I'm restarting my AIP journey after a gap of a few years. I'd love to support and be supported.

Ugh I just wrote a nice response and it got deleted. So I'll just say thanks. I'll try a snack before bed and a cut off time for beverages. I also don't drink caffeine but rarely and it wasn't caffeinated the other night.

I just started a couple of days ago. This is day 3 on keto for me. I used to use MFP occasionally for food tracking, but I'm finding it necessary with keto to keep the macros in mind. How's it going for you?

I've been eating baby carrots when I want something crunchy. Usually I want something salty and crunchy, but despite baby carrots being sweet, they seem to satiate me. I think it's because I associate veggies with being savory. Don't know if that's helpful...

Go for it! You're reminding me that I meant to try adding chicken to a smoothie myself. I thought a bland chicken breast might not really change the flavor, though no idea on the texture. I did not think to add any canned fish though. Fish would be too fishy to me to add to any kind of normal-for-me smoothie. Though if I…

I originally started three weeks ago and hoped to be starting week 4 tomorrow, but traveling for work and a non-Jillian injury put me out of commission for the last two weeks =( Getting through that week one was great though. Day one I had to stop a few times during…

PROTEIN! And make sure to eat some of the protein at the start of your meal before anything else; it's supposed to help stablize your blood sugar (so said my sister's doctor and a nutritionist I've seen). My nutritionist recommends at least 20g of protein per meal. Fats are important too. We need fat to survive, even…

I'm with you on the number of variables. It's frustrating. I don't know if I have a doctrine necessarily, but I know I've fallen off of the "typical American diet" bandwagon I was raised with and now follow a more sustainable and whole foods type of diet. Maybe I won't sweat the fat. It doesn't seem to have been hurting me…

Oh no, I hadn't previously though of added sugars versus natural sugars. Another variable! I typically don't eat a lot of sugar. Using MFP in the past made me realize my morning smoothie had a ton of sugar in it (almost all from fruit, only 6g from the protein powder). I revamped and stopped adding a whole banana and…
