I have a couple berries here and there, no more than a palm full.

Can I trade fat pants with you? Lol

... oh so THAT'S why I've had such bad chapped lips? Low sodium? Dang! I've been going through chapstick and lotion like it's going out of style.

If you're open to suggestions I just bought a bunch of sugar free candies from the pharmacy, Russel Stover makes a bunch of really good ones that are 1-2 net carbs. If you look at my diary I've eaten them every day and I'm still in ketosis. I have toffee and dark chocolate pecan. I don't have a full serving usually, just…

I have a cheat meal once a week, not a whole cheat day :) This weekend we will probably go back to ihop and I will enjoy a pancake or a waffle with my kiddo. The rest of my week I am in ketosis and staying low carb. We always do lots of walking after brunch too which is nice. It's really up to you, it's like alcohol, if…

Similar story to mine. Actually funny story, I stayed at the hospital for about 2 weeks total and we got to order off the hospital menu. I was given the diabetic menu. Well they used to call me and complain about my carb intake saying I wasn't eating enough carbs! I'd order an omlette or 3 eggs plus ham plus bacon, and…

Where's this survey? I want to take it :P

Condiments. Argh! Although I typically see that as "wasted carbs". I had 1 tbsp of Sweet Baby Rays on a chicken breast last night, omg for just 2 tbsp it was 18 carbs! NET carbs! Ugggh. To think I used to use more than 2 tbsp.

Happy Birthday @GaleHawkins!

* Cheese sticks * Almonds - I like the smokehouse kind, but I just got salt and vinegar from someone on IGs recommendation! There's so many flavors. * Lily's chocolate * Celery/something to dip it in, like guac or ranch * Sugar free hard candy, Werthers or Russel Stover type deals * Pepperoni I don't go to the movies often…

I think deep down he may be afraid of what he might have. For me, seeing my weight at it's highest point was so hard but I had to do it like ripping off a band aid. You can't fix what you don't know about and it sounds like he's in that mindset where he knows it's bad but doesn't want to know HOW bad. Seeing a Dr will have…

You've already gotten amazing advice already, keep it up! If you want a MFP friend feel free to add me, my diary is open.

I had cauliflower pizza again last night. Darn all this cauliflower talk! Omg it was so good though.. I ate the entire pizza with calories to spare, lol.

My blood pressure is the best it's ever been, 101/60. I'm almost back to my pre-preggo weight. There's so many good health benefits to this diet that I don't see the harm in trying it for a month or two. I don't have any links to point you towards but there's plenty of books that go over keto and low carb. In my experience…

There's low carb almond butter, not exactly the same but you get more nutritional value for your buck :)

I never would have thought grinding my own coffee at home made that much of a difference. After all these posts now I'm temped to check it out!

All that being said I am similar to him in that most of my eating was always at night. This meant I ended up choosing to eliminate breakfast (except for coffee and a bit of HWC), had a small lunch, and become a fattie at night (lol). For example last night I ate a 1lb ribeye with asparagus and brussel sprouts with Almond…

2 liters of diet soda a night, HOLY MOLY. That could be exactly why he's not losing. Some sweeteners react to glucose levels in your body differently and knock you out of ketosis. At 350lbs there's a good chance he may be pre diabetic and not even know it. I advise you/your hubby to see a Dr and get some bloodwork done if…

Just because you are eating Keto foods does not mean you have unlimited calories. He very well could be eating more than he thinks and blowing his calorie counts causing him to stall or gain weight.

That's awesome!

Are you weighing it and dividing it up into portions before plugging it into MFP? If you eat the entire head of cauliflower then maybe it's 12 net carbs. But 1/4 of the head I wouldn't think is that much. Cream cheese and butter should be 0 carb and heavy whipping cream if you added that maybe 1-2 carbs.

I only buy 2 or 3 at a time because I find once they ripen, they ALL ripen at once. You can tell because a ripe one is almost black in color, and squish a bit when you push down. If it's not ready it will be hard and bright green. Keep them away from bananas because bananas give off some gas or something that ripen…

Haligonian represent! Living in the US for now, missing home though :(

People usually lose a lot of weight at the very beginning, the "honeymoon" phase of keto/lchf. This is normally water weight. It will slow down after the first month or so. I'm on month 5 and am at a stall. I know why I'm stalled, but it happens, sometimes I'll lose 2lbs and sometimes the scale doesn't move but I lose…

My first week I ate a LOT. I did no carb counting and just ate until I was full. It was difficult enough learning the new diet and what I could/couldn't cook let alone figure out macros. After I was comfortable the next week I restricted by calories and then by macros. Weight dropped off but damn if you try and figure it…

I had bacon on a stick for lunch and it was delicious. No idea how they prepared it but it was thick cut and very juicy.. :smiley:

Well, for some people the cigarette would take the place of a snack (hence why people gain weight after quitting) so you *could* lose weight but overall it's obviously a terrible choice. As someone who's asthmatic from second hand smoke trying to do workouts is not a good time. Quit now and eat some frozen grapes or…

Congrats! I'm going to get bloodwork done in May to see where I'm at, wish me luck ;)

I've gone out for mexican and order the fajitas, no beans, veggies instead of beans. They gave me a bunch of veggies, steak and chicken, and the tortillas are on the side. I just didn't eat the wraps and ate the delish fillings :) That said most of the salads are fine, just order no tomatoes. Not sure about olives. The…

I weigh every day and only log if I lost weight. It keeps me motivated to lose more if I know I can't log until I hit my next lb. I bounce up and down 2lbs and have been around 269-268 all week. Too many carbs :(
