Yep subtract the fibre - best thing you can do is change your macro percentages in your settings :) If you search for items on MFP _ many of them have "net carbs" everything I search I look up by Net Carbs (some are wrong though!)

I bring: Lock for locker Towel Water bottle Headphones Notebook to record workouts It might be costly but I highly recommend a few personal training sessions to get you started. Good for you! Also check out Pinterest or Instagram for workout routines. I have had a gym membership for years but never committed to going until…

Above suggestions are great. I do: Bunless Burgers Caesar Salad with whatever meat choice you can get and no croutons Salad (Cobb) You can definitely get a pizza and not eat the crust, just get lots of toppings. Try to make it fun :)

I agree - I cut the cheese out of my morning breakfast scramble and a few other places - cut back on dairy...I'm just trying to limit it to improve my skin too. BUT ITS SO GOOD LOL

Look up "Pork Rind Waffles" or French Toast My daily breakfast is Eggs/Italian Sausage/Spinach & Cheese scramble with salsa and sour cream and COFFEEEEE :)

Let me know how it goes please! I do really like my dairy and I don't feel I am having THAT much of it to make a difference. I did 5 wks of KETO and lost 10 lbs (when nothing else worked). Cheated ONE weekend and now I'm back at square one again. Such is life

Awesome thank you! I think I am going to try no dairy next week. See how strict I can be :) LOL

My weight varies greatly due to cycle issues (no joke, up to 10 lbs a month). I'd say it's water weight. :)

Pork Rind "waffles" or "French toast" (I made similar to these as waffles last night and they were awesome): http://training.fitness.com/healthy-recipes/low-carb-keto-french-toast-51053.html

I add MCT Oil or Coconut Oil to my shakes Almond Milk is awesome Nut Butters are great (if you do nut butter)

I make a tex mex "scrabble" almost every day - I love it. Spinach or Kale (3 cups) Egg(s) Italian Sausage Tex Mex seasonings Top with (whatever you like: Cheese, avocado, salsa, sour cream) Pork Rind waffles or pancakes are also divine

Isn't that SO true! You are giving me so much hope! Thank you thank you thank you! I'm also suffering from TERRIBLE skin and hoping it will clear up SOON. How silly of me to "cheat" this weekend. On Saturday I had the best "fasted" workout, I actually got a "high" off of it! Then I went and ate carbs. Silly me. People…

SarraJune you are awesome!!! I do have them set up - when I started reading about Keto and decided to try it, I calculated the first couple days manually then realized I could change it in MFP!! What a life saver!!! For the 4-5 weeks I've done this I have had "cheats" where I binged and ate more than I should but I did…

Thanks so much rainbow! I try to log my planned food for the morning - and I usually leave 400 cals "open" for if I am hungry during the day (or snack when I am not hungry!) I usually workout REALLY hard and tonight was planning to go do some HIIT training but I am EXHAUSTED! I actually think I am more tired/head-achey…

Perfect response, thank you so much. I know I would over eat big time if I didn't count my calories (and it is SO easy to!) I really need to get my binging under control.

I made a chicken cordon bleu casserole this week that turned out great! Chicken (breasts or thighs, cut up into chunks) Cooked cubed ham (I have a few - 2 cup frozen bags of ham in my freezer from a family dinner) Whipping cream mixed with swiss cheese Bake for an hour at 350 (cover for the first 45 mins) SO good!

I am almost never "hungry" but I struggle with my love of food and HABITS I need to break. Currently I started doing a morning fast - whereas before I would have a large 700 calorie breakfast (even though I wasn't hungry) I am not just having a coffee with MCT oil/whipped cream and then saving my calories for later in the…

Thanks all for the help! I actually find it is finally "healing up" now with only a few more new spots this morning! If this clears up my ACNE I will be a lifer! I have always had "BAD" skin but it has NEVER been this bad. I definitely need to remember to drink more water! I made cucumber mint water for my first bottle…

Thank you so much!

I am on the pill and my period still started early, about a week. Again this month (1 full month of KETO), a week early!

I was also going to post this today! I read that you shouldn't eat your burn calories for strength training. I will eat extra if I am very hungry when I had cardio burn calories. If I'm hungry! Most days I am because I'm burning 500-900 cals some workouts. Try a heart rate monitor to get an accurate calorie burn. I have a…

I use Biosteel whey in chocolate Isofemme in creamy vanilla sky And I use Vega protein in my protein bakes and things I'm adding other flavours to

Thank you so much! I am going to be 100% dedicated to tracking and being honest about my tracking the next while and see how it goes! I usually drink 2-3 litres of water today, should drink more (bad with tracking that)! Thanks for the info about the 4-5 hours. I actually couldn't even believe it when she told me. Now when…

Thanks SARgirl! I recently moved to MyFitnessPal from Sparkpeople, that is where I was tracking previously Now I am just mad at myself thinking I've wasted months and how much further ahead I should be :(

RuffnStuff! Thank you! It's good to hear someone who went through what I am going through. I definitely need to track better. Back in January I was tracking and being EXTREMELY hard on myself, so my trainer told me to stop tracking for a month and take it easy. We figured I was SO stressed about it that I was raising my…

Thank you very much for your help. I'm going to continue to keep tracking hard. I haven't been eating my "burn" from my fitness (maybe only 50-100 calories and only if I'm actually HUNGRY). I'll check in again on this in a couple weeks:)

I opened my diary, I entered all the food I'm planning (and will) eat today because I have a lunch meeting and I have my dinner with me. I am also going to workout tonight so that will take over my small amount of being over in calories. This is pretty much how I eat every day. I really appreciate any POSITIVE help :)…

I will try to do that right now I just started tracking on MyFitnessPal ( I was tracking on Weight Watchers and Spark People previously) I'm really liking my Fitness Pal so far. Can anyone tell me what I should be actually eating for calories, everything tells me something different? 29 years old, 5'8-1/2", 215.6#'s (now)…

Yes I have had "bad days" but I don't feel they are outweighing the good. When I went for my quarterly consult everything had improved (inches lost, blood pressure, strength, body fat was lower) but my weight was up. The nutritionist didn't seem discouraged about it and told me to stop eating 4-5 hours before bed. I have a…

Thank you all for your help! I definitely have really good days and really bad days! I have been thinking about a hypnotist or something. With my training, my weight has been going UP (clothes aren't tighter) so I know I am gaining muscle but it is still discouraging and I wonder when the fat will come off and things will…
