Bananas?
Does anyone eat bananas on days they're more active? I know they're higer in carbs and sugars, but they have a lot of health benefits. Just interested in anyone's experience with them - if they negatively affect your weight loss - only 7 more lbs till goal so not much room for error.

Small cup Brusters cookie dough ice cream one day, old fashioned donut the next
is somehow what finally broke my month long "stall" and I lost 1 lb this week!!! For all those who have battles in their head over "cheating", just think about if you REALLY want it, and treat yourself it if you do. Deprivation leads to intense cravings which lead to binges, which is why low carb gets a bad rep. It's not a…

Macros
Wondering if mine are good.. Average this week has been 67% fat, 24% protein, 9% carbs. I eat between 1100 and 1400 calories/day, and my daily calorie burn from excercise is around 500. I don't feel hungry, but I'm not sure if I'm undereating and putting my body under too much stress. I'm not losing as consistently as I'd…

I didn't give in!
I've been having a war in my head all week, craving a boston cream donut, deciding whether I should just get one or not. Silly, I know, but it's amazing how you can go so long without cravings then when they hit, they make up for lost time. I looked up the numbers and didn't think 37 carbs was too bad, since generally I…

I run and lift so I do want to look "fit", if that means a higher number in order to keep muscles, I'm happy with that. I'm looking…

Glycogen stores?
I read an article that said it only takes about 70 grams of carbs to replenish glycogen stores and make you gain water weight. I'm not sure how much truth there is to this, and was wondering if anyone knew? As I get closer to my goal weight, I'm wondering how many carbs I can mantain on. I'm currently around 10-20 (some…

Emotional side of losing weight
Hi all, I've been low carb since June 2015 and have lost 70 lbs! It's such a great lifestyle and I'm so glad I started. My only problem is that I've been struggling with the emotional side of losing... I still see the "old me." Realistically, I know I'm smaller. I went from a size xl/xxl in shirts to a size small, and my…
