  • That mix of drugs is killing off your thyroid and your metabolism, that explains the weight gain. I was diagnosed with Graves disease in ‘94 or ‘95. Before that dx I could eat everything I wanted and was a size 3/4, that part was fabulous! The dry eyes, rapid heart beat, raging irritability & sleepless nights were…
  • I am only able to access MFP on my phone. How do you add friends from here? Thanks!
  • The Chol/HDL is 3.8, 2016 was 4.7, 2015 was 3.9 HDL/Cholesterol is 53, 2016 was 43, 2015 was 46 LDL is 123 What would cause the triglycerides to increase like that?
  • I ate whole eggs, light and dark meat chicken, cheese, cream, butter, spinach, cauliflower, tomatoes, avocados, turkey, radishes, berries, salmon, etc. I primarily ate a low carb high fat ketogenic diet and was losing weight, so I thought the tests would come back even better than they had before because I weighed less.
  • That was interesting, thanks for that. I will have to watch it again as the skeptic and the doctors in my head are saying "no way" it has to be the reason it's jumped. I will say I felt so much better on a moderately ketogenic diet, I slept better, my inflammation was gone, food cravings were gone, I had energy and clearer…
  • 2015 total cholesterol was 178 LDL 106 Triglycerides were 159 2016 total cholesterol was 200 LDL 115 Triglycerides were 129 2017 total cholesterol was 203 LDL 123 Triglycerides were 210 I have done a few rounds of the keto diet which is high fat/high protein. Over the last 3 years, with about a 12 month break from it in…
  • I would love to be added as your friend. TIA!
  • Cheeseburger Salad: I put all of the things you would put on a cheese burger in a bowl. So, lettuce, tomato, chopped bacon, red onion, chopped dill pickles, shredded cheddar and cut up cooked lean burger or ground meat. What ever dressing you like, I like to use bottled mustard as my dressing. Yum!
  • By it worked, I mean that the first time in many many years I lost weight and quickly. I was never hungry, my head was clearer, I had better energy and my stomach issues disappeared. On the downside I had rapid heartbeats, hair loss, insomnia and a skin rash everywhere. My thoughts were if I were to do keto again I would…
  • We like their frozen sweet potatoes and occasional frozen mashed potatoes, meatballs, un-cured turkey bacon, coconut chips and produce.
  • My top 5 craving crunchers are: 1- dill pickles dipped in ranch dressing 2- avocado wedges dipped in ground flax and fried in coconut oil 3- spoonful of peanut butter 4- celery and cream cheese or peanut butter 5- tea with monk fruit or Oregon sf chai with unsweetened coconut milk heated. Also have been known to dip cheese…
  • ^^^ Those sweet potato taco's sound amazing! We had Eating For Life's Chile Relleno's and salsa. Yum! Followed by a light mug cake with mini-chocolate chips in the center.
  • •I like to make Thunder Thighs. I mix 1/2 C. Soy sauce with 1/2 C. Sriracha sauce and marinate boneless thighs. I cook them on the Forman Grill, but they can be baked. Use less Sriracha if you don't like spicy food. •Or add frozen boneless skinless chicken breast to a crockpot. Add a packet of taco seasoning, small can…
  • Take a box of Devil's Food Cake and a can of pure pumpkin, mix and put in 12 cupcake papers. Bake at 400° for 22+ minutes. So good! I sometimes add a small amount of mini chocolate chips. Without chips they are 181 calories. I think it's even a Hungry Girl recipe. Just noticed ^^^ is about the same!
  • Thunder Thighs! 1/2 cup soy sauce & 1/2 Sriracha Hot Sauce. Marinate & grill. Yum! I use my Forman Grill or pan fry, but I bet they'd be good baked. If I use Braggs Amino in place of soy sauce I use less than 1/2 and add water to equal 1/2 cup. Hope you enjoy it!
