Changing Tastebuds?
Hi everyone. I've been going strong or about 2 months now (down 12 lbs yay me) and I've noticed my tastebuds are changing. Sweet things taste different. I no longer enjoy my morning coffee with sweetener. I put a little pizza sauce on my low carb pizza last week and it was so sweet I couldn't eat it! This is unheard of,…

Hello, I'm new(ish), and here's a good recipe :D
Hi everyone! I was here a few years ago, but now I'm back...like a bad, overweight penny. :smiley: I'm 48, doing keto, need to lose about 40-50 lbs I've been lurking for a week or so but I had a really good lunch today so thought I'd share. It was a fancy salad with romaine, real bacon bits, canned lump crab, few tomato…

Back after months away...
Hey all! I used to post in here some months ago. Fell off the LC wagon due to not knowing how to properly handle keto flu / mood swings. I'm back....armed with lots of salt and gatorade ;) I just invested in the upgraded version but now I'm not sure I should have. I know I still need to think about calories, but right now,…

I'm back after partial thyroidectomy
Hi Everyone, You might (or might not) remember me, I was participating here a month or two ago, and was having some trouble with a thyroid nodule. I had the right lobe and nodule removed a little over a week ago (NO CANCER, YAY!) and am starting a low dose of synthroid today. Additionally, my endocrinologist…

Guys....I'm in the weeds :(
Gah OK So apparently I have to have my thyroid removed. I mentioned in a thread a while ago (I expect approximately 0 of you to remember that, LOL) that I was undergoing testing for a potentially cancerous thyroid nodule......and it's come to bear that I will need to have at least half, if not all, of it removed. In the…

Body Aches?
One thing I've consistently noticed when I get going on LC is.....when I wake up in the morning my body just aches. Yes, yes I'm over 41 and over weight....but I don't normally ache like this! Anyone else experience this? I googled and read that my body is "detoxing" but my trust level with things I read on google is about…

What are your thoughts on Aspartame?
I mean, I know in general it's not great for you. But I mean in terms of stalling weight loss. I've read that it can bring on a stall if you have too much of it. The reason I ask, is I was making this amazing concoction where I folded soft set, sugar free orange jello in with whipped heavy cream and let it set. It was like…

What is this sorcery?
I do about 25 - 35 carbs a day and I've been stuck for 3 weeks. Last night I had a "screw it" moment and had a big bowl of pasta. Today I'm down a pound. Is it possible my "sweet spot" for carbs and weight loss is a big higher? Am going to experiment the next few days with hovering around 50 and see what happens. Is this a…

Hi, I'm New
Hi Everyone, I'm not new to MFP, however I have been going low carb for a few weeks and I generally think of this place as being.....well to be honest, rather anti-low carb. So, boy am I glad I did a search just now and found this group! Thanks!
