You go, Sarah. It's for a great cause.

Yeah, the cause is losing some of my fat! Actually if we need a cause, we could donate $ per pound lost this week to getting FTS books into schools.
For us, its about losing weight. For him, its about getting his life back. Either way, he would do just fine with FTS recommendations for diet for the rest of his life, as would about half of the U.S. population.

My doctor said that the medical and research based data that the author of the book he recommended for me to read is totally supported by what he learned in medical school. He went back to his resources and looked it up because he wasn't in agreement at first. He is really supportive of the low carb lifestyle now. It is such a turn around, it is amazing!
Oh, and I lost 1.4 pounds yesterday. I am now below my lowest point so far. I find that my weight is often like a small bungee cord. It teases me by dropping to a certain point and then it bounces up a couple pounds and then continues to bounce up and down within that range for a while. Today, I have finally dropped below the bottom of latest range!

My eats for Saturday, 5/5:
Coffee w/cream
tuna salad and celery
1 chicken sausage - 1 carb
sweet & spicy chicken thigh - sooooo tasty!
cabbage slaw - 1 carb
Almond milk - 1 carb
Crystal lite
3 carbs for the day
my portions have been too big, and I have been eating too many nuts. On the bright side....at least I know how to maintain! ha ha
My issue is getting enough fiber at a very low number.
You are a great ringleader owensmath :) :)
Am I the only one still doing this?
From last Wednesday to today, I am down 4 pounds!
This week, I have lost 2.6 pounds and I am thrilled because I am now at my lowest point so far in about 20 years.
When you eat cheese or prepared meats such as summer sausage or anything you can buy prepackaged (Ekrich roast beef or ham or whatever) do you count the carbs in those? I've noticed there is always either "less than one" or "one or two" for the carb counts. Of course, I NEVER eat anything honey glazed. I've just noticed that even cheese has some carbs.
So if you eat meat and veggies, are you just counting the veggies?
The josephs pitas are a 4 donna not 5 you lost another carb:-*
I understand, it really is amazing how little food we really need daily, super size this, super size that...no wonder our country is in trouble!
Donna, how are the books being received in the classroom?
Awww...thanks Owensmath and KFaith! This is actually a fun challenge for me! Seeing how low I can go with carbs, but not getting hungry!
Waterlillly's got it. By George, she's got it.
(I had a huge crush on Rex Harrison in my teens.)
So what are you gals doing about fiber intake? I think Donna mentioned a supplement at one time. I'm too lazy to go hunt for the post so I'm just asking. Very low carb seems to translate to very low fiber. Does it make me sound really old to be talking about fiber?
