Short answer: MFP counts total carbs, not net. I swapped out one of the standard categories and now track fiber so I can compare my total and net carb amounts. Longer answer: It's personal preference if you want to count total or net. Some people try to stay under a certain number total, some deduct fiber. I recommend…

Also I suggest eating full fat plain Greek yogurt as opposed to low fat. When they take out the fat, they replace it with sugar to make it taste better. Raspberries, strawberries, blackberries are the fruits lowest in carbs. Blueberries have a few more.

I just had a similar discussion with my friend the other day. For me, it's a conscious choice every single day. It's easy to get in your car and get fast food or order takeout or drink a sugary drink that's sitting in your fridge. The hard part is having the self-discipline to stick to your calorie goals and planned foods…

Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a little parmesan cheese. Works great on any vegetable before roasting, especially broccoli.

I'm in North Jersey, in case anyone else is nearby looking for a friend. :smile:

Cucumbers + ranch, celery + low sugar peanut butter, cheese sticks, almonds, mini bell peppers + flavored cream cheese, pickles, roll-ups with turkey/roast beef/salami and cheese, hard boiled eggs, and if you want something to cool you down, sugar free popsicles. Truth be told I basically never snack on keto and just eat…

I highly recommend keto for anyone with PCOS, from personal experience. But ultimately at the end of the day, she needs to follow CICO at the same time.

Eggs and cheese. Lately frozen broccoli florets that I roast in the oven with dinner, too.

It's NAFLD I assume, yes? T2 diabetics usually benefit from ketogenic diets. From what I read, it's not yet known how longterm maintenance through keto might affect something like NAFLD as some reports say it helps and some say it hindered NAFLD in rats. I would suggest asking your doctor as well, however they are usually…

The trouble with this is that when they remove the fat, they add sugar to make it taste better, so pre-packaged foods are rarely low fat and low sugar. Cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage) are a good option and delicious raw or roasted. Beans and eggs (or egg whites, if you want even less fat) are a good…

I think those numbers are a bit lax, but if you want to ease into it for a few weeks I also don't see the harm. I have pretty severe PCOS and lost a lot of weight for the first time in my life on keto in 2014. Last year I gained it back because I went back to eating whatever while I dealt with a lot of mental health…

I have really severe PCOS and lost a lot of weight on keto (LCHF). Feel free to add me or send me a message. LCHF is wonderful for people with PCOS.

I stay under 10g of sugar pretty much every day as I eat low carb, ketogenic foods (I have PCOS and need to watch my carbs/sugar). If you are trying to go lower on sugar, you also can't use low fat products - when they take out the fat, they replace it with sugar. You'll be able to cut your sugars down by eating full fat…

Cheese, pepperoni, almonds, celery w/ no sugar added peanut butter, cucumbers + ranch dressing.

I would say you want to be under 20g net to get into ketosis, not 30. Try 3-5 days of staying as close to 25g total carbs and I'm sure you'd find better results. If you were using ketostix and not a blood test, they may not be completely accurate though, either, especially if you drink a lot of water.

1. I think I'm at 70/25/5. Some people eat like you and I, others eat 65/30/5 or 65/25/10. It's all about finding what works best for you and your body. 2. I think most people would argue it's more important to not exceed carbs. The general rule of thumb is "under carbs, hit protein goal, eat fat until full" but I try to…

Zoodles (zucchini) in place of spaghetti is good. Also cauliflower mash or rice in place of potatoes and regular white rice.

The thing is... you've done it for 14 days; how do you know this is going to be sustainable? Do you plan on using Herbalife forever? If the other "diets" you've tried weren't successful, it's most likely because you were not consistent in your efforts and gave up eating at a deficit. Pyramid schemes are not the answer.…

Zevia has citric acid but not phosphoric, so you'd be cutting out 50% of the problem if you allowed yourself maybe a can a day? Haha I know the struggle, I was a DC junkie too. I drank Zevia for a while (it's really pricey) and loved the ginger ale, but never tried the "diet cola" kind. http://www.zevia.com/flavors

It's not 20%, it's 20g. Keto is more like 5-10%. :smiley:

I gave you legitimately good solutions and that's what you focus on? Cool bro, good luck.

It's called ketogenic eating. Do some research on the kinds of foods you can eat - there are many blogs out there dedicated to keto recipes that fit the low carb, high fat, moderate protein WOE. Also - reading labels is one of my favorite parts of going to the store. I love learning what's in products I'd otherwise reach…

She and Durianrider have serious issues.

I plan the next week's meals before I go grocery shopping, but I don't plan the actual day I eat them at that time and I don't do any meal prep. I just make sure I have enough on my list for the dinners I want to make and enough eggs and things for breakfast. Then each night, after dinner, I plan the next day's food in…

"Cold, hard facts" from the Washington Post and not an actual scientific study haha. But anyway here are your answers: Tuna/chicken + mayo Pepperoni, salami, prosciuttto Meatballs or meatloaf Shrimp, salmon, tuna, tilapia, oysters, clams, etc. Hot dogs, sausage Bacon Almonds or peanuts Cheese (sticks, cubes, slices) Eggs…

Yes it's normal. Can last 3-5 days. Add back some electrolytes and increase your salt intake and it should clear up.

Yes definitely. Thought I hated broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini and brussels sprouts. Turns out I love them. But you'll never get me to let go of my hatred for raw tomatoes. I'm taking that to my grave. :smiley:

Always interesting to try different things and see how your body reacts. I love a big dinner and it has never prevented me from losing weight, but everyone is different. Good luck!

Avocado or hard boiled eggs would be really good to bulk up and keep you satiated. :smile:
