low carb diet

Ever since I started this low carb diet I have been having trouble going to the bathroom, number 2. What is the cause of this? What can I do to make this better on a daily basis. I take fiber but it doesn't seem to be helping. I eat lettuce too, salads with it once a day. As of right now I go a...

I am on a low carb diet for my insulin resistance, under 60 carbs a day. I lost 7 pounds as of three weeks ago but since last week my weight has not moved at all. It stays between 226 and 225.8 pounds. How do you overcome a plateau? I eat chicken and salad for two meals of my day and I eat dark...

I have insulin resistance. I am not on any medication. Below I have posted my diet/what I eat in a day. In the past 3 weeks I have lost 7 pounds doing this. However in the past week I didn't lose anything. Is there anything you would change or add for more weight loss results. I fast until 2 pm...

I've lost seven pounds on a low carb diet in the past 3 weeks. I have insulin resistance and I am not on any medications. I eat under 60 carbs a day. Just recently my weight was at 225 and now it is at 226. I have flirted with a little more carbs recently maybe at 70. How many carbs should...

I have insulin resistance, pretty high almost tipping the scale. I recently made life changes in past three weeks and went on a low carb diet. I went from 232 pounds to 225 pounds within that time frame. However this week I haven't dropped weight at all. I gained a pound. I have been having...

I have realised that I am just so lucky to have always had to consider what I ate, and I have a BSc - which was a bit unexpected and arrived out of the blue. I could - possibly, eat the small amount of carbs my situation allows on the Flour and Fructose diet, just counting carbs - but I feel...

Just finished reading "The Food Revolution" by Dr Andreas Eenfeldt MD, aka Diet Doctor. It was really good. I grew up in the 70s and believed from an early age that fat is BAD, Cholesterol is BAD, low fat very good and high cholesterol something to avoid. Now I know there's NO scientific reason...

Had a rough day at work today and at lunch i took myself out for a walk. Started feeling light headed...probably should have eaten before i went out. I gave in to temptation in Subway..... Not good...bad Sam. Normally i would beat myself up pretty badly which would set off my need to confort...

Hi all I have recently decided to take the plunge and modify my diet rather than rely on the medication that was prescribed as it was making me ill and depressed. I'm following a low to no carb diet and after my first week I've had a 4lb loss which is great. But I have not seen a drop in my...

I am struggling to make informed choices when eating out. Today I had lunch at The Coffee Club and ordered a low calorie dish of corn and zucchini fritters with bacon as it was one of the few dishes that wasn't in a sandwich, wrap or roll! However when I went to enter the food into my fitness...

I have been a type 1 diabetic for the past five years, during which time, and for years prior, I have suffered from on and off male yeast infection. I have spent countless hours researching Candida albicans. I have been to doctors, who prescribed broad-spectrum anti-fungal creams. The creams...
