Ive been keto for years now. I know I will never eat carbs the way I used to. But, eating carbs, I can't stop eating. It's a combo of impact on blood sugar combined with the fact that carbs do nothing for me nutritionally and when I am getting calories from carbs, in order to get enough protein and iron, I eat too many…

I'm all for it. There are so many things banned in other countries that have contributed to health issues here in the US.

I do keto, if, and some extended fasting. I also have a cheat weekend once a month where I eat all the carbs, even sugar. This is my second attempt at keto, the first time I didn't cheat once for 2 years, but I got stuck 70lbs in at 245, which is where I've gotten stuck with any effort to get in shape my entire adult life.…

Realizing I can now shop at thrift stores & find things in my size! That has been huge. I was able to get some winter coats for very little money that fit! I've gone shopping at thrift stores with thinner friends my entire adult life & watched them leave with piles of clothes for what I'd spend on two pieces while I…

ooo did I make it just in time for kinky hour? What do you wanna know about why we like it? It leads to mind blowing sex. Also, some of us are just wired this way. Sex & pain are inexorably linked for me.

Starting notes, just finished my first 48hr fast earlier this week (I'm keto). It was easier than expected & helped get things moving again. It went so well I have decided its something I want to repeat at least once a month. I expected a little bit of a gain once I started eating again & got about half a pound back before…

It does. I thought I was supposed to edit. You're awesome, thank you!

I'll give this a try. :) Thanks for setting this up. I always weigh everyday & I find it a huge help. Mostly because I also track every day. Being able to look back & see "oh...at this point in my cycle I tend to lose while I always bloat up a couple of pounds at this point" has saved me so much stress, confusing, and…

I've lost 37 so far, Somewhere between 75-120 left to go (really not sure where I'm going to want to be once I get down there. Its been 20+yrs since I was under 200lbs)

Hey, don't forget, the same volume of muscle weighs more than fat. If you're working out a lot, you might be losing fat but gaining muscle. Have you measured yourself? Or, do your clothes fit differently? Muscle is so nice to have!

For reasons maybe someone more knowledgable about MFP's forum system can explain? but i can't, I can't seem to edit my previous post again. Forgive the repeat but I'm lost.

Yes!! So much of that. I spent decades, literally, trying to follow the low fat, high carb model & was constantly hungry in a way that just keep getting worse & worse and more & more out of control. Various medications & health issues compounded it until, before I started keto, I couldn't get a feeling of satiety to last…

I am also the only keto-er in the house. My 22yr old (aspergers) lives at home with me & I have a 6yr old. My oldest sometimes cooks for himself, and my 6yr old is the pickiest child on the face of the planet I swear (its just a stage, right?? lol). As often as I can, I try to make meals that work for me that everyone can…

I want to say, I absolutely know there is a genetic component. I suspect there may be epigenetic factors as well. However, I believe a lot of the blame can be places on the insulin spikes caused by the massive amounts of sugar in our diets, hidden in foods that have not business containing sugar in the first place. I know…

That's interesting, I didn't know about that. Which only compounds the fact that BMI was never meant to be used the way it is. In fact, its creator (who designed it for statistical purposes across large populations) issued a warning with it that it should never be used as a health marker for individuals. Caused me all…

I'm 41 & I buy almost all of my clothes at eshakti.com. Personally, I stick with their woven cotton fabrics because they're more breathable & drape in more flattering ways than knits. Someone mentioned modcloth, I love the look of their clothes but they always use polyester fabrics & I don't like to sweat.

What's have you been doing? Have you used a calculator? Where are you keeping your carbs at? Happy to help, need more info! :)

Added some peeps, feel free to add me, looking for more keto friends.

Keto is sustainable. Some great groups on facebook for it if you do that, lots of people who have been keto for years(some groups are crazier than others, there is more than one way to keto despite what some of them say). I'm only a month in, I've lost 11lbs despite taking the week of thanksgiving off. Its the first time…

Try xylitol or ethrytol!!! I switched to xylitol myself years ago after buying a little to make toothpaste with & being absolutely shocked by how much like sugar it tastes. I don't like any of the other things you listed either. But xylitol was a complete game changer for me. (I plan to try ethrytol next month cause its…

Unless you're a very tiny person, yes, 60g is crazy low. I'm late to the conversation but I want to add my personal cautionary tale. Twenty-two years ago, I did this diet thing called "T-lite". At the time had just had my first son, before I had him however, I did a lot of weight lifting (20-30hrs a week, heavy weight…

I do want this, I Want to work out. Every time I go past a gym I sigh longingly. Believe me, once I get that membership, I've been down that road more than once, the pounds just start melting off. I'm incredible eager to get back in the gym. It will get better. Like I said, once the snow melts, I will go walking/jogging &…

Thanks. Music & energetic cleaning, that's not a bad idea. Certainly there are things I could clean around here! I've thought about videos, the trouble is I don't have a lot of space in my living room & I almost never have any privacy or uninterrupted time. Even just trying to do a few sets of crunches, I swear, my toddler…

Because I'm broke as hell. Long story but a family member "borrowed" money I had set aside to buy a new vehicle without asking, had a heart attack & couldn't pay me back. I ended up in debt & without transportation. I have no vehicle & no money to get a gym membership with. I'm working on trying to fix it all, but I'm on a…

I'm brand new, but I'm logging on every day. In fact, I'm staying logged on all day since I'm usually around my computer so I don't forget to write anything down!! Feel free to add me : )
