UUUGGGHHHH Night time munchies are the WORST! I have the same problem. My food diary will be perfect up until about 8pm when I know I should stop eating, but my brain and tummy are like "NEED.FOOD.NOW". Mostly junks too. Sometimes when my stomach starts to growl I will give in because I'm weak, but other times I know it's…

Hi! My name is Ihi (pronounced ee-hee). I've done Keto before in the past, but unfortunately wasn't able to stick to it because I am weak and I love my carbs and sugars. But I really, really need to lose weight. I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and insulin resistant (not diabetic... yet). I am currently 412lbs. My…

I, too, am starting for the 88th time. Except it's probably my 888th time at this point lmao. My name is Ihi (pronounced ee-hee). I'm 32 years old and I have about 200lbs to lose if I'm going for my ultimate goal weight. I currently weigh about 412lbs. My short-term goal is to get under 400lbs. I am hoping to reach that…

I've heard that Optimum Nutrition is pretty good, though I haven't tried the products yet myself. My absolute favorite protein is Trutein. I've been ordering from them for a couple years now. They have all kinds of flavors, all of which are DELICIOUS. It has whey, casein and egg protein and low sugars. And again, it tastes…

BACON.

Ugh, you are all so amazing... thank you all SO VERY MUCH for the plans/ideas, I'll probably take a bit from everyone and hope to utilize the info on a daily basis. I know it all seems so easy/simple, but I'm so scatterbrained at times, thinking about meal planning and figuring out what to eat is just such a stressor to me…

I'd refrain from buying so much at once. :) There's a couple different ways you could go about doing it. Suppose you could binge and scarf it all up in one day and be done with it. Or you could freeze it and hope that it still tastes worth the calories when you're ready to eat it.

I take mine a couple different ways: 1. Simple coffee with several TB of french vanilla (or specialty flavor) creamers. 2. I have a low carb mocha mix that I blend with chilled coffee/espresso, half and half and sugar free chocolate syrup. Sometimes I'll mix in Torani syrups to mix flavors... coconut, choc. peanut butter,…

Thank you all very very much for your replies and kind words. I took her to an appointment today with a behavior health specialist and unfortunately I couldn't be there during the initial interview with my sister, but my mother and I were pulled in afterwards to express our concerns and learn about some things the…

Yuck. I don't think I could ever drink that stuff again lol oyadancing - I did 2TB of Kerrygold unsalted grass fed butter, and 1TB of organic coconut oil, and some ground arabica coffee I had laying around. I mixed it in a blender until frothy like the directions told me to. First one was just plain like that, then I tried…

Nevermind, I think I might have found the original recipe on http://www.bulletproofexec.com/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/. The website wasn't working for me last time I tried to look at it... but it's working now, I assume that be it. Thanks all!

Hmmmmmm....I really appreciate all the responses. MelRC117 - I didn't realize they had a lower carb drink! That might solve my problem lol Dragonwolf - Thank you for the information... considering all the responses I got regarding the Bulletproof Coffee, I might just give it a try now. I've seen several variations of the…

I have no suggestions or advice to offer you that hasn't already been said... but I just want to say THANK YOU for your services and for my freedom, and I wish you the best of luck. :)

I absolutely love green beans. But not frozen, nor canned... must be fresh, and should still have a bite when cooked! I'm doing low sugar/carb so I like to fry it up with some coconut oil or butter, with onions and crispy bacon. Mmmmmmf!

I would seriously kick some major @$$, without hesitation. My little sister was fat shamed all throughout elementary and most of high school before she dropped out because she was so ashamed of herself. She was over 300lbs and is now at 140lbs, but now she struggles with borderline anorexia. She cannot force herself to eat…

TRUTEIN! By Body Nutrition. I've heard that Optimum Nutrition is really good, but unfortunately I haven't had the chance to try it yet. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE protein though is Trutein by Body Nutrition (bodynutrition.com)... it is... absolutely... heavenly. As long as you mix it up completely (I use a blender bottle), and I…

Wow... I had no idea how much fat I should be consuming in comparison to protein/carbs. I'm somewhat hesitant to increase my fat intake so much... but I'll try it. Another question... I know that most low carbers don't count calories, but if you're using MFP and counting carbs, I imagine you'd still know the answer to…

Truscience/Body Nutrition Magic Pudding... 11g carbs, 28g protein. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it's VERY sweet. It has sucralose, so if you're sensitive to artificial sweeteners, you may not like it. But I'll have a serving with a couple dollops of whipped cream, and the cream takes away some of the…

Nah, I wouldn't bother with the program, however, I must say that I LOVE the Spark energy drink. It's the only energy drink that's worked for me. It's given me (almost) instant energy, but not just physically, it's more of a cognitive, mental energy, which I loved on days I worked mornings (SO not a morning person). But it…

I usually try to eat a smaller breakfast because I tend to have most of my cravings later at night and if I eat too much in the morning I will surely overeat at night. However, the last couple days I've been having a 4 egg omlette with chopped mixed peppers and onions and 4 chicken sausage patties, which comes to be about…

I would just suck it up and continue taking it in a green smoothie/juice until you run out. I couldn't imagine adding it to any foods, that makes me want to gag in my mouth just by thinking of it. I have a green drink mix that's quite off putting as well. I usually mix it with zero calorie juice powders and water. Or a low…

Rileysowner - Good point... I am rather flabby and weak lol Starting light might be good... wouldn't want to injure myself before I even begin lol Thank you.

Thank you Eric_sg61 - sounds like a decent answer. I assume it wouldn't hurt to increase the amount of sets per work out if it turns out to be too little... as long as the muscles get fatigued without compromising correct form?

One of my new favorites is about 4 cups of the pre-made sugar free jello with about 1/4c of light whipped cream/cool whip. Low cal (about 120?), low carb and delicious!

Here's a great website that has TONS of smoothie recipes, and you can choose to look for recipes that include a certain fruit/flavor: http://www.incrediblesmoothies.com/green-smoothie-recipes/ I LOVE SMOOTHIES!! :)

Here's my favorite: 1 can of V8 Fusion Blueberry Pomegranate energy drink (50 cals) 1/3c frozen blueberries 1/2 frozen banana 1/3c frozen raspberries 1c spinach 1-3 TB hemp seeds .5c Fage greek yogurt This exact recipe usually turns out to be about 400 calories. Sometimes I'd rather not have so many calories in a smoothie,…

No, no carbs in diet soda. I know many people that drink a lot of diet soda. Personally, the carbonation helps me keep full so instead of snacking on junk I'll just drink a diet soda and call it good. While it helps my sweet cravings at times, it also does the complete opposite and make me crave sweets even more. When…

Agreed. And personally, speaking from the jealous fat girl's perspective (I'm 340lbs), it really is insulting to us REAL fat girls. Of course, weight gain in general would be upsetting for everyone, but for people that really don't have much to lose, or people that are already in pretty good shape and gained a measley…

Let him think and say what he wants. Do what you gotta do, and get over your insecurity about what everybody else says/thinks about you. It doesn't matter. Do what's best for you. It's nobody elses business.
