Honestly I wasn't up for anything until after 12 weeks. Do you have a jogging stroller?

Please rest your body. YOU JUST GAVE BIRTH! Whatever feeding style you choose can influence the weight you lose, but don't go hardcore about weightloss, there are more important things than a number on a scale.

I am not here to diet, I am here to change my life. It includes low carb, high fat *sarcastic gasp* and a calorie deficit of 1400 or so. It's a struggle because of how I was raised and how I see food, but if I can have only 4 problem days out of 30, I think I'm doing something right.

Yes, and because I am prone to attacks caused by exacerbation I take my rescue inhaler 10min before I begin and that prevents any attacks from happening.

Yes. It is too much. You can never protect your children from the rest of the world 100%. You can preach to them and lecture them on what YOU prefer in a sex life and partner, but as the animals we are curiosity happens and I would rather my son not end up being a carrier because I chose to ignore the fact that humans are…

This whole bunch of shenanigans is only because there was a rash of vegan parents who were not feeding their children enough to provide adequate nutrition. Veganism is a great eating style IF you know how to get all your nutrients from it, which some people are not educated enough and so suffer for it.

Pinterest is the best place to find recipes for keto. Are you looking for egg-fast friendly cloud bread? If not, there are recipes out there that involve sour cream and protein powder.

Lol I saw that claim, however I believe it's near impossible to do that.

I really don't eat breakfast, I might have a fatty coffee but usually I can go until 4-6pm before really feeling the need to eat... except lately... sharkweek T_T

I've tested 4+ hrs after eating, it was 69. I think that's good but I've never taken a fasting blood glucose. Something to try tomorrow.

Remember that grams are what matters, not necessarily the percentages that MFP gives us with the free accounts.

Just keep going, the body loses where it loses. They will at least be less lumpy over time.

*sigh* For -some- people, -some- people compensate by eating more food when they know their drink doesn't have calories. -Some- people are triggered by a sweet taste despite it not having any calories. All the studies include these people who, for -them-, become more susceptible to over-eating or crave sweet things to a…

For me, confidence is about loving myself and my efforts. I consider the battles I have fought (emotional eating, quitting smoking) and the fact that I carried another human being inside of me as just a part of life's journey and how far I've come from who I was 5+ years ago when I hated myself and my life. I have improved…

I hit Onederland about 2 years ago. My starting weight was 262lbs. I've been hovering around 180-190 thanks to events in my life as I continue to fight emotional eating.

8/24 : 186 I slipped over my weekend, lucky that it wasn't a total bender! I am happy about such minimal gain.

The r/keto reddit has lots of info for vegan ketoers. You will have a higher carb count because you're relying mostly on veggies, however nuts, seeds and oils will take you far. :)

I LOVE keto eating. Only two slip ups in 23 days? That's a winner in my book! I am an emotional eater and carbs really trigger binges. It's helped lower my cholesterol too!

meatfreeketo.com Or Google 'Healthy Gamer Girl' she makes wonderful vegetarian/vegan low carb food!

I think it's pretty important in a lifestyle change, I mean that way you have a grip on portions, fullness etc. but I do agree that no matter the eating style, exercise and healthy portions are good for general overall health and not just weight management.

I eat keto and a carb-cycle, in a way. My usual goal is around 25-30g total carbs per day, but every two weeks or so I will have keto treats and end up at 55-60g total carbs instead. I think it helps prevent stalls.

I don't understand where you're getting at. Apparently it's gotten serious enough in Italy where they felt something needed to be done. It's not forcing parents to feed their children meat or anything at all, and it isn't helicopter parenting someone elses kids by including obvious malnutrition or emergency visits because…

I guess to be more relevant to the conversation, despite my low income I lost my first 50lbs walking 1 mile twice per day and investing in a food scale. If you have small salad plates and toddler bowls, those are also good steps towards learning portions. It most certainly is enough to fit a damn "serving" of Special K,…

Yes but she's unemployed. It doesn't make sense.

I choose the third option: Finding an eating style that helps me maintain a calorie deficit suitable for someone obese like myself as well as trying to get in regular walking. You cannot out-run, literally, a bad diet.

Yeah for real, I make 25k/yr and maybe it's because AZ has better qualifiers but I am married with one toddler and we get $200/mth. Only one of us works. Crazy crazy stuff. Churches do the food box thing, I'm sure you know the drill, buy in-season produce, shop meat sales etc. We are fortunate where we live, I don't know…

I'm up for it, I need to start getting in more than what I'm going now. [edited by mods]

I am curious about your state's government assistance program. A single parent would never be denied food stamps here in AZ, even if they had a job.

Carbohydrates are NOT an essential nutrient. We can generate glucose on our own. Also, cellulose = insoluble fiber. What exactly do you think people eat on keto, just steak and butter? We cannot produce our own essential fatty acids NOR can we produce our own essential proteins. Annnyways, that's not what I was replying…

Well yeah but everything has a reason... like... how can you have a negative view on something that tastes mostly like nothing?? Sure sure, I don't have to be catered to but I mean... it's -water-. Our bodies should crave it. Since going low-carb I increased my water and now even the diet peach tea at the local gas station…
