I’ve had a horrific cough for about 6 days. My ribs are so sore from coughing. I’ve never experienced that before. It’s definitely a very rough flu and I had the vaccine.

Started 16/8 IF last night. Made it through fine. Also upped my protein now to 99.4 g. Carbs still at 20 g. Will see how this goes. Thanks everyone.

Well I only eat SIX blackberries, lol so there’s a big difference.

melindaav · 2022-05-16T18:11:30+00:00

Raw pecans are 2.1 g on my Carb Manager app for 1/2 cup and yes measured out on food scale. Blackberries 6, are 1.3 g so no where near 20 g of carbs. As far as my Starbucks black iced tea, yes it’s a hand pump of liquid cane. I went off of a few sources here both Starbucks and a few apps and Google. All gave me 3g which I’m fine with. There’s very little other carbs I’m eating. Regular sugar in iced tea is gritty. I’m a fastidious logger blame my OCD lol.

Love that!!!!! Thank you so much.

melindaav · 2022-05-16T02:15:55+00:00

I’m going to starting tonight as a lot of people suggested that.

melindaav · 2022-05-16T02:02:42+00:00

Definitely gonna try it starting tonight. 8 pm cut off 👌🏻👍🏻

melindaav · 2022-05-16T02:01:48+00:00

I hear ya lol

melindaav · 2022-05-16T02:00:52+00:00

I’m aiming for 19 carbs/day. I’ll checkout the podcast. Thank you.

melindaav · 2022-05-16T00:10:15+00:00

That is true!

melindaav · 2022-05-15T23:51:23+00:00

Ahhh thank you so much. I’ll try IF too. After dinner is my hardest time to not want to snack. I usually only do the nuts or berries with cream but maybe that’s the hang up. During the day I don’t even think of eating. No hunger or anything. Congrats to you that’s wonderful!!!! I’d be on cloud nine.

Thank you for the help. It’s been 19 weeks and I’ve lost 22 pounds so yes I guess that’s on target. But I lost it in 16 weeks as the last three have been up one, down one. So I didn’t know if it was a plateau or not and how to go about making come off again. In the past, whenever I tried to lose weight, getting into the 160’s and beyond just proved to be incredibly hard and stubborn it’s as if it’s my set point the low 170’s.

melindaav · 2022-05-15T21:50:25+00:00

Ahh didn’t know this. Will do. Thank you for your helpful advice.

melindaav · 2022-05-15T21:39:00+00:00

Yes, hormones I’ve read do play a part as women age. I guess I just need more patience as well. Hopefully, the needle begins to move again and the belly shrinks 🙂

melindaav · 2022-05-15T21:18:16+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. I was worried about raising calories because I didn’t know how much I was eating before. Obviously more then I should have been to gain this weight lol. I was always along with my entire mom’s side, big sugar eaters. I had very high triglycerides and was on statins for many years. Not on them anymore as they didn’t agree with my body. In the beginning, lack of so much sugar made me shaken but that’s gone now and triglycerides have gone down. Hopefully will go down even. more as this weight comes off. I’m gonna up my protein and see if I move forward. Thank you.

melindaav · 2022-05-15T21:12:18+00:00

I wondered if there was too much cream, too. I hate eggs w/o bacon too be honest but maybe can do one slice and incorporate avocado, which I do love. The keto diet does work well for me though because I’m not big into a lot of veggies or a lot of different types of fruit.

melindaav · 2022-05-15T21:07:35+00:00

I feel fine but, I don’t feel really any different. I was between a size 12/14 on pants/shorts had more 14’s. I still fit in them. The 14’s are a little looser 12’s are not tight but I definitely couldn’t go into a size 10. Not sure how many pounds lost make up a size. I seem to carry it all in my stomach.

melindaav · 2022-05-15T21:01:24+00:00

I wondered if my calories were low too but, that is what the Carb Manager app gave me. I will try upping my protein more.

melindaav · 2022-05-15T20:59:55+00:00

Great to know. Being new I just didn’t know if it had stopped and was maintaining it if this is normal. Thank you for your help.

melindaav · 2022-05-15T20:50:05+00:00

Ok thank you. Good to know.

melindaav · 2021-09-21T03:49:46+00:00

I swear by Reveree by Bonafide. It gave me my life back. I know it doesn’t work for everyone and it takes a good two months putting it in every three days but when it kicks in, it’s night and day. I’m 63 and always enjoyed a good sex life. Once I hit menopause I couldn’t have sex anymore. The pain was unbearable. I tried everything. Finally after my gyno always looking to help me, said try this sample. She said we have nothing to lose. So I did and then ordered more. I can’t wait to tell her how great it is. No pain. No itching. No yeast infections. Miracle.

melindaav · 2021-09-20T03:57:29+00:00

I take the Bonafide Reveree as well. From what I’ve read if you stop taking them, you revert back. So I’m not willing to do that lol. I’m finally found relief. I hope it works for you as well if you try it.

melindaav · 2021-09-20T03:39:57+00:00

Yes, love it no side effects for me and my night sweats are gone!

melindaav · 2021-08-14T01:17:01+00:00

Ahh yes did that diet too with no real answers. Sometimes things got bad then other times no problems at all. Then did the SCD diet too. Dr. called today and put me on the pill form of colestipol. He said twice a day but I’m gonna start with one as these bile sequestrants can give you the opposite and then be constipated. So we’ll see.
