Even though it may be good things, it may be too many calories. Unfortunately in a losing stage about 1200 calories a day is required. I know there are a lot of new and different ideas out there, but there are 100's of years of science behind calories counting. I think some things get a bad rap because we don't eat them in moderation and the calories really add up. <br />Just try it for a week and see how it goes. Maybe look at a WW chart, each point used to be about 60 calories, or an average of about 1200 a day.<br />Just a suggestion from a friend:) Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876597084432433257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878486617780300265.post-87086739675416481682013-01-31T16:30:22.514-05:002013-01-31T16:30:22.514-05:00I know, it's hard and confusing.

I haven't been tracking them, but maybe I should be. It's very frustrating and confusing. I don't have the Wheat Belly book but have been catching up on his blog. That foccacia bread got good reviews by everyone. Is your almond flour blanched or meal?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900189705707651375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878486617780300265.post-70174249468736084242013-01-30T22:10:13.748-05:002013-01-30T22:10:13.748-05:00HI Beth!.

I made the banana blueberry muffins and ate 4 ( not all at once, but in one day!!) I thought they were alittle grainy. I had bought a different kind of almond flour on netrition. It got good reviews and was cheaper that the Bobs Red Mill. I also made the herb foccacia. Eating 1/4 of the recipe is well over 440 calories. I just don't see how I'm going to lose weight eating this any calories, even though "calories don't count" according to eveyone. I'm so confused sometimes!!!Pattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233014292620441914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878486617780300265.post-11855975881445564352013-01-29T12:32:14.459-05:002013-01-29T12:32:14.459-05:00As a newbie, I am amazed the carbs in veggies.

Today I was messed up by about 1/2 cup of walnuts I had as a snack! According to MFP they came out to be 16 net carbs! They were not worth it!

You're fast getting that appt. made, I'm still procrastinating. I've thought of seeing a Naturopath but think I might see a D.O.(Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) instead. I'll be interested to see what you think after your consultation.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900189705707651375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878486617780300265.post-56041228619812940232013-01-25T16:30:01.081-05:002013-01-25T16:30:01.081-05:00Dana, thanks.

I'm so used to discussing carbs with her :)<br /><br />Hi Beth, I think tracking my carbs is a must. They SO easily get too high if you're not really watching. I know for me that 120 gr/day is too high (BFC original). When I keep them much lower (<40) I do better. The lower I can get them the better but it is hard. Choices are more limited. I was shocked the other day at how many carbs are in green beans. Lucky I looked first so instead of 1 cup I had 1/2 cup. In Fat Chance, Dr. Lustig explains whey even small indiscretions on a low carb diet show up as a noticeable gain. On low carb we are glycogen low (glycogen brings with it water). Even a little too much carb will up glycogen stores and bring with it water weight. He calls it the "double edged sword" of low carb. He has a chapter coming on exercise so I'm interested to read it. My parents live in the country and have "somehow" acquired a gaggle of stray cats to care for. Problem is they keep having babies and the numbers are growing. I don't know how they will stop the vicious cycle. I contacted a Naturopath and plan to have a 15 minute free consultation with her re: the hormones.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175845313649815295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878486617780300265.post-35043413688579948722013-01-25T11:23:54.934-05:002013-01-25T11:23:54.934-05:00Beth - That's a beautiful picture of the lands...Beth - That's a beautiful picture of the landscape.<br /><br />Love that you adopted the cat (we are cat people).
