Bah hahahahahahahah!

Sweet! More evidence! Even before I knew about keto, I had a triathlon coach who really stressed the long slow runs. He said it would teach your body to switch more easily to using the fat rather than glycogen because you had waaaaaay more fat calories than sugar calories in you body. Made perfect sense to me, though I…

I keep hearing that... I used to get it from carb binges that lasted more than a few days. Since starting LCHF and more specifically since going ZC, I have it EVERY DAY! Gah! Going to see the doctor (again) because now it's complicating my asthma, so .... I'm going to see if she can do something.

Holy Crap are you kidding me? That's awesome! what pay off for the struggle you had at the beginning. Glad you saw it through the keto flu huh? Wow! I'm really happy for you! Makes me think now I should have taken some pictures. But in all seriousness, I think I didn't expect it to work so fast!!! fun!

Hi! I sent a request. I'm Bonnie Mechefske

Don that's so great to hear!! I'm glad you're back to running without keto holding you back. And theoretically it should be better because now your body can burn it's fat rather than the sugars that would have to be replaced so much like in the carb runners. I've never done anything longer than a half marathon but when I…

Wow! Cool. I know what you mean. The Beast used to make fun of me for sleeping with my mouth open until he asked me why. I told him "because I can't breath through my nose". It's like it's swollen inside even when there's no feeling of mucous. I can still feel it swollen inside (likely because yes, allergy season is hell…

lol I like "jiggly june", but alas, I think it would be better for everyone if we chose "just One June" :-P I won't be weighing until Sunday (as that's my official 14days) BUT I did my measurements today! Woot! Can I get a hell yeah!! So, remember, in two months at <15net I had lost nothing. Nadda. Zip. And I was pretty…

Agreed. Greatly, greatly, agreed. Good idea for me personally to have my blood tested to feel reassured, thank you. But part of that is people are going to come to me with studies that show it's not good for me, so I'd like to be at least armed with a few that can counter their arguments. :)

I'd be interested to see though, the pH level of a carb addicts blood versus a keto adapted person. Sugar causes the blood to become acidic as well, so I'm wondering..... does it make a big difference? Unless you're eating huge amounts of plants, won't it end up acidic anyway?

Yes, I find I'm sensitive to fats in certain forms. In a way I find it good because it forces me to balance things out. It's like a built in barometer with instant feedback when I've eaten too much fat. AND it's like that biofeedback training because the heartburn can last up to two days! AND in turn triggers my asthma and…

ha ha! yep. isn't it great!

Yes, I wish this thread for sure had a like button, or a way-to-go button! I like reading this thread. I find it really encouraging!! I have another NSV already! so, I ran for the first time about a week ago. Well. Yesterday First of all I got up at 6:30 on my own. Just wasn't tired. That's unheard of! Then I took the dog…

I hear you loud and clear. Although I do think this makes sense. I know that same situation where they search and search for something wrong with you, you KNOW there's something wrong with you. You're not making it up. Thankfully, we've both found low carb. Kinda pisses me off that I had to live almost 40 years in that…

Well, well, well. I have to say this has actually turned out to be a marvelous week for me. My 7 days ends today as I started late and I've even convinced my friend to go meativore for a try. Start 216.5 lbs End 209.5 lbs Down 7 pounds! I don't expect next week to be as much as I had carb binged for 3 days prior to the…

That's sooooo thoughtfull! :smiley: My partner really likes to eat out. My birthday is Tuesday so he took me out this weekend for dinner and our standby's when out are either steak house if you really want to spend. I order steak and he eats the sides. Or a buffet. Then I just have to locate that one meat dish that they…

We do the broth thing usually when we're sick. We put chicken broth, many crushed garlic cloves and an egg. we just call it garlic soup, but it's the same idea, if you whisk the egss in at the right temperature the broth turns milky instead of chunky and it's love. Except that I didn't know that's what was happening until…

Today. People. Is a glorious day. I feel I've been rewarded for all my efforts! Some of you may (or likely not) remember from some of my other posts that I've been really suffering with gERD and now with recently diagnosed asthma (which has been basically one on going attack since october last year but we've finally got it…

I thought I would just update in case anyone in the future randomly comes across this thread (not likely as they all get lost in the ether). So, the ACV was working a bit. Certainly gave me my sanity back for a while. Yesterday I broke down while at the pharmacy getting more ketostix and I bought a bottle of digestive…

I think I'm coming through the worst of it. Today is day 4 of meativore for me as I started late. I'll also be doing my check-ins late because the scale is not at my house, so can't check until Sunday. The first 3 days were hell by any standards. I'm now taking digestive enzyme pills for the reflux and it's going... ok. At…

Huh! Wow! Look at you go!

Ha! The bf was just telling me he thinks we should just get rid of our utensils and eat with our hands from now on. Makes him feel primal. Why not. He got rid of the furniture, we're switching all our footwear to barefoot shoes.... nobody visits us anyway. But just in case, I told him just to pretend we dont' have it. I…

This is one of the few I have of our guy. Lost my computer recently with all the pictures. :( He's a labradoodle rescue. Almost gave up on him but now he's 3 and we're in agility and my friends can't believe it's the same dog. He's on grain free kibble as well. He actually picked that out himself. As a pup it was the ONLY…

Well, I don't know. She seems pretty opinionated, that's for sure. I just read through her blog post titles. A lot of them seem pretentious. Like she's trying to NOT be accessible to the vast majority of the public. But I have to say the Bleach Diet and using peroxide in you GI tract? Definitely not mainstream, that's for…

@wabmester thanks very much, I will check it out. Any resource may offer insite to what "I" should do. @minties82 yes, i agree and may just have to not know what it is, but maybe I can find something to aid it if it continues long term. Befor LCHF it was ALL. THE. TIME. So having it come back but in a slightly different…

Ang, I'm having a similar thing. Actually I just made a post. It's not so much about sugar but just eating in general. All I can say is hang in there and it gets easier. I hope. They say it does. I think a few more days. I think I might go mad though!!
-
ground beef, butter, pork rinds, chicken, butter, bacon, butter, pork rinds, butter, lemon juice, pork rinds coffee and when I was not a meativore I'd also buy: kale, butter, sour cream, lettuce, mayo, butter, cheese, onions, butter, avocado, broccoli, coconut oil, radishes I like butter way more than bacon. Can you tell?

Thanks for this recommendation I will check this out too. I'm not sure this will help but... for what It's worth, I feel just like you. and when I let that get the best of me, which is often, I gain weight. Since meeting my partner I've gained 70lbs. Unfortunately he is NOT one of those guys who can appreciate a larger…
