What a Dream! Pizza...
I have been LCHF since Jan 1...31lbs ago. Ok enough bragging. Last night the strangest thing has happened to me. Right before I woke up (therefore I can remember the dream vividly) I dreamed that I ate an entire Cheese and Pepperoni pizza. I could smell it and I felt sick full from eating it. I was thinking to myself, oh…

Anyone else tried Shirataki Noodles?
I like the zoodles, but if you want to try Shirataki noodles. They have no calories and no carbs. The texture takes a couple of bites to get used to. I put some meat sauce over them last night and they were amazing, anything that is No calorie and No carbs is on my radar.

A pound of fat is 3,500 Calories!! So...
Don't expect multi pound weight loss every day. There are many threads here explaining wooshes, plateaus, and why multi pound losses happens in a day or a week. Its great when/if it happens but many get very discouraged when it doesn't happen all the time. However, don't expect them to occur regularly. If you ate nothing…

Biometric Results & Interesting Conversation w/ Nutritionist
Our company invested in a Wellness program. They had the launch of the program today where they conducted a biometric screening and then had nutritionists on site to explain the results. Due to this group and my research I was prepared, I knew what was coming. My blood pressure was great, my weight was great (they couldnt…

Cheat Days are NOT an Option!
Ok, my opinion. But I read on the LCHF and other boards about people who are on weight loss diets and they schedule in cheat days? Slippery slope my friends. 1. One cheat day, leads to another, hey that last cheat didnt hurt too bad, lets have another. You get the point. 2. If you are introducing cheat days into your diet,…

Going on 26 hour Fast - Ummm Scary! Not hungry....

For all those who THINK you are stuck
So it was not that long ago that I reached out to this wonderful community and vented that I was stuck. So many veterans reassured me that if I was doing everything right that it would happen and to be patient.

Anyone else afraid of alcohol?
Before getting into Ketosis, I would have a few beers on the weekend for sure. Since starting the Keto WOE on Jan 2nd I have a 18 pack of Michelob Ultra that I bought at the start (because I was told and it does have low carb) with 17 left. From all my study alcohol will go direct to the liver with no buffer, making you…

Don't Stress the Stalls! Use this to help from being frustrated
You don't have to go as crazy as I do, but do track your weight. Weekly is my preferred tracking, but I do note daily in MFP. I have found some interesting trends when looking at my results. During periods of perceived stalls, I get frustrated, vent on MFP - but I went back and looked at the tracking. I can see my pattern…
