Endurance cycling, what food to take
Hello all, I was on keto for eighteen months and lost a considerable amount of fat. I found it quite easy. That was until I got back into cycling after a good few years layoff. As my miles increased the harder it was to stay on keto. I never found a good food source to take with me. I stopped and went back to eating carbs.…

Quick/Easy Meals for LCHF
I was hoping to start a thread that people can look at for the 'I'm hungry and don't feel like cooking much' kind of meal. A lot of LC recipes look really good, but I don't want to spend more than 15 mins cooking when I'm in that frame of mind. So this is what I found this week and it works for me. Sort-of Taco Brown up…

Slip Day and Ketostix
Yesterday I had a horrible day at work and I stopped at a place and bought a slice of cheesecake. I woke up sick this morning and I’m staying home from work actually.

Anyone doing clean keto?
What I mean by that is you don’t drink diet shakes and diet bars and even low carb breads and bagels. You eat stuff like a salad every day, with chicken on it or a nice big steak. You can have a spoonful of peanut butter that just has peanuts and salt in it. You can have a whole bunch of spinach or cheese or butter, but…

GET DAT REAR IN GEAR July 2023 Challenge
It's not summer for some of us. It's winter in the southern part of the globe. Or you can take the position of the sunny side and remember we're smack dab in the throes of the oh-so-lovely 2023, still freakin' dealing with one kind of crazy nonsense or another... Whatever the season (or catastrophe. There's always…
