Depending on tastes, another dinner salad possibility is a Cobb salad. Quoting from Get.smarter.com: "A Cobb salad includes hard-cooked eggs and other toppings on a base of salad greens, such as watercress and Romaine lettuce. Common toppings include avocado, tomato and chicken. Many Cobb salads also include onion, bacon…

Just curious, why do you think heavy whipping cream doesn't belong? A tablespoon has 5 grams of fat and zero grams of carbs. Except for the water, a tblsp of butter and 2 tblps of hwc have the same nutrient profile.

Great

Super.

I suppose I fall somewhere between newbie & old timer. I think I joined around the first of the year & I'm pretty sure I lurked for a week or so before joining. I've been a lot less active posting this fall, life has been happening in a big way. I still scan through the new threads each day but often have not have time to…

I'm down about 75 pounds since summer of 2014, which means I lost about 35% of my peak body mass. For the past 5-6 months I've had very little change in what I eat or what I weigh. I didn't make any attempt to switch or maintain just kept doing what I was doing. I weigh now what I did when I was 18 and I'm OK with that and…

The dressing could be 4-5 grams of sugar per tablespoon. You probably use 2-3 tablespoons. Lowfat cheeses usually have something added to replace the fat. If the meat is honey-cured ham you pick up a few more grams. You could see a 50 gram difference between 2 very similar looking salads.

It's a survey not a clinical trial so It suggests a relationship. It doesn't establish a cause & effect and it can't distinguish whether THC or something else is the effective agent. Still it is interesting.

When my #1 son was a teen (now 37) he developed his one handed egg opening skill while working at McDs, so in shell eggs have been in use for a long time. I don't know about the fat used. I thought their grill temp was too high for butter but I don't have anything to back that up. For my home use I like to use a 50/50 mix…

I have found that most McDs will provide their steak, egg & cheese sandwich with no bread. Sometimes I get a price break sometimes not.

Most Eggs-celent.

I weigh the same today as I did in1965 after decades of being much heavier. I average 15 flights of steps per day often carrying a grandchild with no knee pain. Last year I struggled with the 4 steps from the sidewalk to my front door. And you ...

I've been on 3 road trips since spring and I've found fast food places to be very inconsistent on special oeders but that's nothing new. I'll add two more possibilities. McD's Steak, egg & cheese sandwich w/o the bun. Panera's Chicken Cobb Salad with Avocado.

Sorry to be so late weighing in, my life has been very chaotic of late. I'm typing this with a 10 month old on my lap helping. Mark's Daily Apple did a good review of nuts & seeds. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-definitive-guide-to-nuts/#axzz3oqPQqaDo…

About 5 years ago I had an acute gout flair, the worst pain I've ever had in my life. At the time I found a lot of support and advice in the forums at this site: http://www.goutpal.com/ Like diabetes gout is a very individual disease and different people have different triggers. I have corresponded with people to whom…

Exactly. At the end of the day, just ignore the "Complete" button and go to bed. The next morning a new form is there to log or not. The world doesn't end. Black helicopters don't take you away. If you are honest, your history is there for you to learn from. If you lie in order to satisfy a computer it becomes harder for…

What do you mean by low? If it's something in the 40s I don't think you can do that without drugs.

OK I know it's been a long day for me but where did they get the "perfect humans" to eat?

Define from. I once tried to count and came up with 25 "permanent" addresses but that could be off. I was born in Fargo ND and lived the first 4 years of my life in Moorhead MN. My father's career took us to Milwaukee WI, northwestern IN, back to Moorhead, Fergus Falls MN, Jamestown ND and Morris MN. I attended college in…

Your entire journey is epic.

Interesting discussion. I stopped losing weight a couple months ago. I hadn't made any changes. I just reached a point where my body mass matched my calorie intake. Since then I've fluctuated between 149 and 151 so I've decided my goal is 150. A couple days ago my wife commented that I've gone too far. I just ran the CDC…

Wow Dan, I see what my son meant when he said you won't recognize a lot of what you eat. Post when you can but enjoy this adventure and we will enjoy it with you.

What an adventure.

In the thread Filthy Burgers I posted a link from the NY Beef Council. Part of it dealt with freezing patties and cooking them from frozen. Although I personally would make them with ground beef, you could probably work up a substitute with ground poultry.

Like every question about diabetes the answer is "it depends." One of the effects of diabetes is kidney damage. If you are under a doctor's care part of your regular set of lab tests should be one for protein in the urine. Proteins, glucose or ketones in the urine are all wasted nutrients. So I limit my carbs to keep my…

Safe travels, Dan. I look forward to the reports.

Unless you are trying to heal a specific injury, why a four week diet? For a chronic or long-term condition you need a different way of eating.

I don't diet, I eat. I don't exercise, I live. In mathematical terms, if I plot the length of my life on the x-axis and quality of life on the y-axis. I want to integrate my life so as to maximize the area under the curve. Restricting carbs and becoming more active contribute to that maximization.
