and and will only use berries, kiwi, or plums as my fruit, but will cut the fruit out completely if I find it isn't working for me.

My smoothies consisted of 50% each of fruits and green, leafy veggies. Because I'm a diabetic, I always added protein powder to slow down the absorption of the fruit and my bg levels were always stable. My last A1C was 5.9. I drank my smoothies 2 to 3 times a day. Since I'm experimenting with LCHF smoothies, I'm only doing…

My results health wise have been great. It was the J.J. Smith 10-day cleanse, which I've done several times. It improved my A1C, triglycerides, cholesterol, everything. I just haven't had the continued, steady weight loss success that a lot of people have and even gained back the weight each time after the 10 days. I…

Thanks! Ill check it out!

I use Himalayan Pink Salt. It's loaded with good stuff!

I just joined WW Saturday, but I can't grasp just what the "new" program is about. Why do you say it steers you away from carbs? What I thought is that its encouraging us to build our meals around protein and "good" carbs I.e. more fruit and veggies. I'm just so confused, lol

Just starting WW today and really appreciate this post. I'm going to track in both places also and compare the two. Not feeling too good about what I'm reading about the new WW program, but will do my best. One thing I read re: WW is NOT to consider fruit as no points! This makes sense to me because of the sugar content. I…
