Re: Slow Carb Diet
I'm built for convenience myself with 2 tiny kids at home. I do 2/3c of Egg Beaters, with 5 tbsp of black beans from a can (rinse and drained), fresh sprigs of parsley, and about 2 cups of fresh o...
Re: Mood Swings on Cheat Day
I too feel really bad after cheating. I'm wondering if its even worth it. I cheated yesterday and I just feel so DEPRESSED. I would like to hear what other people think. It feels awful. I feel fat...
Re: Eye-balling food or use scales
When you make the same thing over and over and over again you don't have to measure stuff. I think I measured it once and then eye-balled it the rest of the way. I do use LoseIt.com to track my nu...
Re: Women with small children, how is your progress?
I have 2 children (10months and 4 years) that drive me up a wall as well as I'm a full time nurse outside the home. I average 5-7lbs a week loss. I have lost 66lbs but have lost track of what week...
I have 4 meals a day: 6:30a, 10:30a (half my very large salad), 2:30p (other half), 6:30p. I'm done by 7p and am fasting from 7p to 6:30a. I aver...
sugar alcohol upsets my stomach..
Re: HGC and Slo-Carb diet?
I would agree. It's very low cal and might cannibalize your muscles instead of feeding it healthy lean proteins and nutrients from veggies. Sounds like a bad idea.
I use them. They have a buttload of fiber so beware. If you cook them they really don't have a flavor but if you want that texture go for it. I pu...
I had trouble with radishes as being too high in carbs. It stalled me when I put radishes in breakfast and salad for lunch. It's a root veggie li...
This is a SCD question because I can drop 2-3lbs a day if I try hard on SCD. I want to know how this COMMUNITY that uses SCD deals with issues lik...
Re: Any super-fat people attempting this?
I am 27 years old, female mother of 2, I'm 5'5 and started at 271lbs in Sept 2012. I haven't been as STRICT as I should have been on this diet or I'd be half my size now, but it does work. As of A...
Re: sugar free soft drink. why only 450ml?
It also disrupts your gut flora (your good stomach bacteria). It has a lot of sodium and your body processes it like alcohol and the by product of this turns it into formaldehyde (the stuff they p...
Chips are also a domino food. Doesn't really matter if they're approved or not when you eat the whole bag. That's why I had to toss mine.
DietBet.com - Losing too quick?
Silly question, but I just signed up for a $50 dietbet. If you don't know how it works, you have to lose 4% of your body weight in 28 days or you lose all your money. If you do lose 4% or more, y...
Re: MyFitnessPal
Eh, I use LoseIt.com and its app for micro-nutrients I post every day even if its the same thing just for the accountability.
Even 1 glass of milk or 1 piece of bread with my food stalls my weight loss. I weigh every day. I lose 1lb every day, EXCEPT on days when I *cheat...
1 can of beans is too much... I do maybe 1/2 cup of black beans in my eggs, 1/4 cup of beans in my salad and no beans for dinner cause I don't nee...
I eat way too much peanut butter (on celery sticks) and it has made no difference. I don't think a little of bad things will affect you as much as...
I have a 6 month old baby too and have been breastfeeding on this diet. I would suggest taking the prenatal vitamins if you still have the prescri...
Re: Accountability Partners?
I'm on the Lose It community. I weigh in about 4-7 times a week and admit publicly that I ate a piece of candy or had a cheese burger. add me there, email me, or text.. don't care. I've lost 26 l...
I do count calories with LoseIt.com just as a reminder of what you are actually putting in your mouth. On my cheat day, I ate McDonalds and was ho...
I wanted to try IF but am breastfeeding and worried it would destroy my supply. I skipped dinner once and had no output what so ever. I dunno if I...
Ah, I was getting into ketosis actually a lot a couple weeks ago...
Re: Worst taste in my mouth.
Same, I just carry around sugar free gum (for a sweet fix) and chew until my next meal. That's the taste of your fat burning off, embrace it!
Re: Check your vitamins!
Ah, I've been taking leftover prenatal vitamins.. Maybe I should check them...
I can't ever imagine going back to my old life with what I know now...
I agree. Last cheat day I didn't even want cheat food. I ate a sandwich and some stuffed grape leaves and I couldn't bring myself to really be a b...
I actually get a bad sugar rush on cheat day. I feel so sick. You can tell how bad you're previous life style really was..
