I keep it under control with a High Fat Low Carb diet. It works for me.

Dr Atkins did not have an MI. He slid on ice walking with a colleague, hit his head and died from injuries.

Doing LCHF and it's working beautifully. But it isn't automatic yet. I need to plan all I eat.

I've been attempting to eat Keto LCHF since early Oct. Yes, it does take some doing. My goal is 65% fat/30%protein/5%net carbs. And I want it at 1600 calories. What I have learned in the month is to determine what vegetables I want for the day, usually eaten at lunch and dinner. Then add protein, to breakfast, lunch and…

Thanks everyone for the inspirational posts. I started 16/8 fast last Friday. It's a bit of a struggle right now,but I'm motivated to keep going.

Getting old will get rid of face fat. The only thing you can do to get rid of a double chin once you are at your goal weight is plastic surgery.

Would help to know the type of diet/food you eat. As a low carber who also counts calories my travel food includes: hard boiled eggs turkey pepperoni small can tuna with packets of mayonnaise - don't forget plastic forks cut up raw veggies but no dip jello snack cups - don't forget the plastic spoons unsalted nuts but not…

I'm in. :) CW 245 lbs GW 235 lbs Had been doing Jenny Craig since Feb. Lost 7 lbs in Feb and 5 lbs in March but nada in April. Was getting bored with food and begain cheating. So to get things moving along I switched to low carb 2 days ago. I plan on staying on low carb for about 2 weeks.

You look fantastic. Don't change a thing. :wink:

Weigh in 251.8 as of this morning. Yeah yeah yeah its Tuesday. :ohwell:

Don't give up.

I am having the same problem. Too much fiber is my problem. I am drinking prune juice which is doing its job nicely. :)

Good luck with that. It did not work for me. YMMV

I'm not seeing a one-to-one ratio in my calorie intake/weight loss results or in my activity vs sedentary days. I'm losing faster than predicted. So I think the answer is it depends on how your own body's response.

You look wonderful. And hubby's face looks a bit thinner from one Christmas photo to the next. A power couple for sure. And thank you for the diet tips too. It does help a great deal.

I love the Atkins diet. No need to be hungry on Atkins. Just eat some more protein, but don't binge on it. Do stay away from the so-called low carb products. Most of them are awful and curtail weight loss. The sugar alcohol does miserable things to the digestive track. Unfortunately I am was only able to lose 20 lbs on…

Can't wait until I can do the same. Great job on the weight loss.

Depends on which diet plan you are on. I'm on a moderate carb/1800 calorie diet. When I'm hungry beyond my daily goal, I eat protein to surpress hunger. If I eat carbs it will only increase my appetite. But your milage may vary. Need to experiment with your food intake to see how your body reacts.
