Needing this for inspiration...you all look fantastic!

This is an excellent thread...looking forward to having time to read through it :)

bumping for later :)

You all look wonderful....:)

If you only eat egg whites...you will miss the best for you part of the egg. The yolk has nutrients that are good for your eyes and skin...eat the whole egg :)

I eat at least 2 eggs a day...my cholesterol is low... bad is actually 70. Eggs do not contribute to it. Carbs do...white bread and sugar. They cause both triglycerides and cholesterol to go up. Causes inflammation too.Exercise is a key factor also...but what you put in should be good, whole foods. Eggs are :) so enjoy…

Because of all the helpful information in reply to my question....my meals now have more variety....and are more nutrient rich...I feel more balanced with good food..still low carb. Thank you all for trying to help and offering suggestions. Really appreciated!

Thank you...I have had all checked...been on meds and antibiotics... off all now...they didn't work..even one antibiotic cost 598.86 for 7 days that insurance didn't cover. I felt like they tried to get me better..just couldn't figure it out..that's why I am trying this. He is trying to get my body to heal itself. I have…

Wish there was a like button on some of your suggestions...I truly appreciate you all taking the time from your day to offer help. I have been on MVP for 3 yrs..I think this is only the 2nd time I have posted a question. Thank you all for offering suggestions . Much appreciated!

I will try the pork skins...I am not eating enough calories at the moment...so calories will help.

Lol...never thought of hose...things like that were not on my " healthy " diet .

No restriction on fiber....just can't eat enough low carb veggies to get the fiber...I stay full from the meat.

I never had a problem until my stomach flipped and they did the surgery...could be gallbladder related .

I did have my gallbladder out...they removed it when I had the diaphragm repair. I was eating high fiber...25-30 grams per day until this low carb thing....that is something I am struggling with getting on this diet. Just too much meat ..but I will get through the 18 weeks. Thanks.

Thank you! I know its do able...just not something I am familiar with

Wheat is definitely not anyone's friend....not the same wheat our grandmother's used to eat.

Its like eating an apple and a small potato...72 grams gone. I have seen the " real doctors" ... tired of their "I don't know..try this...take this med see if it helps" had enough...and its a low carb diet.

Oh...and this is through a nutrition center.

The diet at this moment is set up for me to eat 72 grams of carbs...no sugar..wheat..high carb veggies etc. wheat has been a very sparce part of my diet...I do miss my oatmeal..with chia seeds and fruit. High carb fruits are out :( that about sums it up

I have been to a gas to Dr....I had a hole open in my diaphragm 4 yrs ago and my stomach flipped up beside my heart and had to be put back in place...they "patched" the hole...but have had issues ever since. This diet has helped....but was doing OK right before I started this diet. He says it is a way of healing the body.…

* I have been checked for everything....nothing shows. I have been tested off an on by 3 doctors over a 4 year period....I just want my life back. They all say just take Imodium . That would be great if it worked. This is really my last hope ....or I feel that way..... it controls my life.

I have had my fill of regular doctor...just says "live" with it ( diarrhea). This doctor is trying to help my body heal itself. It us an 18 week program....willing to try it to see if I get help. I just need help with what to eat. Breakfast is the only no carb meal.

Congratulations on a great body transformation! You look fabulous! But most of all congratulations on a spiritual transformation....happiness comes from within...no one can give that to you...but you :) Keep smiling...and God bless!
