One ounce Cream cheese with berries bought frozen and almonds.

I only subtract fiber from real foods.. those sugar alcohols and other substitutes mess up my progress. I've also noticed that the fiber in nuts seems to count as sugar to my body as my ketone strips will show no ketosis.

Look more at your micro and macro nutrients.. If your 1200 or so calories meets your nutritional needs then I say exercise off as many calories as you want and enjoy the rewards of a leaner healthier you!! (Not pack back in the calories) I've read and watched many different philosophies on this, but the biggest "loser" is…

I never thought the sugars would get far enough into the body before being used up.. But it makes sense. I wonder how much of a difference it makes.?? I just bought some coconut oil for my coffee and now for my skin too..

How do you post pictures?

I mix dukes mayo with Tabasco sauce and garlic salt.. It makes a great hot sauce!

I understand about systemic absorption through skin but never really thought about the amounts of sugars being significant enough to effect my diet. Thanks nill4me for the links.. I may use some of the alternatives ..

This is an excerpt I took from a neuroscience organization that treats kids with seizure disorders with ketogenic diet .. "In addition to following the diet’s nutrition requirements, patients must monitor the ingredients in their medicines and nonprescription products (such as vitamins and dietary supplements). Other that…

I have a mini portable pedal cycle and although I can keep a good pace for at least an hour, my heart rate only goes up to about 110-120. I know its better than nothing and I can do it while watching TV and such so I only count 1 calorie a minute and don't eat them back. Some days I can pedal 3-4 hours.. But I still don't…

the weight you calculate is JUST YOU.. no shoes.. side note:: can you imagine the stilettos girls would get if it meant they could say they were skinny!

i want BMI 21!!.. i'm at 25.4 right now and 34.11% body fat (estimates only from 8 measured locations) at 5'9 i'll have to weight around 145 lbs.. tho when i get to 150 i may have mine checked professionally because i'm very muscular (underneath) and think my body fat % might be too low at that weight so its just a goal.

This is my first time truly using this site and since i've become dedicated to it the pounds have started to fall off. Accountability is the key to success for me because it tricks my mind into feeling like i'm losing weight for more than just me (I tend to treat myself last). This week i find that I'm logging on and…

most detox encourage using citric juices and such which completely go against low carb diets. I restrict my carbs to 20 net (where you subtract fiber) when trying to lose weight and <30 when maintaining. There are lots of veggie choices but in moderation..low carbs will help you lose.. but not if you try to do both... i'm…

food scales are crucial!.. it's amazing how much a banana, pickle, chicken breast.. and steak can actually weight! I'm a pretty good slicer and when I was weighing and trimming portions of steak to freeze I varied from 97-143 grams from what (almost) appeared to be equal pieces. Also use caution when subtracting exercise…

Have you been updating your weight data to compensate for your weightloss? the smaller you become the less calories you need at a basal level.

I read thru all these posts and as most chronic dieters already know, everyone is a little different. No one plan will work for every person. No two plans are alike...and more importantly no two resources seem to say the same things.. a few examples would be the calories and protein in a 4 ounce serving of chicken breast…

My face, the back of my upper arms, and around my ribcage lose first with the belly flab nearly impossible to remove. I gain first in my face and back and then arms.. usually my first few days off a diet i'm in GORGE MODE and so my stomach is bloated and full of literally pounds of digesting food.. which eventually…

I really like the idea of being able to view friend's diary... it makes being accountable easier :) ..my problem is i've been bad about putting all my data into breakfast cause it consolidates my frequent foods better..is there a secret setting to merge that stuff?

I'm new to this board and need friends too!.. I'm also 34 and a second year nursing student with two kids in HS.. a wonderful fiancee.. and lots and lots of pets. My one true addition in life is FOOD.. I love to grow, prepare, measure...and EAT food. I have central sleep apnea and elevated prolactin levels as well a…

i'm 5'9 and currently 178. I maintain about 180-185 when i don't diet.. but when I do cal restriction doesn't work unless I stay way under my BMR. I went to the Dr about it years ago as I was restricting my diet to 1800 and brisk walking 7 1/2 miles a day and wouldn't drop below 180 after 6 months(I was conditioning a dog…

I have central sleep apnea and there is really nothing that can be done about it other than the CPAP. (my arousal was 272 times and 16 "apneas" of >30 seconds which is considered moderate altho I signed a medical waiver to refuse the equipment).. For obstructive weight loss and tilting your bed will work. I've never been…
