180+ minutes a day!!! Dude! I can't imagine wow! I'm working on getting my butt out there for 30 minutes every other day. Glad you're feeling back on track! what a great feeling.

Welcome @leni1us ! I personal have not had any issue. In fact it solved all of my issues. There is an amazing set of information in the announcements at the top that the mods have compiled over the years. Below I've copied the section from there that has links to discussions here on cholestorol. If no one at the moment has…

https://ketogenicwoman.com/category/recipes/ has several recipes and she uses this ninja thingy. She really likes it. She also has a YouTube channel of the same name. Very down to earth always trying to make things affordable and even though her name is ketogenic she cycles through several different ways of eating so seems…

Hey hey! We're almost halfway through September!! How is everyone doing?? @Megan_smartiepants1970 @cosmiccurves @taylok23 @tishsmith101 @swimmom_1 @gerripo @baconslave Did I miss anyone? I've been getting my runs in. I want to get a shirt made that says "look like walking feels like running" lol! My last run was one where…

@cosmiccurves How are things going? Did you find some ideas for lunches and snacks? Are you both still keeners or do you need some pep talk? We're all routin' for you!!

@gerripo how is your SSS going?

Good job at the impromptu wedding! Those kinds of unplanned events can quickly derail things!! Today is Sunday. How did weigh-in go?

@tishsmith101 Whoa! amazing! It literally tired me out just thinking of all that! I feel like an elite cross fitter after completing my 3km walk/jog!! (though I don't look like it to be sure) Man! You'll feel so amazing after (and probably during) completing this! At least I hope that's how it goes :wink: Keep us posted! -…

@stacybw1 - baconslave makes a good point. Unless you're using an accurate measure that is saying you "aren't" in ketosis.... perhaps you are in light ketosis and don't know it. That is enough to lose but like most good things, it takes time. In my case I only every used keto strips as a tool. I simply used it for…

Hey there, my feeling is TLDR they don't REALLY help. They may show you are excreting ketones but that's because you ADDED ketones. Not necessarily because you're MAKING ketones. Going into ketosis is a process. Longer version. I won't go through all the details of going into ketosis as I'm sure you've probably read a lot…

I'm baaa-aaack. Djya miss me? lol. Prolly not. I've been gone since like 2017!!! So what better time to get my poop in a group right? @baconslave soooo glad to see you're still here. OG Baconslave in da house!! Holy cow dudes it's been a long ride. So... my sister convinced me to start Noom. Finally admitting my anxiety is…

Dude! That is still intermittent fasting. Good on you! I've been away from all forms of "diet" for way too long and 12 hours seems like a mountain right now so give yourself credit. :smile:

@radiii Thank you for sharing that site too! I will check it out. I've gone back in and looked at the values not was attributing to the food I entered and the first comment or was bang on! What a mess! So I think I fixed that. But yes I think the protein feels low. @2t9nty Thank you for sharing those numbers. Looks like…

Whoa! Thank you! I just knew SOMETHING was off. But now with changing the calories for the pork chop and oil numbers.... holy cow that puts at almost no food at all! I'm going to go back and really look at the values attributed to the foods that are input. Can't just trust the app to get it right. Likely some "user error"…

I really don't like the baconettes brand from Lays (I think). In canada you find those most often at the grocery stores. But Loblaws carries the chicarone style ones sometimes if you have an "asian" section. I'm in Ottawa and we now have a T&T which is basically a big Asian Loblaws. That's where I (edit: used to) get my…

@nataliejo We did it! Thank you! It's great! WEll I think it's great. The Beast wasn't impressed. I love it. We found we needed 8 hours. But i think it's cause they were a bit thick. At 6 hours they just kinda looked like cooked hamburger. At 8 they looked kinda dried out. I used just chili powder and cayenne! I LOVE this!…

@ShanBanKrup I'm sure you realize this but... using the "only vinegar" method will extend the life of them, but is not the same as "preserving" them. Meaning, as long as they're kept in the fridge and cold, we find we lose track of how old they are. Though it's never more than a few months. Perserving with the…

@ShanBanKrup we just throw ours in vinegar. We use balsamic vinegar though. We find the plain white is too lip puckering but we LOVE them in the balsamic. I don't remember the exact reason or science but I'm sure balsamic must have more carbs/sugar somehow but for the few we eat (and I am affected by even <20g/day) we…

lol @nataliejo76 yes, I did google it. And found all kinds of methods and recipes. That's why I wanted to see if someone here had already done it. Was this the first time you've made it? Or just the first time you've made it with this particular recipe? I've seen recipes that say to dry for 6-8 hours. Some just say 6 some…

Thank you everyone. These were my feelings as well. I'm just a little disappointed in this person as they have SO many, literally, SOOOO many viewers I hate when misinformation is unknowingly passed around about something that, when done well, has helped so many people. But this discussion makes me a bit more confident…

Wow! @lodro you are my high fat hero! Ching gow that's awesome! Wishiing you all the best in September. Do let us know!

@dsydorko I can certainly appreciate how those symptoms are concerning. As for the bathroom issues.... on their own it is not uncommon for them to last into the two week range. Depends on your body and how it adjusts. Adding to that the magnesium, if I miss mine for 3 or 4 days then I have to start back with one pill and…

That is awesome! 17 days! You're almost at a habit (as they say... 21 days) Isn't that the most awesome feeling? To know you're hungry but it's okay? No other side effects, just your tummy saying "hey, we could use some food down here. Whenever you can get to it though, no biggy". Absolutely liberating! Yay! And in regards…

Way to go @Kirstie155 I sure know that feeling. I am a lurker extroardinaire here but was converted to ZC from the first meatless may challenge last year(?) or two years ago now. The first year I would voluntarily jump off the wagon at each holiday eating occasion. I made it most of last year with only minor detours and a…

@KnitOrMiss Thank you for replying. I can't believe it was the only one. Usually people love to share their recipes. :) in any case, no it is not ghetto one but I love the post anyway. Firstly because that is how I made my mayo (technique) despite people saying your egg had to be room temp and drizzle in oil over an…

Haven't been on MFP in eons and come back to this. It was @FIT_Goat 's Meativore May challenge that CHANGED. MY. LIFE!! And I've been pretty much zero carb every since and as many cannot tell you the change. Whoa Nelly! I feel off a few times over the year and took about 3 weeks each time to get back on but now I see y'all…

haha! Love it! Beef on! We need to make up a t-shirt: Keep Calm and Beef On!

You say you're under 20 carbs... are they all coming from real food? Some artificial sweetners will cause... not solid stools.... Some can tollerate it others are sensitive. If I eat ANY I'm good for about 4 hours... then have about 12 hours of OMG where's the toilet!! So... don't know if THAT is an issue. But yeah it can…

Medium Chain Triglycerides. A whole other story! lol. Basically a liquid fat often derived from coconut oil. Some people swear by it. I'm sure if you started a new thread with that exact phrasing as a title, people would LOVE to tell you all about it and their experiences :) I don't use it so thus ends my experience &…

Hi OP! Ok, I'm going to be the bad, unpopular person here and say Lay off the dairy. Why? Because you LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. To me that is a signal of a trigger food that is not doing well for your body. I believe if our body is working optimally we will obviously have cravings but they're different. (Difficult to explain).…
