Well, no carb will mean meals made entirely of fats, meats, and eggs since there are carbs in veggies and fruits. Are you sure he didn't mean very low carb?

120g sounds great, especially if a dietitian gave you this plan. Did they also give you a calorie goal? I would say that 1 pound a week sounds great. I had about 40 pounds to lose and did it at that speed. It took me about a year with maintenance calorie intake for Christmas and vacations. You'll just need to be patient. I…

Haha, not worried about the cement! There is glass everywhere! I wish it were cleaner

go to My Home, then the settings tab in the upper right on the blue bar. Choose Diary Settings and set to public. Do you have your weight loss set to more than 1 pound a week? Unless you are extremely overweight, I would stick with 1 pound a week. Make sure you eat plenty of healthy fats doing low carb, my intake is…

If you want advice on your food, you'll have to open up your diary. Running will get you in better shape, but it won't necessarily help you lose weight if you aren't eating the right things or the right amount.

you may feel great now, but your body does need fuel. Its tough to give recommendations on diet because your diary is closed. The problem with cutting calories so drastically is that it usually isn't sustainable. You can do it for a while, but you may go back to your old ways. Unfortunately, almost all of us got to where…

change MFP to maintain and follow those recommendations. You may even need to eat a little more than that says to maintain. Continue to eat the healthy foods that you have been eating because dropping all of that now could cause you to go back to your old ways. Do something that you can do for the rest of your life!

You kind of have to re-vamp the way you eat. Don't do replacements for sandwiches or breads, pick a completely different meal. Have a giant salad with tuna on it and some olive oil and vinegar or leftovers from dinner (which shouldn't be pasta based!). For dinner, pick a protein and cook up one or two veggies with it.…

3 eggs cooked in coconut oil, egg casserole, dinner leftovers, or salad with oil packed tuna. Usually its leftovers. I am usually full until lunch, or I'll eat some veggies, nuts, beef jerky, or plain whole fat yogurt for lunch.

I get fiber through the veggies I eat. As long as I am regular, I don't worry about it too much. If you are worried about regularity, try some fermented veggies, kombucha or yogurt. It will help!

I would definitely cut out the toast and up your eggs! 3 eggs is only 210 calories. I usually have 400 calories for breakfast not counting coffee and it keeps me full for a while. Perhaps try eating leftovers for breakfast? When I don't have eggs, I eat leftovers or a giant salad!

No bread for me, but I do eat a lot of tuna! I like to eat oil packed tuna (tastes so much better) with bread and butter pickles. I also like it with avocado or guac.

That is awesome! I use vibram 5 fingers and I think that is the closest I can get to barefoot since I live in a city! Glad you had fun :)

1200 is really low and you aren't getting that most days. Eat more. What you are doing isn't sustainable and you may end up reverting back to your old ways. You are going to lose muscle along with fat if you continue to eat so little. Eat what MFP says. Its a minimum so if you go slightly over, its okay.

How many eggs are you eating and are you eating the yolk? I usually eat three or four eggs cooked in coconut oil, no toast, but with bacon! The high fat and protein keeps me satiated for a long time. Keeping your blood sugar from spiking and then dropping will stop that crazy hunger.

sour cream or avocado like a previous poster said. I also like just oil packed tuna with some bread and butter pickles, but that might just be me!

I took a look at your diary and it looks like you need to cut back on the fast food! That is the first step. When you do make your own food, include healthy fats and proteins. I eat about the same number of calories as you a day, so feel free to take a look at my diary. My fat intake is fairly high, but it comes from all…

ick, I hate colds, especially in the summer! Don't worry about exercising until you feel you are healthy again, at least that is my opinion and what I follow. I recently got two nasty cuts on my legs and didn't exercise until they were fairly healed up because I didn't want to risk opening them up and getting infected!…

Yes, I did read that it is not inflammation, I just read some people who have had success with it and find that their pain is greatly reduced. I just figure its worth a shot, especially with limited medical access. I have heard about the great success of an anti-inflammatory diet with MS patients.

I don't have fybromyalgia, but I did a little research about paleo diet and fybromyalgia, because eating paleo has helped me reduce my joint pain, fatigue, and stomach issues. Eating a paleo diet can reduce inflammation and general reactivity in the body. If you don't have health insurance, then its worth looking into…

I don't know much about staying in ketosis, but I eat fairly low carb (25% of cals). I would stick with starchy veggies, like squash and sweet potatoes and lower sugar fruits, like berries! Don't do dried fruit, really high in sugar!

agree with the eat a bit more, but also your fat intake is really low. Fat will keep you full for longer and it won't make you fat, I promise! Just stick with healthy fats!

I weigh in every morning, but don't record it. I usually record the weight when I consistently hit it for a few days. That way it isn't a fluke. Weighing once a week is probably more reasonable than what I do, but I don't obsess, its more for interest purposes.

I work at a chocolate factory, so I have perfected the art of not over indulging! I constantly have a bar of dark chocolate on my desk! I allow myself 2 squares (about 100 calories) of the chocolate a day if I want it. Some days I don't have any. I make sure it is a bar of chocolate that I really like. Right now I have a…

I like pulled pork with vinegar based bbq sauces! My husband's mom has a Big Green Egg and you can make slow cooked, smoked meats in it. Its expensive, but soooo worth it. I used to live in OK and loved the BBQ, but now that I am back in NH, I have to make my own delicious bbq!

we need this in the US! This is a lot like the paleo kits from steve's originals, but more options. Also, all of the paleo kits seem to have almonds which I can't eat :(

For very quick protein and/or healthy fats: beef jerky string cheese or cheese of any sort eggs (hard boiled, scrambled fried) lunch meats (check the ingredients and nutritional content first) canned tuna/chicken nut butters nuts Thinly sliced meats, shrimp, and fish will all cook up very quickly if you are at home.

fyi, none of the recipes I posted involve a slow cooker so you can make those while you wait to get one :)

50% is not unusual at all and that is what I have my macros set at, although I don't always hit them perfect.

don't worry about going over fat and protein. fat doesn't make you fat and protein will help you build lean muscle mass which in turn helps you burn more calories doing day to day things. Cook your veggies in coconut oil or grassfed butter, eat eggs, grassfed meat, full fat dairy, and nuts.
