  • Just asking....what is everyone's thoughts about ketosis?
  • I will be the first to admit I gained the weight back because my diet was RIDICULOUS!!! I went crazy just eating whatever I got a notion for!! Lower/Healthier carbs kept the weight off for me for a long time. Your suggestions are how I kept it off but I guess my mindset was different when I was at my ideal weight that now…
  • Great advice and I love that website. Check this one out as well http://buttoni.wordpress.com/ She has some good ones too. I also found great recipes on low carb friends forum.

Never tracked carbs just knew what was low carb foods and ate those so I don't really know what my carb threshold is. I know it is more than 20 though because I kept the…
  • Flatout wraps & Healthy Life bread (5 net carbs) for quick and easy sandwiches/wraps, Carbsmart ice cream when I need a sugar fix!!

I ate low carb for 2-3 days then ate anything I wanted for 1-2 days (just depending on my moods). I have recently gained back 30 of those pounds but I have been eating ridiculous…
  • Did Atkins about 5 years ago and lost 65 lbs in 3 months. Kept it off for a few years.have gained about 30 of it back since changing jobs and returning to school for my Ph.D. Being on the go soooo much made it hard to keep it up. Looking to get back on track though. Feel free to add me as a friend. I know low car works and…
