Starting Date for the "Recipe"
Note, there are about 15ish people interested in the program. I'm not going to give the recipe until most of them get onboard this discussion group or one week (whichever comes first). I think thats fair. I set the group to public, so that the link I sent them will work. (I forgot that if your group is set to "private" no…
Fasting Notes ~ Good Things
I saw a list of fasting "one liners" on Dr. Jason Fung's Website. It was really cool. But, I can't find it now, so I'll try to do it by memory. I like to contrast it to exercising. I'm not saying exercising is bad, its just that fasting can be an "alternative" to lose weight easier than doing long workouts at the gym.…
The Difference Between Water Fasting and Intermittent Fasting
OK, lets gets some definitions out in the open. Water fasting is: Drinking water or non-caloric tea (lemon is ok), Plain coffee is ok (but no oil or butter, cream, etc) Vinegar is OK. NOT drinking artificially sweetened beverages ~ this is critical! Limit any non-caloric sweetener to one small packet a day! No "nibbling",…

Low blood sugar - what's too low?
I had annual biometric screening at work today and was shocked by my blood sugar level. I knew it would be low and wanted it to be, but I was thinking in the low 3's would be awesome. I came in at 2.1. Shocking to me as I had previously been gestational diabetic and even after I had my daughter I played with the strips and…
Water Fasting and Keto Recipe
If you are viewing this, it because you were interested in my water fasting program. As I said, I will give you some principles and you will have to decide whether you want to try this as an experiment to break your stall and/or "unintentional maintenance", or achieve faster weight loss. I outline this as a "recipe". As I…
Just starting up again
Is anyone still active in this group? I was participating last year and seriously fell off the wagon. 60 lbs later, I am back. My only carbs are from a rice protein shake most mornings, less than 5g per serving. My fasting day is either Wednesday or Thursday. I just started back again this week and I had forgotten how…
New here please help
I am very experienced with IF but would love your recipe and would love to learn your way of fasting. If this group is still active could you teach me? Please and thank you
Fermented Food Research
I've spent a lot of time researching fermented foods, probiotics, prebiotics, gut flora, leaky gut, inflammation and its impact on diabetes, weight and health. It is a whole new world out there! The weirdest part of the whole thing about correcting your gut flora is that there are tons of people and research out there,…
Probiotic Evaluation - Restora Rx
I developed a heat rash irritation/allergic response to tape resulting in a 5" square or so of irritated yeast rash this week. After visiting the doctor, she added Restora Rx as a sample to try for me. This is a probiotic with folic acid and lactobacillus casei (KE-99), 200 Billion CFU/g, and it looks like getting this…
Carb count - should I include Fiber?
I have been reading a bit and following the Keto diet for a week now. I have tried to keep my carbs under 50 grams, and have not had a problem thus far. However I had read the other day that some subtract their fiber gram intake against their Carb gram intake, and am wondering if i should consider the same practice? Thanks
How to Make Yogurt
I'm not an expert on this, but I did try it and it was the best yogurt I have ever eaten and so easy to do. Any deviation from my recipe below could cause different results. When I purchased the two items, it was after a lot of reading of dozens of reviews. Save yourself some time and purchase what I bought. Here is the…
