I am defiantly NOT anti Meat..and ate it when I started my Keto journey…but just trying to warn gently that this is part of consideration. I actually DROPPED many points of function the first 3 months of LCHF and alarmed myself because I had been eating MORE bacon and meats than I was used too. ( hey, who wouldn't have…

Number 10 really rings for me.." Because of the unique biochemical responses your body has to dietary fat, it’s highly improbable that you can eat too much of it." my 120 gr fats daily helped me lose quickly in 4 months..but a VERY long 6 months with virtually NO loss, up and down 4 lbs ( I can blame some new meds) …BUT on…

I needed a LOW carb dessert quick..so I rinsed the Miracle noodles well ( wonder if the taste of the Kelp noodle is too strong for this? you'll have to just try it) ..heated butter in a stir fry pan, added the noodles and heated them a couple minutes, added 1/4 C Ricotta cheese ( used for Italian dessert Cannoli) ( very…

My first meat free LCHF turkey day too..I was VERY thankful for the choice to eat high fat…I indulged in LC cheesecake, went over 2100 calories for the day, 180 gr fat..all high for me...and had made real turkey broth the days before so hot veggie soup with the broth was great..we are having extra cold, cover the plants,…

just a thought. .I listened to Dr Bernsteins radio program..this time he described how upset diabetics were who were following his "new" diet..they claimed they were having 'nutrients' taken away..blah blah.. but what he said was we are removing CARBS foods..REPLACING with lots of veggies..and most have NEVER considered…

RE: Laffing faces with Products.... as a newly minted Senior what irks me are ALL the brochures and info sheet and web sites about old age products..( Medicare ads, every product you can imagine) and in EVREY ONE there are the assortment of 4-5 "politically correct" silver haired oldsters grinning like fools over…

RE: fun with feminine products… there was a joke about "false impressions" years ago where the dad and little boy were planning their day out..the kid says we need to get a box of those things mom has..dad is confused..kid says "Yeah..when we have those we can ride horses, and swim, and and play tennis, go hang gliding and…

Private..there are some posters in the main forum. people with 3798 posts or more..the uber buff male 20 something 'shirtless wonders" mostly, who go on and on about CICO, and other nonsense…they seem to search out and comment on as many posts as possible..really annoying…and keep on the argument.. they can clutter up…

3 decades ago when me and hubby were very poor college students at the same time I would get together with friends and we'd use our cookie cutters to make tree ornaments.. I loved my Horse one, and also taught the children of friends how to make a "Christmas SNAKE…a long rolled tube is easy to do for kids..bend into an S…

The Moderators of this group asked us NOT to discuss this topic ....NOT to complain, or go and post in the main forum since we are under some official ruling and may be discontinued…all due to the same (bad) logic we face when even trying to discuss LCHF or keto anything. it seems we have drifted back into being allowed to…

Christinev297…as for these artificially sweetened syrup brands…. too tempting to overuse, not sure how great the ingredients are, we are better off with plain vanilla or other simple flavors- raspberry, orange, etc. …I looked at the store brands I see..they all have Aspartame as the sweetener..or other suspected…

For many with health or metabolic issues it seems one big meal is not something I'd want to do…cramming all the calories into one <30 min time seems anti-digestive…(you might one meal to include fermented food for gut health) those with gall issues etc might cause a problem with too many fats in a very short time….also…
-
Fastforlife..having it be accepted that LCHF can work in a WIDE RANGE of food choices, from vegetarian to carnivore makes sense because its the FATS comprise 70-80 % of the macros… so I do the same thing..I always have a pot of Miso soup going( and get the fermented benefit for gut health too) I add steamed shredded…
-
I'dlike to suggest food VOLUME..studies have found we visually are satisfied if the portion of something is the 'right size" since you dont want to eat 4 cups of meat..you CAN eat 4 cups of salad, veggies, soup..and be more satisfied with less calories, because you aren't getting so much of the denser/caloric meat…

younger dieters do not understand that carbs and veggie oils- corn-safflower-soybean- cause joint inflammation in older people…so this is one reason to try eating a low carb diet for at least a month..dumping all sugars and hidden sugars ( i.e. crackers, breads, cereals where are often loaded up) you won't know how a low…

"If I can lose 10LBS per month I will be more than satisfied." ++++++ Please make a plan now to handle the weeks and months when you may not lose at your schedule..it happens all the time to many of us. It might not effect you, but chances are there is a plateau time where the body does what it WANTS to, no consideration…

MIZ..I forgot I had seen her many videos back when I first started leto.but was still eating meat… when I switched to vegetarian I had forgotten about her. thanks for a reminder.

I'm adapting a medical diet to LCHF which must be vegetarian. The Walser very low protein diet for kidney function allows no meat, eggs, cheese, dairy, fish… BUT it was designed during the era of "fat fears"..so it advises absolute crap foods like "Cremora, and Heinz gravey in a jar….yuk! So my diet is very high in veggies…

Balesalica..with this new info that you are also working right away, and have some stress you are to be admired for trying to lose weight at the same time. Since you want some control to do something about weight..maybe set a goal of 50 carbs a day..and for next few weeks just practice keeping at or under 50…see how you…
-
Balesalica…wow..you JUST had a baby…and if you are breastfeeding your body is functioning on 2,000,000+ years of instincts to stay alive and provide rich nourishment for the infant… not even sure strict dieting of any kind is recommended now..yes give up any sugar and junky, processed carbs…but go easier on yourself on…

KnitorMiss…yes we are in the same boat in the clothing issue! "…..notion that for every 10 percent of body weight that you lose that you should focus on maintenance for several months (6 is recommended)" Interesting!!! I've lost well over 10% so I am encouraged to hear my body is probably doing what it must for a few more…
-
Tsazani…I'm experiencing the opposite…I stayed at <30 carbs for 6 months, lost a good chunk of weight, but started feeling more hungry on the 1450 calories as not satisfying, and my fats were always over 75-80%. I know for me decades of ruined health after CICO based low fat diets created these base problems, so my body is…

Neohdiver sez: "….they never win any converts, because fake turkey or fake chicken are never going to be as good as the real thing. The best way to succeed at any change in diet is to look at it as new territory, not an imitation of where you've been." Very well said! The very opinionated, very Vegan technician in my…

I have personally seen the high alcohol & DRUG problems with bariatric patients. On lady became so neurotic when she could not consume food…losing all the mental, social, physiologic, and human reasons we enjoy eating that she turned to alcohol..and was drunk all the time. Another was 'gifted' the expensive surgery via a…

on Germans and medical knowledge…. we lost 2 generations of critical, advanced medical knowledge because of the horrors of the Holocaust…and it tarnished all German doctors, researchers and specialists. A GREAT condensed history of Fats and cardiac health was presented by Dr. Attia…it is an enjoyable listen:…

Moonius..agree with you 100%…how long was your plateau in weeks? I am surprised a man can do well on 1200 calories limit..I've pretty much come to the conclusion that 1450 calories is where I have "Trained" my body to function from previous diets, not losing now.....so I hate going lower and do not wish to have an…

Mami..you are describing the ENTIRE USA eating pattern before Ancel Keys disrupted the nation's diet with the "eat High Grains" food pyramid… looking back at images of 1910 teens, 1940s children and teens, and up thru the 1970s…everyone was normal weight, with one or two overweight…T2 diabetes was unheard of. Then…

I can't help myself in stocking up on titles…..invested in every LC book I could lay my hands on, downloaded the Banting story, and tracked Steffansen's adventures via some guy's bog, and stayed up til 3 am reading (and LOVING) "Good Calories Bad Calories"…the MOST compiled research ever done, all so nicely presented to…

Ann… you can friend me if you like…..I'm 66, and have physical limits after a head on collision in 2009..my right side never recovered, so basic walking is the most for me. I think the "burning" energy of weight lifting, etc is meant to spark the fat burning…but we may just not have that option….maintaining daily activity,…

It really seems like the lowest common denominator are all jacked up to throw in their two cents. Welcome to "SELFIE NATION"… the obsessed culture of "it's all about ME"….being an older adult I have seen so many changes in our culture over decades...but the day people started with the camera phones..posting images…
