Well tonight I got home from work and was putting my little guy to bed and he told me. "Dad your tummy isn't a big soft pillow anymore." I nearly pee'd myself laughing when he told me that. That is my NSV for the day.:rofl:

I keep getting behind on the posts, I read up on today's though. Wonderful posts today! (as always)
Last night we had a unexpected adventure that ended up at our friends house at 8pm. I didn't have dinner, or my emergency pack since we were in the truck, and it's in my car. They had a breakfast casserole that had cheese, sausage, ham, croutons, cheese, eggs and milk. I was STARVING so I had 5 or 6 bites. I wanted to have more but my friend said NO!! He didn't want to be the reason if I "fell off the wagon" so that was nice to have that support. I don't know if that knocked me out of ketosis or not, but today I haven't felt any different. Last night after eating it though, I felt weird "gurgling" in my stomach so I won't want to eat that again! I didn't think I would be in this situation and I prepare for being in this situation but we left in the truck and I didn't think we'd be gone that long. I refuse to beat myself up over it though as I could easily get depressed about it and give up saying to myself, "I can't do this, what's the point?" Well, I picked myself up- when I got home, had a salad, my RTD and vitamins, chugged water and today went back to normal. I will keep at it!! Have a good evening all! |
Couts71 Glad to hear your wife is doing better. Awesome job for keeping up on your IP plan while during her hard times. Thank you so much for being so encouraging and supportive to every single person here, I really appreciate it!
Glad you don't have a "pillow belly" anymore! :D That's awesome! |

Thank you for the recipe. I'm going to the grocery store today. Looking forward to trying them. |
OK.. Just trying to get caught up here!! :) Ya'll have been so busy! :)
If I miss anyone, and I may have to shorten this post, congratulations on all the NSVs. Feeling in control, fitting into new clothing, having better health (and dental health too) I read so many wonderful things! I am very happy for each of you! For those who lost weight, Don't you feel GREAT!! I love when I have a weigh in that I DIDN'T anticipate (in the positive direction)! It leaves me feeling extra energetic for the day! So again, apologies if I don't comment directly, I did read each post and truly love and value the comments and inspiration each gave to me. :hug: Quote:
I love that this diet helps us retrain our families! So many others have made similar comments about their family. I think it is valuable and important. Just think of the great lessons your daughter is getting out of this. Hopefully she learns now how to keep her body healthy from watching you change yours! Quote:

I am glad you are back to dancing. I know you were trying to do some during phase 1 but, this sounds like something you love very much and enjoy participating in more than occasionally. :) Quote:
I love the anecdotes about Alexis. I so understand. Levi chewed on the drip system a bit as a puppy and was done by the time he was 2. Chanel... OH CHANEL! She is crazy and hyper and nothing seems to phase her. She is more into my plants and loves plastic so, damage is a bit more. I keep trying to remind myself she is only 1 and still a puppy and it is all part of the territory for her. Fortunately, it is also all replaceable! :dizzy: Quote:

I have been reading your posts too. Your are such a kind person and so considerate. Thank you for all the wonderful advice and motivation you are sharing. Quote:

Basically we can't make protein from carbs but, our bodies have the ability to make fuel from all sources and to create fuel, we first make a form of a sugar. So, proteins, aminos, & fats are all able to be turned into some form of a sugar and some do become a glucose or a glycogen. Quote:

IMHO, it isn't necessary. Everything I have read says if you keep it under 30 total for 2 weeks you should be able to stay under 60 total and still be in ketosis. It is pretty solid that under 40 total carbs you will be in ketosis for all but a small group of people. Some people NEED more carbs in their diet to be healthy. They process them better than others. If you are losing, and not just a tiny amount if you are significantly overweight, then the restricted items are likely not a problem for you. Each of us is unique so a bit of "try it and see" comes into play with this plan. Quote:
I was hypothyroid when I started the diet. I was just being diagnosed and was not yet on meds. I found it interesting that by the time I was done with the diet, I was back to a very normal tsh and t3/t4 (free). In fact, today my tsh is at 1.12 when I was near a 4! I can only attribute that to the diet and to getting more iodine than I was. Quote:
I am guess the stall in weight was to do with the type of sodium in the sardines. Packaged foods can make us retain water. If it wasn't packed in sea salt, processed salt is a chemical and has a slightly different reaction in our body. Drink more water today and you will see a loss again soon. Quote:

I find it interesting that you are working with scientist studying the impact. Is there anything you are able to share? I know from my reading going to far alkaline or acid is harmful to the body and can open it up to a variety of issues or disease but, being acid is worse for disease and more apparent in the short run too. I have some pretty exciting news to share. My chiro office called me this morning to inform me that the next workshop is FEB 16th (weds) 2 days after my birthday, so I asked her to put me on the list. Here's my dealio. She told me that they can do the consultation that night after the workshop (yea!) which would work out really good, since I would like to start the plan on a Thursday or Friday (in case I feel ucky the first few days) I have the weekend, instead of being miserable at work. So with that said, if I started IP the following day after my workshop, I need to be ready with good veggies and proteins in the house. I have started a grocery shopping list for that first week on IP, so if anyone thinks of anything that I could add to the list, please feel free to tell me. The thought of WF is kind of freaking me out... lol. Did I read somewhere what kind of vinegar we can use? Best of luck to those who have WI's today and big pats on the back for those who are doing fantastic and not caving into your cravings. I will be one of you guys very soon!!![/QUOTE] I was told apple cider vinegar is best. I use Braggs unfiltered. I also use a natural rice vinegar with 0/0/0 for cal/fat/carb and an occasional red wine vinegar that is also 0/0/0. I must say the ACV is my go to item! I would add kale, cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, lots of lettuce, cucumber, mushroom, spinach, and zucchini. I found i could do many things with those. And you MUST try kale chips at least once!

NO, you never get to the point you don't care. Even long term low carb dieters still want them but, they want a new thing, they don't crave the old desserts and treats exactly but, they must still want them but they tend to make up replacement recipes similar to old recipes. To be successful you have to be willing to do as those people did, change your lifestyle, learn to make things LIKE what you liked before but, in a healthier fashion. I no longer care for brownies (story told, won't do that to ya'll again!). I don't care for pizza anymore either (:cry: it was my favorite comfort food). I still want them but, now, when I get the urge I almost simultaneously remember how I feel after eating it, that it tastes different to me, and I LOGICALLY know, that combination of food is not what my body can handle. It makes it very easy to pass up. I took 8 months of learning not to eat things. I also learned I LIVED well without them. I had nothing off the unrestricted foods lists, not even tomatoes for 6 months. So, I believe, if you are willing to look at this as a protocol for health and a program to change your lifestyle, believe it whole heartedly and follow it as if you do, YOU WILL find that you can make permanent change.

I did that, every day! I finally kept a journal of "what I want to eat again". It helped me to not cheat by writing it down and knowing "ONE DAY" I could.

They can only be used 3, maybe 4 days a week and not the same days as the jello. There are not enough aminos and it could effect your health and weight loss if done too often for too long.

I sealed the page last night and they got funny so I tossed them. Now i know keep the ziplock bag open a couple of days. Thanks again |
HELP!
I started on IP the first of September, lost 34 pounds before Christmas and felt great. Over the holidays I just went off track, and my only goal was to not gain any weight until the holidays were over. I managed to maintain within a pound or two, but I just can't get back on now. I follow it perfectly all day and then eat terribly when I get home from work. Ugh! My old bad habits. Although I haven't gained much weight, I feel crappy all day; bloated and fatigued. Plus, I don't think I can get control of myself. My so-called coach is NO help and never was. I taught myself everything by reading your blog and the literature from IP. I wish I could go under anesthesia for 3 days until I get back into ketosis or something. ANY words of wisdom?? I only have 10 pounds to my goal and I can't stop getting in my own way. I hate it!! HELP! |
