@TeaBea thanks for the link.. I think I am eating too many calories based off that calculator :O Time to recalculate my MFP stuff!

Very cool! I'll be watching and will send this around to my friends.

@PaleoInScotland I'm stuck around the same spot, my body won't let go of these lbs and let me get into the 240s! I'm hoping my weigh in tomorrow is better and just lets go of it like yours did.

I've heard you can order them all as sides if you wanted - ie two sides of ground beef, one side of lettuce, side of cheese, etc etc until it fits your macros. It works out to be cheaper that way too. Then ask for a bowl and toss all the sides in the bowl!

Paleo diet is what I'll be doing when I'm in maintenance (following Keto right now). Basically I'll be adding fruit and a little starchy carbs like sweet potatoes back into my diet slowly. I have a few cook books for it, it's definitely sustainable. If you want bread options there are companies that make low carb bread and…

My NSVs are the things I've been cooking this week. Garlic cauliflower mash with cream cheese and heavy cream, spaghetti squash sauteed with garlic and butter, and turkey meatballs cooked in the slow cooker. The spaghetti squash was the easiest of them all to make and has lasted for a few meals. Taste wise, cauliflower…

Reese peanut butter cups cereal was my favorite. Peanut butter and chocolate? Sold. I remember eating a "bowl" (basically a large mixing bowl or something meant for a salad) of it almost every day. And I'd eat the whole thing, feel full for an hour and then be hungry again. I was maybe 12 or 14 so I didn't know about the…

Oh man. @FIT_Goat the worst I've ever seen were those mac and cheese bites covered in cheeto dust. The worst part is they sound like something that would taste awesome but you'd be regretting that decision later in a few hours (and on the scale the next weigh in). Review with pics:…

5ft 7 Sw: 308 Cw: 253 Gw: 150 Final days of shark week. Up 3lbs from last Wed but I'm assuming it's water weight because yesterday I was 251. I am so ready for the 240s.. :P

Most shampoo contains sulfates and alcohols which REALLY dry out and damage your hair. It's why they had to make conditioner, because the shampoo does it's job so well it strips out both the good and bad oils from your hair and scalp. And you don't want that! You can try a low poo shampoo (I use devacurl personally) or a…

I am pre-diabetic and was also prescribed metformin but decided against taking it. I am also not a fan for taking medication just to take it, only when absolutely needed and in this instance it seemed like more of a preventative measure more than anything. I'm still on the fence about it. I don't know anything about the…

I would recommend Keto to people who have PCOS, are insulin resistant, people prone to diabetes or pre-diabetic etc. We are the group where not just any diet will work, we HAVE to restrict our sugar. If you don't have any medical condition then you can choose whatever diet you want. Keto works fast but for some it can be…

Take a break from your studies and go for a short walk every night, earn those extra steps and link it to your MFP diary. Get a cheap fitbit or similar device and see how much steps you can fit in a day. You can add people on here or do little competitions with your friends. Park further away and walk rather than trying to…

I'm sure you could live off eggs if you really wanted to but you'd be supplementing a LOT and would eventually get bored eating just eggs I assume. I know people starting keto get sick of bacon and eggs for breakfast pretty quickly, lol. But anyway, to each their own. I skip breakfast so I can pig out later :)

I'm not new but still have 100lbs to lose, so I have a ways to go yet. You're not alone :)

^ What Sam said. I would add that there's lots of entries with "minus sugar alcohols" that are helpful when using that addon, so if I want to add Arctic Zero Ice cream I'd search for "Arctic Zero cake batter ice cream minus". Sometimes they specify the type of alcohol it is and sometimes they just say "sugar alcohol" so…

I shared a funny meme on Facebook about Country Crock and an ad for that "butter" showed up for it in my Instagram. The meme was something to the effect of "If you had this as a kid you've used the bucket as a cereal bowl" which, I did. So I did what any normal person would do on on social media and I continued making fun…

I get ads for Mc Donalds a lot, probably because I googled Mc Donalds looking for nutritional info without the bun, stuff like that.

I use it but it's got some work to do, it won't connect to MFP and can be a bit buggy.

You could probably make a big "hot chocolate" with chocolate protein powder and unsweetened almond milk that's been warmed up!

Your diet is very high in carbs - 41% carbs and only 21% protein. That's a high amount of carbs, I'd be hungry too! They turn into glucose in your body which gives you that "sugar rush" and then a crash an hour or two later. I would save a few sweet things to have at night (either the muffin, the yogurt or hot chocolate…

I like making taco salads. Cook up a bunch of ground beef with taco seasonings and store it in a container, then when you get hungry nuke a small bowl of hamburger mix and add it on top of some lettuce, add cheese, guac, sour cream, diced tomatos etc. Super easy if you prepare it all ahead of time.

If honey works for you, take it. Focus on getting yourself well and back to 100% and continue to eat your every day low carb meals (no cookies, lol). If you need dayquil or nyquil get the tablets because the liquids are full of sugar, and if you need cough drops there are sugar free cough drops. If you develop a sore…

1000 internet points for @Dragonwolf s post.

Processed meats like ground beef, ground chicken, or bacon are the ones being debated IIRC. You can always go to a local butcher or farmer to get something fresh that hasn't been processed with any chemicals, or get a hunting license and hunt your own animals if you're really concerned about it. If none of that works you…

...Well? Was it good? I looove PB! If I could find a way to froth it into HWC I'd be set, lol.

I seen the sun peek out once and now it's back into hiding again! Wedding dress shopping sounds fun :)

You know, with the latest craze of "tapas" (eating a bunch of little things and sharing) I could see sweet potatoes being great for that. Instead of all the bread and crackers that they usually serve, just toast up some sweet potatoes. It would be nice to spread some chicken salad on too, like an open faced sandwich sort…

What types of cholesterol are they concerned about? This part is extremely important. If you're doing a full lipid panel with your blood work it should show total cholesterol along with HDL/LDL and Triglycerides. A high fat diet will have high cholesterol levels but it should be high in the good cholesterol (HDL) and low…

Okay I am dying to listen to this, I'll have to listen on my lunch time walk!
