Never occurred to me to try making homemade sour cream. Had to google it :| and was surprised to see how easy it is. Cant wait to give it a try. Thanks for the idea @Phrick. found this...easy peasy http://food-hacks.wonderhowto.com/how-to/make-easy-homemade-buttermilk-sour-cream-creme-fraiche-0151834/

Congrats! So happy for you.

Amazing! woot woot

thank you @ supergal3

@jassnip , @Karlottap , @caromarie1 Thank you so much for your kind words. @Phrick, thanks for the MyNetDiary tip.

Cool! thanks so much for the additional info - once again, taught me something. thanks!

@Gallowmere1984 - I always learn something when you post. Can you elaborate a bit regarding "... and avoid cardio like the plague"? Does this mean do heavy lifting or cardio, but not both on the same day? Or best to stick to heavy lifting only and no cardio? thanks!

thanks for the good news/sanity check, @Sunny_Bunny_ Definitely not experiencing any of those symptoms. The chart label 'starvation ketosis' made me nervous .......sounds like the grim reaper is on your doorstep :D

HA! no archive bullying, here to tell you the truth, I dont know/ havent' found a definitive answer to that question. Newbie homemade sauerkrauter. :o I found out here that once you put it in the fridge, fermentation stops. It sounds like you need to leave it out for at least a week to ferment the sugars.…

Wow! I loved reading your post. Your journey and results are inspirational. Hope you will post an update at some point.

@SuperCarLori and @kpk54, my pleasure. Hope you get great results with this process :) My first batch was a 'live n learn', as well. I added too much salt the 1st time and I popped it in the fridge after only 4 days, so I didnt give it enough time to really ferment (sugar was not burnt-off :'( ) Next batch was perfect. I…

I recently decided to try making homemade sauerkraut. I also learned a lot of 'do's n dont's', here: http://www.foodrenegade.com/3-biggest-fermenting-mistakes-youre-already-making/ Personally, I like the Craig's Kitchen process. Easy-peasy with great results...yummy and I *luckily* have not had any issues with mold…

This made me laugh right out loud! Best 'mom story' of the summer :D

@silverfiend, what a remarkable health benefit on LC VHF. So happy to hear your niece is incident free.

Raw fish sushi. Just the thought of it makes me ill.

Thanks @RalfLott , right on I was confused on how to account for 50% energy from Body Fat. Once @redimock mentioned TDEE, the proverbial light bulb shone bright. I just popped over to http://www.ruled.me/keto-calculator/ and ran my numbers. For the last few weeks I have been doing daily IF, 'eating til full' and it looks…

Thanks @redimock! That makes perfect sense to me. You make a good point - I am not sure I will be satisfied on 1/3 the grams of fat, but hey, I am going to take a swing at it. I am hoping the results will give me the mental *yippee* to keep me on my Ketowagon. Thanks for responding :)

@Phrick Love the photos. I am so jealous. Any chance of you coming over and doing your magic on my closets ;)

Wow! Amazing! <3 <3 <3 happy dancing and wooping it up

Thanks for the tip. Substituting lamb for beef is a great idea - it's on m shopping list, now :-) Your Serbian Ayva sauce sounds so yummy

@ProCoffeeanator - not while pregnant, but otherwise the same experience. Ugly 6" incision and 7 days in hospital on a drip. This was many years ago, but I also had those sharp unexpected pains when doing anything strenuous (sometimes just twisting the wrong way would double me over) for a few years. The good news is...…

Could not agree with you more @Majcolorado. Those are Jawdropping visuals. Thanks for sharing @samanthaluangphixay & @Kirstie155

Wow - Wow - Wow That is fantastic!!! Happy dancing for you :)

woot!woot!woot! @RowdysLady - fantastic nsv :) *clapping loudly*

Thanks for sharing the butter bob video! Helpful :)

*snort* - you made me laugh right out loud. Would love to have seen that :D

Thanks for posting this, @CeliaSea. Right on ! :) I can't help myself and weigh every day - which of course drives me crazy cause cause I want so badly to see a loss. Scale is very, very slow to move south , but the inches are dropping so I try to stay focused on my changing body and feeling better than I have in years.…

This is a super, duper NSV! Congratulations :)

Oh, I can so relate to that knee pain when driving. I hadnt noticed until you mentioned it, but yup.....that's gone too.

Nice post @ inflammation! I was happy to read you have experienced improved singing voice due to reduced inflammation/phlegm. That is wonderful :) For me, the 2 expected improvements have been mental clarity and subsiding knee pain, resulting in my current ability to walk without a cane or leaning my entire weight on my…
