Back on low carb, anyone want to join me?

[50andgoingstrong]

I lost all my excess weight two years LCHFing. It's crept back on over the past year as ive reaching for the frackers, been, eating the kids chips etc. Carb creep and not tracking...means I'm 15lbs over where I like to be ☹️

So, I need to reboot.

I've started tracking today. My aim is to have less than thirty grams carbs a day...

I am armed with double cream, babybel and dark chocolate.

Anyone want to join me?

I meant to add- you may well find that your taste buds change and you don’t want anything very sweet, or that it only takes a tiny bit of sweetener for something to taste extremely sweet.

Day 12✅ 32g carbs (14g fibre)
Day 13 ✅ 37g carbs (19g fibre)

50, please could you share an example of a day's meals that equate to 32g carbs (14g fiber)?
Trying to gauge my meal planning and have variety in meals. currently having eggs for breakfast and spinach and baby leaf salad, chicken or fish grilled for lunch and similar for dinner with veg (broccoli and cauliflower).

Day 14 - ✅ 71g carbs (17g fibre).

Tired and no food in. Ended up eating a chicken spinach wrap!

zoti. I'll have a look at MFP and post days meals.

B - spinach pepper chorizo omelette made with cream and butter. Tea. Dark choc

L - sweet chilli salmon flakes salad leaves red pepper mayo raspberries cream

D- no dinner. Started 18 hr fast.

S - babybel

Thanks so much for info 50. Wow, 18 hr fast. Yet to try intermittent fasting. I hear it speeds up the weight loss?
Cheers

Day 15✅ 49g carbs 14g fibre

Cakes at work today for colleagues birthday. Half a Cream filled Chocolate eclair only 7g carbs 🙂

Fasting is easy because you're not that hungry! Not sure if this speeds up weight loss - guess it depends on the rest of your week!

✌🏽
My scale hasn’t shifted for 4 days! Help
This is despite eating much less than I used to eat when I was eating starchy carbs! What is going on, all?

4 days is too soon to tell.
Sometime it takes a week or two.

Ok😊

Have had a rubbish day 109g carbs 10g fibre so far. I'm out at a party tonight too!

Start again tomorrow!

Thinking of subscribing to Les Mills on demand to do the wide range of exercises in the hope of speeding up weight loss. Currently, go to local gym 4/5 days a week though thinking if I had these effective exercises at my fingertips then maybe....

Did anyone try Les Mills on demand at home?

Sorry have fallen off the thread a bit.

Had a really busy week and just haven't had chance. I've had a few carb slips up at work things where I've had no choice but I'm trying so hard to not

Ah 50, it's so hard somedays and I also think it's w balance between losing weight but also enjoying things. Enjoy the party!

I've got that delicious aubergine gratin tonight that was recommended on here. Yum!

Day 16 ✅(I'm ignoring the last two days) 47g carbs 11g fibre

Big party weekend so god knows! But! Did a weigh in anyway and......

1lb off. Very happy 😀

Well done, 50.

Just tried two tablespoons of chia seeds in almond milk and allowed it to set. Lots of fiber and very low net carbs.,

Thanks zoti. I must investigate chia seeds. Where do you buy them?

How was the aubergine gratin anna?

Day 17 ✅ 43g (12g fibre)

Anyone else finding this easier in the Heat?
Lots of fluids are part of this woe.

Starting an 18hr fast now. Pints of iced water will get me through 💦

I buy the organic chia seeds from Costco. It is sold in most large supermarkets though as well as health shops.

I am intrigued about your fasting, 50. Is that to speed up weight loss or for other benefits physiological benefits, if you don't mind me asking. I am trying to do a full 12-14 hr fast by eating my supplier earlier at between 7-8pm than I normally do (at 9-10pm). I normally don't have my first meal till 11.30-midday. That is because I have lemon and hot water first thing then have my coffee and cream only as i walk to the gym for my hour's work out (did spin today) then when I get back I pooter around till I am hungry (usually after 11.30am). so probably doing 14/15 hr fast most days (if you don't count coffee and cream as breaking fast). I know some keto gurus don't but I am not sure. I need the coffee to do my early morning energetic workouts. so much to coordinate!!:)
Any thoughts?

sorry meant 'supper' and 'potter' of course1 fat fingers :)

I just started it because I wasn't always hungry in the evenings and eat early anyway. I have breakfast early, 6.30am so I stop after lunch a couple of days a week.

If I were you just design it around your norm. Although I'm not sure about coffee and cream. I'm not doing keto just low carb. Maybe biwi on bootcamp would know?

For me I doubt it has speeded up weight loss but it definately keeps me on the straight and narrow!

Thanks for response. 👍🏽

Day 18✅58g carb (9g fibre)

I am still here, on plan, but nit much happened after father's day. Currently 9sto.8 lbs. I really would like that to reach 8st 5lbs. But it is going painfully slow, and somedays I don't plan then I have to do with whatever available which means eating very less(two eggs normally) and fill me up with cream coffeex3 and cheese triangles(2). This need to change 😟
I do IF most days too Zoti, like you said though. I need that coffee in the mormimg, but could go until 11.30 before I eat anything. I used to do breakfast at 7.30 and lunch by 11.30. Can't believe that was just two months ago! So much have changed since then. Anyone know about cholestrol levels on Keto diet, any links/good read? My hubby want to tey this woe but his Ch is always on border, so don't want to push that high.
Enjoy the sun! I can't resist licking the icecream scoop- could feel it cooling my body down! 🙈 I am not going more than that though! 8st5lbs. I need to be there 😆

Argh! Just meant to say ice-cream scoop when I give to kids after we walk down from school!! I am playing this right this time 😬

Haha, Linzdreamz, temptations! temptations! i know what you mean. It was so hot yesterday I felt like one but refrained and had a chilled Kirkland coconut water and counted it in my macros.

Heading off to Kettlercise at 6pm ... and I have been hitting my 10,000 steps a day this week.

I haven't weighed myself (I fear it won't be much and may demoralize me), though my clothes feel better. Wore my jeans this morning and had less of a muffin top:)
