LOSE not LOOSE Eat clean. Nothing processed. Cut out sugars. You should be good. Good luck!

Can you post the link so we can join?

First, here are the LC or Keto groups on MFP: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1143-keto http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/7705-low-carb-high-fat-lifestyle http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group There are probably more, but those are the ones I joined. You can…

Planning is key with Paleo. I would make egg cups and your favorite veggie for the week so you can just grab and go. Or maybe a piece of fruit to go with the eggs. What about leftovers from dinner? Steak? Chicken? You could also make those muffins you mention the night before.

EAT MORE. What's the point of starving yourself? What will happen when you finally lose all your weight and want to maintain? You won't be able to eat much. You have to remember that it's about more than losing weight. I'm sure you want to be healthy as well considering you're eating clean. Look at it this way: Your BMR is…

THIS^^^^ Excellent advise. What's the rush?

Good to know! I recently purchased this as well and have noticed being fuller. But I have yet to take before dinner because I forget :blush: Will make an effort to from now on!

Yes, please share your menu/diary with us. No way we can help without some details. But it certainly seems like you are working out enough.

Each flavor has a different amount of carbs and fiber. For instance cookies and cream and chocolate chip cookie dough have 3 net carbs and 17 grams of fiber. And the carbs are from nuts, not sugar. They are a great sub for breakfast IMHO. Go for it.

I found this: The Temples The temples are the hollows or indentations on the lateral sides of the forehead, above and lateral to the eyebrows. They give a number of important diagnostic signs and indications. Temples that are unduly sunken or hollowed out can indicate dehydration, consumption, or a general state of…

Under 100 is considered "lower carb". Low carb is probably 50 or under. Make sure you're getting enough fat and protein for energy.

It's totally normal not to have a loss after a huge loss the first week. Your body needs time to adjust. Patience. The weight will come off. Don't expect more than 1-2 lbs a week. Make sure you take measurements as well. Sometimes you will lose inches, but it won't show on the scale. Pay attention to how your clothes fit.…

I'm 50 and do keto/low carb! Friend me if you'd like!

Best of luck, Dan!!! This is a great group of folks! Definitely go to this forum: http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/ and read read read. Another book I highly recommend is Keto Clarity by Jimmy Moore. Also, it's pretty easy keeping carbs around 20 grams if you are only eating protein, fats and some veggies. Let us know if you…

Your macros looks great. Just make sure you hit your fat grams everyday to keep satiated. Even though you don't mention any fat, I assume you are eating it? Nothing wrong with snacking if you need to.

How much are you eating? What are your macros set at? What's a daily menu look like for you? Snack ideas: hard boiled eggs olives cheese veggies and dip nuts and seeds (depending on what phase you are on) Atkins bars bacon

I recommend you read, read, read. Start with Keto Clarity by Jimmy Moore and even Cholesterol Clarity also by J.M. Also check out http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/ Excellent forum all about Keto. Lots of smart folks on there and no judgement.

Ok, don't worry. Start here. Let's set your goals to the following: 1500 calories 70% FAT 25% PROTEIN 5% CARBS You can adjust if you'd like, but not by much. Try to start there. And listen to Dragonwolf, she knows what she's talking about. Also, do you need assistance changing your goals, do this: My Home, Goals, scroll…

Check out Keto. http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/ It's basically Low Carb/High Fat.

Here are a couple of groups where you might want to make some connections as well: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/685-knockout-those-pounds http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/15651-let-s-lose-100 There may be more, but that's a start. Best of luck on your journey to health!!

Hi there, Net carbs = carbs - fiber - sugar alcohols. Not sugar. You do not subtract sugar from carbs, only sugar alcohols. Some people do not bother subtracting the sugar alcohols however. This is the stuff found in Atkins bars and sugar-free candies. There's no need to count sugar since it's the same as carbs. So…

Firstly, I would lower your carb intake a bit a raise your fat percentage. Your macros are not LCHF. They should be closer to something like 65% fat/ 25% protein/10% carbs, or similar. I would buy some inexpensive, high fat hamburger meat, like 80% lean, and make burgers. Also, bacon, chicken, fish, eggs, pork, and tofu.…

There's nothing wrong with Dr. Hyman's "diet". It's basically eating clean. You can do that yourself without having to purchase a book.

HA! Don't feel bad. Same thing happened to me!

Personally, I make salads for lunch with veggies, olives, feta, chicken and always with full-fat dressing. Or take leftovers from dinner the night before. Snacks are hard boiled eggs with mayo, cheese sticks, nuts, olives. It's probably better to stick with simple for the first few weeks until you get adjusted to this way…

Buy a bottle of olive oil and red wine or apple cider vinegar to make your own. Very inexpensive. And better for you than bottled dressings. You can add whatever herbs and spices you like.

Um, I'm thinking SF chocolate pudding would be a nice option.

Try these keto/low carb websites for recipes: www.ruledme.com http://www.reddit.com/r/ketorecipes http://thelowcarbrecipes.wordpress.com/ http://cavemanketo.com/ http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/ http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/ Or if you're on Pinterest, there's lots and lots of low carb boards. Here's mine:…

How many calories are you actually eating? What you listed here doesn't sound like a lot. With your height and weight, you should be eating at least your BMR at 2500. If you aren't eating enough, your body eventually will stop losing weight.

You really should be eating more than your BMR. You're barely eating enough for your organs to function eating only 1200. Try 1400 for the next week and see how things go. If that's scares you a bit, try 1300, then go up another 100 each week until you find your sweet spot.
