Much less after the initial breakout.

Carbs, because my genetics hate me and I have a condition they exacerbate.

Im right there with you, nasty tasting. Mine goes away if I have some cream in my coffee.

I might be in the minority here with this opinion: I don't think carbs, or fats, or whatever else should be demonized or glorified in the way people are prone to do. Everything effects different people in different ways, for us within this group demonizing carbs within our lives makes sense. But it's a journey we're all…

If this diet was a radical change fro you it could have brought around side effects from medication again. I know some of the side effects of my meds have returned, but they're nothing that I can't deal with by adjusting the dose a bit or having some coconut oil(it calms cramps for me).

It has to do with the biology of the human body. Carbs, then fat, then protein for fuel. CICO is a nice way of telling your body there is a famine and you're not getting enough to eat, famines have historically lasted for a long time, the body would rather adapt to the low cals than lose weight making you able to survive…

It bothers me to some extent, not online so much as in person. Like if someone inquires as to why I'm eating almond bread with salami and then tells me not to waste my time with low carb because it didn't work for them, well that's just irksome as it gets.

I just got a lunch bag that I absolutely adore, big enough for a good size lunch and dinner, plus a bottle of water and a couple snacks. It's a spicy relish one by built, got it on amazon for about 20 bucks. It's neoprene, and keeps food cold for around 8 hours with one of those flat plastic icepacks (I think they might be…

Knitormiss that sounds amazing, I'll have to try just some cream cheese mixed with other things I guess!

I weigh daily or close to it, but I also keep a graph in excel and follow the trendline.

LOL, I know. I'm in a "lobby congress to death" industry myself, but I do know that the corn/grain lobbyists have lost out on subsidies in recent years. Corn and wheat are slowly losing some of their power it seems. We can hope right?

One of these days they'll get it completely right....

My boyfriend wants to try nutri system for men *shudder*

I'm glad to hear tomatoes are in, BLT wraps are a summer staple!

All of us are different, use keto for different things, etc. Just because you get cravings after x-point or need to eat more often than most of us doesn't mean you're doing something wrong, just means we're all human.

Thank you!

They did say that, but fat is still stigmatized I think. :(

Lose it, any kind of fasting would help, or increase fat dramatically. KEEP it off, I have no idea.

Too fatty a meal makes me vomit, more then 4 tablespoons of mayo or the equivalent fat grams will make me want to curl into a ball and puke.

I think I'll get a couple bushes then! We can grow pretty much anything here, except blueberries, it's just not cold enough.

I live in california's central valley, compost creates plants destined to take over the property. How are the gold raspberries? They have them in local stores (plants) and I've been considering them.

Aw drat, I was gonna get geese for guard dog replacements! LOL

Crystal light is off the menu for me, some flavors have a different sweetener, not aspartame, sucralose I think. It's always caused issue for me.

I think producer's hwc is zero carb on the label, but from the standpoint of a dairy producer there is no way to take all the sugar out of the cream, so there's got to be some carbs.

Lol, I was raised with it, makes a huge difference I guess. There are mini-cows too now.

Try begging for a couple dairy goats, I have goats and they're so much easier to deal with than a cow. Boyfriends family has a cow, evil creature.

They're not so upper crust but can be more expensive. Also not found in like cost less, more a Safeway and above thing. Full fat greek refers to Greek Yogurt made with cream or at least whole milk. It's heavenly, but hard to find. I make my own with straight goat cream.
