Got my containers yesterday, am ready to start but would LOVE a meal plan if someone is willing to share. I'm on the 1200 cal plan

Hi, I'm not quite 50, but am close enough to figure I can chime in. I've really struggled the past 9 months and like the OP, I'll see the scale drop 2 - 3 pounds and then jump right back to where I started with no understanding of why. I can tell I'm getting near menopause and wish I could expedite the process.

Jessicasmithtv (on you tube) has good workouts. Lots of dvds out there, you can try your local library to see if there is something you like. You could also check out books on home workouts. you can do, dips, push-ups, curls, triceps extensions, flys, lateral raises, etc. It really depends on what you are looking for. If…

I saw a couple of posts from people who said they had to stay near a bathroom for the first week or so. Is this true for you?

interested.. started today

Although I love blue cheese, I sometimes use Buttermilk Ranch instead. It's yummy. Friend a bunch of keto people and then you can stalk their diaries. Also, check out some of the keto blogs/pinterest boards for ideas. www.ruledme.com www.ibreatheImhungry.com http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/ are a few popular ones. I…

I hurt my lower back last year. It was so bad that I went to an RFC instructor and requested advice on my form. Found out that my form was spot on. However, the instructor was also a movement specialist and asked me to walk, stretch, etc. I found that my glutes and hamstrings were very tight. My left glute is all out of…

I'm on week 2, day 2. I didn't do all of week 1 - I think I skipped lower focus. This was due to the fact that I'm adjusting to working out in the mornings and I overslept. I did Total Body today and that one kicks my butt. My shoulders are fried from the pushups/spiders/oblique push ups.

hi, I think you may be eating to few calories, and this is coming from someone who eats 1200 per day. I actually hate when people say that, but I'm saying it because you've been eating so few calories for so long. As a doc, I'm assuming you are on your feet most of the day, therefore you probably need 1500 - 1800 calories…

Mine is open. Personally, I don't think many people are looking at my diary - why would they? However, it's there if someone wants to check for new ideas (not likely to get them from me, but you never know). I occasionally check other people's diaries for inspiration, but I don't look at them to judge food choices.

Exactly! I admit to hating that I can't easily find nutrition information, even for some chain restaurants. However, I don't want a law that some gov't department would have to oversee (which costs money) and then fine companies who aren't compliant, etc.

I would guess it's fine. Lots of people eat coconut oil or drink a BPC for additional fat.

Cocoa Puffs mixed with Frosted Flakes I did use skim milk though. :)

Well done!

Hi, are you new to Keto? Most of us doing Keto monitor our carbs and stay fairly low. I don't know how many also have diabetes. I do not.

I've seen a bunch of stuff I'd like to try. Most of the stuff I've seen is on FB. However, we FINALLY have a rain free mild weekend, so I'll be spending as much time as possible outside and not indoors cooking. I have trees to replant, soccer games to go to and a Sikha festival to attend.

Way to go! I'm happy you are seeing success in many areas.

A lot of women, at the gym I sometimes go to, wear cute outfits or yoga pants, etc. I'm in long shorts (think soccer or basketball shorts) and a baggy t-shirt. I think, to each his/her own. Some people are motivated by outfits, some people prefer comfort, etc. I don't judge others (unless they are only their to flirt or…

you look great!

I'm not a person who likes to cook either. I go to Kroger and get their precooked shredded chicken, unbreaded fried chicken and eat a lot of it during the week. I do get individual chicken breast from Market day and will fry them up in Saute Express butter or regular butter and sometimes even an egg wash with Parmesan…

There are a couple of boards dedicated to keto. Search and then click on join and you will have the support of a lot of like-minded people.

Do a search for Keto groups on here. you'll get the support you want/need from others who enjoy a LCHF lifestyle.

Taken from another poster in the Keto group: http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ That will help you calculate your minimum protein.

Good post!

More than likely, your salt intake was considerably higher than it was when you ate at home. Most places salt their burgers, eggs, etc. I'd guess you retained a bit of water and because you were drinking less than usual it stayed with you. Give it a few days at home, with increased water consumption and see if that helps.

Well done and Congratulations!

I did 2 Ufit workouts.. Hard Body Blast and 6 pack abs.

Congratulations!!!

Good luck! One day at a time, or maybe even one meal at a time. It gets easier.
