This is just our latest journey together on the downward phase...with all the "life we have lived"...Yes, we tease each other, with big smiles on our faces! It is out and out love!

Nicely done Nawchem!!!!!


thanks scotia - I hope it stays down...
Did you and smullen meet on this board? Do you live close to one another? Or could you meet in the middle?

Didn't want you to feel "all alone" with that bounce Susan, so I joined you; +0.4 myself, and you guessed it all, BACON wrapped scallops!

Keep it coming off Nawchem! You are our leader. We live vicariously through you.

I thought I would post this here as well. For a while now I've been LC 2-3 days and then binges. I don't have a real kitchen so I got in the habit of eating canned chicken, and blueberries or grapes. One can of chicken was a meal and its only 40 cal. I was eating 120 calories and 4g of fat a day - I'm guessing that's why I'm so out of control hungry.

I have to get more fat in my diet, I'll start drinking bpc for starters umm did you say you're putting BUTTER in your coffee.

How do I know how many calories or fat to eat?

Nawchem I know too well the starve and then binge, here is the link to a free book that helped me, you don't have to buy anything to download it and there is lots of info. https://neverbingeagain.com/
As far as upping the fat, Susan I are eating keto, it is high fat, moderate protein and low carb veggies. It take time to transition form burning carbs for "fuel" to burning "fat for fuel". It is worth looking into if you are interested. On youtube there are lots of videos, each plan can be a bit different. I like Dr Eric B.'s vidoes, he advocates more veggies than many plans, moving toward two meals a day and thinks BPC is a "fasting breaker" although it works really well for Susan and I.
The coffee, there are choices to what you add to it for your fat. I use coconut oil 1 tbs and 1 tbs of coffee cream or whipping cream. Susan's recipe is different than mine. My advice is to start with a tsp of oil and work up to a tbs, my other advice is to use a blender or a good hand mixer to froth it up and incorporate it into the coffee, otherwise it is like oil and water, only oil and coffee.LOL
My meals consist of 3-4 ounces of protein a good portion of lc veggies and 2 tbs of fat added ( butter, olive oil, mayo) I do used a thin cheese slice or a tbs of cream cheese as additions too.
Hope this helps, my journal tells how I am figuring it out if you would like to look at it. Lots of what I am trying and what I like.

Down a smidge....no whoosh yet.
Keto seems like a solid plan that works for many folks with or without the BPC! As I said, I have never tried BPC but that's just my preference because of not having a gall bladder. I actually drink black coffee, lots of black coffee! And I love bacon!

Thanks scotia and Momma Bear. Its really hard I mean I eat meat out of cans because I have to. I don't have a kitchen, pots, pans, a knife. Its crazy in this town places are so expensive and there's a housing shortage so the common thing is to sublet with no kitchen privileges.

Hopefully the addition of fat will help and I can do that.
