Anne in CA Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 That is just super! I lost a lot of weight many years ago and keeping it off has been a struggle, but sooo worth it! The flexible lifestyle of a home school mom lends itself to diet maintenance, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Geek Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've been doing low carb and over the last 2 weeks after stalling for a month I have only been eating meat, cheese, eggs, oil, vinegar, lettuce, green beans, and spinach. I dropped 10 lbs in 2 weeks and am doing it 1 more week with dh. I will move to a more flexible ketogenic diet after that, and try to leave the bread, and stuff alone that made me quit loosing. I am going with my dd, mom, and brother to the NC mountains this fall and I really want to do some easy day hiking with them and it will be so much easier with less weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*lifeoftheparty* Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 About how many carbs are you taking in a day to be low carb? I lost 10 pounds doing the 21 day sugar derox back in January... I've kept that off, but not lost any more.... Anywho- I'm trying my darndest to stay at 50g of carbs and below starting yesterday... Just wondering what your level was :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering what your level was :) To loose the 10 lbs in 2 weeks it was closer to 10-15 carbs a day. My dh didn't loose that much and the only thing we can figure is that he wasn't eating enough fat. It took about 4 days before the weight started dropping. 40-50 grams a day is about what should keep you in Ketosis after you are good and into it.

I guess I'll try to shoot lower :) Congrats on being able to keep it up that long.... I've only been able to make it about a month before falling off the wagon.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
