Am I low carb enough?
I've only just found this forum so please be gentle with me and I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times :blush: I've started a body transformation programme at a local gym. 12 weeks of 4 times a week classes with weight training and HIIT. I'm now on week 4. It started with a 10 day low carb phase (no wheat, no…

Question re carbs and fibre?
I only started having fibre show on my diary when one of you really helpful people mentioned it on my 'Low car enough?' post yesterday. When you're looking at your carb figure are you supposed to take the fibre figure away from it to see what your carbs really are? So far today I'm on:- Totals 881 20 55 77 6 8 Your Daily…

TDEE
My maths is appalling so sorry for asking this. I'm doing 5:2 so the advice is to eat to TDEE on the 5 days. I'm 5ft 7 and weigh 14st 6 (202lb). I've worked it out at 2000 calories per day. Does that sound right as it seems like a lot? TIA

I didn't believe it...
but it's true. Eating more calories is better. I've previously done lots of 'fad' diets as well as following MFP's advice that my calorie intake should be 1200 calories and lost a chunk of weight in the first week but then nothing after that, in spite of being horribly hungry. It's also made me more inclined to go 'oh sod…

Resource for Dumbbell Workout?
I do a lot of cycling and dog walking and I've just started C25K. I've realised that I'm not really doing any upper body work. I don't have access to a gym nor the space for big weights so the best I can do is dumbbell work, which we have a set of already. Can anyone recommend a good DVD (I'm in the UK) or online resource…

Still confused about BMR and TDEE
I've read most of the posts on this topic and I'm really sorry but I'm still confused. MFP thinks my target should be 1200 calories per day. My Fitbit account thinks the same. I've worked out my BMR at 1562 and my TDEE at 2140 I'm a 47 year old female, 5ft 8 and currently weigh 186lbs. I'm aiming for 154lbs. According to…

I just wanted to say whoohooo
Since the start of the 2nd week in February I have lost a stone (14lbs for those of you who don't work in stones ;-) ) on Dukan. This is the lowest I have weighed for a long time, in spite of having tried so many different ways to lose weight. I'm loving eating this way and finding it really straightforward. I also feel…

Calories
I've lost 13lbs on my weigh in this morning since starting back on Dukan approximately 6 weeks ago. Oh so close to the 1 stone mark (maybe tomorrow!). As a result MFP has dropped my calorie recommendation to 1200. I still have 2 to 2 1/2 stone to go (not sure, I'll decide when I start getting close). While some days I…

Protein Shake?
I've had a hugely busy day and have somehow managed to forget to eat. I've just had dinner and I will have some 0% Greek yoghurt in a bit but I'm going to struggle to eat my calories. I've had 790 calories including the yoghurt yet to eat. I'm on a pure protein day. I've got a tub of low carb protein shake in the cupboard.…

Am I doing it right?
First of all hi all and hope everyone is doing well. I'm new to Dukan and generally I feel that this way of eating is great for me as I was diagnosed before Christmas with a wheat allergy, which is really easy to manage under Dukan. It's making me feel really healthy so far. I started my attack phase on Monday and it feels…
