the general population is "most people, who do not have a condition in which ketosis is favourable". criteria for good long term diet is a diet you can sustain for life without negative health consequences, and preferably with positive health consequences. i get all these ideas from reading. i completely agree…

i think GMOs are a terrible idea by and large. for example, roundup ready corn. they plant the seeds, plant grows, spray with roundup. the corn plants survive, but your corn cobs now likely have roundup in them, having been absorbed from the most recent application. another reason why i don't like GMOs. farmer A sells…

i'd be happy to give it a try with a different recipe! soy-based milk type products gross me out.. i'll just have the dairy version thanks. i've never met a nondairy cheese that i can stand. i did, however, like the tofurkey well enough when i tried a bit at thanksgiving. i wouldn't buy it but i wouldn't have to choke it…

that last line is genius. my sister waxes everything off below her eyebrows. power to her. i don't shave anything, i simply trim my pits, except for certain occasions (a wedding for example) because it causes a lot of skin irritation in part due to a severe case of keratosis pilaris. i don't like being told i'm gross…

tried it for everything since it was sooooo good. they said. coffee: nothing like giving your cup of joe a coconut scented oil slick in the morning. fail. on toast: no. just no. frying: only good for things that naturally taste good with coconut. ie shrimp, white fish, certain vegetables. for baby's bum: great texture,…

i avoid chemical sweeteners like the plague. some of them give me seizures and some just taste bad. i use a little bit of sugar or molasses in my oatmeal, i use a touch of honey or Xylitol in my tea. xylitol's nice because it has a low glycemic index but can be fart-producing if you have too much. some people like stevia.…

oh and with all due respect to my sister who made them, black bean brownies really do have the taste and texture of black beans. i happen to like black beans, but not when they're mixed with agave nectar and cocoa and god only knows what else. i thanked her of course because they were a christmas gift, but absolutely…

i'm totally with you! apparently they're good for asian stir fry purposes. i had them as "pasta substitute", which they said was good, and they lied. oh, they lied. other misses: rice protein powder. greens+ (i know it's good for me so i take it in capsule form, but as powder drink? gag!) i forget the brand but it was a…

this thread is the funniest thing i've ever seen. i literally laughed so hard i farted.

my husband refuses to cut his armpit hair to lessen the man-stink, so i see no reason why i should shave mine. if it gets too long it's annoying so i trim it to about half-inch long, and occasionally i might use my husband's clippers to get it shorter. shaving causes me incredible skin irritation and it lasts for days. as…

the body can also lose the fat cells themselves. it's called apoptosis. judging from what i see in my mirror, it doesn't happen half as often as gaining new cells!

also notable, the standard ECA stack is terrible for anyone who has anxiety issues. i actually loved nutrisystem, i found some food choices i loved and just rotated them over and over. i lost a good amount of weight and stayed reasonably strong, so i think it was a good weight loss, but it was too expensive for me as a…

it works for them because it inhibits brain activity. clue #1 that it is not right for the general public. the human brain does not like ketones very much, it'll use them if glucose is unavailable and you can survive but it is NOT a good long term diet for the general population. i have epilepsy and i tried keto for a few…

yup, 28B exists. 30 band size is easier to find. 28 is usually a specialty size, just like my cup size. i'm totally losing curves in the wrong places.. i've lost 50 lbs and only lost a little over 2" on my bust, several inches off my waist but only 1" off the massive fat tire below my belly button. meanwhile, a few inches…

that is the most awesome transformation i've seen in a long time. must emulate the OP. baby got back! i have a bad case of bannock butt.

exactly. you burn fat all the time. when you're sleeping, your body is using fat as fuel. as long as you don't overeat your calories (and thereby storing fat), you're burning fat. if you exercise, there will be an increase in fat burning when you begin the exercise, and for some time afterward before your body goes back to…

different bra manufacturers, different bra sizing system. the UK uses a lot of doubles (GG, JJ etc). above a DD cup there's a lot of confusion because of it. in the US i'm wearing a 38M today, and in the UK i was wearing a 38J. i think. 13" difference between my rib cage measurement and my bust measurement. it's a myth…
-
don't. i made the "seems small" comment because i was trying to explain why someone would not want to go below a D cup. it's all relative. when i was a healthy weight, at my LIGHTEST weight, 5'6 and 124lbs, i was a DD. when i was 150lbs i was a G. i've talked to people from 3 different specialty bra stores and they all say…

stuff like this doesn't help. it's judgment, not advice. and prices vary widely from place to place. in my sister's town a normal sized package of granola bars costs nearly $10. generic butter is nearly $10/lb, a small head of cauliflower $8. can of corn? over $5. availability varies, too. i can't get grits in my town.…

when you're used to being average or big, C cups seem very small. i would be devastated if i went below DD because i've been that big or larger since i was 15. when i lose weight i will likely still need a reduction because i'm a 38JJ (UK size, which is something like a US38M), but if i lose too much i'll just try to have…

this too. "no offense but" just means you're going to say something they'll take offense to, and you bloody well know it.

totally exactly right. if someone is transgendered, they go by their true gender, not the sex they were born with (note there is a difference between sex and gender). if someone is transsexual, they have physically transitioned their sex to match their gender (surgery). and if someone is gender fluid, you call them what…

sounds like something i should ask for when valentine's day comes around!

i may be stepping in it here, but why consume that much fat?

do kettlebells do things that dumbbells cannot? i'm not knowledgeable in the area, and i want to choose my future weight equipment intelligently.

originally 125 lbs to lose, now 75 lbs!

that's priceless larrodarro! hello cool kids! i hope you're having a good weekend. mine has been full of holiday shopping. right now i'm skipping a work dinner of my husband's because i just know i would gorge myself. so instead, i'm sipping a latte and checking in here. tomorrow i have some appointments regarding…

brassicas contain difficult-to-digest fibre and sulphur. very good for you, but can cause gastrointestinal effects. very common.

fried goats blood? that's new to me! not sure i'd want to try it. but good for you for being open minded :)
