I’m starting my 2nd week of LCHF. I’ve done Atkins in the past, so it was easy for me to follow along here and adapt to this way of eating… albeit slight changes. I don’t find it as restricting and it’s definitely curbing my hunger more! Last week I started with the simple swap carbs for fat rule, cut out all sodas and sugars. Now I’m back to planning meals and logging them in my FitDay tracker. This forum is a saving grace and I’ve been able to answer most of my questions… but here are some:
Is my Base Metabolic Rate are the calories I eat to maintain or loose…vs. Daily Energy Expenditure? I couldn’t figure that out.
I once found a list/spreadsheet of acceptable foods on one of the threads and now cannot find it to save my life. Any help?
In the “Keto eating in one sentence” thread, the gentleman said if you are not sure about a food, to look up it’s nutrition value and figure out the carbs for 100g, and if the carbs are below 4 or 5 is okay to eat. What? why 100g? From my past Atkins experience and reading here, I have a good idea of what’s acceptable or not… just would love to have cheat sheets for reference!
Also-- I’m taking this one step at a time… I’ve been overloading on info and my mind shuts down. I read about these people who are taking the glucose counts, keto strips… I just cannot focus on that right now, hope that is okay?? hahaha
Lastly, is anyone doing any type of therapy? Would love to start as I am a food addict, but not sure who to target a health professional.
Thank you in advance ~ kac
