Hi Any one can add me. About 2weeks into keto so far :)

In the UK I use Elmea Single Light - about 15cal per 2tbsp I think. I know low-fat versions are supposed to be worse for you but I am very much in the camp of, if it fits I can have it!

Shop-bought sandwiches/rolls are notorious for being high in calories... saying that, my ultimate home-made ones aren't much better but they're definitely more satisfying!

I'd go mushroom soup or mushroom broth with noodles - I may have to go buy some mushrooms now...

Well carb-shizz aside, I think the general feeling of the doctor was the way of life. So like snowflake said, lots of fruit and vegetables and quality over quantity. I think that needs to be the focus. Perhaps the doctor meant low in refined carbs like McDs hamburger rolls kind of thing - which I think we can all agree on.…

On a side note your body does gradually adapt and re-train your brain little bit as you adjust. As others have said, you want to be eating whole foods - don't rely on shakes etc - and eat plenty of protein. And when the weight goes down it is some motivation XD

Diet is losing weight, exercise is for the cellulite. Focus on the weight loss first. Pre-log your meals in advance and drink lots of water.

I certainly wouldn't be weighing melon skin - that weighs enough per 100g despite the low calories. Apple peel? I'd weigh it whether I eat it or not. I'd be more concerned with cutting out the core. The flesh and seeds weigh more (Y)

Bump!

100% this. It's YOUR journey, no one else should be holding you back. You make the decision to create an account and take responsibility for your intake. Everything in moderation :)

I'm with the pizza-eaters! Oh and crisps... and peanut butter... and the buffet... XD

Judge all you like, I use some old loose PJ bottoms with a tie around the waist so the don't fall down and they 'flow' and don't stick to me whilst I work out.

If a shake works for you and you enjoy the shake i.e. savour and look forward to it then go for it. It doesn't matter what time you have your calories as long as there's an overall deficit. Some people might prefer solid food in its place but if it works for you and keeps you working towards your goals then I'm all for it-…

The best advice I can give is have patience, drink water and don't weigh yourself everyday- weight loss does stall and fluctuate according to the time, day and TOM. You didn't gain weight overnight, and you certainly won't lose it overnight. 16lbs is a great start and hopefully the first of many pounds you will lose. Don't…

I also pre-log my meals. And I'm okay eating 900/1000/1200 on one meal because I don't use that amount of calories haphazardly. I make sure it's a good sized portion and 500% delicious. I also like to log my meals a few days at a time (to help avoid waste and make sure all fresh food is used) but also so that I can think…

About 2months after I first started my boyfriend's mum noticed, well shrieked it actually, which led my boyfriend to noticing but he hasn't mentioned anything else. My best friend noticed 4 months in. My parents knew and everyone else hasn't noticed/hasn't mentioned it...

I generally know my week so pre-log a few days in advance depending on foods that need using. My biggest meal is lunch most days which I have s late as I can push and then that sees me through until 7ish for dinner. If I spare cals I snack, if I don't then I drink lots of water. Usually 500cal lunch, 400-500cal dinner and…

I'm with the peanut butter! -Salmon -Nuts -Milkshakes -Full-fat yoghurt -Honey -Olive oil Roasted veg instead of steamed can add 150cal depending on the amount of oil.

Cheat day? No. Maintenance days? Yes. I'm a uni student and go home every two weeks for the weekend, during which I'm at maintenance. I don't eat considerably more, I just have dessert or the odd takeaway every few weeks. Obviously there are days, like Christmas, that I don't have calorie limits. But if I call maintenance…

I also eat when I'm hungry- though I try to push it to later times so breakfast around 10am-12pm and then later meals as a result, since I tend to have late night and want to eat my arm about 11pm if I eat dinner at 5pm. Whatever works for you in a calorie deficit. I have a MFP who eats between 1pm-5pm and squashes all her…

^^Love^^ You can't spot-target fat. And there's no point doing sit-ups etc because you're just gaining muscle under the fat. You need to work towards a deficit and that will drop the weight, adding exercise if you want but it doesn't matter where you do it. Cardio is best for now to lose weight.

(Y) Great post and well-timed I think for some!

Don't just go for protein, go for carbs too. When it's from lack of sleep, your body is craving energy in the form of food, which carbs directly provide. I find it's easier to give myself a big o' bowl of pasta than sit knawing on nuts, chocolate, crisps before I eventually cave and decide I should have a meal... Better to…

The only thing I order from Starbucks now is a small skinny mocha, at about 70cal a go, but not regularly. I can drink my coffee either zero sugar and black or milky and sweeter, though I do prefer the latter. I think it's a case of retraining your mind if you want to move away from your favourite concoction (i.e.…

I'm 21, SW: 227lbs, 38DD on top, size (UK) 20 top and 18 bottom, around 2,500cal per day CW: 186lbs, 38DD on top (surprisingly!), size (UK) 16 top and 16 bottom, around 1,200-1,600cal per day, depending on the day.

For me (and I know it's not available for some people) I up my water so that I'm balancing the water in my body. More water= more urine and more sodium passing through. I cook most things from scratch and hate salty food but if I have a lot of bacon or something naturally salty, I will watch my sodium for the rest of the…

I agree with maxphia32, always go for the lowest burn. I put mine under aerobics for a cardio dvd, usually light aerobics for warm up session and moderate if it gets quite a bit more intense :) hope this helps!

There are no bad carbs. There are no bad foods. There are more nutritious foods, but that's another question.

No! 100% Not!! The police will come and pry that 4th Oreo from your hands and you'll be fined on the spot. Yes. If they fit, there is no issue. No food is bad.
