Good luck on the low carb diet!

Good luck from me too. I wish you the best. And the rash could be caused by the sweat. Have you tried corn starch. It probably needs to be kept dry. Make sure you're drying completely after showering. Hope everything goes well with your doctor's visit.

I dont really do low carb but try to have most my carbs in the earlier hours not always tho so wishing you the best and yep most weight loss is diet so when food is a major issue as it is with many its best to focus on that. I find with me though working out helps me stay more focused with food but my issue is sugar addiction!

lillian- check out the atkins.com website, Ive done low carb before and that website has great resources, tips, tricks and tools. you should be able to find answers to any questions there. again, good luck.

I am on South Beach (which focuses on good v. bad carbs) and I am putting a Paleo and WW Points twist on it. I am sort of keeping an eye on the types of food that is allowed on South Beach and trying to make sure I get the least processed or with chemicals. Then the points side of it (my Mom had all the purchased info so luckily I have a free resource) I am making sure that with my food journal I am making myself accountable for what I eat by counting it out and it'll be helpful long term once I am past phase 2 of South Beach so I am just planning ahead.

The thing I really like, since I have a heavy sugar addiction was the strict first two weeks of absolutely no sugar including fruit sugars. I have a multi-vitamin to balance things out. I only had with-drawl headaches for two days. I really just needed to clear out those cravings. You know things just weren't sweet enough anymore (still working on less salt) and I already feel better.

My main issue was only eating maybe once a day. For the last few years a typical day would be to start off with 32oz of coffee that had about 1/2c of sugar and regular half&half, maybe a snack around typical lunch time (if I bothered), and a dinner which was mainly carb based and usually another 32oz coffee. Of course I never deprived myself of the sweet treats, fast food, soda, etc etc etc.

With this type of program, even despite the hybrid I have jumbled it into, I am forced to recognize three meals, two snacks, and getting water into my body. I have lean proteins and tons of veggies and those fill me up.

I have tired a fiber (0sugar) supplement but it didn't seem to really do anything for my regularity except give me intestinal cramps. As far as other bathroom talk, I notice if I eat too much nuts I am not having an easy go... but salads with too much vinegar/evoo and I am in there an hour later. So I am still trying to get a handle on the fine balance of gut health.

At the beginning I freaked out, I binged on favorites, I whined and complained and thought it wouldn't be possible to stick with it. Now that I'm detoxed it's still hard - especially with pintrest recipes floating around lol - BUT I feel so good without it that I can control myself, drink a bottle of water, and realize I don't really want it cause I like to see when those numbers drop.

You can do it lady!

BTW: something GREAT I found on pintrest that isn't a recipe lol, Buy 2 cylinder vases from Dollar Tree ($1/each) and a bag of decorative stones/rocks from Dollar Tree ($1/each) and go to your local craft store or craft section of Target or Walmart and grab some of those letter stickers. Label one vase "Pounds to Lose" and the other "Pounds Lost". Put the # of stones in that you want to lose in pounds and then as you do you weekly weigh in you take the stones out and put them in the other vase. This way even if your weight loss is small each week or it's not visible to you you will see the stones adding up. :o)

Good luck! I eat pretty low carb (6 1/2 years no pasta, rice, bread, white potatoes, crackers, chips, stuff like that) since having weight loss surgery. You are welcome to check out my blog www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com I post stuff I eat, recipes. Most are high protein, low carb (complex only) and moderate fats (helps with the BM issues)

Hope it gives you a few ideas. Best to you in your getting healthy efforts.

WONDERFUL!!! I pray your success.
Love the energy...i want out of my fat too.

Good job LiliannB!

Sometimes I play hockey sticks w my boobs,LOL

For now I would air area. place fan in your bd rm.
At night go barless n wear a very light weight cotton top. I suggest that you sleep topless.
set fan on low setting. direct air flow toward area on bed where boobs rest.

Being that area is already raw. I suggest no powders sauve lotions scented soaps. never put lotions on area underneath boobs.
When raw do not use powders... under folds, skin to skin contact. Air flow/airing area is a must.

In summer when I work out in garden, I wear baggy loose fitting tops n light weight bra.
when needed I place tissue or thin wash cloth in my bra under ea boob to catch/soak up sweat, to lesson heat n water heat on skin to skin contact.
Only wear a sports bra when exerciseing. just as soom as possible wape/wash off sweat under/around boobs. after done working out r beig outside in heat, do not keep tissue/wash cloths in bra nor pantys.

Now deorderant is also for inner thigh area n under boobs. It lessons water from sweat build up n running downward.
Also it is benifitual to use unscented powder w corn starch, in skin folds n inner thighs.

Air those puppys.

Let's c what else.
Constipation.

have you ever opened a food can n turned the can upside down to get contents to come out n nothing can out but maybe little water.. Ya conents had settle n in doing so it became impacked.
ya when we over eat, we clog up pipes, n can become inpacted :I Also when pipes r clogged we seem to keep on packing in more n more food.

Foods such as but not limit to: pasta white rice,starchs bread bread like type foods flour cheese dairy are known to cause constipation.

It is very important they we eat fiber n drink water.
I strongly suggest: Original Fiber One cereal ( at least 1 cup dyly ) n at least 80 oz of water.
ya at 1st 80 oz is dificult but do it. I drink a gal plus 2 cups of coffee n 1 to 4 cans of diet coke.
My body runs on time. However if I go more than 3 dys w/o nice bm. reluntantly I will take 1/2 pc of 1 pc of chocolate bar of ex lax. Works for me.
Once a wk I have 2 to 5 pruns. Darn store price is costly but it's a small investment in my/our health.
During the wk, we half to have tiny bit of oil to help our bodys to easily work/come to be able to poo.
I use dark but not to dark olive oil. darker color olive oils has nice taste by them self.

Will Dear, I've wrote another novel because I/we care.


I'me uncertain of brand but Wal mart Bi-Low has ice cream that is low carb :)
Based on wigg ens recipes that I've seen on net are filled w carbs, n high in cal's.






Yep air flow is the key.


Oh ya, at night only use top sheet, no blankets, to cover boob/shouder areas.
