and anyone near the ocean or bay can just go barefoot and stand in the water for a bit… lots of Mg in ocean water. I do not think added Mg will affect Keto flu..but why not try it? lastly none of the veggies and foods grown by agribiz have Mg in ANY normal level. this is one place where getting Mg from Spinach or veggies…

I can recommend a wonderful site called INSPIRE, free, …many topics and groups with medically related issues from cancer to pain to mental health and many other specific problems for ANY health issue. better than a food tracking site, and more appropriate for you

I may be wrong on the Safeway bin cost of almond meal…a alb bag of Bob's Red Mill almond flour was $12.14 at the CHEAPEST store in town…but this is for a GOOD CAUSE..just to have a 'bread' type food would be lovely! I am so excited to make these..and I will add hempseed flour to see if it can partially replace the almond…

because grease, tallow, blubber and lard make "fat" sound lovely! HAHAHAHAH..I WISH I would have shocked my NP Urologist with the words.." yes I eat lard"….she blanched at the word "fats in LCHF description…and her eyes bugged out when I admitted eating butter.. so yea…let's shock them!

What I can say is I did and may still have liver issues, …....the higher FBG despite VLC is proving it. My MD was more concerned with PP readings…which are normal..how are yours? I may not be able to do anything ( or YOU either) BUT keep VVLC. On morning when I had almost NO carbs the night before I do have a lower FBG..so…

I was complaining about the company Hampton Creek showing an EGG in their logo..so eco groovy a mayo..but there is NO EGG..and they are being sued for the marketing sneakiness by Hellmans. I KNOW most mayo is not real anymore, they all have soybean oil....and dont buy it. It is what it is ..so I am free to choose. But to…

More than anything not stressing yourself over a 'diet',,no matter how wonderful LC is..might help. Circumstances are totally out of your control. You can decide what to put into your mouth..but PLEASE don't stress any more over it. if you went all your life without LC then a few more days of not being in strict LC will…

HI, there is really no reason to "add" anyone unless you and they will chat in the personal message window….some people want 563 'friends' whom they NEVER talk to..I love having <10 people who will develop a relationship and follow each other's progress. Just BEING inside this LCD group will provide a ton of topics and…

Krista..thanks so MUCH for the buns recipes..I have missed grilled cheese too..and the idea of dipping bread into egg yolk is attractive. I don't have cravings, but do want to expand my LC recipe base as to enjoy this more. I bought a big tub of psyllium husks and kept looks for a recipe..this is it!

I'm reposting the Kessler articles..Keto dieters HAVE HIGHER FBG. often because we are burning fats, and changing how insulin works..not a BAD thing at all.. my morning FBG is alway over 100..but my PP is always 140 or less..so I am actually fine. Meds cause a raise too. Lasix and other drugs will do it. I had a 'dessert"…

yes Knit…but 1% is what shows up in the blood..my last test it was 2%..this is because I AM getting 800+mg a day. I stopped arguing with the techs that I was fine per THEIR interpretation of the regular serum test. the warning given about Mg for kidney is that poor dialysis patients are given a 3000mg bolus of Mg in…

HORRAY..dropped 2.2 more today… I am allowing 1700 calories ( vs 1400 that world the first 5 months) and am sticking to a modified egg diet..adding veggies, HWC, fruit slowly. the funny thing was I was already doing --sort of--( I am mostly plant based on a kidney protective diet) an egg diet before..one HB egg at noon,…

I think AF was $8. pound at Safeway,,in the bins, it's marked as Bobs red mill Adding coconut flour to recipes I have found gives a dense, wet, not tasty result. tried to add it to a cauliflower pizza crust recipe, and it was a real fail..didn't bake dry enough. will try again, it absorbs all fluids instantly, so adding…

It was really eye opening to see this woman who lost 240 reveal how very difficult it was..but her back pain and the limits if drove her to was her motivator. she had tears in her eyes describing being able to walk and do things with her children. we think LCHF is the salvation..and it is, for many, but as Baconslave has…

My experiences walking daily for the last 15 years is that all sorts of people are around. some have no skills, some only want to have human contact. My problem is I don't leash my 16 yr old dog..go to a paved walk on the bay, and have had horrible people complain "leash your dog lady"..when she is hobbling along beside…

I am VERY thankful Baconslave shared her story..we are all so jacked up on how successful LCHF can be that when there IS a snag we blame ourselves. Just taking a beat..breath..and keep trying, not stressing, reduce tha Cortisol..and continue. as others have said there is no better alternative….

I haven't regularly been supplementIng mag and pot since I'm not doing leto. g Gee... didnt the pot help? oh, you mean potassium?..er..ok..pot is more fun. seriously people will tell you just any magnesium won't do the trick..and the dose may be too low, not filtered enough in the intestines to do any good, and a waste of…

Yes, Mr. Goat…and the weirdo looks i get when I try to explain why so much fruit can affect some of us…so disbelieving. No oranges, no bananas??? Surely my... [insert name of dessert here]... can't hurt? As an MD it must have driven his logical mind nuts! ( even reading the Egg Fast group blog on FB, the moderator keeps…

Krisafb- Personally I do best with high fat,moderate protein & low carbs. Yes, me too.. it was my mistake to assume that "Blue" for me is the same a "Blue" for them hahaahah. they come off like a cult.

Little robot-- thanks… while there is an egg diet it incudes veggies, meats etc. this is a true fast but loaded with fats. the egg fast is pure in its sticking to just 3 foods. period. and works well as an elimination diet..after a few days doing this you can see how much of whatever foods you were consuming..and take a…

The FB Ketogenic dieters have a VERY strict interpretation..and are not open to even using terms "incorrectly" on their site. Ive posted abut my run in due to MY understanding that ketogentic nutrition is NOT high protein..but with these people it IS..and they use grams only, as in 110 gr protein to 65 fat, low carb is the…

Greenautum…an article I posted recently by Kresser shows we on LCHF diet have a HIGHER BG than others on SAD..so yours is going to be a little bit higher and you have to accept that while in LCHF I have the same issue with higher than normal FBG…but my MD has me only looking at post meal reading ..and those are normal…

Looks like you are really asking to have a "Dutch Uncle" talk..and be told to straighten up. Being tough on oneself may be the option…REALLY look at what was consumed. a recent article by body recomposition.com revealed many women ( especially) who were on 1200 calories a day ( not just LC/all diets) were having 'quiet'…

Crazy Ketogenic group on FB..I accidently saw this closed group and was torn to shreds on day one, hour 1 because I did not realize they are promoting HIGH PROTEIN, lower fat…and are rabid about it. Claiming that no added fat is needed, their fearless leader has them consuming almost double the protein to fat ratio .and I…

Magnesium was a real lifesaver for me…I take a liquid Mg, get 800mg or more a day..and use transdermal Mg oil too…the change was almost immediate…as Mg feeds 300+ body systems, including energy and sugar balancing. Like you I can barely walk some days, and the blessing of LC is I can do what limited exercise I can, and not…

blo0d tests will reveal anyone is normal..even if they are way low. ( sure enough the VA lab tested me when i WAS low, and said normal. this is because Mg does NOT reside in the blood..it stays in the bones and is released as needed…only 1% is found circulating in blood… there are special tests, called Magnesium RBC...and…

The closed group of FB ketogenic dieters bit my head off today.. first visit and they are ruthless. i really MISUNDERSTOOD they are TRULY HIGH PROTEIN…no allowance for eating higher fat, in fact protein is DOUBLE fats in their view.. ( from what I gathered while ducking missiles) so it's not the group for me as too much…

well everyone is welcome to their opinion I guess.. but I never would comment on what works for someone, why bother with unwelcome negativity? Adhere in your own way..this is a support group, and considering Jimmy Moore and other experienced LCers have excellent success with a restricted change of pace I am down 5 pounds…

"Who decided to make cereal grains a whole food group anyway?" The US GOV did, with the help of bad/UNTESTED science back in the 1970s…a whole NATION was told to eat grains, support the agribiz industry..and the "eat meats and fewer carbs" diets went out the window. Many women >50 know how bad decades of low fat dieting…

PS found out I am anemic NOT due to LC or lower protein!!!…but because of other health issues, I have one kidney ( after losing one to cancer), it is in bad shape too, so it is not managing some things well…I will be starting Ferro oxide/ iron pills…which I am happy to do…I have been so weak and sluggish…. anemia is no fun…
