BLASSSSPHEMERRR!!!How about if I use it to track my silly restriction of carbs? Is that ok with you?I just started using MFP a week ago to track everything, and allotted 2100 calories per day...I haven't gone over at all and I'm usually more than 10% under.
MFP has worked best for me long term for sure. No silly restrictions on carbs or fat or blue foods or green foods or white foods..... just don't eat like a ####### and you're good to go.
Get some low carb tortillas/wraps at the grocery store and make burritos at home. Make turkey club wraps to take to work for lunch.

Whatever works, sir.How about if I use it to track my silly restriction of carbs? Is that ok with you?I just started using MFP a week ago to track everything, and allotted 2100 calories per day...I haven't gone over at all and I'm usually more than 10% under.

Wouldn't waste your carbs on tortillas even if low carb...lettuce wraps are the hawk move and taste greatGet some low carb tortillas/wraps at the grocery store and make burritos at home. Make turkey club wraps to take to work for lunch.
There are a few others on android in addition to this one. They all just seem to be informational. Not bad though. Just learned that those soy chips are a great snack during the induction phase, may get some. (Also learned I ideally shouldn't be having regular coffee. Of well, I ain't giving that up)
Where'd you get that from? The Atkins FAQ just says to use cream or half and half instead of milk and not to use sugar. It says caffeine is fine.
It was in the app I downloaded, on the induction phase, said to avoid caffeine. It also said the daily limit is 40g, not 20. (I'll stick with 20 for now)
I've never had pork rinds. Are they good?
The health benefits of losing weight probably trump the health benefits of eating healthier food especially when the healthier choice is pork rinds. I wouldn't. For me the rinds were helpful in extreme low carb/ketogenic phases, but they were certainly an acquired taste. I dipped them in homemade guacamole. That was pretty good.Otis said:

Weight is a particularly poor measure of diet success in the early phases. You might actually find that your % of body fat has risen while losing the initial water weight while your body adjusts to the diet. It is unfortunate that there are very few, if any, accurate body fat % scales on the market. Most have a margin of error of 5% or more which is damn near useless.

My scale measures body fat %, albeit inaccurate, it has been fairly stable for the week (27-29%

Yep. That first 5-10lbs is awesome, but mostly a drop in water weight with atkins-type programs. Nothing wrong with it...great motivational bump. But that weight comes back as quick as it left. That said... damn nice start, Kee. Stoked for ya!Keep in mind your body has probably flushed nearly a gallon of water.FWIW... I'm down 9 lbs after 7 days
Awesome Kee, congrats. Stay on the wagon...Atkins plus the 7 minute workout.Just doing the Atkins or are you working out some too? Good job either way.FWIW... I'm down 9 lbs after 7 days
I'm weird about the daily weigh ins. I'm obsessive about them. For some reason it really keeps me in line.For best results stand on a damp towel prior to getting on a BF% scale.

It's best to test it everyday to get a trend which is why I wouldn't do it. Daily weigh ins can be demotivational.

MFP is the greatest thing for weight loss I have ever found. I have only used it for a few weeks, but after watching my numbers daily I have drastically changed what crap I put into my body.I'm a zealous MFP user...just read about this... you using an app?Atkins plus the 7 minute workout.Just doing the Atkins or are you working out some too?

Works for weight loss but not good for atheletic performance.
it sucks I'm telling ya
I could do that. Today is my 52nd birthday. Everyone who knows me well enough to buy me a gift has done something pizza related. This was planned. I got frozen dough from NYC. I got a gift certificate for one of my favorite places in LA. I got a book on the history of pizza. I got a 1" thick and 18x18" square industrial pizza stone (my old one broke over the holidays). I got sourdough starter from Naples. I got a case of organic italian deli chubs.
That's a terrific book. I was really enjoying it until, about two-thirds of the way through, it ended. (The last third is all end notes, which I didn't read.) Seriously, though, there's lots of really interesting stuff in that book. The first two-thirds, anyway.
Put it on the Kindle, thanks. Guyenet's post from yesterday is on topic. It's tough with a teen, but I'm pretty close, and at least the snacks are from Trader's and snobbish.
Sadly, according to the BMI chart, I'm either obese or way too short.
