In order of preference: ghee, coconut oil, bacon fat, olive oil. Packaged ghee is very expensive, so make your own. Here are instructions: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/ghee-recipe.html Be sure to use unsalted butter.

Sarcastic tone is not productive.

The scale is not lying. The scale is reporting your accurate weight. Your problem is that your body weight is the total of all that is in your body: bones, organs, blood, muscles, fat, other fluids, etc. Between weighings you may have lost fat mass but gained mass of other elements.

Perfect. Thank you.

Ghee (clarified butter) is a good substitute for coconut oit. For the best quality use grass-fed butter.

Looks tasty. Can you recommend an alternative for Cool-Whip for those who don't want to eat the crap that's in that stuff. Also, how much does each of your squares weigh? Your current data is based on your specific silicone mold.

Swap out your high carb, low protein breakfast for high protein and fat and low carbs. This will have many health benefits.

What big deficiencies did you have? How were these related to a low-carb diet? And how were they cured with a multi-vitamin? Please provide more information.

If I listened to what the government says, I'd be eating grains all day long and justifying their corn and soy bean subsidies.

Egg-based muffins are a good choice. Here are some recipes. Check the nutrients. They're all paleo but some are higher carb than others. http://paleogrubs.com/egg-muffin-recipes

I don't have "cheat days." Hopefully, eating Low Carb/Paleo is an enjoyable way of life, not temporary torture for which relief is required.

Get some Oxi-clean (sp?) in powdered form. Mix it up with water, according to package instructions and apply to stain immediately. This should work for both the coffee and oil. Cleaning cabinets and walls depends what they're made of and what the finish is.

Adding corn syrup solids, dextrose, and sugar to the sausage patties is completely unnecessary. We can probably also assume that it's the cheapest pork they could come up with, so who knows what the pigs were fed? This matters when you eat meat. You eat what the animal eats. Lots of crap in the cheese.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time and I believe you when you say this is a big change from four months ago and your weight loss is impressive. However, your diet is full of McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Bottled Ranch Dressing and other highly-processed foods. It's not just occasionally, but nearly every day. You state in your…

Congratulations on the weight loss! However, looking at your food diary, which is open for everyone to see ... there is so much processed food. For long term health, it's important to eat real food. There's more to good nutrition that hitting the mark for percentages of fat, carbs and protein. A MacDonald's breakfast…

This is an important point to emphasize.

Two poached eggs 2 tsp butter 1 cup of spinach sauteed in olive oil and garlic 1 cup coffee hand-dripped from freshly ground beans.

They'd eat the wheat if they were hungry enough and there wasn't anything else around, just as a starving human in a field of grass would chomp that down. Or, to give you a more realistic example, just as many humans given only coca-cola, a hot dog, and ice cream would happily eat only that all day every day.

You've lost 11 lbs in 20 days. How is that not fast enough?

It's just a trendy marketing term. Processes sound more innovative, as if a secret code is being broken, if referred to as a "hack," rather than as a technique or method.

What is your water intake like? I don't see it on your log. Also is your food log complete? All it shows for last Sunday is Tesco - Bombay Mix, 100 g.

Right. Sugar is addictive and this lets them continue to feed their addiction with ice cream and french fries.

I'm exactly the same.

The MFP discussion boards cling hard to the old calories in - calories out theory of weight loss. Two reasons for this: 1. It's a popular, though incorrect, theory 2. It's become group-think on the boards to go along with the crowd. Few people are comfortable rocking the boat.

Carbs are not irrelevant. In order to lose weight efficiently, you need to efficiently burn fat. This is much easier to do with a low carb diet. This is a very simplified explanation, but with a moderate or high carb diet you're burning more sugar and less fat. How efficiently or inefficiently you burn sugar vs fat also…

Too few calories Too many carbs Not enough protein

Cups is a measure of volume. Grams is a measure of mass. You can't convert from one to the other. You can convert cups to milliliters -- 1 cup equals about 240 mL -- and then either look up, or weigh, that volume.

If you are losing weight (the 30# you have to use) and are confident that you are meeting your nutritional goals, then you can get away without tracking. If not, then track everything. In my experience, people who don't track and don't weigh themselves tend to have poor outcomes. Also, obviously your body does not know…

Have Graves Disease and Celiac. Clean eating made a big difference for me.
