Good morning! Thank you everyone for your encouragement!!! I had two things going on yesterday that prevented me from being online long enough to reply but I did read your responses and it helped me. *group hug* Cheryl, I haven't talked with my saboteur friend yet as she was having a major personal crisis yesterday but I will soon. I see her nearly every weekend and sometimes through the week so having her on board is more important than I originally thought. I did better yesterday with food choices... In fact, I made the rotel dip and ate it with pork rinds. Yum!!! I kept thinking "I can't believe this is part of my diet!". Lol Weigh in later today (no scale at home)... I'll update again. :0) Does your friend need to lose weight? Maybe you could recruit her into LC and make her an diet buddy? If she doesn't need to lose weight you still might be able to convert her into a diet buddy by enlisting her as a moral supporter. The thing to watch out for, and keep from happening, is don't ever, even once, allow her to play the devil's advocate. Never let her be adversarial. Never allow her to challenge your approach juxtaposed to the mainstream CICO well balanced poop. She is not informed about LC and all she knows about the mainstream crap are the mainstream lies about the mainstream crap. So, the strategy has to be either positive moral support or no talk about how you are eating. Be firm. You guys have everything else in the entire world to talk about so what you are doing for weight loss compared to all the possible stuff is 0.0000000001% of available topics.

Don't usually weigh myself more than once a week, but jumped on the scale today. I'm up 2 lbs since saturday. It's very difficult for me to lose weight and 3 yrs ago I packed on the pounds and none of the doctors were of any help or had any reasons. One of my reasons for going NK was to see if the ketones feeding my heart would help with severe AFib. Haven't had a bad spell since last week and for that I'm grateful. Not sure if NK is helping but from what I've read, the heart prefers the ketones and functions much better on them so we shall see. My cardiologist says valves look good and heart thickness is fine but when they pile on it still feels like the end is near as I can't breathe. I also have no thyroid (1991), Graves disease, and like a fool I let them destroy it with radioactive iodine, damaging my parathyroid in the process. Can't process fat well as no gallbladder.....so, I'm an n=(-)1..... I will not get discouraged as I've been down this path before, I change my diet, get an initial drop, get hopeful, then weeks later begin to regain what I initially lost. I've eaten about as clean as a person can the past 3 yrs and the only difference now is that I'm doing the HF to go with the LC I've been on. I have not measured and if I find my tape measure I will, but my clothes do seem to fit less tight so I will push forward until this WOE proves not to be good for me and I don't think it will. off to get ready for work........hope you all have a great day! Well, that is a lot on your plate. LC/NK may not be the answer for you but carb restriction is a going to be the best possible path forward because of the low inflammation that eating low carb brings to your body. You are taking thyroid meds, right? Phinney said in the LTS podcast that getting that sort of med dosed right to do what it is supposed to do *and* not get in the way of weight loss is truly an art form. The gallbladder is an issue but not a show stopper. Lots of people, apparently, without that organ can still do LCHF. For you, I think, energy balance will actually be a critical factor. I don't mean eat very low calories but without a thyroid you will need to be more careful and watch for trends over time with calorie intake. Also, do you exercise? Most exercise is not helpful for weight loss. All exercise creates an inflammatory response. For you that means dosing of exercise and type of exercise will have more impact than otherwise. Tread carefully in this area.

Lessee. I did not post my WI for Sunday morning or my log for yesterday. WI was 176.5 for a one point four bounce which was annoying. But I realized that I hadn't been drinking my broth so I think part of my problem has been not getting enough sodium in the last few days. I made sure to do the broth Sunday evening: Numbers and log for Sunday. Calories: 2,960 Fat: 247 Pro: 148 Car: 52 73/20/7 Breakfast: Iced coffee & HWC, CO on the side. Lunch: None. Dinner: Pork chops, broth [bacon grease, bouillon, cabbage]. Snack: Cocoa almonds. Coconut oil....26 grams Cream, heavy, fluid....104 grams Almonds, Blue D. Cocoa....140 grams Animal fat, bacon grease....25 grams Cabbage, green, raw....42 grams Pork chop, lean only eaten....300 grams Pepperoni_Custom....149 grams Chicken bouillon - customized....2 envelope yields ....and this morning's WI was 174.9 for a one point six drop and essentially back down to the day before WI And I am almost caught up on posting. I still have to post my HIT from Friday over on the Exercise thread.

Reddarin Re: Holidays Unfortunately my family doesn't do 'normal' - even for holiday meals! Thanksgiving - Yaki Soba (a Japanese noodle dish) Christmas - Spaghetti LOL - But we put bacon in our Yaki Soba, so I'll just fry up some bacon and cabbage for myself instead on the side. Haven't decided what I'll do for Christmas... maybe I'll just bring some shiritaki noodles and eat same thing as everyone else (sort of). As long as I plan in advance I think I'll be okay. My family has wanted me to lose weight for years so they'll be supportive. Re: My friend She does need to lose weight, however, she has four children, is about to start college, has a job and is about to go through a divorce. So convincing her to change anything else right now is futile and probaby not wise anyway. I'm hoping by her seeing my success (and all the things I can eat) she'll grow more interested but it will take some time. I think I can enlist her as a moral supporter... I'll just have to stress how important this is to me. The good news is that she's quite unlikely to play the devil's advocate, fortunately. She knows I do my research about nearly everything before taking action... we just haven't talked much about the CICO vs NK at all. Thanks for your feedback!!!

I only weigh in once a week (Mondays) - and I'm down one pound from last week. If I were really reasonable, I'd be super happy about a 1 pound loss and it's definitely better than gaining or staying the same... but I'm not happy, especially since I did break down (out of curiousity) and weighed myself on Friday and I was down THREE pounds. So my weekend bender took 2/3rds of my loss away. Totally not worth it. So in a way, this is good! It means next time I'm tempted to go 'in for a penny, in for a pound' (to borrow Reddarin's phrase) I'll remember that I really might be 'in for a pound' or two! (I know, I know... the pound in the quote actually refers to European money... but it still fits here. lol) Excellent motivation and... I'm still down one pound!

I do believe that NK will prove life changing for you. You are to be commended. You are out there looking for ways to help yourself and I believe you will find them. Hooray for you!! Hooray for the 1 lb that you lost. I too have had Graves disease and still have thyroid problems. NK has been very good for me. My goiter has shrunk and I feel so much better. I still struggle and have times when my energy is awful and I feel bad but I have learned a ton of things and I am better on NK. I have seen some that struggle and give up. Sometimes our struggles are an opportunity to learn and I am glad I have stuck with NK. I was developing Asthma when I started NK. I haven't had an attack now in almost a year. Your weight gain was hormonal so do not beat yourself up. I am sorry about the Radioactive Iodine. Doctors can be very frustrating. Graves is a hard thing to deal with and it affects your reasoning and emotions. My Dr tried using what I would call scare tactics to get me to do RI. The thing that saved me was that I would be unable to be around children for a few days. Otherwise I may have gone thru with it too. I read about something interesting the other day. When your thyroid does not give your body the right level of thyroid hormones you put on weight. The weight is not necessarily body fat. It is a sludgy waste product called myxedema. I had always wondered why I was so fat but could not pinch and inch. Have you had your hormones tested?

Weigh in: 172. I stayed pretty much the same for October, which I expected since I was eating at maintenance level. I plan to focus on weight loss the next 2 months, and hope to reach 165 by the end of the year.

Clueless,
Thank you for the thyroid information. I watched the video and for the life of me I can NOT pinch my skin on my arms. I've not tried the legs. I've never heard of this. I have a high Reverse T number, but my last doc said don't know how to fix it. I've tried for 20plus years to get on armor but NO docs will allow that. I don't do well on synthetic anything. I have lots of autoimmune issues going on as well. Also, no one ever told me that with Graves, even tho they destroy the thyroid, you still have the disease. I've had no luck finding any docs in my area that listen to my long list of symptoms, etc. That's why I search the net to find things to help myself. I have come a very long way. At my worst I was down flat for 2 yrs, and my hubby fed, dressed, bathed me, etc. I know I will never be 100% but even the life I enjoy now is a million times better than what I started with.
Now I will have to google on myxedema and see what I find. As for hormone testing, estrogen gone, and thyroid is always in their huge range, but I don't think in optimal range for me. Again, no one goes by symptoms, only blood tests, and when something is found, they say they don't know how to fix it. It's exhausting.
thanks again for the info......

Log for 4 Nov Calories: 1,154
FAT: 91g PROTEIN: 67g CARBS: 18g
BREAKFAST: 3 egg omelet with mushrooms and red pepper Lunch: A bit of stir fried chicken, some chicken gravy, a few green beans and dark kidney beans. Dinner: 4 ozs of roast and a BPC
My ketone strips arrived from Canada today. I’ll be testing in the morning (fasting) and at bedtime for a week to see where I’m at. I’ve been on the NK WOE since 13 Oct but was VLC for at least a month prior to the NK change. I’m hoping to see ketosis but if not that would explain why I’m up and down once again on the scale. I’m determined to figure out the best WOE for me and my challenging body. I thrive on VLC but the weight has to go and I can’t shake it. Crossing my fingers that the strips will shed some light.

You might be interested in listening to some podcasts by Julia Ross if you haven't already. She has a few podcasts with Jimmy Moore. livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/tag/julia-rossNot for her diet info, she does go with LC but more for her supplement info. I take tyrosine especially for my thyroid but not sure it will help when your thyroid doesn't function. Can you find a naturopath? Have you heard of salivary hormone testing? Have you ever talked to a Dr or NP about using Porcine thyroid glandular? Before I started LC I was getting to the point that all I felt like doing was crawling up on the couch and dying. Sometimes I forget I used to feel so bad. Glad you are doing better and glad you have a wonderful hubby.

Good morning everyone. I decided since I'm tracking blood ketones I will also weigh daily. My wt is down 1 this morning and drum roll......my blood ketone is only .3 so I am NOT in ketosis. I just knew my body was stubborn!!! So, I think now that I have this new tool I may be able to know now what I'm doing wrong. So much for the ketostix. I will continue to track those as well to see what they reflect vs the blood readings.
I'm going to go back up on my FAT, especially the coconut oil as that doesn't require the gallbladder. I'm going to throw a Tbsp in my omelet this morning and see how that works. I will also add another decaf BPC after work as I do one now during my lunch. I'll try this for a week and see how the numbers roll. My protein is at my ideal wt now, 65gs give or take a gram. My carbs are under 20 and it's very hard for me to get lower without feeling more tired. So, that's why I think I need to add the fat. Coconut oil IS ketones, so surely that will push me to .5, don't ya think?
Thank you all for being here. It's so nice to have a community to come to and to share the good and the bad.

I have 2 ketone test strips that came with my glucose meter, but haven't got around to using them.

"my blood ketone is only .3 so I am NOT in ketosis" In the common LC vernacular, if you restrict carbs enough the result is always ketosis barring contrary factors and influences like excessive protein intake, hormonal issues (always caused by very low calories in a healthy individual), external stress, carb cycling, weekly planned cheat meals, cheating, etc. You are not in a state of nutritional ketosis as defined by Phinney and Volek since the range they established is .5 to 3.0 mmol. But the NK range has nothing to do with weight loss. There is no correlation or causation between higher BK readings and weight loss. BK levels *only* indicate how efficient your body is at utilizing body fat as a fuel source. I know that sounds like I am splitting hairs but Phinney was very clear in the LTS podcast that weight loss is not directly tied to BK levels: 108:00 - Higher in the ketogenic range (0.5-3.0) only ensures excellent fuel flow. "There is nothing about having a specific blood ketone level that guarantees weight loss. What that does guarantee is excellent fuel flow. So if you can then use that fuel flow by either cutting back modestly on the total amount of calories eaten or just upping the amount of calories expended ... the result is the expected shifts in body composition." Outside of athletic endeavors, testing BK levels is a very accurate way to establish the upper limit for protein grams which in turn makes testing a very fast way of getting your protein macro right. Ideally, you want to eat as much protein as you can in the 1.0g to 2.0g range while staying in the NK BK range. To illustrate: Say your protein gram range as established by the formula in the intro is 100 to 150 grams. Testing BK lets you know that if you eat 140g+ you fall out of the NK BK range. So you set your goal protein macro at 130g daily and you know through periodic testing that protein is not interfering with NK adaptation. Or testing might reveal that anything over 100g pushes you out of range. Why do I say that the ideal is to eat as much protein within the recommended range as you can? Because your BK level establishes that the protein intake is not turning into sugar and therefore is being used for maintaining, and/or growth, of LBM as well as whatever other bodily functions that amino acids support. Moderate protein consumption means the biggest calorie component of your diet will be fat as long as you do not fall into the trap of eating very low calories (or are forced to because of health issues). "My carbs are under 20 and it's very hard for me to get lower without feeling more tired" Probably you do not need to be that restrictive. Since you are testing your BKs you can experiment with up to 50g total carbs, and maybe a bit higher, and know for sure what level impacts your body negatively.

Weigh-in this morning ... 175.2 for a point three bump Gotta be honest... I'm never quite sure how to react to the weight postings in that the bump doesn't seem that big and I'm guessing isn't bad? But just in case... My bounces and drops are legendary and since I weigh and post every day I am immune to the turbulent nature of the scale. I get annoyed at bounces but really it is due to how they mess up my spreadsheet averages. Like if I have a 3 pound bounce, I *know* that it is not real but it for real screws up my average lol. One reason that my bouncing around doesn't bother me, in and of itself, is that my spreadsheet shows that I generally trend steadily down. Here is my rolling 4 week average for the time frame 10/21/2013 to 11/04/2013. This block of time also shows that I trended up slightly on the 4th and 3rd entries from the bottom. *That* is from the big bounces that skew the averages. I have big drops too, which skew the average in the other direction, but I think I have big bounces more often. I figure since gravity is a generally recognized force, the big drops are more reflective of reality than the big bounces because I am not floating above the scale and any water retention has a big impact on the scale. If that makes sense. It makes sense in my head anyway. 176.79 176.74 176.73 176.55 176.39 176.25 176.16 176.09 176.07 175.91 175.74 175.65 175.70 175.64 175.59 However, generally speaking I am not a big fan of daily weigh-ins for most people. It is very hard to stay motivated when you WI daily because most everyone has big bounces. So, three or four days of meticulously sticking to plan and then seeing a big 4 pound bounce can be a real kick in the butt if you are not mentally ready for one-offs like that. People tend to focus on the diet and the scale and forget about everything else going on in their lives when they see a bad WI. The fact of the matter is, diet is only a small part of losing weight. Exercise is, of course, *no* part of losing weight. But everything else about your body and your life impact weight loss. Stress, in particular, is the 500 pound gorilla. TOM. Physical problems too - injuries of any sort make the body want to conserve resources like body fat. Sleep is a big deal. Proper supplements like magnesium can be a big deal depending on the food you are eating regularly. Everything around you that doesn't go into your mouth impacts weight loss. But I agree it is very hard to know how to react sometimes. At another thread I used to run on another forum it was very time consuming looking up past WI posts to figure out if the WI was up and how much or down and how much heh.

LOL - I've done that numerous times on this. Then there was the time I posted a celebratory 'yay' a day late... hit send and promptly saw a newer post with a pound + bounce. Ay yi yi... what to do?
Your reasoning makes sense to me... don't know if that's a good thing or not though! LOL I don't weigh every day precisely for the reasons you mentioned. I simply can't watch the ups and downs daily. It's demoralizing even when I know there are multiple factors at play.

So it would appear that this evening I've made it above the .5. I expect it to be low in the morning. I did bump up my fat today with more coconut oil which causes me to go above my calorie goal. I'll keep the goals above for a week and see where it leads me.
