Stevia is a natural sweetener "made from the leaves of a plant, Stevia rebaudiana It may start as a natural plant, used for hundreds of years in SA, but what is done to it in processing usually means adding sugars like maltodextrose. a pure liquid stevia ( Sweet leaf) as mentioned with no additives MAY be safe, but a 1985…

AZURLAZ-By employee owned do you mean a real collective? Because I'd put up with a lot of nonsense and temptation to support one of those. Called "Winco", it had another name before it became employee owned (WinCo Foods, Inc. is a privately held, majority employee-owned American supermarket chain) we do also have a…

Weaning from the need for sweetness I think is HARDER than giving up favored carb foods..too many decades of sugar/AS in our foods, our tastes are so degraded we respond like the rats who chose Oreos over Morphine in trials. Just sayin' Peronally I am having a hard time trusting any sugar/sugar replacement for a variety of…

Pumpkin---also a dietician. I'm a little worried that the dietician is going to try to make me follow a diet that I don't want to follow. What if I get someone who thinks low-carb is "wrong"? Or they can only agree with the government-recommended guidelines……. Please be prepared to face all of this..BUT the night before re…

403Isaiah- I just haven't stumbled across others like me who can share their experiences yet. two words: personal responsibility. you need to help yourself, some people ask a million questions, then spread their wings and fly, some people need spoon-feeding forever. which will succeed?

Sharon9597…great post.

Boohoo I am pretty sure I wrote you about hempseed protein, and pumpkin seeds too as meat replacement. I am on a veggie based (but NOT vegetarian) LCHF diet and lost equal amounts of weight with meat, and without. And my kidney function improved without meat, and goes down when I do have it. here is just one of many sites:…

Winter is coming ..try Bulletproof Cocoa!!! At night ( or anytime) I like to have a non caffeine hot drink with high fat… almond milk (unsweet) with real cocoa powder or melting 100% plain cocoa bar, add butter, and heat. Depending on calories left for my day (Oh yes..I need to limit calories to lose, it is not unlimited…

Thanks Total..I DO egg fast ( one so far) that works for me. ..I am just not able to tolerate a long water fast… for many reasons, most medical, but this is a LIFETIME WOE for me..so ignoring the "brick wall" of the VA is my best choice. Here is Navy SEAL (female) and they have HER pushing the carbs too..while SHE admits…

there are a few specific groups here dedicated Keto and Low Carb, Adkin's topics..join those as the main boards are not going to be as helpful since every kind of diet is being discussed.

HI we are about the same height, weight is close, and so are calories/fats/ plan etc. I've been following a <30 carb Keto plan since Feb 1..the first 4 months were fairly easy loss..and great "ketobrain" energy….after an ER visit for stomach flu late May I have sort of stalled to 1 lb a month loss…and a new med increased…

you gave no info

yes….I just redesigned my 1450 calorie plan (I must limit..boohoo) ~110 gr fats worked very well Feb-May when I lost 25 lbs easily. I drifted off eating ~200-300 calories more a day over last 3 months due to too many fats, and NOW I can see I DO need to control calories. ( a new med also caused hunger, weight gain and…

I am so disappointed with my VA Kidney doc who tells me with almost grim delight that Dr. Adkins high fat diet ACTUALLY caused him to have a massive brain stroke, then he fell and died on icy pavement. Says she worked in the NYC hospital at the time and knows the "truth"… how do I trust her? She assured me I could continue…

Sunny--- I know exactly the ridiculous position you are in to either FOLOW this advice, or 'pretend to"..I just posted about the old school renal RD telling me to eat carbs 3x a day despite my insisting to the kidney doc I am NOT going to do a carb diet, "Oh we will just tweak it" right. the RD I am dealing with a poor…

Kayden…you are the perfect example of someone looking at your weight and having NO CLUE why you hit 265 at such a young age… no one can understand all the effects of all the drugs. …..hopefully your family and friends are supportive..and the best news is you have an adorable munchin to love all your life!! ( and being…

sideways comment: many years ago I was on an airplane, and served coffee..it came with a little plain packet marked" Coffee Whitener" I said to myself.."well, there is truth in advertising!"…..because no cow came within 100 miles of that powder.

KC…there are a million protein powders with lots of additives, some are good quality, but all can be pricey…the cheaper= the more sugars and dyes in them. Just Hemp..hulled hempseed is so much easier, and cheaper to buy.…besides the snacking raw as mentioned- or adding to any other foods, just grind them to a finer…

Tia…yep, her tough guy trainer said it about her that she hides behind the PCOS too much. but her level of maturity for 30 is pretty low, even with modern standards of kids living at home til 26-30 due to the economy. If she didn't have a cute personality there would be no 'show' In the 1950s-70s she'd have been married…

Humboldt Nation- coastal N. CA - geographically-home of "emerald triangle"-pot capital of the USA Eureka CA is the largest small town in Humboldt..we are considered a "frontier" because there are still fewer than 6 people per sq mile. Home of 10,000 Victorian houses-mostly because we're too poor and isolated for the post-…

I looked at this and the cutting out of all sweeteners and dairy doesn't work for me…so I will stick to VLC..but it looks like a great way to 'eliminate' everything..and start clean,,, which works for many people

My fave new dessert is ricotta cheese, frozen strawberries blended for 2 min in a foodchopper ( little Oskar type) Lowfat Ricotta has 100 calories p 1/2 cup…and add a hand full of strawberries, some stevia/sweetener..I sometimes add HWC..just a short blend, and ZOWIE …..ICE CREAM…. smaller berries dont work as well, but…

There is an argument going on in a medical site I am in… several cancer survivors, me included, promote a healthy diet FIRST..as children, and during, and after any chemo or treatment…but there are the 2-3 screaming science dweebs ( of which I am one most days) saying "your diets" don't cure anything… thus proving my point…

"…..can't do butter in unnatural ways…" ummmm…butter used in any way is natural as I see it..<grin> Maybe the CICO crowd will rise up and protest the unnatural use of butter too?
