My ex husband of 15 years was 5ft 7in. I am 6ft. It was never a issue except sometimes I missed having that "big man" feeling when out. You know the one, where even though you are a 6ft amazon woman you still feel dainty standing next to your man. My new man is 6ft 5in. I don't think I will go back to short men anymore…

It's so interesting to hear others experiences & that they are pretty much on par with mine. It took 2 days for me to get back into the LC swing after my carb blow out on Thursday, Friday I kept dipping into carby things all afternoon so I had a strict LC weekend & finally today the scale went back to pre carb blow out…

Feeling like carp is terrible. Haha I didn't want to upset the swear filters and figured parc was too ambiguous lol Interesting side effect. Am craving sugar like a demon. I haven't had one for weeks!!

I had to stop mine (metformin) last week as my bp's were low after 2 weeks of low carbing. I will take today as I had a carb blow out yesterday & know it has spiked but will test regularly until they drop to safe levels again.

ncprice1, I want to come to your house for dinner. I love soul food.

I use a lot of tinned mackerel for lunches, small leafy salad & a boiled egg. Is so filling. For UK people; Tinned mackerel in brine or oil Lamb cutlets Full fat greek yogurt Cream cheese (Boursin minis are like little fat bombs) Sour cream Extra thick double cream Spinach Caverelo nero cabbage garlic onion Cheddar Bacon…

I like fasting without starving so will carry on my method. There is no right or wrong imo, if it works, it works :wink:

I do the overnight route. 7am Bulletproof 1pm starts a 6hr eating window till eating high fat no carbs usual LC foods 7pm bulletproof

Me :smile:

10lb down in 3 weeks and loving it. I log pretty consistently so feel free to add me

Do some searches on keto flu as it can be sorted out immediately. I got magnesium tablets and upped my sodium and it went in 10mins

Ok so about the same as me. I have 65 to go. I've lost 10lbs since Jan 11th so still have a week to go for a full month weigh in but so far so good. I have spent Friday & again today with a table full of cookies, sweets, cake & treats 10ft from my desk & I haven't even looked at them. A previously unheard of experience but…

Amazing achievement. Can I ask how much you have to lose in total. I just want to see if I could reach such a massive loss in 1 month too :smile:

What is MCT?

Same here. 4 leavers at work yesterday and a smorgasbord of cakes, cookies, pastries and sweets about 8ft from my desk and didn't even cross my mind to have any. I even set it all up and tidied it away too. And nothing. I have type 2 and carbs and chocolate have always been my downfall as your body craves them when bps are…

I had bpchoc for dinner last night and another one this morning. I will do this for the next couple of weeks. Ii haven't eaten since 3pm yesterday afternoon so will eat between 10-4pm today and another bpchoc this evening I have totally lost desire for crisps. Sweets and carbs since having bpchoc. This feels like my life…

I only use 200mls of water to make mine, any more & it loses the creamy texture.

I wouldn't actually be any lower calorie as I have around 1500 a day & the BPchoc is 450 cals each with 51g fat, the lunch would be a protein & salad affair. It's more the fat burning properties in BPchoc that I am hoping for & as I only use 5g of 85% dark chocolate the carb count is minimal. I'll have a look into the…

I want to lose a lot in the next 5 weeks. What are views on bpchoc for breakfast and dinner with a proper lunch in between? I will go back to only breakfast after 2 weeks maybe 3 but will this be damaging do you think?

amazing journey & I love your pre surgery pic & the comment alongside the photo "because she loves *kitten*" hahahahaha. You look amazing now. Just out of curiosity, did your husband go for the surgery too?

I use my nutribullet & use the travel mug so I can take it out the door with me on my commute. Do you guys have it every day for breakfast? I think I can manage 4 days a week but do miss poached eggs for brekkie lol

this is all making sense, I drink around 2ltr water a day plus another 1ltr in tea but since doing LC proper I have increased water by another ltr so I must be really low on sodium I have some miso soup in my draw at work, will have that today till I can get some other ways to get it in,

I love this stuff, I have perfected the balance & basically I need no cacao powder as the 85% dark chocolate gives it enough taste & the oils & butter make it really rich & creamy. I drank one on my morning commute today & I know it sounds odd but I can feel the fat melting off me. I lost 4lbs over 2 weeks by cutting back…

thanks all.

calf muscle mainly in the night. i'll get some magnesium an up the salt intake and see how i go. thanks

I adjusted the cacao powder to 1 tsp and added 5gr 80% green and black dark chocolate. 1 tbsp coconut oil, 3/4 tblsp kerry gold, 8 tsp double cream, half tsp vanilla and it was much better. Nearly delicious lol I will cut double cream next time as it is over 600 cals with that much cream.

I had 3 lamblcutlets marinaded in 3 heaped tbls full fat greek yogurt, garam masala powder a tsp apple cider vinegar and a tsp walnut oil. Fried in a tbls coconut oil. Served with leafy green salad

My hunger only kicked in around 1.30. I had bpc at 8.30. The hunger was abaited with 2 mini boursin pellets and a bag of pork scratching. I'll try with less cacao and more coconut oil tomorrow and see how I go

If you can stand it chew on some fresh coriander or mint leaves and stalks. We do this in Thailand after eating fermented fishy and chilli and garlic based food. I find it helps with the change in mouth odour from lc

Oh I forgot to mention I melted down the butter and oils before making a paste with the cacao then added water
