BUUUUMMPPP :flowerforyou:

I don't really have hunger sounds...I used too before when I was still eating the SAD, which makes me wonder if being in ketosis or this WOE makes a difference? I do find it's easier to fast when I'm already in ketosis - I'm not nearly as hungry, so maybe that's why I don't have the rumbling in my tummy :)

I'm fasting right now actually :) I drink green tea and water on my fast days. I have PCOS and am also insulin resistant and had reached a plateau of epic proportions even dialing in my nutrition and carbs. I fasted Friday, today, and plan to fast Wednesday and this Friday as well. After several weeks of being stuck, I am…

Toilet paper

my favorites are currently... Franks Red Hot - the sweet chili is my fave, but the buffalo and BBQ are good too Hot Mango Chutney - in the Indian cuisine section at Publix. Excellent on pork or chicken Sticky Fingers BBQ sauce Green Enchilada sauce - I cook my chicken in it and it makes it soooo good. Green Curry paste in…

I like making my own at Moe's (no shell, rice, or beans) and at Subway. I will also get a chargrilled chicken sandwich combo from chickfila, toss the bun, and put the chicken on a side salad (instead of fries). I am a salad junkie ;)

Personally? I go by body fat % instead of weight. Get a body fat % taken, and you can do the math to determine your lean body mass. Then you can determine if you want to be 18% body fat (as an example) and get your ideal weight. Scale weight is just a number! You could be 100 lbs of lean mass and carrying around 30ish…

Congratulations on your fantastic (muscle/water) loss! You are quite literally on a 100% carb diet right now. Consider yourself "reset" and find some balance so you can stick it out for the long haul. I'm all for the psychological impact of a quick initial loss, but what happens when that isn't "working" for you anymore,…

get as many carbs from veggies as you can. Stick to low glycemic fruits like berries, avoid flour, soda, pasta, tortillas, chips, corn, potatoes. If you must eat grains make them brown. Stay away from the processed junk and even artificial sweeteners as much as you can. Eat clean as much as you can. For PCOS you want to…

Paleo as f**k! LOL! Sign me up...I've been taking too many liberties with Primal (HWC anyone?), and have been slipping towards just low carb - hitting the artificial sweeteners. Generally just too much emphasis on low carb instead of overall health. I weighed today (I only weigh monthly anyway to keep me sane), and I will…

speak to me...what does the Whole 30 entail? I'm totally interested.

I never misunderstood. It really isn't about the calories. I still don't agree with you, because I could eat 2300 calories a day carb restricted and burn fat and my body composition would change and I would look much different than eating 2300 calories of pop tarts. But I really don't care anymore. I believe that excess…

It would be very difficult if not impossible to eat 4,000 calories from protein and fat alone. I know I couldn't do it. I would "weigh" more just from the volume of the food. But would they promote fat gain? not necessarily. Would it be healthy for ME? not necessarily. Am I also body building while eating this 4,000…

Just FYI, I have never once visited an Atkins website or bought an Atkins product. I do not follow Atkins, he does not own the idea of low carb living, and that stuff isn't "food." I can give you my sources, but they are these things called "books", and the authors did a great job of compiling decades of research here...…

What makes you think eating this way is hard for me? I feel the best I've ever felt in my life and I'm never hungry. I like the way I live and the way I eat.

Dude, you missed the point of Fat Head then. He ate 100g of carbs a day or less and lost all that weight without watching his fat. THIS IS MY POINT EXACTLY! He didn't watch his calories, he watched his CARBS. I"m on this site to count my carbs, thanks very much, and I have a lot of friends here that eat like I do and I…

I'm not scared of carbs. I just know how they affect me, and many many many others like me. When I reach my goal body composition, I will go back to eating carbs from veggies, fruits, nuts, etc to the tune of 100-150g a day for maintenance. But for fat loss, which is my current goal, I will stay well below 100g. I did…

Ha! there's the problem!!! Government trust!! LOL!!

:) Thanks for the clarification

WRONG. You will have a reduction in WEIGHT. possibly. if you consume more carbs than your body needs to burn, you will store those carbs as FAT. When insulin is circulating, th hormonal response to release stored body fat is halted because the brain is saying "carbs must be available because insulin is here". So your body…

ditto watching "Fat Head"... it's free on Hulu too... www.hulu.com/watch/196879/fat-head Another resource, is Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes. Read it and it will change the way you think about the overweight completely.

200 Calories is 200 Calories. Right? “What’s that in the road ahead?” vs. “What’s that in the road!? A head!?” Context is important. Many people think weight loss is simply about cutting calories. But context counts here, too. Calories do have context and that’s what I want to explore today. Is a calorie from fat the same…

This is so untrue. Carbs absolutely can make you fat - in fact they are the single macro that does control fat gain/loss becase unlike protein and fat, they are the only macro that create an insulin response. When insulin is present in the body, the body can't release stored body fat until all carbs are either burned or…

I don't remember the exact circumstances but I remember the line... My mom : "you were so pretty in high school." Thanks. I also get the "well you've had kids"... explanation given by many well meaning people about my body. My sister in law who is a size 0, gave me a subscription to a fitness magazine two Christmases ago.…

I try to focus on what makes me want to overeat in the first place, and I don't try to overly deprive myself. Eat a realistic amount of food! If you're starving, it makes it harder not to go on an eating streak!

Under the "goals" menu you can customize your settings. I do low carb myself, but you should be eating protein according to your lean body mass. If your lean body mass (Scale weight - (body fat % x Scale Weight)= lean mass) is 110 pounds, you should be eating 77 g of protein as an average and as much as 110 g to support…

So proud to call you one of my mfp friends! You have worked so hard and are doing awesome! You are an inspiration to me: ) Great job! Lets have a get together in onederland okay? See you there soon!

Hi Samb, I'll add my low carb/Primal testimony :) I suffer from PCOS (I had an ovary removed in December 2008 due to a 15 pound cyst!!!!), Insulin Resistance, and with each child I carried (5 of them) I had Gestational Diabetes. The GD diet that I was put on meant I had to eat almost 200 g of carbohydrates a day, and take…
