Ok i thought I was the only one who noticed increased pain when I made the switch to LCHF

I just had my physical Monday . My doctor wants to monitor me because when I started at 271 I had very high cholesterol and she's concerned with the high fat intake .

Thank you for the helpful tip !!

Thanks ! I'm going to try grams now.

My food diary does. If you look at the entries some of them have grams or ounces in parenthesis next to the cup or half or spoon or slice. Some entries I couldn't find in grams and so I just chose what came up first. I tend to over estimate just in case .

No I am from the US lol but my culinary education leaned heavier on ounces than grams for measurement

BTW why grams. I usually prefer ounces. a lb is a lb no matter how you measure it. Grams is usually used for science like baking. In culinary school we didn't use grams too often. Curious to know why you chose grams for measurement

I see what you're saying, however, my calories are super low. So I wanted to make sure that I wasn't eating too low to avoid weight loss. Liquids are measured in a liquid measuring cup always but I'm not always around access to my food scale i.e. if I am at my moms house, all she has is measuring cups & spoons etc. I'm…

Yes I am positive. I am a chef. I use food scales and measuring tools

i am not restricting calories, i simply am just not as hungry on low carb. I can't force myself to eat or i get nauseous

this is my new project :) I am so happy to have this community at my finger tips

Unfortunately, the only reason why i am doing the low low carb aka induction phase for atkins or the requirements for keto is because I was told not to go above 20 grams until I am close to my ideal weight

Guess this is going to my new hobby ! Thanks !

That's what I'm going to have to do. My father gets on me about being a chef and culinary graduate lol .... I'm a lazy chef HAHHHA thank you so much !

Thanks everyone for all the helpful advice!

I did salad my first week. I can't even force myself to eat salad anymore :( OOO I totally forgot about spaghetti squash!!!! THANK YOU! and I love hummus. I never thought hummus was low carb. Thank you for this help!

I've been doing that though since the beginning of my diet. Meal prep isn't my weak point its coming up with different food options. I've done "tacos" and I cant eat another lettuce wrap lol. I have eaten too many burgers so I'm good on that. Fish and seafood I burned myself out. Its like my body gets bored easily. I want…

I'll have to look because I haven't found anything I necessarily like. Low carb under 20 grams isn't a lot of options. Meat cheese vegetables and some dairy . Boredom is the problem

That's the problem is everything most people list I don't/won't eat. I'm not a fan of deli meats . Veggies I can do but they only have but so many calories even with butter. It feels like all im eating is meat and cheese and butter and it's getting boring lol I don't believe this to be the way I will be most healthy I just…

20 .

Mmmm thank you for those tips

I started lifting and I gained weight and I'm at a deficit and drink a lot of water . Maybe I'm different

Yes I have one

143 lbs - 150 lbs

Hey SororZ! Spring 09/ Sigma Nu #7 Tail C7ub!!!!! My goal weight is 150 lbs ... My starting weight or highest weight is 271.

17 lbs down in two weeks! If I slow down I'm ok because losing 17 lbs before took months

Thanks I added you

Good Grief how much water weight do I have hahahaha. If I could lose another 25 lbs at this rate that would be awesome...but i think I am a little too optimistic hahah

I am 5"7. Yes, my goal is 147lbs. I'm well aware I have a ways to go :neutral: , I was just concerned about practically losing a little over lb a day. So far i am now down 16.6 in 11 days.

Thanks!
