Thanks all I am going to do that. I am thankful that I actually learned how great I felt while Low Carbing. I have been having oatmeal every morning since I started this (which I love), might drop that and start eating a more protein / fat breakfast with fruit, I will try Quinoa I have heard great things about it. I am…

I would probably add chicken - cause I get bored with my protein choices. I like my almond milk too....looks good to me :P

So if it is possible that I am gaining because I am possibly eating over TDEE, how long do I do that for????? I am only week 3 on my 12 week re-set....do I worry about it or just keep at it? I have not gained since I got home and have been eating again.

If I change my TDEE for the 8 lbs I gained last week, I am over by 90 cals....thinking it is not a huge deal as I probably will flucuate anyway....yeah?

I can't speak for everyone, but EM2WL from my understanding is a life change, so for me personally, I am not too concerned with how fast I lose. We are all very different. In my case I have been YoYo dieting so long my metabolism does not work. I am planning a 6 week re-set maybe more before even considering a cut :)…

I had this question in another site and the answer was - The mayo clinic considers what you are doing as Strenuous. If you are able to breath normal, carry on a conversation and sing...thats light, if you are able to breath and are breathy during the conversation and not able to sing - Moderate, if you are breathing heavy,…

:)

I am wondering why are you going straight into a cut? I have ALOT to lose, and understood starting out we should all reset - whether that means 4 weeks or 12 weeks depends on your body. I personally am planning at least 6 weeks - Find your TDEE based on your activity and eat there until you are stable, you may gain some…

I tried to stay the course - but stocking my fridge at home for hubby and a fridge on vacation just was not in the budget this month. My friend is on some weird 11 day diet where she eats only certain foods each day, loses like 7 lbs and then cheats for 3 days and then back at it.......explaining the EM1WL concept to her…

I eat all day. Protein drink in the am right when I wake up, with fruit, then breakfast usually bowl of Oatmeal with butter and almond milk, might have a snack depends, if I workout I do my workout about 1 hours after breakfast then have another protein shake or bar about an hour or so later I have lunch, which is maybe a…

I set my TDEE to lightly active, . I don't have kids, so no step up for me. Also coming into this from very low carb, not very low calorie. I have been eating at my TDEE for about 8 months, just eating 75/80% fat, 15/20% Protein and 5% carbs, so right now I am just working to get the macros right. I am a week in and no…

^^^^ Yeah that is EXACTLY what she told me :) I just got started, Day 6 (I think, losing count) and I have not gained......yet. Slow and steady wins the race.....hang in there. Get to your TDEE, workout, drink your water and just relax for a few weeks, forget about losing, forget about the "Gotta get it off", just chill…

Yes this was AWESOME! I am not really lifting like I wanna, cause I am a poor girl, so right now I am using milk jugs, til I build up the budget for some real weights -(Hubby gonna start lifting too) and I am doing that with my HIIT right now. I also plan to be Horseback riding 2 days a week, which can be quite a cardio…

Yes ! Totally makes sense, I have my numbers in for my TDEE....perfect!

Thank you! I am starting to get used to things.....still hyper focused on foods right now, I cannot wait to get to a point where, I think of food, I eat it , I move on......just rough :)

Thanks everyone for all the great ideas. I guess I just need to get used to eating what I want now. I have been off of fast food for a very long time now (occasionally I will have something, but very rare), and I do not eat snack packs or chips or stuff like that. For the last 2 years I have been eating basically Low Carb…

I just started doing Cardio this week. I have been doing Atkins for 7 months with a break of 16 days to do a short round of HCG. I just recently got my %'s in line per Low Carb within the last month. Prior to that it was a couple changes here and there. I used a TDEE calculator provided to me by a friend who recommended I…

I am not planning to go on to another round of HCG - The message I posted was something I wrote to my HCG group. I am in need of a re-set and was told to come to this sort of plan. Yes you are right what the HCG is.

CoCoMa, so you eat a gram of protein for every pound you weigh? Oh my I am not sure I could do that....I have mine set to 65% fat and 35% protein, the rest in carbs. I think that is how I did it. And then I set my cals to 1500 just to see how it goes. The reason I am setting cals is I have a tendency to overdue ANYTHING.…

I just restarted induction myself. I am on track for 20 g today!!!!! Praying I can keep it up and see a loss!!!!

I just got my first horse, and want to start riding everyday or every other day.....I am still only at trotting :P We ride western and do back country in the sierras (camp out under the stars - trail work - cleanup and ride in deep woods) I am just getting my horse worked for that with some basic riding, and have yet to…

Hi there - I have 2 ponies in my herd - Bella is a Dark Bay QH, she stands 14.3 hands and is stout built (like me:P) She was a college equestrian learning horse and a back country pack horse for years. Miss Bella is 16 years old and is my rider. We also have a Beautiful Appy - Palamino Cricket, she is a former working…

Some people eat Low Carb - I say cut out all the noodles, breads, chips and crappy carbs.....stick with the protein, nuts, veggies and cheese....way better then processed stuff.

I enjoy the carbs from fresh fruits & veggies, but I stay away from bread and pasta simple carbs. ......feel so much better when I do.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH ROTFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU! AGREE!

Not anti carbs, just anti crap carbs, like flour, processed grains, sugar, rice and stuff that we have adapted to using as FILLERS....get off the crap carbs and lose....happens :)
