Thank you :)

I'm much more sedentary than I used to be so maybe my calories are too high and maybe try and cut down on sugar in my tea etc and replace with more protein then. Find it hard to get motivated for exercise after working long hours sat on my bum in an office, I often don't finish till midnight and wouldn't like to walk home…

Was more dieting advice I was after rather than taking the mickey out of my years old profile pic :)

Yes changing my profile pic is something I've been meaning to do!

Vegetable stew made from bone broth, dishes made with heart, liver and any other offal that you don't find offensive! Tongue, oxtail, scrag end all very cheap. Eating like this is the only way we can afford grass fed but we're probably healthier for it!

One of the ingredients in your lite dressing is spices, just an idea but MSG is often called "spices" to hide it, that can make you hungry after you've eaten

Thanks everyone, will look into the lite salt

Yep, cystitis

I take a small amount in a glass of water most days, not been ill once since I've been doing it. Also works wonders for water infections. I think like a lot of things overdoing it wouldn't be good but with my various "old wives tales" I manage to keep myself and my family away from lining the pharmaceutical companies…

Atkins bars, they always made my weight go up. Shame cos they're yummy!

Thanks, hoping that's what it is, maybe I'll have one of those whooshes that people talk about!

Hi, I've just started atkins induction too, on day 6 but seem to be going up in weight each day?!! TOM so would that have anything to do with it? Grateful for any advice!

Weight seems to be going up by 2lb a day at the mo! Now I know I'm not eating enough for that to happen and carbs are low, it is my TOM so maybe that's it. I'll try keeping calories down to 15000 and see what happens

Thanks, some days I'm just hungry and go waaay over what I think I need as a 5'3 woman, other days it's easier to stick to 15000 cals. Only started weighing myself yesterday so I guess i'll see soon if i'm doing it right or not!

Hi, would also like keto friends so please anyone add me, especially interested in seeing other peoples food diaries for ideas and guidance!

Sorry I should have said Portsmouth UK in the title!

What does it taste like? In my head I think it's going to be like natural yoghurt.

I've had a weekend full of vodka and cookies!!!! Proud that I've swapped the diet coke with my vodka for soda water and the cookies were almond flour/ dark chocolate. I know I won't have lost any weight this weekend but I made better choices than I would have before paleo! Congratulations on making the commitment to start…

Hi, I know this thread is a bit old now but came across it as I've noticed the same thing happening to me. I can be at a plateau for weeks, I know I'm building muscle and getting smaller but still weigh myself out of curiosity! I've noticed when I really fancy something a bit naughtier than usual I'll always break through…

Hi, I had the lightheaded thing too, my blood pressure has always been on the low side of normal. After lots of googling the subject I added more sea salt to my diet, that sorted the problem out.

Bump..anyone? Would really appreciate responses!

get on the floor and copy everything your 2 yr old does, you'll burn loads of cals!!!

Bump...

Wow. You all seem to be on such low cals. I was eating 1500 per day but didn't seem to be losing on that much, then I bought a Ki Fit (UK equiv to body media fit) which showed me i'm actually burning about 2500 cals per day (and I thought I was sedentary/lightly active!) So i'm now eating 2000 cals per day and losing about…

Well done you!! It's a great feeling, i've just dug out some of my pre-preggers clothes and so pleased to be wearing them again!! Looking good in my wedding dress in july is currently motivating me!

There is NO WAY on this earth that your TDEE is 1470. I'm 5'3 and mine is 2400, and I don't work out! Walking is my excercise. Try running your TDEE and BMR numbers on a different site, also looked through your diary and it's my opinion too that you're not eating enough. I eat 1800-2000 each day. Good luck, I hope you get…

I'll have a look at your numbers for you if you like, how old are you and how many days per week do you work out and how long for? Also are you sedentary or active?

Feel free to nose around my diary!!
