How do you stay under 20g of carbs? They're in just about everything.

How do you stay under 20g of carbs? They're in just about everything.

It's all about reading labels and doing your homework. We go by net carbs so subtracting fiber. I use a zero carb protein powder called ISOPURE, we eat meats and cheeses, spinach and leafy greens, nuts in moderation, bacon, eggs, etc. I joined Facebook groups to get recipe ideas and it's not as hard as it sounds.

Honestly it's easier for me now because it eliminates most all processed food and any sugar cravings. In 4 weeks I've personally lost about 15 lbs paired with walking average of 3 miles /5 times a week.

I'm almost back to my lowest from last year from the fitness competition and have lost about 2 pant sizes. My energy has skyrocketed and I never feel heavy after eating. It takes awhile to get used to but I don't miss anything.

I still allow myself to enjoy myself but I don't do full on cheat days. This isn't a diet, this is about my life.

I was jamming out to "California Love" on the radio. Then the line came. "...now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me". California Love was 20 years ago. GOD DAMN IT.

We're all fucking old. There's a damn xm radio station centered around 2000 music. I could cry.

Here is one of my daily logs of food.

Breakfast I had an organic string cheese

Lunch: Fuddruckers grilled Firehouse chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon, no bun.

Dinner: 1.5 Cups of Organic baby spinach, 5oz of guy fieri bacon wrapped pork loin, 1oz of prosciutto & 2 table spoons of balsimic and oil dressing with the spinach.

Snacks I had a quest bar and a premier nutrition shake. Gross carbs as 39, but I had about 20g of Fiber, which brought my net down to 19. Total calories was 1,231, 60g fat 130g of protein. This was a workout day, so my carb was a little higher than normal and my protein was significantly higher, but you get the jist of it.

That's why I don't freak out about the calories in the baconator. I'll have days where breakfast is string cheese and nuts, lunch will be a double bacon cheeseburger, and typically if i'm not hungry by 8pm, i'll either just fast or have a protein shake before bed and that's it.

I've been at the hospital with my girlfriend who is recovering from surgery. I keep the tv volume muted so it doesn't wake her, and I keep entertained by browsing reddit, however this is now night 2 and I've been browsing reddit so long that all the links in the subreddits I frequent are blue and I have nothing to do now. FML.

If you're bored and can't have sound...

netflix + headphones? buy a book?

[Salodin]

If you're bored and can't have sound...

Hmm I'll have to check this out.

netflix + headphones? buy a book?

I've binged so much on Netflix over the last two months. There's nothing that really stands out to me atm that I really want to watch. As far as books go, I left the Steve jobs biography at home cause I'm a failure =(.

[Aksannyi]

Would it be like, super awful if you left for like an hour or so to get your book from home and whatever else you think could entertain you? You said she's asleep so would she even know? I mean I don't know your girl and I don't know if she'd feel abandoned if you went home for a bit but I can't imagine any reasonable person getting upset at that. I mean I figure at some point you're gonna wanna shower and change clothes anyway if you're staying there, right?

[Salodin]

Already did the shower thing, but I forgot to bring the book because I was more focused on what drive thrus were open at the late hour lol. I literally live across the street from the hospital, but I'd never leave her alone here even though I know she'd tell me it's ok (her parents went home for the night). Must be a guy thing =/.

[BaneTheBrawler]

I can't really blame you. i have seldom felt so lonely as i did when i was in the hospital after my surgery. my parents went home and i just kinda looked around the room like "well shit now what"

That being said, leave a note and go get a book or something. Knowing you're coming back is enough.

[Buffy]

Fuck that Salodin, don't leave. That's what happens in every romantic comedy. The current boyfriend leaves and the previous boyfriend rushes in and is there when she wakes up. Don't leave till she walks out on her own I say!

[Salodin]

Dude, you don't even know. Our story is long and kinda fucked up on our part, but if her ex comes running in he'll be leaving behind his fiance and going back to the girl who ran behind his back for three months; our little history is all sorts of romcom "goodness".

[theshun]

Put your phones on Face Time and prop her phone up to stare at her face and keep your phone on your face. If she wakes up, she'll still see you.

[Astylla]

Salodin I hope she has a quick recovery and I can really appreciate you being there for her.

My fucking fail is that I was up all night sick and welcoming death over how I felt. I don't know if something I ate made me sick but fuck it was horrible.
I contemplated just taking a pillow to the bathroom so I wouldn't risk getting sick in bed. My husband gets squicked out by most stuff so while I was sick and nauseous to my stomach had to clean up everything too.. Ugh.

However this seriously made me realize how much of a baby I am when I'm sick and how I'm so fucking glad I don't have kids to deal with. I don't know how my parents did it or any of my friends do.

[Ksandra]

Got a quarter, dime, and penny out of the ps3. Also had to take the disc out. The drive itself is shot and won't take discs anymore. At least we can still use it for Netflix.
