Low-carb diets support thread

nuttybabe

Thanks Mazzers, that was me asking about heart burn. OH wakes up in the night choking on sick, he gets it so bad. I used to when i was pregnant but dont really have much of a problem now (unless i am really really really really naughty). Another reason why he should be on low carb. am wondering if i can put him on it without him realising!!! his breakfast cereal and milk is 25g, if i can get him low carb bread, he can have that for lunch and tea will be meat with a few home made chips and lots of salad. do you think if he stuck to 50-60g of carbs a day he could still lose?

yay, bathroom finished so will have my weigh in tomorrow.

todays food is

b - peanut butter on a spoon - all gone now so must make oopsie later for tomorrow
l - mince and veg
t - chicken fajita with luttuce as wrap, hubby will have 1 wrap but no chips as at a kids party so wont have time to do chips when i get back.

must have a snack before kids party as lunch is now, then all afternoon in toddler group and then party so dont want to be snacking on the party food.

Hi guys some advice if I may. Ive lost over 3 stone low carrbing with just a little to go now. This has been over about 6 months with a break for Christmas. Im now 9 stone 13 pounds and havent lost for a while. Ive got a feeling ive reached plateau (sp?) can anyone advise what I could do to give my body a kick up the bum re start? I stick as close to 20g carbs a day and on ocasion eat a few berries as a treat at night time.
Another thing ive noticed is that I eat mainly frozen veg. Ive had some from Farmstores and the back stats from cauliflower 1.2g carrbs per 100g and 1.4 for Brocoli. Yet when I look online they say 3+g per 100g. Which is right please. Meanwhile I shall keep srining water. I do have lacro free 'milk' in my tea

Depends on the individual, i can lose on 50g, some people more, some less.
Try it out, he may lose weight on 50-60g.. his heartburn will prob go which will encourage him.

Some people say eat more fat to lose.
You will prob be getting smaller but not losing, i was, something to do with the fat cells so keep at it.

thanks Mazz. Something I should have mentioned is that I eat 10 eggs a week could this be doing it?

Low carb diets work. They tick most boxes. But when you want a lifestyle, rather than a diet look up the Paleo lifestyle.

That old adage that most dieters put on weight after they finish dieting... duhh well they would. Have a lifestyle and stay slim ans be healthy and Paleo is the most natural way to do it.

I have done low carb but was never lighter, stronger or as healthy as I am now on Paleo and guess what, I do not count calories, carbs, protein or fats. No need when the body regulates naturally.

Look up Robb Wolf, you won't regret it.
