Yet Another Reason to Love LC
Earlier today... Dental hygenist (DH): Wow, your teeth look great! Have you been flossing more? Me: No DH: Have you been using fluoride rinse? Me: No DH: Did you change your diet? Me: Actually YES! I could have told her I was also taking K2, but forgot to mention it. Could be a combo of both :)

Elimination Diet?
So this has been a tough week. I have been doing good at staying under 50g carbs daily, however I feel more often than not bloated and uncomfortable in my clothes… ug.

Learning a new WOE
Hi Everyone – I have been experimenting with the LCHF WOE since August 2015, and have been lurking here and learning a ton of new information from the folks in this group.

My Weekly Goals
I decided to post my goals for this week to help keep myself accountable. I switched from CICO/strict calorie counting (useless to me for numerous reasons) to LCHF about a month ago, and am enjoying it very much! Though still have lots of challenges, mainly weekends under the influence of others (family, birthdays, pool…
