My maternal grandmother: High in fat foods, sweet tea, typical fixin's of the Southern US. - Yeah, okay. I could do this. But she ended up with severe osteoporosis and curvature of the spine that nearly crippled her. Also, she died of heart disease, so maybe not. My maternal grandfather: Lots of liquor, steaks, and…

Yikes! Yep - that's what I'm nervous about. My stomach has felt sort of "detached" from my core muscles too, so that makes me a little extra scared to just jump in and try too much right now. (That's a weird way to describe it, but it's the best word I can think of - it's an odd, odd feeling.)
-
Thanks, all! *Sigh* It looks like at least a month is the norm before I can start slipping back into it. It's not unexpected, but I'm just getting twitchy.

A lot of people have made a lot of money off "bad information." That's why it lingers. They sell it and stupid and/or desperate consumers buy it.
-
Good to know. I made a bit of a misstep with a grocery load just last night thinking I was more healed up than I really am. Ended up uncomfortable, for sure. Thanks!
-
I do have to wonder what they were thinking when they (obviously) stole that pic. The dates on the bottom make it obvious the transformation took more than a year... and yet, they imply the very short term detoxes they're selling are to credit for it. It's so self-contradictory.
-
I've heard lots of people say that, but I have yet to come across a meal that is "killer." A little high? Sure, but not that bad. Looking back on a few days, my HC/LC meals average 450-600 mgs of salt. Multiplied by four meals (what the OP is planning on eating), and yeah, that's a little over the daily recommended…

I eat Healthy Choices/Lean Cuisines every day for lunch. Today, I had a baked chicken HC. The taste wasn't bad, but just for note - I am still satisfactorily full four hours later. On the other hand, I had a Honey Balsamic HC steamer the other day. I actually preferred that one for taste, but I ended up hungry fairly…

Cookies and Cream ice cream sandwiches - 150 calories, almost daily, unless I'm in a rare mood for something else sweet. Mini Brownie Concrete frozen custard from Ted Drewes - 400 calories (by estimation), as a rarer treat.

Black beans are a good substitute for refried, if they're available (although I love me some refried beans). Seconding the suggestions to go without a tortilla, as you'd be consuming up to 300 extra calories with each one (more if they fry them first). Some green sauce is made with fatty pork, which is great for protein…
-
Yeah, that wouldn't be a bad deal. But if a company wants to use it a sales gimmick, that's not necessarily wrong (as long as it's 100% true). I come from a neighborhood with a lot of Orthodox Jewish people. In my local store, you'll see "Kosher!" often printed on items in big, bold-face font, whereas at other stores, it'd…

Oh, I've met some people who have gluten sensitivities that are so bad, they're able to detect the slightest trace. They'd probably welcome a "gluten free" label on everything that was legitimately free of all traces, even if it was an obvious food. I have a friend who once had a fairly violent reaction because she…

IMO, they were last year. This year, they've added raisins to them for some unknown reason. I'm not sure if that's all they've done, but they just don't taste as good.

You're 5'1, 64kg, female, 35 years old. I'm assuming you have a mostly sedentary job**, as that is the modern norm. According to this site: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ Your TDEE is 1529 To lose .6 lbs per week (probably your max since you're not significantly overweight), you need to eat 1223…

I know Fibro can really suck (to put it mildly), and you should definitely consult your doctor about any planned physical activity, as strangers on the Internet can't possibly know your entire medical history. That being said, mild to moderate exercise can be very good for people with Fibro. It may not feel like it at the…

Calorie creep happens - but I'm not content with the idea of logging every day for the rest of my life, so I work in intervals of logging and not logging, just to keep my perspective in order. (Usually, I go back to regular recording when I notice the scale stalling.) I lost my first 50 lbs or so without logging, so I know…
-
Just... wow... Hope they're prepared for the class action suit.
-
Ah - needed the reframe. I missed what he was saying.
-
Okay, I'm making a special trip to TJ's just because of this pumpkin mochi post - so if that's not actually a thing, so help me, I will shake my fist disapprovingly at my monitor.

You're going to have to open your diary or provide more details about your macros and intake for the keto experts to give you real information. From my understanding, hunger during keto can be a sign you need more fats. Or it could mean that you aren't actually in ketosis.
-
You sound like you're on the right track. Congrats on the loss so far! Two pounds is doable for someone with 100 lbs to lose. You can always re-evaluate your hunger level and consider setting the goal lower or higher, but I remember averaging 2 lbs a week quite easily when I had that much to lose.
-
You definitely sound overwhelmed. Maybe take it a step at a time. Real success comes in the long term anyway, so if you're not ready to jump in with both feet, start by making manageable changes and add more in slowly. May I make a recommendation for one of the first steps? Cut the alcohol down or out. It hides soooo many…

That's such a neat little trick. I'm ashamed that it took me so long to learn it. Before, I'd weigh the spoon without the PB, then tar it out and weigh it with the PB.... and of course, I'd have PB all over my scale by the time I was done. Really, I felt kind of dumb when that eureka moment happened and I figured it out.
-
I do wonder why she went with a "diet" lemonade. I like diet DP, but I'd go full sugar if I was on death row. Even if I was a diabetic... (Or a liter of vodka)
-
Yep. PB's tricky because it does tow the line between liquid and solid. However, since it's so calorie-dense, it's worth weighing it to be sure. Buy a cheap scale and try weighing for just a day or two. Since your diet is relatively static, you'd probably only need a sampling of a few days to see if measurement accuracy is…
-
You're quick adding a lot of random calories. Where are those coming from? Are you absolutely certain that's how much you've taken in? They've done studies - most people underestimate what they're eating if they guestimate by sight (even dietitians were tested on this idea - and they failed to quantify their food portions…
-
Huhwhatnow? I'm thinking the rest of your post disappeared? I've seen a couple of replies today that were 'eaten', but this would be the first OP that was sucked into the netherverse.
-
I've seen pics of the "before and after" for Kardashian. The only exercise that will get you that kind of butt is the walking you get going into an expensive plastic surgeon's office. I agree. The before and after pics of women who have done body recomp are usually impressive and amazing. BUT posting two different butt…

I highly doubt someone who pumps gullible people full of energy drinks and unregulated supplements (that have been found to be laxatives) for the purposes of personal profit is out to "help people get healthy."
