Does anyone combine low carb and IF?
Before my holidays I did low carb for three months and lost 13 lbs. I have been back in the UK for 3 weeks now and find it hard to go back to low carb. I always end up sabotaging my efforts in the evening. I am wondering If IF could work?

Jason Fung and IF
I saw a short Interview with Jason Fung when he spoke of the health benefits of having one meal a day (LCHF). This interested me as I have 28lbs to lose. Also I do not like cooking and I am rather short of money and time. Would one healthy low carb meal a day meet all my nutrition needs? I need to be careful as I suffer…

Inflammation and LCHF
Some day I manage to restrict my carbs quite successfully (15 to 50 grms of carb). I can only doing this though by having a diet cola, a full pint of sugarfree jelly (Hartleys) and a packet of pork scarchings (Mr Porky) - I am quite aware that these are not healthy foods. Just worry that I am doing good by going low carb…

Dr West?... video from member - started to watch but lost it
A member posted this video but my ipad crashed and cannot find it. This doctor was talking to patients who were starting on low carb. He was interesting and clear unfortunately lost 15 mins to the end. I have been up and down the posts but still cannot find it. So infuriating! Can you please help me find it. Thank you.

Atkins bar - confused
I often have an Atkins bar for convenience for my evening meal when I am working - also I like the taste (Meal Chocolate Peanut butter bar) (60 grs). On the box it says 3 grms Net Carbs per bar - but when I enter it in my diary from the database it says 23 grms carbs. I entered all the data myself in case there was an…

Low carb and burning scalp
Has anyone experienced this? I have been doing well on lo carb limiting myself to less than 50 grs a day. I have done this for a month and already lost 10 lbs. I love this way of eating as I never feel hungry. However, for the last 8 days I have a burning scalp - my doctor put it down to the number of vitamins I take…

Great benefit from doing low carb
My black moods have gone and my state of mind has greatly improved. I tend to worry about things over which I have no control whatsoever, always imagining the worst scenario. Since being on less than 40 grs a day, I feel much better, much more positive. My only side effect is that I do not sleep as well as before. I used…

Will this new approach work?
I am 65, female with 40 lbs to lose. In an ideal world I would like to eat just under 50 carbs a day and stick to 1200 calories 5 days a week. I do 5 spinning classes a week. Hard to tell exactly how many calories I use as intensity of exercise varies depending on the instructor giving the class . The bike usually…

2 x 45 mins spinning classes a day and eating just under 1500 calories - no weight loss!
A bit dissapointed - I thought I would melt away! I am 55 with, with 35 lbs to lose. I am still not eating clean though - too much bread and carbs and sugar - but just under 1500 a day. I think I burn about 250 calories every session! I have been doing this for two months (around 10 sessions a week). There is a calorie…

What I have learned (after failing a few times)
I have learned to not eat between meals - changed from 3 meals a day to 4 smaller meals a day - so no excuse to snack - I found that I was eating all day long and running out of calories by 3 pm I have learned that exercising excessively so I do not have to watch my calories does not work - I need to monitor both exercise…

What is the true calorie reading when using machines
I recently joined the gym and try to expense 700 calories on each visit - using the rowing machine, the stepper and the elliptical apparatus. One gym attendant told me that I should halve the calories shown. I always enter age, weight etc. on the stepper and elliptical. What do you think?

Why am I my worst enemy?
Why cannot I be consistent? I have 50 lbs to lose. I log my food for a day or two and then give up. Any little deviation in my routine and I lose it. It can be as little as a friend coming over, meeting someone for lunch, having a task to do I dislike. I am retired and can please myself but love being on my own keep myself…
