The last 10
Anyone have tips of getting rid of this last 10. I am having a hard time. Low protein didn't really help. High fat... carb refeed... Counting cals... Working out more or less... It's been a rough couple of months :(

Jimmy Moore's n=1 Experiment
This was a great read - I went all the way back and read the beginnings of it, too. http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/jimmy-moores-n1-experiments-nutritional-ketosis-day-151-180/16584 Also, I hopped back on the LC wagon after a week or so of crab loading and then 5 weeks of not working out because of a pulled muscle and…

Cheating/Weight Loss
So I am complaining... but wondering what happens to you when you "cheat." I had a cheat 3 day weekend two weeks ago... and I am still 2-3 lbs away from my weight before I cheated. Have you went off plan before? How long did it take you to get back to the weight you were before it?

Weight Loss and LC - Great Article!
Thought I would share! http://www.dietdoctor.com/how-to-lose-weight-part-5-of-17 It usually takes years or decades to gain a lot of weight. Trying to lose it all as quickly as possible by starving yourself rarely works well long-term, that’s just the recipe for “yo-yo dieting”. To succeed you need something that works long…

Eyesight and LC
So the last few days my contacts have been blurry - as if they are too strong. Last night I took them off, put on my glasses, and I couldn't read anything in the book in front of me - it was as if I had a super strong prescription. I read without my glasses and it wasn't that bad. In the morning, my eyes were less…

Zucchini & Cheese Low carb Casserole
It's my new picture! Here is the original recipe: http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2011/08/26/garden-zucchini-pizza-casserole/ Here is what I did! I even changed the serving size :) You can tell I just kind of threw together whatever I had. NOTE: I used avocado with water in place of the tomato sauce. So the grease was a tad…

Zuke Fries
Totally made these last night - SO GOOD! Did them on a rack.... make sure you spray it first! Also, the breading, while rolling the zukes in it became a little soggy. So I had to throw out about 1/2 the breading. So worth it though! http://fluffychixcook.blogspot.com/2012/05/low-carb-zucchini-fries-and-yellow.html

Xylitol - Net Carbs?
So, I bought a bunch of this... hearing good things about it helping your teeth. Now I see it has 4 sugar alcohol carbs per tsp and a glycemic index of 7. I'm going to use it... but obviously in moderation. My question is - do I count the 4 sugar alcohol carbs as net carbs? I think next time I may get Erythritol. :/ I only…

Dry eyes, Safe Carbs, and Scrapes that won't go away!
So for the last month or so I have experienced a weird symptom - dryish eyes... sometimes a little goopy at times. Of course I googled it! It seems this can be an issue with low carb. Along with that... then I read that if it's a mucus deficiency, I am at an increased risk for cancers!…

cholesterol
Ugh. I donate blood every two months... I used to be in 150... then after 1 month of low carb high fat I went to 179... Got my lipids done and all my ratios were great - numbers went up, but they were still great. Now I am at 207 two months later... and my regular doc acted like I don't need bloodwork for a long time (2…

Going to try: Garden Zucchini Pizza Casserole
http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2011/08/26/garden-zucchini-pizza-casserole/ My sister in law posted this... it looks good! Not sure of the carb count yet, but at first glance, it looks ok! In other news, I am pumped that my almond butter is being shipped with my sweetener! I also found flaked unsweetened coconut... so I can…

Justification
So I started back to work... and I've already heard that I eat too much sodium, that I need to watch my saturated fat... that people with high cholesterol should never low carb... etc etc. The best was, "Not everyone can low carb and eat the high amounts of fat like you do - they would need more protein."…

It's not the HIGH FAT... It's the HIGH CARBS
I wish people would stop saying it's the high fat and not the carbs... http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20623403,00.html Ugh. For sure wrong about tuna. I'm fitting into my skinny jeans. Seriously - ALL that is bad for you not just because of the fats. Thoughts?

Xylitol?
Hi! I am about to make a purchase of unsweetened coconut on amazon (I get points, I have their card) - anyway, what other low carb staples should I get? I already have almond flour and I have almond butter... chia seeds.... flaxmeal... I was wondering if I should pick up a sweetener so I can make some kind of dessert one…

Might be good with a little coconut oil in it, too! I'm peanut butter…

Coconut Oil
Hi all! I keep reading about people drinking coconut oil and such on a LC diet. Do any of you do this? Can you just buy it in the store? is there a good website with why people use it for LC? I saw a coconutoil.com and I read the wikipedia on it... but that didn't help me much. Anyone have experience with it?

Mexican Food
We're going to eat this for my sister in law's bday! I just went through the menu and what a pain Mexican (which used to be my favorite) food is... But I think I figured out I am going to get this massive plate of meat and just give away my beans, rice, tortillas, etc. I am going to focus on avocado and maybe some full-fat…

Chia Seeds!
Okay... so what is the best brand? Will I need to buy it online (I like amazon.com) or can I get it in the store? This looked like a good price... http://www.amazon.com/Health-Warrior-Premium-Seeds-16-Ounce/dp/B004ZIER7U/ref=sr_1_7?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1342264215&sr=1-7&keywords=chia+seed

Squash - Help!

I have some butterkase and I have fresh parm, too. I have basil I can mix in... but I was wondering if you all could think of anything else…

JUDDD
So I read about this up day down day diet last night on a low carb forum. Has anyone tried it? Also, last night I took an epsom bath and I went to sleep and woke up an hour late in binge mode. I ended up eating cheese and almonds in the middle of the night!! I never do that... but I also usually have 1600 cals a day and I…

Coffee
I just read that it has carbs... I had no idea. I drank 4 small cups with lunch, one large cup with breakfast and another large one in the afternoon yesterday! So I had 15 + 16 + 15 oz of coffee yesterday... According to: http://www.lowcarb.ca/tips/tips008.html There are .8 carbs per 6 oz. I looked on MFP and the only…

A Day of Hunger
Yesterday I felt hungry *all day.* I didn't work out like I usually do, but I do track my calories and even when I do workout, I try to stay at about 1600. I would say that about every hour or so yesterday my stomach was churning and I therefore ate something. What could cause that? I also was tired and felt the need to…

Ketosis/Weight Loss
I'm in week 2 of low carb (but not atkins style - just under 50) and I noticed I lost a 1/2 to a full pound everyday... until a few days ago. I've been testing with the strips (yeah yeah... I know I caved) and I was in it... Tonight I drank some crystal light energy, went to work out, and FINALLY felt amazing while working…
