anti-inflammatory diet?
so just got my bloodwork back after 4 months of LC eating. i have not lost a ton of weight -- 10 pounds (and i have lots to lose), but my tryglicerides went down 100 points since my last blood work, so hooray there. my cholesterol still stinks. but what worries me most: my level of inflammation is off the charts, as in…

struggling
so hey there. i've been trying my best with the LC WOE now since june. i have lost 10 pounds, which, while is awfully nice and better than my status quo, but is a bit disappointing since i have a significant amount of weight to lose and it has been a struggle... such a struggle that, as of late, i am straying. and i'm not…

SUP: Whaaaat?
just wondering if anyone else out there has ever done SUP (stand-up paddleboarding.) i did it today for the first time for 2 hours. so fun! since MFP doesn't have it in it's exercise database, i went to an outside database to estimate my calorie burn. it tells me that for two hours, i burned 1200 calories? whhhhhhhaaaat?…

ketosis
i've been searching through the list to find this answered, but so far, no luck. (if it has been answered, feel free to share the link. i don't mean to be a bother.) i have been eating LC now (between 20 and 30 net carbs each day) for about two months. every time i check my little keto stick thingy, it only says i am in…

funky aftertaste to coconut oil?
n00b here again. so yesterday, i learned a little about fat bombs, something i never heard about reading atkins. :-) i just tried to make my first one: 3 tbspn coconut oil, 1 tbspn peanut butter, 1 or so tbspn cocoa powder (it flew over the side of my bowl as i mixed it ;-), and a little stevia. i'm sitting here trying to…

Traveling As a Low Keto
apologies for the weird subject line. i'm just finishing week 5 of a modified atkins like experience. (i stay around 20-22 net carbs each day.) i am able to do this because i don't eat out much, which for now gives me a certain level of control. (insert janet jackson singing "control" here ;-) i am trying to plan ahead. in…

Struggling at Week 4 of Low Carb. Advice, Please :-)
Hi there, A little over a month ago, my cardiologist told me to go on a low carb diet. (I have a lot of weight to lose.) I know I have to lose weight for my heart, but still -- this was not going to be easy: I don't eat pork, I don't like fish (beyond tuna salad), I'm not crazy about steak. This leaves me with chicken,…

what am i doing wrong?
after hitting a record high weight last weekend, i vowed to start eating more healthfully and exercising consistently. i made a goal -- shoot for 1200 calories/day and make it to the gym at least 5 times this week (no mean feat considering i'm a mom :-) i have written my food down every day honestly, and i have worked hard…
