Married so no, not that it really happens/happened anyways. Has only happened a handful of times and more than once was a direct result of a dare so I don't have a whole lot of trust about it - even before getting married. I have been told I have a 'don't approach' air about me so **shrug** whatever. (I can however see why…

Thank you, very helpful!

Of course there is something to be said of opposites. My husband could probably live indefinitely off of chicken nuggets and MtDew, while I have flavored seltzer water and lettuce wraps LOL

Isn't that so weird that without the carbs the appetite plunges? I have seen a lot of people say the same thing. Any good high protein/fat snack suggestions? Thanks!

For record, 1825 would indeed cause a weekly weight gain. Not sure where that number came from - I don't know if I have ever hit that before, lol.

Thank you for all the input. 1200 is my base number with a deficit for half lb per week loss. I have cut down sugars a lot too. Thinking maybe just log what I eat for week while cutting sugars and bs carbs, not trying to stay within a number and see what it looks like then.

Any tips on the macro %? Not sure I have it right. Currently at 30/35/35 at 1200 cal. Not trying to hit the keto thing, just balance blood sugar.

If you chop the chicken with apples you can sneak in veggies too, shredded carrot, cucumber or celery, etc. A little dressing or Greek yogurt to make a salad you can eat on crackers or with lettuce wraps. It's cool and refreshing and the sweet snap of apple hides veggies pretty well.

Thanks! I appreciate the tips and enthusiasm!

Thank you! Hoping it is temporary. Haven't found any good dense low carb snacks yet except a spoonful of peanut butter, lol. On the up side, I'm already feeling the benefits of lowered carbs and sugar. I would hate to mess that up you know.
