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.

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…

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…
