New arrival on this board.
Knew I was getting bigger with the diet I was on through working away, hotel meals, Macdonalds, takeaways, a few pints a night etc etc, but it still a massive shock weighing myself in the middle of January - 17st 13lb.
As I'm 6ft 3, I sort of carried it pretty well, but I was even struggling to tie my shoe laces. Started eating healthier, deciding to try a low carb diet, and bought one of these to cook food in the hotel room.

Really transformed the food I ate. As long as I was near a supermarket or shop, the food tasted fantastic. So up to now, I've lost 25lb, down to a sort of respectable 16st 2lb.
I'm aiming to try and lose another stone, but would be happy with half a stone. I'm still doing the low carb diet, running every other day (back problems) but really pleased how I've done.
Done well to lose while all this is going on. Well done.since April 4th I have lost 3.7 lbs
woof
Done well to lose while all this is going on. Well done.
managed to work running into my routine which by the time the lockdown is over will have my daily cycling commute added in
going full keto and intermittent fasting which is actually easier right now than usually
Thanks
I’ve managed to hover between 12.7 - 12.10 stone since I’ve been working from home. Seem to have settled a bit with all the shit going on. Put a couple of pound on, then pull it back for a bit.
stilldrinking more than I have for months. Still something has to give. Birthday on Saturday too.
you have my respect with full keto. It’s tough. I’ve lost 4 stone with low ( < 50g) carb since January. It really worked for me.
not to put too fine a point on it, it played f***ing havoc with my insides till I discovered Psyllium Husk

That's some weight loss, well done!
That was the only thing I was sort of worried about when I started as I'd heard some horror stories, but I've had no problem. I downloaded an app called "Carb Manager" onto my phone which has been great at letting me know whats good and bad. You can set your carb target and even scan products and it'll tell you what Category it is (A being the best) and how many carbs/how much protein is in it.
If I just eat meat and leafy veg and occasional carrots and peas that should be fine though right? are there some surprising carby things I should be aware of?
Carrots are canny high on the carb scale. They affect me canny badly. I went low carb as a method to control blood glucose and a means to lose weight. I’ve managed to put t2 diabetes into remission with a combo of low carb and weight loss.If I just eat meat and leafy veg and occasional carrots and peas that should be fine though right? are there some surprising carby things I should be aware of?
The horror is real. You must put some soluble and non digestible fibre in your diet if you go keto or low carb. Or you will break your insides.That's some weight loss, well done!

the rule of thumb I use is I tend not to eat pasta, rice, bread or veg that grow underground.
the amount of cauliflower I eat is insane. I make it into mash, use it shredded up like rice etc. Sounds grim, but it’s ok.

I made a killer romanesco mash the other day
I would use carrots in stock, and a bolognese (controversial I know) but not much else. I have some swede and parsnip cubes frozen for slow cooker scrag end and ox tail stew so not huge amounts. Reckon I'd be keeping below the radar
@Ambivalent Squirrel how much more weight do you want to lose? Do you think you need to completely break from Keto and then go back on it?
