I’m surprised more people don’t mention having difficulty with carb cravings and then losing it by eating two double cheeseburgers and fries like I’ve been doing 

also the video mentions alcohol consumption and that is part of my diet - Overconsumption of straight booze and my weight is not shredding off yet

If you're trying to overcome carb cravings, I would stay away from the fries 😉

Yes, alcohol will slow or stall weight loss. The body actually metabolizes alcohol even before metabolizing carbohydrates.

A 5 guys burger just opened a block away from home. They do okay 

Now, they do double cheeseburgers without the bun, they are in a bowl with the lettuce and condiments. So it is possible to eat at 5 guys and keep it low carb

but it is a impulse food environment. When you smell the Cajun fries cooking it is rather tempting.

free ketchup to go was my downfall. I lost it like a chain reaction. Even though I got the burger with no buns I put tons of ketchup on my burger. Ketchup has sugar and who knows what else 

plus they have free peanuts so I overdid it with carbs. Not too bad but had the Cajun fries been added then we are taking a heavy carb meal and no turning back

once a Type 1 Diabetic scarfs down a big serving of fries and ketchup and potato burger buns, their blood sugar will be messed up for days

    • "Marching into March with Much Motivation"

      For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol. 

       

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. 

      The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

      Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.

      Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Being a supporter of our YouTube channel also gives you an entry.

      Let's keep our resolutions going strong!

    • Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!

      For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).

      An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner. 

      If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol.
