eating the same things every day....
I find I get into a pattern and it just makes it easier for me not thinking too much about food. Do you eat basically the same stuff everyday? Please share! Me: B: black coffee and eggs of some style S: pepperoni stick L: veg salad with protein/fat (guac, cheese, leftover meat, etc) S: nuts D: meat and veg S: if I really…

gabapentin/neurontin and keto
Is anyone taking this and successfully losing weight on a low carb/keto diet? Taking 1800mg/day for sciatic pain and have heard horror stories of drastic weight gain....would love to hear others experience and advice!
-
meds that cause weight gain + keto = ?
So....had a back injury in July last year likely from being a Crossfit newbie(L5 S1 disk extrusion, sciatic nerve pain, lordosis of the lumbar spine). It is now June and I am still dealing with this. Done all the conservative stuff (meds, physio, yoga, acupuncture, osteopath, chiro, meditation,etc.). Have been on…

Sciatica and keto
So....injured my back in July 2016 at crossfit while eating a keto diet (bulging disks, SI joint inflammation/piriformis syndrome/sciatica on left side all the way to my ankle). Tried all the standard things since then to fix myself (not working/pain is at it's peak/getting an MRI on Sunday) but in the meantime I had…

today's menu...
Haven't seen this kind of thread before - I find it VERY helpful to see what others are eating (and saves me from going back and forth into diaries!) Hoping to start a thread where we can post what we ate today/yesterday.....just to give us a go-to on the days where we are getting bored or looking for something new and…

deleting carb-y foods in my food list?
sorry - a bit of a tech question - but is there a way to get rid of food that appear in my list? when I go into my food diary I keep seeing food that I ate a year ago - and I hate seeing all these processed carbs (haha!) and would love to delete the reminders of my past ;)

LCHF dinner for 12 - make ahead - ideas needed!
Hi! So.....long story short - I started my bookclub over 10 years ago when I lived in the city and have since moved away but still take part in the monthly dinners at each members homes. Wednesday is my turn and I am taking over my sister-in-law's kitchen for the night so I can host. I am looking for ideas that can be…

don't give up!
One of my favourite threads on here is the NSV's...I often go to it when I am in need of some motivation :) I thought it also might be helpful to have an ongoing thread with some words of encouragement to those who have fallen off the wagon, or may be new to this WOE....something you can go to when you need a bit of a kick…

keto and exercise (or not!)
Hello! Curious about how many of you are losing without actually going to the gym/doing a "workout"? Reluctant to renew my membership (time and money issues) but can manage a 45 minute walk with the dog 4 days/week + one 90 minute yoga session......I was doing LC all summer and it was flying off but was also pretty active.…

pork rinds?
anyone know where I can buy them in Canada? (specifically Ontario!) I know I have seen them and never given them a second thought (back when I was eating SAD) but now don't know where to look.....gas stations?! hoping I like them and that these can be my new chip replacement :) what is your fave thing to eat them with? I…

RDA on keto?
Was looking at my reports and wondered if the typical RDA's apply? I seem low on a few things and can take a multi but prefer to figure out what foods I can eat with the nutrients I am lacking...
-
what nutrients do you track daily?
right now I am monitoring: calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium, fiber (trying to lower the carbs/sodium and up the protein/fiber - this is a good teaching method for me!) thinking about swapping out fat for sugar for a week because I have no idea how much hidden sugar is lurking in my food! what do you watch out for and…

what made you FINALLY decide to get serious?
We have all had our "this time I am really going to lose the weight and get healthy" moments/days/weeks.......(some of us have had them MANY times)....and yes, we are still fat. What was your defining moment (if any) that made you finally get serious? A photo? Comment? Health scare? Upcoming event? Nightmare? Curious to…

quick paleo/primal breakfasts?
Looking for ideas that aren't eggs every.single.day.....if it takes 5min or less to make even better! :)

are we ready to start this up again?
I for one, am limiting myself to Fri/Sat night only...and so far so good :)

not getting enough protein and fiber
Hello! I am trying to increase my protein and fiber intake to 100g and 35g per day respectively......other than protein powder (which I HATE - sorry - just can't handle the texture!), does anyone have any good tips or ideas for me? I try to eat 5-6 small clean meals/day; I work from home and have lots of great grocery…

HRM or FitBit?
A little confused - I want something to track calories burned at the gym during classes and something more accurate than the display on cardio machines......what do you use/recommend? Do I HAVE to wear a chest strap or is there something just for my wrist?
-
how much do I burn in a fitness class?
Newbie here! I just joined the local Y last week and will be doing cardio pump, pilates, zumba, bootcamp, gravity and spinning.....is anyone familiar with any of these classes? How do I log them in my exercise diary? Should I just get a HRM or FitBit?
-
what do you eat before/after a morning workout?
Newbie here - my apologies if this has been asked many times! :) I will be working out in the mornings sometime between 9-11am (cardio or weights or a class)....I get up at 7:30, eat breakfast (usually greek yogurt with berries and a little granola)....but wondering what everyone else is doing before/after? Thanks!
