I am doing weight watchers, and it has been super successful for me. Unfortunately, right now, I have two relationships ending at the same time, so I've lost about 30 pounds in six weeks from the stress, which is too fast. I need to slow it down so it is sustainable and I can maintain it.

What is Keto? I have been using the LoseIt App and I plan my meals for dinner with it. Since I walk about 7.5 hours a day at work, I have been accruing a lot of calories. So far, I am down almost 8,000 calories for the week.

Thank you!

Well I got a physical today and I weight 20 pounds less than last year. I didn't think I would lose that much but little things add up, like reducing carbs and portions. I need to start gaining some muscle though my arms are weak

Yes it works! Losing the carbs changes the body thats for sure!

I just bumped the High Protein/Low carb thread.

It is chock-full of terrific recipes and great information on low carb and paleo.

I've lost 8.4 lbs since July 17th. I've been trying to walk 5 miles a day and eating better. I cut out pop and sweets plus cutting back on carbs.

I've done keto in the past as a meat eater. Can you do keto as a vegetarian or vegan?

Yes, you can. A Ketogenic Diet is a diet that is low in carbohydrates, high in fat, and has a moderate level of protein.

Download a sample Keto Diet plan and customize to your liking.

Good luck!

I have lost 15 lbs since July 17th. I have 8.2 lbs to go to reach my first goal. I've cut out pop and candy totally. I've cut back on carbs. It's hard to eat as healthy as I would like since I live with my mother. She fries most everything and there's always lots of potatoes and carbs. I do my best though. I did eat 2 m & m cookies on Wednesday (so I guess I can't say all candy). I feel guilty so I walked 2 extra miles that day. I was hoping to be at my first goal by my birthday on Thursday. I wanted to be able to put my first goal weight on my driver license. I am not sure if that's possible. I'm going to do my best!

FireSignFemme · 08-13-2017, 04:15 PM

Since watching calories/cutting slightly back on carbs wasn't making a difference, decided drastic dietary changes were in order/began in earnest yesterday. Wound up sleeping 16 hours, woke early this morning to leg cramps and worst headache I've had since brain surgery. From what I've read sleep only prolongs these symptoms. It's advised to resist urge to go back to bed so to help stay awake drank coffee, to combat cramping had bouillon. Surprisingly it did help. Fortunately I've been slowly working up to this change or no telling how wanting to rip fistfuls of my hair out and scream this induction phase would be making me. Don't understand why I'm so tired despite reducing carbs. Usually if I eat a lot of carbs it knocks me right out. Anyhow I'm envying Monte right now. He got to stay up late, party unchecked most of the night, play outside all full of energy this morning, overeat, zonk out and sleep all afternoon – he's still asleep. Well maybe some more coffee and dinner a bit earlier than usual. Seems this change is turning me into a real whiner – I hate that, I don't much like, care for people who whine a lot and it now it seems I'm turning into one.

Wrang1er · 09-15-2017, 06:38 AM

I am now down 21.4 lbs since July 17th. I have 1.8 lbs to go before hitting my first goal. I should have already reached that goal but unfortunately I have been slacking the last couple weeks. Better late than never though!

Hey, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! That is very impressive Wrangler!

Coconut oil, olive oil, and nuts, yes keto has and continues to be terrific. And, that Irish butter "Kerrygold" (pasture raised) is an option if your not strict on being veggie.

This is Dr. Eric Berg whose channel is full of solid info on keto.

The Best Way for a VEGAN to Lose Belly Fat

Top Vegan (Plant-Based) Protein Sources

Best Vegan Source of Vitamin B12

Hope this helps, and much success to you.

I wanted to share three videos by Eric Berg that gave me
valuable information to support my health.

Body Type l What Is My Shape l How to Find Your Body Type

What to Eat for Your Body Type?

How to Exercise for Your Body Type

So, hope this helps and did help me a great deal. As a stressed-out
Newyorrican, and later learned adrenal type, daily runner, and intense
work more than 6 days a week...yes, what can I say...I've reduced my
running to every other day, and since returning from last month on my
island, am down to 4 mi on those days. The other days I am yes, walking,
hiking, enjoying the beauty of this place, breathing, stretching, swimming
and encouraging myself not to think less of myself because I'm not
struggling through exercise, or anything else for that matter. In other
words, the war is over in my life.

I began looking at this way back in 2010 after my disastrous
NYC Marathon attempt.
I failed big time, but was directed to these videos, and
well, the rest is history. And yes, I do this now as a vegan.
So, for more information visit Dr. Eric Berg's Youtube channel.
There are success videos also that will bring tears to your eyes.

May this support you as well.
