I used to coat with butter, Splenda, and cinnamon. They were amazing right before TOM when my appetite seems insatiable. I don't eat pork anymore, but I sure do miss the flavor!

Here's an article which argues that the source of the carb doesn't matter if you are healthy, but does if you are not. http://www.simplyshredded.com/the-science-of-nutrition-is-a-carb-a-carb.html

I think it's great! I don't have much time to post, but I do have time to press a button to let someone know I like what they said or that I think it's awesome!

Welcome! I teach 9th grade ELA. I've been lchf for a couple of months now. It does help with the stress although i really do need to pack a snack to cope with the after-school grading. I often pack a pre-weighed serving of lightly salted peanuts (we're not quite a peanut free school) for sodium, crunch, fat and protein. I…

I have a FitBit Charge HR now, I used to have a Flex. I <3 love it. I don't use it for calories burned. I don't use it for flights climbed. I use it for HR, sleep tracking, and steps. I also have an Aria scale with syncs with FitBit and MFP (it's made by FitBit). It also reads body fat %. I love the challenges; they really…

I eat out a lot. I don't drink at home but when I'm out, I drink wine or vodka and club soda. Meals are pretty easy because I get a cheeseburger no bun extra lettuce hold the fries. Italian place I'll have chicken par with a side of veggies not pasta (I allow myself the minimal breading). I input my meals before going out…

Thank you all for the replies! Now I've read about a study (albeit with rats) that shows sucralose kills good gut bacteria leading to insulin issues. Sigh. I love my coffee with 2 Splenda and HWC. I find Stevia is too bitter. So I'm going back to black. I'll try reintroducing HWC without sweetener after awhile.

@olivebeanhealthy I love that sticker idea! Fun visual!

I march in place while brushing my teeth I use the upstairs bathroom when I'm downstairs I walk around my classroom a lot while teaching I use my gazelle glider

Aw! Hello, Squirrel!

I cope by making it about choice. It's kind of like what @erinseattle said about DECISION. It's really about how I approach things. I don't want to be all about "can't have this" or "I guess I messed up again". I want to be in control of what I eat and know I'm making the choice. "I want 2 glasses of Pinot noir and I will…

There's a discussion about itching skin in another post started by @flower1964 I think it's called itching. Someone mentioned a podcast which talked about itchy skin and keto

Thanks, Mods!

You look AMAZING!!! Happy 1st ketoversary and many more! Ps I'm going to start a new thread about Sucrolose/Splenda because I'm interested in find out out how some of you found out it was a problem.

Ha!

@PaleoInScotland Next time the men start that up, change the topic to penis size. Anything random like you read in an article that males who ate large amounts of (blank) as children suffer from low self-esteem due to an arrested growth and development in genitalia, particularly the penis.

Awesome!!

Me too! Sending requests!!

I have the same arms. I look forward to them being slimmer.

I made and had my first coffee with 2tbs (grass fed, unsalted, local) butter. I used an immersion blender to emulsify it. It was interesting And certainly not terrible. Other than the coffee flavor, it tasted nothing like a latte. I look forward to going back to HWC and Splenda tomorrow. I think I missed the one bit of…

I hope you feel better soon! It's a good question. When I had a bug a drank diet ginger ale and went off plan with a pumpernickel bagel. I'd prefer not to do that next time.

Lol I'm with you on that, Lou.

Every time I start tracking I feel the same way and it feels like a waste of time. Then I discovered what I call the batch entering process (BEP). In the morning when I have my coffee, I enter in what I'm having for lunch and (if I know) what I'm having for dinner. When I weigh stuff, I write the totals down on one of…

Thanks for sharing!! These are so motivational!
