Thank You Lack of understanding LCHF eating and its effects is my best guess. From what I understand, cancer feeds on sugar, so not the response I expected from her. The diabetic nutritionist didn't like me telling her she was wrong ("you HAVE to eat carbs to be healthy"), and my unwillingness to follow her "proper…

I had a checkup last month. Since going low carb last November, I have lost 50 pounds, dropped my A1C from 10.6 to 5.3, and am now completely off my diabetes meds and the blood pressure meds I have been on for 20+ years. My cholesterol and triglyceride numbers are the best they have ever been in my life (I'm 39 now). I am…

I went to a running shop when we actually had one, and the Brooks Glycerin is what I ended up with after trying on like 13 different pairs of shoes...all of which the employee asked me to try on and walk around in, and they had a treadmill to try them with as well. I don't remember, but I believe they are a pretty neutral…

Unless its high calorie bread, lots of PB and Jelly, and more than 1 a day on top of a bunch of other calories. I can see a PB&J easily getting over 500+ calories. A couple of those a day add up pretty quick. Is there a reason you can't have a meat/cheese, or tuna, or salmon, or egg salad sandwich or a lettuce wrap with…

The only "real magic" of greek yogurt is its thicker and has more protein. Try a regular full fat yogurt, you may like it better.

The best milk is the one you like and fits into your diet plan/needs. I use almond milk simply because of the calorie and carb count being lower, but also use coconut or cashew when I feel like a change...I just adjust to make it work for me. All cow milk is pretty much the same on its most basic level (yeah I know there…

I never come even close to hitting the recommended daily level, but my potassium level has been fine in my blood work. Unless you are actually deficient, I wouldn't worry too much.

1/2 cup natural peanut butter, no sugar added 1/2 cup sugar or sweetener of choice 1 teaspoon molasses 1/4 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup slivered almonds 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free) 1 1/2 cups almond flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1- preheat oven to 375° F 2- mix together peanut butter, sugar,…

If I'm watching carbs, I'm probably not eating oreos. Although they were my #3 favorite at one time...peanut butter and chocolate chunk being 1 and 2.

Actually I don't mind the taste. I also use coconut milk and cashew milk on occasion and like both of those as well. I get enough protein and calcium from the rest of my diet, so that isn't an issue for me either. I always liked cows milk, but it came down to drinking a glass of milk, or eating something with carbs in it…

Well, the 2nd podcast said I should calculate based on my ideal body weight....I'm not sure what that is yet, since I think the 135 (I think I weighed that once in grade school) the charts say would make me look like a starving ethiopian (no offence intended). I used my current goal of 160lb and it gives me 96g. Since I…

Cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, spinach....pretty much anything that isn't a starch. I shredded cauliflower in a food processor, microwaved it for a couple mins, then fried it up with seasoning in my wok and had it with stir fry yesterday...it was pretty good.

Lower carbs and calories in my almond milk than regular milk.

Somewhere between 1 and 3 depending on my mood and where I am ordering.

I used it in place of rice to have with stir fry last night...not an exact match, but with spices/seasoning it was pretty close, and not mushy. I microwaved it and then fried it in a wok.

This may be a dumb question, but since coffee isn't required to have nutrition info...are there carbs/sugar in the flavored beans? Same question on the various flavored teas (I have seen a chocolate and a couple fruit flavors I have been tempted to try but have not since they lack the info.

Thanks for the info everyone...I'm finding it difficult to make myself eat such high levels of fat consistently, might just be a subconscious thing, or maybe just something I have to get used to after avoiding things for so long, I dunno...but I did have two sub 60 carb days in a row, which is huge for me (I'm usually…

LOL, I like to put a bit on some 90% dark chocolate for a treat.....and I use to put probably close to 1/4 cup on 2 slices of bread and have it with some chocolate milk.....but that was my previous life.

1oz of plain peanuts is 4g total carbs (3g fiber, 1g sugar) according to the USDA, so pretty hard to get super low if you eat much. I make my own from nothing more than plain peanuts in a Vitamix and I like it that way.

I like the taste of both, but the brand of Mayo can make a huge difference in taste. As a side note, mixing either with a little vinegar makes a yummy tangy "sauce" for veggies and my kids like it on mashed potatoes when they get to have them.

Me 2 please

I used it for breading some chicken strips and chicken nuggets, both tasted good (even my kids liked it), I found almond flour also works great. I have not had very good luck with it in the pancake department....not that the taste is bad, i never seem to get the right consistency.

Week 7 day 2

1. If you need extra rest, take it. An injury will just keep you out even longer. 2. No shame in repeating a day/week if you think you need to-at least your still working at it. 3. Absolutely find an actual running shop and have them help you pick the right shoe, it makes a huge difference. 4. Not sure how fast your trying…

Pucker up and buy the vitamix....it will last many many years and you can use it for more than making smoothies and juice (with all the pulp/nutrients/fiber). I regularly use mine to make all natural PB.

No shame in repeating a day/week if needed, your still lapping the people sitting on the couch watching tv. FWIW, the best advice I was ever given when going through the first time was to never look at the timer.

Actually I just did it...and it gave me 1200 for calories which I changed to 1600 and left at 2lbs a week. I am set to male. I started back at 190ish, and have always just left it at 2/week.

I completed it last year and then got busy and completely stopped running. After starting over, I just finished week 6 day 3 yesterday. I either run outside when its nice, or inside on a track when its winter (North Dakota) because I have never liked running on a treadmill. I think its because i prefer to speed up or slow…

Well, I'm not exactly a small person (Male, 5'5" @ 172lb trying to hit 160 at the moment), but I will try setting to sedentary and 1600 to see what happens. Thanks

How is your BP when it happens? I could tell when mine was high because any amount of caffeine (even eating some chocolate) would give me an awful headach for some reason.
