I was at one point leaving big deficits in upwards of 600 and 1000 calories. Once I started eating more I started losing weight so much faster. As long as it isn't a massive amount you should be okay. I would say add some cheese, kielbasa, ground beef, BACON into your diet. Seriously for the first week I ate buffalo wings…

My major issue was the plane. I will have to fly for work and at 300 pounds 6ft I'm so nervous. I'm down from 350 but I'm still nervous.

Do you mean the cookies? i found this recipe. I haven't tried as I am allergic to nuts. You could probably sneak in some chocolate into this. I use the Ghiridelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips when I make cookies. They are a 0.5 carb each but the chips are bigger than normal chocolate chips. : Almond & Orange Florentines…

I think you need to stick with with what you are doing. It amazes me how people think they are experts on weight loss but it all depends on the person and how their body reacts to the diet. Take it as a lesson in how to deal with this behavior in the future. I am about 45 pounds down and I had friends tell me what i needed…

I initially had a burst of energy so much so that i could sleep at night for about a week and than suddenly I became really tired and now I feel like I'm back to normal. I had enough energy to excercise but that burst of energy I initially had is gone. I can't say that I miss it because it really ruined my sleep pattern.

I make bacon cheeseburgers, cauliflower and "mac and cheese" with bacon, bacon wrapped jalepnos stuffed creamcheese poppers. You should google.

I started off cutting out bread, potatoes, and rice but still ate a bunch of fruit and than transitioned to keto where i had no fruit and limited my carbs to under 50 g. I think I had an easier transition than going cold turkey. I would definitely suggest starting out with a higer amount of carbs and than scaling back.…

I used to have one every Sunday. I stopped not because I was gaining weight because I was losing weight but it would take me all week to get back down to my weight and lose. It was just frustrating looking at the scale and seeing my weight go up knowing full well that it was water weight.

I've been doing Fitness Blender excercisises on Youtube and I've lost 44 lbs so far. They have a whole variety. I've never been to the gym just workout at home.

eating or drinking coconut oil or butter to get to your fat intake. Thank goodness for fat bombs.

I don't mind cooking but apparently buffalo wild wings has some keto options and kfc's grilled chicken has no carbs ( think that it might be brined so perhaps some) but I've been able to eat them and stay in ketosis.

I understand your frustration. Someone told me after being in ketosis for five days consecutively to eat a bunch of carbs one day and than go back into ketosis for another five days. I think they call it carb nite. The first week I did it I actually saw results. A bit of bloating but it went down within a day and i lost…

I started on Low Carb and switched to keto. I don't eat any fruit. I know you can eat fruits and berries but i try to keep my carbs under 20g so fruit is out of the question along with tomatoes and all those other goodies. I know some people do eat them in very small quantities though. Good Luck!

I've been doing low carb but more recently keto for a while. I'm alot bigger I started at 350 and down to 314. I felt HORRIBLE at first on low carb. I am down to under 20 g of carb a day but usually I am under it. There are sooo many low carb recipes that mimic bread and other bread like things like cauliflower pizza. I…

Sleep does effect your weight. If I don't get enough sleep for a few days or even two days I gain weight.

Yes its very hard. When I let go of carbs I was in the fetal position for a few days. Some of your weight might be water weight though

I understand. I think people need to understand that when you have used food to overeat and it has caused you to gain weight sometimes people view it while dieting as a bad thing. I can only speak for myself but I find it hard to eat sometimes. My only thought process is if I don't than I won't lose weight. Its challenging…

I'm dropping weight as it is now and I'm having major problems with my "bird wings". I went on youtube and found a video for Tank Top Arms. It seems to be helping a bit. Goodluck

I work out in the evening or even late a nite unless I am going out that night than I do it during the day.

Hi, I also suffered from anxiety and was on Prozac for a few months. I noticed that I didn't eat as much and I lost a bit of weight although I think it can cause weight gain. I did feel better and it was almost immediately. I am off of it now after only being on it for a few months. I did have other side effects but they…

I've lost about 36 pounds and I still feel like i want to eat more. I feel like it hasn't changed. I think the only thing that prevents me from eating more is the idea that I might gain all my weight back.

I read that in order to get rid of your stomach you need to exercise everything. They say one of the biggest mistakes people make is they try to do these ab workouts and what happens is the ab works give you abs under a layer or fat and can actually make your stomach look bigger. So its my understanding that you have to do…

I think that its weird that a school actually said something to her versus a friend or family member. It wasn't their place to say anything. I feel like that was an invasion of privacy and she also had to jump through all these hoops to prove she wasn't.

I think that you will. If you're using my fitness pal it should give you more calories for what you eat. I usually try to stay 600-800 under my calories intake but if I don't eat enough I don't lose anything.

I wouldn't call what you had today an eating binge. I think you did really well today.

Okay. What a relief. I thought I thought I was going nuts. I know someone else told me your weight may stay the same but your shape may change. Thanks for the input!

I do plan on eating those foods again but not at the moment. I've lost a substantial amount of weight watching my carb intake. Its working for me so I plan on sticking to it.

I am usually 600 to 800 under my caloric intake daily and also exercise. I think that I lost most of my water weight early on when I was doing a low carb diet but not with the carbs as restricted as they are now. I will just wait and see how it progresses.

I'm doing keto and it seems to be working. Low carb may work as well.

Hi, I found that I really needed to be honest with myself as far as what I could and couldn't do. I would oftentimes go into the grocery store and buy something fatty and say I would only have a piece. I learned that even if I could have a piece and be within my caloric intake I still didn't need to buy it. I would say…
