Funny story, I came here to ask a similar question. Although today I believe I'll be running to catch up and get back on. Yesterday I was cooking and made shepard's pie for my family. I had a few nibbles of the mashed potatoes that go with it and didn't stress out. Telling myself that my body would use up the little bit of…

just don't beat yourself up too bad and remember that 8lbs is mostly water and will fall off in 2 weeks or less. I had a glass of milk last night and I was already up by a lb. Unless you legitimately ate 3,111 calories OVER maintenance per day then it's ALL water.

Dr. Eric Berg has a list of items that "...will kick you out of ketosis..." and soy sauce was one of them.

1st Look for other employment. Don't advertise it. Just start looking. Start making a plan to get out. You take care of you and start distancing yourself emotionally. Wash YOUR clothes (not his), wash your dishes and not his. Set up your bank account to save money every day. Whatever you can afford. You can put $1 a day…

Smell them and walk away. I know it sounds crazy but when I have a craving I find a way to smell the food then tell myself how this will effect my goals then walk away. Believe it or not this is a method used for cigarette addicts to help them deal with their cravings. Basically it helps them learn to ride the wave of…

I just think I'm sensitive to calorie adjustments. I'm a 40yo 5'3" woman who's roughly 80lbs over weight. I sit at a desk job and so for some reason get hungrier than I do when I'm at home moving around. When I'm cleaning house an a bit stressful so I need to be on my "A" Game.

Roast Chicken with skin Hamburger Patties with Bleu cheese on them Dipped in bleu cheese dressing Avocados Fat bombs with almond butter (I need this for pick me ups during the day) Pistachios Cashews Almonds Boiled Eggs Fried Eggs with Guacamole Spinach and Feta Fritatas Steamed or Oven roasted veggie - Asparagus -…

Kind of what I thought. I'm eating riceless sushi and tuna tar tar. It needs soy.

Even if this were the case we need to drop kick this excuse from our society. That is some crazy logic... Like a girl is supposed to be flattered by attention even if it's negative attention. this behavior is not okay. Ever. I don't care what the underlying cause is.

Sounds like you are doing great to me! You've probably backed on some serious muscle with all that weight lifting. Muscle is metabolically expensive. The more muscle you have the more you burn. So build that muscle girl and support it with great eating. And pat yourself on the back. You've come a long way. Being able to…

I'm the cook. So I cook lean meat and fiberous veggies for everyone. Then I add salad dressing or bacon for me. they get a side of rice, or potatos. I keep it simple and try to cook as healthy as possible.

I would talk to your doctor. BUT My recommendation is to add Low GI fruit and Legumes into your diet. You're growing another human being and that takes A LOT of calories. Carbs being the main form. I think you should continue to track your calories, work with your doctor or a dietician familiar with diabetes during…

FWIW the Book is on audible.com.

Plus you'll have to forgive me but earlier we had a huge conversation about how "you can't eat too much protein" but Dr. Berg (one of the individuals on the reading list) says that eating too much protien can throw you out of ketosis. Tim Ferris states that if you don't get ketosis precisely right it's a horrible diet for…

Tim Ferris is a Sales Man. He is notorious for taking old knowledge and repackaging it. Therefore he is not a reliable diet source hence why I listed him. I read his book "4hr work week" It's basically high level Business School concepts packaged for the individual. He bounces from one hot thing to the next. Read up on…

What about to avoid. Example Dr. Eric Berg has many youtube videos and warns against eating too much protien. I'd love to know who the keto charlatans are. Avoid: Tim Ferris. He's a smart guy but he's not not not an expert. He has an MBA and as a degree in East Asian Studies from Princeton University in 2000.He worked in…

This. But low carb makes it mentally easier because your blood sugar isn't going on a roller coaster ride complete with upside down loopty loops. That roller coaster ride is what makes hunger and binges suck.

Same here! I was just about to post the same problem. I did 11k steps today and 40 min on the elliptical. Mfp is only giving me credit for 124 extra calories. I questioned it, looked at my total calorie burn for the day and saw I burned 700 over mfp's estimate. While under stand some conservatism is needed do to the in…

You're definitely in starvation mode. Try eating something. You're body is hanging on to fat for dear life and is likely going to town on your LBM.

nothing.

You may want to try a detox and then a fasting diet. IDK what your weight is or your goal weight is but all of that exercise and only a 4lb loss tells me maybe you have hit your equilibrium weight. if you try to go below equilibrium without weight lifting you will likely lose LBM

This is all based on the context of this group and the keto WOE. Clearly a high carber would eat more carbs. This group is dedicated to the low carb WOE so my post is in that context.

its beneficial because it is a great way to get good fats into your diet without going and eating a slab of bacon or making fat bombs

So in conclusion a diet within your calorie limit with a Macro percentage profile such as below is best? 45% - 57% Fat 10% Carbs 33% - 40% Protein For people that need the math done a 1200 kCal Diet that would be 60g fat (minimum) 30g Carb Max 100 mg Protein minimum. My understanding is that percentages are used because…

nope. Same person I've always been.

Check out the southbeach group. She is very active there. Also checkout the soutbeach diet. This sounds like another spin on Dr. Agaston's diet created specifically for heart patients trying to address cholesterol issues.

Lyle McDonald talks about this. Search "Revisit Refeeds" on youtube. Cheat days doesn't mean to eat garbage it means for some people (specifically small women) you get to just increase your intake with good foods.

No different the GI diet and Phase 2 of the Southbeach diet. Basically the medical and nutritional community are starting to realize the heavy impact of simple carbs on our diet in relation to weight and health.

Thanks for sharing! This is definitely inspiring.

That's kind of my problem with the caffeine. My family has issues with addiction and Caffeine luckily is mine. I used to consume as many as 1500mg's a day. I'm off of it and I'm not going back. It's been a good thing for me. REALLY good. Just as an illustration, I used caffeine as a coping mechanism for stress. When I was…
