Hi Twibbly.. I was HOPING my comment would not be taken as criticism of YOU.. I know you found it. nothing I said is untrue.

LC Pyramid ???? --- http://i.imgur.com/ezR0Y.jpg this seems to be an UNBALANCED, TRUE LCHF..it shows MEAT as the biggest portion and the BASE…which is inaccurate.. FATS should be at the bottom..after all we don't eat double "meats to fats" %..right? If I am consuming 100-140 gr fats then my proteins would be ~40-80 gr...as…

Just today I was thinking about how cranky people get without food every 4 hours…and the positive stress on most commercial diets that you eat "every 4 hours"..because they know your carb burner is out of fuel…(and the tricky 2 week sales pitch that ensure weight loss first 14..so you become convinced of their method..and…

What liquid are they using, I'm looking into that route rather than the pills Auntstephie… there are many liquid Mgs on the market..AND I found a jar of Mg as fruit flavored crystals to mix into water which I like..at HFS.. I use REMAG product, a liquid..you begin with 1/2 tsp in a qt of water, as example, and sip during…

there are some very gung-ho LC'ers who eat only meat..they are fine, they are also younger and healthy…. people who LOVE their method will defend it..fortunately the option to eat mostly vegetables and do LC also works. I don't argue for those who defend meat only..I'd get bored with it quick… and there is a new interview…

Start your OWN group..there are hundreds and hundreds of tiny family, company, challenge groups here with 2-20+ people… so this way you won't have an issue 'promoting' anything…. what this sounds like is a medical FAST…and Dr. Jason Fung, (long term fasting for severe diabetics) and many others teach all sorts of fasting…

Wabmester…... there is a lovely story of a man in the middles ages with a too small house, many children, an unhappy wife so he goes to the wise man for advice…..who says "bring the chickens inside… then bring in the cow, and both goats…so the man goes home and does this. after a few weeks the man is back at the wiseman's…

In the el-cheapo grocery are 17 kinds of bagged whey…they all have additives, dyes, flavors, etc. The bodybuilding movement + the Milk industry need to find use for tons of whey…..a product is born! There are reviews on the cleanest, purest etc…and outside of whey you have the choice of brown rice/spirulina/hempseed…

Egg fasts are also a great "get in touch with your true diet" opportunity. Being limited to 3 basic foods eggs-fats-cheese..you see how far off you drifted on other days. Even a modified egg diet AFTER is perfect not regain the (usual) water loss. Jimmy Moore is big on SLOWLY adding back other foods. SInce I do a "veggie…

Pennell asked: Did you recover from poor kidney function via LCHF? ?? I specifically said: "I switched to a plant based LCHF which reduced oxidative stress of meat waste…dropped meds, and focused on keeping carbs very low." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Losing weight also slows renal problems. Multiple Pubmed studies…

I am not thrilled with this 'LC talk" it was WAY more political, bashing both parties with UNRELATED war and biased reporting info just to prove "not to follow the herd". Why? this was LC cruise!! … I could see people in front rows were trapped, bird , and unable to leave… bad. He did a terrible job, is not a good public…

Gale..good luck with the VA…I just talked with a nephrologist who wants me to one back to the VA and retest my kidney function… the last two medical staff wanted me to add carbs, and this and that… I have resisted completely <I am Borg> I even told her I am NOT going to eat more carbs and all the RD's do is PUSH 60%…

Galehawkins--I just keep eating LCHF and let my body manage my weight/size and not worry about how it all works. But Gale..what would people waste spend precious time on if not worry over water ups and downs daily?
-
Sweettea..I have to agree with Mr. Goat on this one… as a Plant based LCHF gurl I am getting REAL veggies in my smoothies with kale/spinach, etc added to hempseed protein in almond milk. so normal nutrients from real food If I HAD to add iron etc I would buy quality liver and have it weekly, fried with onions as it seems…
-
Sk8Kate..and all… Mg does NOT reside inthe blood..so ANY serum test will show you are normal at 1-2% even if you are SADLY depleted as 70-80% of population in the USA… Mg stays in the bones and only is mobilized as needed..ie heart muscle needs, etc. ( MY last normal blood test showed 2%..proves nothing) So as per the…

Good Luck Cynthia…it can be a good motivator is you get stalled..and really does help with examining what you WERE eating that maybe sent you off track

GreenA..I am cracking up at the "sound of candy wrappers in bed…alone...in the dark…...…incredible denial !!!! but funny as all get out! At the worst point in 2009 I was such an incredible sugar junkie (it was fueled by a cancer I didnt know I had!!!).. I could buy a 3 pack of Cream Horns--like 500 calories each.....buy…

Short article on Sugar and Inflammation by Dr. Brownstein http://www.centerforholisticmedicine.com/blog/general-health/refined-sugar-impairs-immunity/ I cannot stress enough the dangers of eating refined sugar. Researchers have shown that white blood cells, the first line of defense of our immune system, become…

[off topic rant] I am a Veteran..and I also have to use a local clinic now run by the VA- a USGOV beaurocracy!!!!! 2 very kind MDs started this clinic 17 years ago..then as it got too big as vets got care the Gov. took over, moved us to a new remodeled building, and it took a damn year to get an $$$ Xray machine and…

403..NO..you have to be fat adapted..which means going thru the Keto flu, as your body adjusts to no sugar and carbs.. ( the first 2-4 weeks this occurs) having eggs in a diet that is low carb is fine..try it. a real stall is after 6-10 weeks of no loss. remember you body can hold a couple GALLONS of extra water or ANY…

Confused on how second hand smoke studies relates to AS complaints filed with the FDA. I do believe SHSmoke is a straw man... a political football..…just like concerns over reducing carbon dioxide is now the rage in some eco-circles. But when thousands of people do report problems with AS like aspartame I paid attention, i…

Of course you COULD say "NO I am not." I'm the same..keep saying it..and you shrink. ( an mess with their minds by saying you are on an all popcorn diet, or all licorice, or only cough suryp… they may think anything you do is crazy anyway Years ago when I worked in a big corp the HR manager actually came up and HUGGED…

I will only comment that Aspartame ( which Coke is now removing totally, as sales are dropping, as with pepsi..people don't want it in their drinks) is a substance that was POORLY tested, and yet the FDA inner circle went ahead and approved it..much like the untested grain experiment on the Amerina people by Ancel Keyes.…

as one LC MD says "Why on earth would you WANT to carry 10-15 lbs of EXTRA water? " not me…when you think of it ….forcing the heart & body to pump excess water doesnt make sense. ( why they give diuretic 'water' pills' to stop it)

I DO remember that Carol Burnett episode, and since I had read GWTW one summer- and loved it!-- I ALWAYS enjoyed the imagery of Scarlett being creative and using the drapes. ( it may have started me on my life of salvage and recycling..as my mom also was one to turn stuff into other stuff, so I grew up looking at things…

not less healthy than eating 50% carbs in a day? there is prolly NO WAY to influence people who think we need 'balance' that word alone kills LCHF Most people just can't wrap their minds around a no veggie diet..but also it isn't necearry eat NO veggie..I am following a plant based protein LCHF..tons of butter and fats…but…

Ebony..have to laugh..saw several documentaries where teens open the fridge and say "nothing to eat" when they mean instant food. the mom said 'there is 3 lbs of ground beef..make a hamburger" but of course they were too lazy. and the FUNNY burger fast food ad shows a 30 something guy in a grocery, at the meat case..he…
-
the eco-groovey crowd will bash because we are eating off the top of the food chain ( lots of meat), and killing animals. ( the 70s also saw the start of the "eat small on a small planet" movement, guilting meat consumers) Others will say there is NO longterm proof* this much fat will not harm the body somehow. Gary Taubes…

hahha thanks all..had fun posting this one.. no worries on having clothes too wear!! Like MOST women I have clothes in the 'back of the closet" that are 3 sizes too small…so I have a TON of clothes to shop from my own closet. I found I am wearing the same stuff over and over now because I know it will be time to say…

Within a month, it was down to 85-95, which is about where it is now. Steve, I wish I could get a FBG under 100.. I am not diabetic or pre diabetic according to my PP reading <140…but having a liver just pumping out the inulin in the AM is my problem, my doc said there is no fix. I DO know if I eat NO carbs my reading may…
