There's is quite a lot of work on lchf woe and gut microbia. The focus has been on a reduction of carbs (especially resistant) as prebiotics and the resulting effect on gut microbia. It's a hard situation to call as no-one is exactly sure what should be in our gut, and what shouldn't on an individual level. That's what it…

Doh post got cut off. I was saying I have a sad face reading these posts, I love avocado but my stomach doesn't, maybe I wasn't designed to eat LCHF!

@Sunny_Bunny_ I was in mourning for weeks when I realised I could only drink 1 cup of caffeinated coffee a day and sleep! Nespresso decaf lungo intense and I are friends now - just about

From a physiological point of view caffeine triggers cortisol release. Cortisol can both encourage and reduce fat burning for fuel: acute release encourages, chronic release stalls. It's a very individual thing. In my professional life, I encourage patients to cut caffeine if weight loss stalls despite strict adherence to…

@baconslave just a thought, a traditional remedy for sore, red, dry eyes and conjunctivitis is chamomile tea compresses. Make a mug of tea with 2 teabags, cover the mug whilst it's steeping and cooling. When cold, take the tea bags out and place them on your closed eyes for 10 mins. Refrigerate the rest of the tea. 3-4…

Happy LCHF anniversary @Kitnthecat

@wesheets my comment was only an idea as I wasn't sure what your carb level was. You've done the most important thing and that is work out what is good for you. Enjoy your rib eye!

@dietbepsi yay for judgement jeans, that's what I call mine, so much more accurate than scales! Keto sticks and all the other urine testing sticks are notoriously unreliable. They are unstable, have quite a large tolerance built in and are only a snapshot of what's going on in your urinary system rather than what your body…

@wabmester I know, medicine is a sad state of affairs! Unfortunately money speaks over patients health and the regulating bodies / governments would rather risk people's health than loose money. Most of the great minds in history have be put down and run out of town until after their death. Then they may get the…

Occasionally women especially 40 plus, with diagnosed metabolic imbalances e.g. Hypothyroidism do better on higher net carbs: approx 30g - 50g per day. The reason is not know as yet, although it's potentially the way all the hormone axis interact in the body. With any woe, it can take the body some time to adjust and do…

@Sabine_Stroehm thank you

I've been following it from the beginning. It is a farce. Today they finished early, as the panel are trying to prevent him from calling expert witnesses when the HPCSA have had all they want. There is suggestion that he was set up by the complainant, the evidence relating to this is compelling. This is a very sad time for…

Hi @SlimSonic, sorry to hear you're having a bad time. I'm not on HRT, however I work almost exclusively with women with health issues related to menopause. I can only speak for what happens in UK. Most doctors would want a patient to stay on a particular prescription of HRT for 3 months to make sure that they gave it…

@Kitnthecat thank you, great to be here! So much misleading info out there and yes it's about finding out what works for you rather than doing 'what they say you should'.

Carbs promote sleep, for some keto can be hyper stimulating and contribute to insomnia.

Good evening/morning/afternoon ladies, fabulous thread! Though I'd introduce myself, I'm Lisa, professionally a medical herbalist working primarily with peri and post menopausal women. Well in practice most of my workload is about supporting women on LCHF, herbs take a second place and deciphering advice given by the NHS.…

Hi Q_Is_Poison it's great you've found a way of eating that suits you, after all that's what it's all about. No matter what each individual WOE plan states, it's about refining it to suit the individual so they stick to it. As for the spread, after looking at the ingredients, it's not something I'd eat or recommend. It's a…

^^^ It's the most accurate app out there. It's well worth the money, I recommend it to all my patients on FODMAP.
