I thought I should probably try that to make sure I can stomach adding the oil to my…

question about working out
When I first started the low carb diet I lost a considerable amount of weight in the first two weeks. I have found my way back to the gym this week. I have been going for 6 days.

your amazing
You all amaze me so much. I have only been lurking here for a short time but from everything I have ready I am amazed. People ask how my diet is going but none of them have much interest in it. What I say falls on deaf ears or comments like that is too restrictive for me. What I have seen first hand by cutting carbs as low…

what to eat
I have very bad eating habits. On most days I only eat once a day. I am just not hungry. I know that this is one of the reasons I struggle when trying to lose weight. I try to buy little things that I can snack on throughout the day, but I cannot maintain it. Within a week I lose interest in force feeding myself.

At my last appointment 2 months ago…

Once I entered all my cardio into the myfitness pal app my calorie goal went from 1200 to 1700. This seems like a large jump when I am trying to lose weight. What if I didnt add the cardio to the calorie counter?

protein
Does it really matter when I drink the protein shake? Before or after the workout? I find it easier to do afterwards when I work out early in the morning because nothing sounds good to me early in the morning.
