I eat lower carb (90g), and like you, its the only way I can lose weight (and for me, control my blood sugar!) I eat a LOT of veggies, an 8oz salad of baby greens, spinach, radishes, celery, flat peas, carrots, cucumber and blueberries every day, and a whole, low glycemic fruit a couple times a week.. I even eat corn…

Also, just want to add. My doc ordered a screen for the particle type of LDL. I've got big fluffy ones mostly, not small, sticky ones.

"Saturated fat, eat or don't eat?" Depends on you. I'm 44. I eat 60% of my calories a day from fat. Butter, whole cream, meat, cheese, olive oil, coconut oil, egg yolks. In September, I was eating about 25% of my calories from fat, 25% from protein and 50% from carbs. My doctor threatened to put me on a statin because my…

I bought a girdle from Brazil (a Squeem) so that I had a smooth line in my wedding dress, (spanx wasn't strong enough) but I wear it to work now too!

Slathered in fresh butter or dipped in extra virgin olive oil. I tell myself I will have just one 30g piece and some butter. I take a bite and look down and the whole…

Started LCHF on Jan 16, when the docs told me I'm diabetic. I eat 20% carbs (90g or less) 20% protein (90g or less) and 60% fat (120g). As of this morning's weigh in, I have lost 9.4 pounds. I haven't been hungry, I have more energy, I sleep better. My forearm measurement is down by 1/2". I tried Medifast for a year, spent…

I don't agree with that. I didn't put ON 2 pounds a week to become 115 pounds overweight. Those 115 pounds went on over a period of 728 weeks (14 years), and personally, I think that losing the weight in anything LESS than 2 years will just cause me to rebound and put it right back on again. That works out to a pound a…

Photos. Several full length photos in well fitting clothes. Mindfulness exercises help. Looking at my WHOLE self in the mirror, not just my face as I used to do.

Depends on HOW you are eating. Cocktail rye bread with natural peanut butter and raw berries. Diced chicken breast with tomato sauce, herbs and cheese.
