I agree with your reply. I love the phone app with the pie chart showing the breakdown of fat/protein/carbohydrates. My daily caloric intake is 1200 calories with a carbohydrate goal of 25%. I like the reminders if I exceed my goal, and I can modify my next meal.

You may also need more calcium. Calcium supplementation is recommended due to loss of bone density as we grow older.

I know what you mean. It was hard to make myself eat the 1200 cal of "good" food with low carbs. I had a counselling session with the nurse at my clinic. She wants me to eat every 2 hours with protein or fat at each meal, 3 meals with 2 snacks. It's still hard. If you don't eat more, you will be in starvation mode and your…

I know what you mean. I still have my Marine Corp Ball gown from 1977, that I purchased in the Philippines.

Congratulations. I hope I can say the same thing next year when I go to Dragon Con again. Maybe I won't need to use a scooter and run over my daughter's feet again.

If you want more information on this you can access sites on the internet, Byron J Richards has a book "Mastering Leptin: Your Guide to Permanent Weight Loss and Permanent Health"; Dr Charles Webb has "Metamorphosis" and there…

You might try an exercise program to build muscle without over training. I'm sure there are a lot of these programs available. I am using Charles Webb's "Metamorphosis" as my guide for nutrition and exercise. His exercise program is 30 to 40 minutes three days a week. Muscle burns calories even while you are at rest.

I can understand your frustration. I have been on a low carb diet for a little over a month now. My calories for wt loss of about 1 1/2 lbs per week is 1200 cal. I am having difficulty getting to 1000 cal/day, since I don;t like vegetables unless they are cooked. I'm also getting very tired of chicken. Fruits have so many…

I agree. It is so hard to maintain a low carb diet. I am not to use artificial sweeteners and I really don't like vegetables unless they care cooked. (preferably Southern style). You can see why I have almost 100 lbs to lose like a lot of people in Mississippi. How do you make food more appetizing? So far I have been using…
