I try to stay around 20 carbs per day but sometimes its upto 50. You get used to it.

I am 5'3 and currently 122lb, used to be 112 for years. I am happy at 122lb but of course I would just love to see 112 again.

I am 3months in ketoing and feel good now, but I was extremely tired and lethargic for a long time after starting. I even needed to eat a bit more some days. Potassium and magnesium helped but it just took time. Some days even 2 months in I had to have a nap in the afternoons. But it does get better so keep going, I feel…

1-2 litres a day, I find its enough

OP I have been on a ketogenic diet for 3 months now and its fantastic! Started at 143lb and now weigh 122lb I am at goal weight. Happy to maintain now.i I intend staying away from carbs forever due to insulin problems. I missed them at first but gien how well I feel now I see no reason to eat carbs other than vegetable…

Just sent request to join too please:smile:

I started 29th Mach this year and lost slower than most but did loose rather than gain in the begining. I lost about 3lb the first week I think which I was very happy with. I weigh myself constantly- don't know why but the odd time I would gain a pound or two from one day to the next but then it would go again. Also I…

Thanks save

Well I spent about 30 years at 112lb and it never budged no matter what I ate, UNTIL I hit 38-40 yrs old and then I let it slide a bit and in May his year I weighed 140lb and nothing fitted. 5ft 3 and range is 105-140lb according to info So my goal was to get to 124-130lb as my clothes fit at this weight. I have reached…

Try adding a little fat in youe diet, that won't give you any sugar or protein.

I won't be re-introducing carbs since my body can't cope with them. Why on earth would I eat carbs when they make me feel so awful and affect my insulin so much. I am still trying to loose a few more pounds but thats it then, I will increase my food to halt weight loss but it won't include carbs. Granted this way of living…

Our bodies do not need sugar at all. In fact our body is able to produce glucose from protein molecules! It is a biochemical synthesis pathway. Energy is way better now than it was with sugar, I have to add though that I am carbohydrate sensitive and sugar causes an over production of insulin in my body folloowed by a…

I eat no sugar and keep to <20g carbs and feel fantastic. In 8-9 weeks I lost 14lb with no exercise. I eat lots of protein and fat, whicj includes meat, eggs, veg, dairy, fish, some fruit and hope never to touch bread/pastries/cereals ever again. I am following a ketogenic diet and love it.

OMG I wish I had a problem of trying to reach 1200 cals, my problen is trying to stick to 1400. I find that I actually crave more food than I am getting. I am doing low carb now for about 10 weeks and its a struggle.

Down to 129lb from 143lb 5ft 3 47yrs always had big thighs so they are here to stay. Hope to maintain now esp for holidays July 6th. Close up pic really shows my big belly, but I'll just have to get used to that too.

I have lost 11lb in 8 weeks and I am only noticing a physical difference now, no one else has yet. So keep going it'll happen any day now.

Well done, what a huge difference it makes. You are brilliant!

Click FOOD, go into SETTINGS then GOALS, then CHANGE GOALS, put in new macros, and save.

Even if your sister doesnt join you, you can do it. I'm the only one here not eating carbs and although its hard, I find if I'm in the right frame of mind its ok.

Added more fat, lots water and was still fairly hungry. I ate ~1600 cals and then felt ok. I am 5ft 3 and for weight loss should be eating 1100-1400 but think I'll stick to a higher amount for now anyway making it up with fat and see how that goes

Thank you all so much :smile: , from what you have said 1) I am not adding enough butter and coconut oil to my coffee, need way more 2) I am not taking enough water so I will increase that 3) The bread type things have 2 net carbs and buns and bread I make myself with coconut and almond flour but I will take on board that…

Yes I'm at those % for carbs, protein and fat but find it hard to keep protein from going over.

Can I have your left over calories? :-) I need a few more, I am finding it hard to limit myself to 1400

Well done to all who made it, unfortunately I didn't. I am going to try now for May

I'm in Ireland, would love the company...

Thanks, have to wait til tomorrow, I'm from Ireland and have binged today already.

Ditto, Ive binged big time for the last 4 days too. Feel rotten today and ready to cop on again now. We can do it!!

Im 47 and just take a look at the last 4 days in my diary and see my binges! Have used mfp before but would stop once I'd binge and so would spiral out of control. This time I was doing well up until 4 days ago, but what's different this time is that I logged my binges- as much as I can remember. Its shocking to see it. I…

Ive binged for the last 4 days and logged it all. Scary stuff, huge calories! Today I feel rotten, have had enough, so tomorrow its back to low carb.
