Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie, pie, pie, pie
Anyone have delicious pie leftover? I just keep going back for one bite every so often. But I never, ever have dessert so I'm gonna enjoy it. 😁

I'm back ...... Ugh!
A couple of years ago I lost 60+ pounds here, mainly eating a plant based diet. Fast forward a couple years later - had covid, got pretty sick, still pretty sick and gained all of the weight back. But I lost about 20 pounds from my illness - which we are still trying to figure out. And a couple of months ago I learned that…

Bra ideas needed
So I've lost 18 of 65 pounds so far. My bras are now too big in both the cup and band. Decent bras are expensive and if I buy new ones now they will surely be too big again in 20 pounds. I could go the thrift store route, but the thought of wearing a strangers undergarment is really gross. I could wear a sports bra but…

Best Beverages for Teens
What are the best beverages for teens? Juice, soda, and energy drinks often contain a lot of sugar and sometimes loads of caffeine. Diet beverages contain sugar substitutes. Obviously water is a good choice, but other than water what say you?

Scheduled Diet Break
At the beginning of this year I had a total of 59 pounds to lose. I figured it might take over a year to lose the weight in a healthy manner. So I have scheduled 4 diet breaks this year. This first one was to start after losing 15 pounds or this coming Wednesday. I'm planning to eat at maintenance for 7 days. I will…

Resistant Starches
Can adding more resistant starches to your diet increase weight loss? Is it true that cooling food items such as potatoes and pasta increases the resistant starches and therefore leads to us ingesting less calories? Or is this plain garbage?

Costco Favorites?
I love shopping at Costco and was just wondering if anyone had favorites. One of mine is the Braised Lamb Shanks in Rosemary Mint Sauce. About 230 calories for 5 ounces of deliciousness.

Types of Yoga
Hey all. I enjoy yoga and have tried a couple different varieties such as Bikram and yoga for stretching or relaxation. I'm looking for a type of yoga that will give a real workout but is designed for an overweight newb. Some of those Bikram poses seem impossible at my size, but I love the overall workout. So any tips or…

Amtrak Food
I'm gonna be traveling via Amtrak next week, for 3 days, and it's my first time using this service. I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with the food items available and if anyone has any recommendations. I'm mainly interested in more of the lower calorie options. TIA.

Maintenance Eating on Long Vacation
So I'm gonna be on vacation for at least 4 weeks - literally staying with someone else far from home. I'm really considering eating at maintenance. First there will be lots of celebrations and I really don't want to bring my scale. My goal is just to not gain weight. My question is for those of you who have vacationed this…

Fasting info needed
Hi all. I'm trying to get information on fasting in general from those with experience. Whether it's an intermittent fast, the 5:2 diet, or some other fast, I would love your feedback. Did it help you lose weight? Were there other benefits? What's the downside other than hunger? Some info about me. I have 60 pounds to…

It's time to discuss Thanksgiving.
I don't know about the rest of you, but Thanksgiving dinner is my #1 favorite meal of the year. So I want to know how everyone will handle this meal in a few weeks. Will you completely cheat? Are you gonna replace the carby foods with other foods? If so, please share your ideas and/or recipes.

Great, new crunch snack
I found a new, crunchy snack and thought I'd share. It's called Frolick's All Cheese Crisps. The one I got is cheddar. They come in single serve packets and have 1 carb per packet. I think they taste pretty good and are a good alternative to my crunchy pork rinds. Bet we could crush them and use them for encrusting meat…

I splurged and now a headache!
After 4 weeks on lchf, I spontaneously decided to splurge. I had a thin piece of chocolate cake, which tasted pretty boring. And about 3/4 c.of butter pecan ice cream. (I didn't measure for a change.) The ice cream tasted good but severely lacked pecans. :( Now, about an hour later, I'm developing a headache. wtf? Any…

Too Low Carbs?
I've been eating lchf for just over 3 weeks now. My net carbs have slowly decreased over this time naturally. Currently, it's 8:40 pm and I've only eaten 7 net carbs so far. I'm just wondering, on the days that my carbs are very low, is this still okay? Besides maybe needing more fiber and vegetables, is there any other…

New to LCHF. Loving it!
I'm on day 12 of this new way of eating (hate the word diet). The first week was definitely a transition, although I didn't usually eat many processed carbs before. This second week is so much easier. I'm totally loving the food and really not missing carbs. A couple days ago I started having really stinky urine. I thought…
