Here's the recipe I use to make my low carb wraps at home, 4 ounce (113 g) plain pork rinds, crushed (I use my ninja) ⅛ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon salt (optional) 4 ounces (113 g) cream cheese, softened 3 large eggs, 3 egg whites ¾ cup (117.44 ml/ 170 g) water Place the pork rinds in a food processor and process until…

I also try to hit my macros versus strictly counting calories, namely protein and making sure my net carbs don't run away on me. I usually have a bulletproof coffee in the morning or something with a shot of MCT oil in it a little before working out on those days, so I don't worry about fat too much once I'm good and well…

Thanks for your replies! I currently use my galaxy s6 and google fit, which estimates less burn than MFP does, I'm not really worried about particularly saving money, I just don't want to spend a months worth of mortgage payments on something that may end up not as useful as I'd hoped either, which is why I mentioned a…

I bicycle pretty much everywhere I go in town if I am by myself, roughly 100 - 150 miles per week on average for a bulk of what I am concerned with. Recently the last couple of weeks I have gotten into a routine of doing Insanity once or twice a week with my wife, with whatever video she is on that day. Otherwise I am…

I bought a bicycle to start riding to work two months ago, mostly for the extra exercise and to help get in some much needed 'me' time, along with the veritable cornucopia of unmentioned benefits. I have cycled to work since all but 3 days where the weather was really bad, averaging about 65-80km per week plus an…

You said your doctor suggested staying below 50g carbs, presumably for weight loss, or is there an underlying medical condition such as thyroid issues or diabetes that could be of concern? If not it might be time to start watching calories more closely, definitely agree with the above. I'd try re-calculating my goals,…

Took my wife out for a lunch date today at Red Lobster, will be doing so again. Definitely yum! Didn't use the marinara sauce btw. Had a half order of mussels without the side of bread for an appetizer, and for lunch we had a lobster tail, a wood grilled shrimp skewer and shrimp scampi, crab legs, substituted the rice…

Taking a multivitamin on an empty stomach can definitely cause someone to have nausea and upset stomach. Copper and I think iron in the amount present in most multivitamins are the big culprits. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and Niacin (B3) are acidic as well and can also sometimes be found in amounts that might bug people on…

Grilled Portobello Turkey Jack Burger, with sliced Vine Tomato, Avocado, and Hot Sauce. Not pictured, grilled sweet potato wedges. Total Nutritional Content: 451 Calories, 13g Net Carbs, 24g Fat, and 42g Protein (total includes 87g of sweet potato wedges not pictured.)

SW: 306.8lb April, 2016 CW: 261.2 4.2lb down from last week, a little much for my preferences (I prefer to lose 1-2lb) and a complete surprise honestly, but sometimes you gotta go with it. I even weighed myself on the professional medical scale at work and weighed a little less later that evening but I did just get done…

This would help raise cortisol levels and stall/slow weight loss too... 800 calories especially less is really low, and that is why macros would matter. I try hitting my macros first, calories second (if you're measuring/calculating properly your macros should be in the very near proximity of your calorie deficit anyway),…

I would say they matter, I mean if you're in ketosis and are describing problems with brain fog and sleep, are you getting an adequate fat intake? Your body needs either carbs or fat as an energy source to regulate hormones and all sorts of other bodily functions which can affect sleep. Bumping your carb intake up might…

The sugar listing is kind of pointless for most people, Sugars are just a type of carbohydrate and are included in the total carbohydrate listings on the label. To get net carbs, just subtract the fiber from the total carbohydrates. On some labels you may also see the term Sugar Alcohols, for these you subtract half the…

Rode my bicycle 50.8 miles yesterday, first trek over 50 miles in several years. Plan on working up to 80-100 miles at least once a week so I can make the Homestead Trail (about an 84 mile round trip for me) a regular thing this fall when it reopens.

Low Carb Cream Cheese Jalapeño Hushpuppies. 8oz. cream cheese. 4 jalapeños with seeds removed, diced. 56g ground pork chicharrón. 1 egg well beaten. Mix first two ingredients, roll into 10 balls, place in freezer on cooking sheet for 10-15 minutes until set. Prepare egg and chicharrónes in separate dishes. When the cream…

For a week now I've been riding my bike the 3 miles to work every night.

4/6/16 SW 306.8 7/13/16 CW 271.6 35.2lb lost so far! NSV As of last week I started riding my bike to work almost every night now too!

Net carbs, I try to keep my net carbs equal to or below my daily fiber intake. Usually between 25g-35g, often times my net carbs are much lower in the 10g-25g range. I've learned to avoid foods with high glycemic index/load ratings as well, so even if I do have a few more carbs in a day, it doesn't usually spike my blood…

This is the lower carb recipe I use for meatloaf/meatballs. For the meatloaf (or meatballs): 3 lbs. ground beef (80/20) 1 cup white mushrooms, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ cup onion, finely chopped ¼ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese ½ cup almond flour…

I often don't use any sugar sub either, and they turns out just fine, sometimes I'll add a little flax to make them fluffier or SF vanilla extract to add a natural sweet instead.

Sure thing, sorry it took me so long to respond! Simple Cream Cheese Pancake Recipe They're delicious!

Things I hate about LCHF... 1. Everyone at home suddenly being conscientious about whether I'm in the room before they eat something with sugar in it, seriously folks? Just stay out of my pork rinds and we'll be okay. 2. Co-workers apologizing for eating junk food in front of me... Again, not a problem. I got dark…

Agree 100% with everyone else who said you can't spot reduce fat, eventually you'll get there if you lose weight. That said, my favorite Ab exercises are: 1. Landmine 180's 2. Flat Bench Lying Leg Raise 3. Alternating Oblique Twist 4. Plank into Lunge I hate doing crunches or sit ups, they kill my neck and lower back and I…

Without viewing your diary I can only speculate, but sometimes with IBS if you eat too much fiber (insoluble) it can give you diarrhea, and veggies might not help in your case instead doing more harm; though it sounds counter-intuitive a bulk forming laxative like konsyl might actually help add substance to your movements,…

I'm pretty sure it's safe to eat that many eggs. Many new studies have sort of debunked the "dietary cholesterol raises blood cholesterol levels for everyone" belief. Most people's cholesterol isn't affected by what they eat enough to be a concern or even at all, unless you have underlying health concerns that your Dr. has…

From the Lakeside District in Muskegon MI, but currently live in NE. Grew up going to Muskegon Fury and Grand Rapids Griffins games. Guess I'll go back to the mitten state if the Detroit Red Wings make it to the Stanley Cup Finals of the NHL playoffs. I do miss the beaches and the rivers for fishing though.
