A few years back I started triathlon training. Did a few but then life happened. We had the most down to earth coach who gave me the most useful info on this subject. He basically said with all his research (and he works with Olympic athletes), it's often a matter of what you have trained your body to do. This was way…

Never mind... after much frustration it has mysteriously begun working again. :)

You didn't waste anyone's time!! That's what we're here for! Everyone is routing for your success and wishes you the best. But with everyone's combined experience, as well as the written info you can find in the launch pad, it is difficult to do low carb successfully without increased fat. There's tons of info in the…

So true! I wish I had pictures I could show you. When I started this WOE the Beast didn't eat any fat (well, as litlle as possible). Period. He never had his whole life. He seriously would spend 45mintues cutting all visible fat from our chicken legs before he cooked them!! He had also been involved in martial arts and…

Hmmm.... I'm not suggesting that everyone go on a binge and then jump right back up like nothing happened. I went to a wedding in August and it was supposed to be 1 day of eating what they served (I was at the head table) and that turned into 3 weeks of trying to get back on the wagon every day. So, I"m not saying I'm…

@LuizH what did you decide about the fat fast? I'm curious. I'm going back into ketosis after a lovely foray into Halloween with my partner. I gained 9lbs but am also expecting most of that to come off in the first few days. But I haven't lost for about 3 months and really couldn't find that keto sweet spot. So I'm…

Not to hijack this post, but this totally answered the question I was going to post today. I was looking for alternate ways to get enough sodium. I struggle with that and some days just cannot stomach yet another cup of soup broth. In like Knitormiss's suggestion of just taking a pinch like medicine and also to add it to…

uggh. I'm so glad this was posted. I read this thread and thought, whew, I'm glad no body I know will fall for this. then I went over to facebook and low and behold the first post I see is someone posting about the "bad news". Gah!!!! Let the ranting begin! (not here though)

bahahaha! Yes. Yes it would be. :smiley:

Someone wise once told me: If you want something better than you have, You have to treat what you have better. You have to value what you have before life will give you more. That stuck with me. I implement that with all kinds of things including my body (speaking of houses). If I want this body to be better, I have to…

Hey LisaAnn! I'm just (finally) getting to check back here! I hope things are still going well and congrats on another 2lbs! I wanted to mention, that I also found non - sweetened things... ummm... yucky? at first but after a while, I now find more often that things are TOO sweet. So I do believe your palate will adjust if…

BAck to the OP's question... Yeah, I agree. It's difficult to keep up with sodium on keto I find and I find also that my own requirements are even higher than mfp suggests. I am amazed at how much I actually needs. Makes the Beast nervous when he sees how much of it I eat. I based my requirements on symptoms or lack…

I don't use them anymore but psyllium husks are super cheap and all fiber. Taste like... you know what, but it's cheap fiber.

@wabmester Interesting example. lol! Makes sense to me. All I know is I'm with thedarkwombat! I've been on two planned "eat all the things" weekends in the last year since doing zero carb and each time I'm amazing at how quickly I am hungry, how much more and more often I have to eat and how HANGRY I get. When I first…

I believe (and I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong) That if the product contains less than 1g of the actual sugar per serving, they can say it is zero grams. At least that was the last thing I heard in Canada, so it's likely the same sort of idea there. So, you do also have to look at what they consider a serving.…

Oh yeah! Who's awesome? Way to go you! Very happy for you! Thanks for posting. Encourages me and inspires me to keep going!

OH and when I'm REALLY hungry and REALLY don't want to cook, I just load up my bullet proof coffee or tea with lots of fat and 2-3 eggs. Poof. Hunger gone, belly full, calories and energy up. (yes indeed, I would be the first in line if they invented that pill you could take in the morning and you would never have to eat…

My grab and go are sausages. May sound disgusting, but for me they're portable, I cook a bunch and keep them in the fridgte and just grab them when I'm hungry and walk around the house eating it as I go. I don't reheat most things either. Bacon as well just cold out of the fridge, or crumbled on my salad. Pretty boring but…

High Five to Batlady!!! man My story is pretty much the same and I still remember the happy dance (You are happy dancing aren't you?) --Batlady49 burned 300 calories happy dancing and entered Onederland. :wink: A loss is a loss, absolutely counts in my books. Soak it up!! And I think your plan to not weigh for a while is…

Whoa! Exactly. In the past I would alos (somehow) self sabotage once I started noticing a big drop. And when people would compliment me, I never felt encouraged, I felt as though they were saying "it's about time! NOW you're FINALLY acceptable!" I didn't hear compliments, I heard that every time I would gain weight, I…

Thanks for that. There were a few gems in there that I will hang onto as well. I like that concept.

I had a stall for about 6 weeks and during that time I actually noticed that I was feeling a bit apprehensive about my weight loss. I was at a point where I was feeling a shift from being "fat" to skinny. My entire being was feeling different and I was getting nervous about it. So, I did a little thinking about it, a bit…

huh! Good to know. I was looking for something different to actually cook for dinner tonight. I'll try it too! Always good to have recommendations.

Hey LisaAnne, Hope cravings are calming down. They're the worst aren't they? I just wanted to mention that there are also several posts on here where people report struggling with cravings to no avail until they just cut out all artificial sweetener (AS) completely. Everyone is different and you (of course) are going to…

lol... this made me laugh, not in a mean way, and I'm definitely not suggesting this is what you think... But it made me think of me and how many times I said that. Now.... I just admit, I don't really WANT to exercise. I want the benefits... but I don't REALLY want to exercise. So my turn. Weight: 185lbs Carbs: I try to…

DAN! I'm going to see my friend on Saturday who is an amazing chef and one of the things he makes is ice cream (with an ice cream maker). He's making me dinner on Saturday. I'm going to ask him if he can try something like this. As far as I know, his ice cream is cooked first and contains egg. Then he uses a kitchen aid…

@baconslave yes, I agree the carbs would me more manageable if they were reduced and you might still get that pumpkin taste too.... but then if I use 1 TBSP pumpkin... what do I do with the rest of the can? I suppose if you really like the drink you could divide it up into 1TBSP little portions (icecube tray) and freeze…

While I can certainly understand people not wanting the weird things that are in bouillon cubes.... They're kind of my life line at times. Easy to find and use and transport and store... I find I optimally have to drink it MINIMUM once a week now but ideally every couple of days or so. Every now and then I get these weird…

This is great! I'm going to try this but without the cashew milk. I'm going to use coffee or tea. More like a latee I guess. I find with my BPC (or tea) that if I add coconut oil AND butter it's really creamy anyway... so I can just add the spices n pumpkin too and see how it goes. EDIT: whoa! except there are 10g carbs in…

Yeah, us neither. Mace is actually made from grinding the outside sheath of the nutmeg anyway... so yes... they're technically different spices but you can just add more nutmeg without detrimental effects :wink:
