Thank you everyone. Feeling like im in good hands.
About me.
Will be 45 this August
5’11
Hips that dont lie
Birdy ankles
Determined!
Im not a Crossfit type or Yoga.

I like yoga but i lack upper body so it stresses me.
I like stairs, walking and treadmills
I hate cottage cheese texture
Pants 14 Old Navy Curvy
I started health journey 2014 Mothers Day. I lost almost 90lbs. Got close to goal 3lbs away and freaked out. Dont understand


Dont understand when it says because of my body i can eat more. It know i want to lose 1.5lbs a week. I just feel if i dont do it (i haven’t been taking its advice) so im wondering if thats why its stalled.
The diet was Medifast 2 years to lose 80 but it was 800 to 1000 calories a day. So its hard wrapping my head around EAT MORE to lose

Also what I am showing you. I need structure. That is why Weight Watchers didnt work. They kept changing the rules. Im not looking to diet. Im just looking to be in control but i dont want to waste my time. Im dead serious. I know i can do this. I just want to make sure im cut out for it. Thats why I asked is their a Body keto doesn’t work. I know it can work for me. Im O Negative…i feel my best on red meat. Salads i feel bloated.

Looking at your food journal you are eating prepackaged foods, artificial sweeteners, dairy and nuts. These may not be an issue for you personally, but they are for some and may be you also. It is best to just stick with whole foods. If you feel better eating meat, eat meat. I don’t eat many veggies. I don’t eat dairy. I don’t eat artificial sweeteners or keto treats and I rarely eat nuts.

All that being said it is early. Weight loss is not a straight downward line. Just keep your carbs low and eat real food. Cut out one or more of the above and it may help. Best of luck!

Interesting. Sigh :tired_face: No not my sour cream
I hear you
Make sense.
Boy, gottah realy stay off of YouTube.
Keto this and that. Too good to be true is what they say.
Egg
Avocado
And then what?
Tell me and I will do it.
Tell me MCT with coffee is not necessary either
I hadn’t done it in a few days was focusing on water. And figure the keto cake had all the fat…

You don’t have to give it all up. Keep the dairy for awhile you can always cut that out later if you want/need to.

On the weekends I eat eggs, bacon and sausage for my first meal usually. Sometimes I’ll have coffee. I have grown to like black coffee but HWC is good to use. No you don’t need MCT (I bought some too when I first started). I found it gave me an upset stomach even in small quantities. I don’t generally eat breakfast during the week.

During the week I’ll eat leftovers from dinner. I eat mainly meat. Steak, chicken thighs, Crock-Pot beef or pork (cheap cuts), ground beef and breakfast for dinner. Sometimes I’ll add a veggie in if I feel like it or eat an avocado.

It’s really just about eating real foods. :slight_smile:

@Kitty808 What works for me is mostly meat and vegetables with limited dairy.

My dinner meals this week looked like this:

RIbeye with broccoli sauteed in bacon grease.
Chicken legs with cabbage and brussels sprouts sauteed in bacon grease.
Pork Roast with green beans sauteed in you know what.
Cheddar bacon cheeseburger (with keto mug bun), lots of pickles and a small salad.
Pork chops with broccoli…
Baked salmon with zuchinni spirals.

My shopping list is pretty uncomplicated and I really enjoy what I eat… and my body seems to enjoy it too. :wink:

Well, no, it’s not neccesary actually. I mean the way I see it, I want my body creating its own ketones for fuel. I got PLENTY of tinder to go around lol. I almost feel like adding MCT will just make my body be lazy on creating its own ketones. Maybe Im wrong.

I didn’t even know why i was taking it. Just watched too much YouTube

It shouldnt be that hard to find things that are not pre packaged. Im in Hawaii. Time to get back intouch with my rootz…Thank God all the foods i started with 20 some days ago were all red meats. Cause I am so jonzing fish. From water to frying pan to plate :hugs:

I picked up 4pc of Marlin fish.

If you want someone to tell you what to do I will. Read the obesity code by dr Jason Fung. This will give you the knowledge base in order to understand your metabolism and what has happened to it.

You have done so well. Congratulations


(Kitty Pooh Pooh ) #20

Because you are the 2nd person to tell me this.
Im going to the book store right this 2nd before i go home with my fish. Thank you

Thank you :kissing_heart:. Never Give Up.
My Why has always been the same as it was 4 years ago. For my son. Hes 17. My dad past at 54 and mom passed at 66
I am 44. I did the math. I refuse to have him take care of me at the peak of his life time. He has already gone through 4 grand parents in his short little life time.

If they don’t have it, ask them to order it for you. Jason Fung is an angel sent here to help us all. I’ve read the book twice so I can share better share his wisdom with others.
