ACTIVE LOW CARB SUPPORT GROUP
Trying to find an active forum for low carb support.
Things I have learned during 4 years of Keto
In no particular order ... 1. Read labels - the per 100g bit not the per serve bit. A lot of products will scream 0 carb - but it's only 0 carb per serve. 2. A serve of nuts is not many. 3. Keto is great for health (diabetes, inflammation, epilepsy, long term food control issues, migraines to name a few) but it is NOT…
Active April Challenge 2024
It's Active April, folks. The word "active" is a loaded word. Not only can it apply to exercise, but it can also mean "characterized by action rather than by contemplation or speculation." Time to get fit or act on your goals, whatever they may be. Increase your NEAT, do one of the bazillion YouTube vids and workout…
New here. Anyone else on a low carb, high protein low fat lifestyle?
I did keto for 4 years. Then added intermittent fasting. Got to my goal. Over the past 6 months have put on 30# from stress and eating wrong. Now I'm on high protein. Low carb low fat - not keto. I find it much more in line with my lifestyle than keto. High fat doesn't agree with my IBS. Wondering if other here are doing…
March Mindfulness Challenge 2024
Life is...well....it's LIFE, isn't it? It can be good. It can also be busy, frantic, and sometimes, downright chaotic. We are pulled so many directions but so many situations and distractions. When do we have time to breathe, let alone live in the moment? So this month, I think it would be excellent to challenge ourselves…

Diabetes and Low Carb Bread
Looking for info on how diabetics' numbers react to commercially-sold low carb breads. Are there any that don't cause a spike in glucose or is this mostly an "eat to your meter" thing and specific to an individual? Any input/experience appreciated.
Vegan Keto
Hi, i did Keto, successfully, several years ago when i was a meat eater. I no longer eat meat or their by-products so I've been investigating Vegan Keto, which basically means getting protein from plant sources. Just a lot of research. Very little support. On my own. Was wondering if anyone else was on a similar journey.…
Homemade Pork Rinds
I am trying my hand at making homemade pork rinds. I picked up some pig skin at an Asian Market labeled rather dubiously as "Meat". It was actually pig skin, so step one was achieved. It had a lot more fat and meat on it than I expected, so step two was removing as much as I could. My technique improved greatly as I worked…
