No science to back up their claims. Toxicological studies on raspberry ketone are limited to acute and subchronic studies in rats. When the lowest recommended daily dose of raspberry ketone (100 mg) as a food supplement is consumed, it is 56 times the established threshold of toxicological concern .... Taking into account…

Occasionally going over your sodium isn't that big of a deal unless your doctor has told you so. From the American Heart Association : "The effects of salt and sodium on blood pressure tend to be greater in blacks, people over 50, and people with high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease. That’s about half the…

Often times when there is a post discussing a low carb lifestyle (Atkins, Keto, LCHF, etc), folks will come in and comment about how carbs aren't bad, you are stupid for avoiding carbs, its pointless, etc. Or the latest one I saw was someone telling the OP that the low carb diet they were on was actually a medical diet and…

keto'er/lchf'er. Always love new friends.

This. Dressing should be a light accompaniment, not a heavy sauce. I toss my lettuce with the dressing then add the other items to it, I use far less dressing that way. As others have said, premade dressings have more fillers. When you take fat our, they add sugars. For example, high fructose corn syrup has 50 calories in…

This is nonsense, please stop spreading bs like this. Keto is just a low carb high fat moderate protien diet. Similar to Atkins. You do not need a doctor to put you on it nor do you have to be an epileptic. Lots of people like this way of eating. You eat the way you want, OP can eat the way they want. Just don't spread…

I tried to make a hot chocolate protein with diy whipped cream and it became a gelatinous blob of doom :(

I eat them all the time. They can get watery. I lay them out on a paper towel, lightly salt them and place more paper towels on top. About 15 minutes later I replace the paper towels. I probably end up letting them sit for 30 minutes. Also helps that you have a thicker sauce. Otherwise everything comes out watery.

This is a whole bunch of denial. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY has any right to tell you what to do with your body. Not your husband, not your mother, not your doctor. Your body is YOURS. YOU make the decisions on what YOU do with it. Someone telling you its reasonable to gain 10 pounds so you look better to them is all sorts…

Had an office that had issues like this. I got a lunch bag that I could fit a freezer pack in. Kept my lunch at my desk and kept it cold.

Fat is 67% of my diet. 27% protein and 6% carbs. A Rude. Low carb or reducing carbs is absolutely sustainable. This is what I ate the last time I went out: Salad with grilled chicken, bacon, avocado, hard boiled egg, blue cheese, tomatoes and a vinaigrette. My diet is up to 67% fat. I am doing fantastic.

I think there should be some tighter policies on what is appropriate to talk about. It is a bit insane to me that a thread about oreo's is constantly on the front page. I get it, everything in moderation. But, seriously? Everyone wants to push "their" diet. I have seen people constantly argue back and forth being critical…

Count your calories and have a deficit. That is the only trick you need when loosing weight.

I always thought of it as a snack while waiting for my drink !

Keto focuses on hitting a protein goal each day. You keep your carbs low and eat fat to feel full. For example, these are my macros: 1,357 calories 20g carbs (6%) 93g protein (27%) 101g fat (67%) I eat under 20 carbs a day (almost all from veggies), aim to reach 93g of protein a day and I can have up to 101g for fat. The…

Are you specifically trying to eat low carb? Something like Keto focuses on eating protein. Keep carbs pretty low, under 50 grams usually. Then you eat fat as needed to feel full, within a caloric goal. Fat makes you feel full and satisfied. Cutting it out doesn't help weight loss. It hinders it.

Replacing fat with sugar is a bad idea. Your body needs fat, it doesn't need extra sugar. Fat helps you to feel full and satisfied.

I've made it in a food processor and this is what it looks like right before it separates. It tends to take 10-15 minutes in a food processor so 30 minutes by hand is probably not enough. The liquid that releases is buttermilk. Butter is fat. Buttermilk has minimal fat in it. So essentially you are condensing the calories.

Keto is not automatically a high fat diet. In fact, there is a specific subset that aims to limit fat. You watch your carb intake. You set it at a level you are happy with. Most say to start with 20-30g and go up from there as you feel comfortable. Carbs should come from veggies and nuts. Asparagus, spinach, zucchini,…

Yes, if you want to loose weight. Mine is currently : 1,357 calories 20g carbs (limit) 6% 93g protein (goal) 27% 101g fat (limit) 67% I limit my carbs, aim for the protein goal, and eat fat to feel full. Obviously the less fat you eat the less calories you consume. I use this : http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

Insults, put downs, shaming, criticism, and reacting by getting a lap dance is all very troublesome. That is not being a good spouse and it borderlines on emotional abuse. You love your husband, but that doesn't give him the right to put you down.If you are unable to get to the root of this yourselves, consider therapy.…

I find I only need to worry about potassium if I am having leg cramps or exercise heavily. I replaced using salt with something called lite salt which is half sodium half potassium.

Better and cheaper options out there. You are paying a fee to someone when you buy it. Save your money.

Always looking for friends especially low carbers!

To loose weight you need to burn more calories than you eat. You can accomplish this by using MFP to track what you eat to get an understanding of how much you should be eating a day. Any exercise you can do is great!

Exercise is for fitness. Lifting weights can up your metabolism. Eating less calories is for weight loss. The best way to see results is track what you eat and make sure you have a calorie deficit.

I look up beginner/stretching yoga videos on youtube and doyogawithme.com There are lots of 15-20 min videos geared towards stretching. Yoga with Adriene is great. She has easy stuff like a couch potato set and many others. Some of it is really geared towards just stretching.

Yep...keto flu aka your electrolytes are out of balance. The general guideline is up to 5000mg sodium, 1000mg potassium, and 300mg magnesium. Many of us do fine on less, it will really depend on your body. One thing I suggest is something called lite salt, which you can probably find at any grocery store. It's part sodium…
