My 4yo son is watching some show on Nick Jr called Peppa Pig. The family of pigs ate dinner with another family of pigs. They were all oinking and noisily slurping spaghetti. The fathers then decided they needed seconds too. It was the stuff of nightmares. Later on in the next episode Daddy pig realizes he cant touch his…

Thanks everyone for the support! I actually tracked down a doctor who promotes LCHF for infertility and PCOS and emailed him. Hopefully I will hear back and I'll let you all know what he recommends. Alliwan Im so sorry for your loss, I miscarried as well in December at 10 weeks. I think from what Ive read and the advice…

Yes, I am always careful to check the carbs on the label of deli meat, they add sugar to almost all them! Its so annoying! That does sound really good, I do love salads but I dont like to have them every day. I like hot food better than cold food, especially in the winter!

This is just what I was thinking. I do make sure I have lots of variety in my meats, and I really enjoy them, but for some reason it became tedious for me. I enjoyed my hot dog for lunch so much more with that half a bun. It felt more like a meal then when I ate just the hotdog with a condiment. Also carrots are one of my…

I usually only count net carbs but the way I was eating even total was less than 10g. I was having my coffee w/cream for breakfast. Eggs and butter, or some bacon/deli meat and a piece of cheese for lunch. And for dinner I was usually just having a meat, maybe with some cheese. I didnt even bother with a veggie most the…

Im glad you're feeling a little better! I use the plain Centrum multivitamins since it has both magnesium and potassium in them (just a little though). Supplements tend to hurt my stomach a lot but the multivitamins dont for some reason. Plus I take it with my biggest meal.

My new favorite breakfast, Egg Pumpkin Pancakes 1/2 cup canned pumpkin 2 eggs 1/2 ts baking powder 1 ts cinnamon sweetener Mix together then cook like a pancake. They can be trickey to flip though. I add a couple tablespoons of sugar free syrup or whipped cream on top. Makes me 2 5-6 in pancakes. 190 calories. 11g carbs, 8…

I've had the same problems with my family, though thankfully not as bad. Ive always been the smallest person in my family. When I first realized I was going up clothing sizes even though I was no longer getting taller in high school, I started counting calories to lose weight. My dad cooked dinner every night though and…

Would this work with almond or coconut flour? I really hate flax :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Im for them in moderation. They are just junk food. I think they are ok once in a while if you really want one but you cant live off them. I grew up in a home where we had junk food every single day. I use to have chocolate milk every morning for my breakfast (since I was like 3, seriously!), now when I really want some I…

I cheated last night as well. I found a new flavor of Ben & Jerrys ice cream I had been wanting to try so I made a plan. I skipped dinner and split it with someone. It tasted amazing but was about 55g carbs. So I probably had 65g of carbs for that day, not keto but not awful. I was wondering if anyone knew how long it took…

I had braces, I know how bad it hurts. I had trouble sleeping the first few days. Tylenol can help the constant ache. You'll feel better and be able to eat better in about 2 weeks. I ate oatmeal for breakfast and soups or soft pasta for dinner/lunch but thats not so keto. Id say soups are still the best bet. A broccoli…

Thanks GrannyMayOz, I was able to resist temptation and feel better today :smile: I found working off my stress by cleaning while listening to music helped LOL

How about some bean-less chili with some cheese to sprinkle on top or some meatballs in a low carb sauce. http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2013/05/carolina-bbq-meatballs-low-carb-gluten-free.html I think I need to try making this myself, yummy :yum:

I think you could go have your sushi. Count the calories still and stay in your goal, try to have as few carbs as possible for the rest of your meals that day and maybe the next and you'll get right back on keto. (are you keto?) Also, you could see what other things are on the menu. They probably have some sort of…

I just got a large medical bill in the mail that I thought my insurance would cover. They didnt even cover half. I swear, you shell out all this money for coverage and when you need it they sure dont help much!!! Its making me stress and I really want some ice cream or something but I know I cant. :disappointed: I need a…

Eating gluten free does help him but diary doesnt seem to be an issue. He doesnt have much anyway. I havent heard of Remicade, we'll definately look into it. Ive heard of fecal transplant, its to introduce the good bacteria back in, I heard it works well. The biggst thing is the doctor doesnt seem to want to do anything…

Ive always checked the nutrition facts on the package when I eat something new, then find one in the database that matches that. A lot of the ones in the database are outdated, incomplete, or just wrong because anyone can add foods to the database. When I use the same things over again, its in my history and I know its the…

Wow thanks so much Healthymom_5 and JocelyneRage! They did a colonoscopy and biopsy but didnt find anything. Its not ulcerative colitis but could still be Crohn's and the VA just doesnt seem to want to check his small intestine. Avoiding gluten seemed to barely help. He just has flares where he is miserable for a week or…

Thanks so much for the advice! The doctor had him do a week of no sugar, week of no dairy, and a week of no gluten but he didnt notice any change. An exclusion diet sounds good, if only I can get him to do it. He doesnt like to even talk about it but I hate seeing him sick and not trying to help. Thanks for the great…

I have an incurable sweet tooth. Dannon has a low carb yogurt thats yummy, I have one everyday. And then if I stick to my keto all day, which isnt hard anymore at all, I have one of the Atkins desserts. They taste great and Im lucky that the sweetners dont bother me. I've switched to a liquid sucralose for tea because…

http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/94/2/479.short Low to moderate sugar-sweetened beverage consumption impairs glucose and lipid metabolism and promotes inflammation in healthy young men This was interesting because these men were healthy, not obese, and just 3 weeks having SSBs increased their fasting glucose and bad…

http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/33/11/2477.short Sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) and diabetes RESULTS Based on data from these studies, including 310,819 participants and 15,043 cases of type 2 diabetes, individuals in the highest quantile of SSB intake (most often 1–2 servings/day) had a 26% greater risk of…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxG3YiBMMZE&index=31&list=PLHQkEO6YtgDn8sPw3U0c5OaSAdPN0GJWA at about 3:30 there is a part about a study that links increased sugar to heart disease

Sorry I knew he was a professor, Ive watched all his videos, I meant he worked with the AHA to help make the new sugar guidelines. :smiley: There is a lot of evidence that when a country's sugar consumption increased, so did their diabetes rates and obesity. Its hard to do a study. Its unethical to harm people's health in…

I dont think Dr. Lustig is for LCHF, he only ever argues no fructose. He believes whole grains are ok because glucose doesnt get stored in fat cells, its stored in the liver and the fiber in whole grains keeps blood sugar, and therefore insulin, from getting too high. His mission seems to be only removing fructose from…

I just hate how they all see LCHF as only a fad or extremely unhealthy. Media has ruined the general publics opinion about low carbing and misinformed them into thinking it will give us all heart disease and cancer. -_- They just wont even listen to us. Everything LCHF people say is utterly disregarded.

If it does kick you out of keto, as long as you stay on the diet, youll go right back on keto quickly. I like italian dressing on my chicken. Quick and easy plus its pure fat!

I know some of it is water weight but I also feel so much better. Ive always hated exercising but now I have so much energy I want to. I tried a lot of things, even vegan for a time but felt like it was always a struggle. I like eating like this, it works well for ME. I know it isnt for everyone. But it also doesnt mean Im…

Just what?! Ive dieted and exercised for years and couldnt get good results! If placebo worked I wouldnt still be 50lbs over weight!
