Bindi… more amazing science fiction with so much heart you want to hug the protagonist. Can having the world's thickest dreadlocks brings two totally alien cultures together? An African tribal girl whose people coat their bodies and hair with red clay goes off to space adventures because she is a math brainiac…and thru her…

Has anyone read the recent study on these people post-loss? They all (but 1 person) gained back all they lost, and now have lowered metabolism Permanently!!! ..a double whammy…they are NOT burning 400-800 calories for the same excercise and calories as an average non-fat person, so they are now trapped for LIFE having to…

There are advocates (MDs) who blog on Mg...I take a liquid added to water, tea, etc, and yes we need MORE than the 300…800 is closer to best, reason being our FOOD no longer has the amount of nutrients..our grandparents got much higher amounts in all veggies, etc because soils were amended. another reason to find and buy…

….a full grocery shopping trip is as many steps as a day at work for me, so that explained why I struggled so much doing both on the same day! Exactly! After my car accident in 09 I learned that I simply can't do 4 trips/errands in one day. SoI do one planned event, and maybe on the way home may stop and pick up…

Is it possible breast feeding mothers shouldn't plan diets so strictly? Not saying not eat lower carb, but it may be that your body needs a different nutrition base to keep you feeling 'normal', for producing milk, estrogens, etc...there must be research on this. try searching for info on this and if it shows up as OK to…

Kimdawn..I am convinced (being decades older than most here) that our culture's advancing need for immediate gratification is what drives people ( mostly women) to 'starve" themselves for short term desires ( a wedding, party dress, a vacation, etc) Example- When HCG diet first came out (an injection made of pregnant…

Sugar 58 g << this is going to be too high for LCHF…the DAILY average USDA standard diet (SAD) my RD and others recommend is 20 gr..less than 1 reg. Coke… For LCHF the goal is as few sugar as posseble, either give them up, or use arctificial sweetners, which is another whole decision and may effect loss…bummer. Sugar can…

Gall pain is NOT between the shoulder blades, and is more to the lower right abdomen under the ribs, where the gall is. Yours sound like what others are reporting. My gall is desiccated /shrunken and ruined due to low fat diets for years, when you stop eating the fats your body need the natural bile turns to sludge, stones…

MY favorite is Germa/Dutch baby Pancake..which is a huge puffy , but dense, multi egg dish baked in a cast iron pan. For single serving I bought a small 6-8" pan, reduced recipe, you don't need a huge 12" pan, too heavy to handle for just occasional use. You can make this for one person with 2-3 eggs, reduce other…

dasher is right..MOST of the protein is soy isolate-- junk- the lowest food value, plus all the artificial sweeteners, these can be a slippery slope as they keep you from pushing to actually cook REAL food. for emergency/convenience /road trips sometimes they can help, but too tempting and the body doesn't recognize many…

kabdu108-Age 63, Total Weight Loss 75 pounds, Sedentary (Disabled). Hi, Well, we're in the same boat, after a head on collision at age 60 a few years ago I recovered, and was back walking the dogs, very active, but last 16 months it's a downward slide as I age and the impact of all of it effecting me, and walking without a…

I did this last year and it was 6 eggs a day…the fats are mayo and some cheese with each egg, eggs fried in butter. you will be SICK of eggs, HB, fried, soft boiled is hard as nothing to sop it up (no pork rinds either) BUT it is more calories. I am on day 4 of a Fat fast because I now longer can eat so many eggs (kidney…

excess protein is not a problem Definitely a problem for 1 major reason: the body can't store protein, so it is converted and stored as fat… please RESEARCH before you trust vague advice. Only heavy lifters/endurance exercise people will need more protein. Jimmy Moore on his blog says protein kept him stalled…look up…

Karlatapp- HWC in coffee, or tea. No protein, all fat. I believe this stuff has saved my life! Absolutely! the one thing I could never give up was HWC in my daily coffee, now I have no reason NOT to indulge. Macadamias are deliciously dangerous to me 10 nuts is 200 calories!! a bit hit on daily totals. MFP food tracks are…

Krazy, I had the same problem, being told by my Renal RD to consume carbs, & with a kidney doc breathing down my neck (and frequent checkups)....til I went from 30 carbs and created an out of control popcorn obsession, getting >130+ carbs a day…and slow gain! Frustrating. Once you start with carbs it's difficult to quit…

Garmin Vivo active gave me 980 calories for a long bike ride. MFP called it 2200!! Yeah, I read a few articles, and trainers are saying people constantly (wishful desire) over-rate burned calories! The various gym machines also give overly positive results too, add in that most of us are sloppy on measuring, or the 40%…

Mandycat sez:To be sure, Erma struggled with her weight during the era of nothing but lettuce leaves, cottage cheese and Diet Tab as a sustainable eating plan. MORE important is during that generation, and because of President Esienhower's heart attack, and Dr. Ancel Keys' influence, the entire NATION went crazy over CVD…

Roid rage man sez: The OP didn't ask for your religious voodoo BS. She's seeking help. She needs to get help from qualified professionals, not people who are so backwards and stupid as to still be following a book written thousands of years ago and disproven during the Enlightement.* Have you ever actually read that piece…

SUNNYB said: But the funniest thing is what he actually proved was that it does in fact have a metabolic advantage. Even if his numbers only reflect it as being about 100 calories a day, it's an advantage. RIGHTO! And haven't we seen all the silly advice to "just eat 50 less calories a day and lose 10 lbs this year". My RD…

I've tried moderation, tried eating all those healthy foods and doing it 'the right way, just cut back a little, make healthy choices 90% of the time and the weight will come off' and it just doesn't work for me. This does.…

THAT HIGH of Protein is way over any standard I've seen (Livestrong lists 56 gr protein a day for men as the base, 46 for women) so eating almost 5X that may be an issue. There is a lot online to read on this. Apparently the body can't store protein it doesn't use immediately..so it is converted, then stored…which will…

How many years have we been told fat is bad for us though! ahhhh..but it continues because NO medical staffer or RD trained in the USDA/AMA/Dietary Standard rigamarole of 45-65% carbs can approve anything else. Unless one has brain seizures then a Keto diet is not allowed to be advised. My docs all freak out over the word…
-
Gisel2015 There is no way to burn 300 calories in a 60 minutes Pilates class or burn 1000 calories doing Zumba. You are correct. I've read articles and seen comments by many trainers who say people are way overestimating the actual calorie burn, and the machines also give 'false' readings to make their products look…

The www.davita.com site for diabetes and related diseases all push the 30-50 carbs per meal.. with hundreds of higher carb recipes! After I successfully lost weight on LCHF (and accidentally/temporarily had increased my potassium..a no no for kidney patients) I was forced to see a renal RD who stupidly insisted I eat 50…

"It's easy to cut open a body and say the cause of death was cancer Actually what usually advances death is not the cancer but cachexia..inability to utilize nutrition. We see cancer patients as then and emaciated, unable to eat or keep food down. And the RD is correct LEGALLY/professionally they MAY NOT teach anything but…

I read a lot of nutrition studies in pubmed…. NOT ONE ever restricts carbs when they are testing High vs Low fat…as example: 7% fat vs 12% (high) fat intake..but the CARBS are set at 45-65% which is STANDARD USDA guidelines. And most are only 2 weeks which we know isn't long enough for real results. So no study currently…

"Anybody seen any other new ones for the Groups?" I would love to see a Newbie FAQ on LCHF for Vegetarians. I just read the now closed discussion by an OP who was told she can't logically/realistically do a <20 gr WOE. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10361470/so-bloody-sick-of#latest What I see happening in…

Keep in mind the US Gov got involved in setting a standard for what to eat…based on one man's ideas ( Dr. Ancel Keys) and in the 70's offered us the Food Pyramid.. NO human studies of any kind where done to show that 45-65% carbs/gains were ideal. And most eat far over protein needs because it is cheap and available. You…

Diabetes is also connected to kidney failure...meaning 44% of diabetics will fail with sick kidneys, and require dialysis to survive. These diabetes/kidney patients are ALSO advised on the same USDA "plate" of high carbs, and WORSE learn "fear of Bad fats" The American Kidney Fund (non profit) site says under the banner of…

LATEST report on our state is over 52% are either diabetic or pre diabetic..my county is at 64% http://publichealthadvocacy.org/_PDFs/prediabetes/Prediabetes_Policy%20Brief.pdf What are the statistics in YOUR state? I am guessing the deep south may have the highest numbers where dietdoctor charts show most obesity. Policy…
