Carbs

[Kenacotto]

Hi. I wasn’t sure if dairy, gluten, or carbs is keeping me from weight loss. The recipes look great with portion control and healthy. I liked keto but because of the extremely high fat…including saturated…my triglycerides shot sky high. Should I avoid it although I liked the food. Had unlimited energy, and lost 15lbs? Then my weight stalled.

Hi, Kenacotto. Congratulations on your weight loss!
Ultimately the goal is good health, so according to what you described, it may be better if you avoid keto for now. Since triglycerides also respond to refined carbohydrates, it’s good that you chose our regular low-carbohydrate route here. As your weight continues to go down, there may be changes in your metabolism. In the future, you may be able to return, but perhaps with a version lower in saturated fat.
With regard to your weigh stalling, exercise is generally the best way to give your metabolism a boost. If you are new to exercise, let me know, and I would be happy to provide some guidance. Note that it doesn’t have to be anything strenuous or time-consuming. If you have been active, your body may need a change in the workout routine to wake up your metabolism – if this is the case, what have you been doing for physical activity?

I am going to get back to gym Monday. I used to have an active job that helped me lose inches but no weight. Alot of walking and lifting. I only see my body tone up with light ccx weight lifting

I put in my calories in myfitnesspal and the amt of carbs is 215g which is extremley high. I don’t know if I can lose weight eating that many carbs? Also myfitnesspal says to eat 1600 calories while this diet is 1790 a day. Please help!!! i don’t wanna go grocery shopping on the 5th if I can’t do this diet cuz it is a lot of food to buy.

I cut down a cup of rice to a half, and cut down on some other carbs and I was under my calorie intake and not so high in carbs. Can I do this????

Hi, Kenacotto. It’s great that you will be increasing your physical activity!
As for the carbohydrates, you can swap them for proteins, ounce for ounce.

[Kenacotto]

But it doesn’t give you meat options? Thx

[Ossie-Sharon]

Hi, Kenacotto. The swap function of the pre-made menus do not give you the option to swap between food groups, but you can build a menu from scratch with those substitutions by clicking on the edit icon in each meal header, and selecting the foods you want. You will see your meal pattern there, and you an just select protein foods for the carbohydrate exchanges – ignore any red signs.
