May, wonderful reading from OA. Things gong pretty steady for me right now. This weekend, I am going to make chicken pate' and homemade mayo. @ Twibbly, isn't it nice that we are getting some rain? I heard that the oil boom is subsiding a bit. Is the traffic on Midland-Odessa still heavy? happy Juneteenth, Oh, May my BDay…

you go out for dinner and you chose bleu cheese crumbles on the steak rather than a baked potato

May, I am from Amarillo, TX. Thanks fr the welcome.

HI Everybody! Thanks, May, for the invite. I am Low carbing. It has been helpful. Funny how the body changes as we mature, isn't it. Before, I could tolerate carbs better and my glands were more active. ;) Now thanks to low carbing, I am losing weight and inches. I have a nice workout plan to maintain my muscle mass…

Yes, you can lower your carbs if you wish.

How are you feeling? A good friend of mine got sleeved and she is doing great! She is vigilant about following what her doc and nutritionist prescribed,

Am having some good workouts. My shoulders are getting stronger, my posture is better, and my back feels good.

I have it for breakfast. Mine is 2 TBSP chia seeds, ground, 1 TBSP coconut oil, and coffee. I use a handheld blender to mix it.

Squeeze! Thanks for this. Robin Martinez. Sent you a friend request. So excited

Interesting. I wonder if this will have any impact on DM and childhood obesity.

Sounds great Johnnybhoy. Good plan. The liver will make glucose form the foods that you eat. Gluconeogenesis. I use ground chia seeds for fiber--low carb. 2 TBSP gound/day

wow, maintenance for 7 years is great, Scorpy. Glad that you are here and have included us in your wellness journey. Pedi

HI~~ I'm Robin. 57 years old, female. 20 years ago, I lost weight on a high carb, low fat diet (ADA exchange program). My job is extremely sedentary. Hypothyroidism, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, periodontal disease--all controlled. Auto-immune illnesses are rampant in my family, too. I suspect that my…

Oh yeah, insect eating. That is a new trend for sustainable protein. Bet some are crunchy, others not so much ;)

Thanks, Baconslave

The AHA has changed kits recs for cholesterol treatment. There is a site-- ASCVD risk estimator (free app, too) that addresses this. I think that Tim Noaks addressed this in a you tube video.

Thanks Tia and Twibbly. I will check her out. Pedi

Lowcarbfriends?

Oh Coco, sorry about your struggles. How about upping the carbs a wee bit to maybe 30-40 and then slowly going back down to 20? Kind of a gentler transition?

For my own health, I will have to keep my carb macronutrient %age lower. YMMV.

The problem may be that as with any diet, people do not continue to maintain the eating plan and the weight returns. It has to be a permanent lifestyle change to keep the weight off. Many long term maintainers utilize the same eating plan as they did while losing to maintain their weight loss. Per the Nat'l weight loss…

ooo, 35, wonderful accent at the dietdoctor site. Thanks

Thanks 35!

Right on Prof, my body weight can fluctuate up to 5 pounds in a day. OP, remember, go for the trend. Keep on keepin' on!

Thaeda, welcs. I like to learn new things. Isn't technology amazing!

Simple phrase, "I don't want to die fat."

Coco~~ I am 1200 cals/day, too. The experts suggest some type of broth with salt in it. As the low carb is diuretic, you may be losing a few of your electrolytes. Perhaps a cup or 2 of bouillon my be helpful. You may not be getting enough salt by adding table salt. Dr. Eric Westman of Duke says not to worry about the salt.…

Professional: I loved this--Tastes didn't change. The emotions associated with them changed. That has been true for me, too.
