I believe the link is really with IGF Wichita is linked to cancer. Problem with a study in was shown is that all it showed was that high amounts of red meats combined with carbs causes IGF to rise more than just carbs with low red meat. Not very conclusive for me. It doesn't take that much red meat to get to the 75 to 80 g…

Hi Chrohns is a serious condition and I have heard of some people doing great on keto with it but only a doctor can really answer. IF she is doing everything right and maintaining a good deficit without weight-loss there may be something to it. A doctor can look at the medication she is taking in case that has any effect.…

I eat them generally if I miss lunch and don't feel like fasting. You just really have to be careful because you can a big surprise logging your food. I had no idea about the legume part... I feel dumb for not knowing that.

I am sure everything is am about to say way already Said here but I also quit about 5 months into keto. Keto did not help or hurt in my opinion. I stuck to it. I quit cold turkey. I quit on a Monday and took the whole week off to adjust. I drank a lot of water and stopped watching calories or logging. It was possibly the…

I only use fish oils times a week. I have some b12 that I take when I feel down.

Boobs

@mua556 In ShaaAllah.... but listen to the comment above. I have found that after the water weight drop answer no matter how low the deficit, I cannot stay feeling good losing anymore than 4kg per month. Above that I feel I'll. Wish you Success

I get it now :-) Had to look it up. With that meaning I can say that I have been bonk proof for a long time already! It just means that you don't "hit the wall" when you run out of muscle glycogen. Athletes- not people like me - have this problem and it cause them to have to carry all kinds of sugar gels on races.

The term is not well defined so it is difficult to answer. I was told a long time ago in a forum that if you have been in ketosis a large majority of the time for more than 6 weeks and you are not dead ( :smiley: ) then you can assume that you are adapted. It is a change in enzymes that is hard to test but basically…

One thing that helped me out is reducing my water intake at night. I drank too much and peed too much. it got way better. A half a salted avocado at dinner won't hurt either. Good luck

I did carbnite and it just maintained me. No matter how many calories I cut I would just spend the week losing what I gained in my 4 hour carbnite. A relative did it with me and kept losing (a woman). Maybe it is better for women or maybe it just doesn't work for some people. I was very strict in following the book. It was…

Hi, I used to drink it because I misses the cokes. I limited myself to 1 a day around lunch. It is no longer a habit so I don't anymore. There is a lot of information on aspartame and splenda out there and the concensus seems to be that too much may raise insulin even without the sugar content and kick you out of keto for…

I used to do the following but be warned of calories. It is delicious and low carbon but high density. 2 cup of whipped cream 1 cup of mascarpone 1 container of oikos Greek yogurt 5 packets of sweetner blend and top with cinnamon. this would last me 5 days or so... but be careful to not grab the whole thing and realise you…

welcome to this awesome forum. I am about 2 weeks into the logging thing but long time keto. started fasting today.

I count them mainly to see patterns and for the future me. I don't stress over it too much. carbs only are important to me. the rest is data.

Welcome. You have come to the right place and most opinion you will hear here are informed. I have got my sister and her husband as well as other family members to start keto. I recommend the simplicity approach at the beginning. the recipesender and details are to much. Breakfast eggs / cheese / coffee with cream / use…

hope she gets better. not qualified at all but it looks like the lichen planus my wife had a few years ago. They did a biopsy to diagnose it and the treatment sucks (heavy doses of steroids). the type of LP she had is autoimmune and rare. looks very similar. Anyways I hope a dermatologist can give her effective treatment…

hello I feel you pain. I hate salty fatty meaty breakfast. it actually makes me sluggish and heavy. I have found that for me the best thing in the morning is a large portion of nothing served with a side if coffee. if I feel crazy that day I will add a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream to the coffee. I don't eat lunch…

I highly suggest looking on YouTube for the brothers green channel. the video called 10 creative ways to cook an egg is awesome. I tried all if them and they worked. https://youtu.be/mfRNLcaxTeo

First of all your results are awesome and you should keep global perspective. 1.5lbs a week is still great and as someone who has lost a lot of weigh i can tell you it doesn't last. you will have weeks of stalling and small gains. Do not panic. That being said... I do have every couple of months a cheat night scheduled a…

Here is one of my favorites: As a quick side to dinner or lunch drain a can of sliced mushrooms (I squeeze the water out by hand). Saute in a medium pan with 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter (almost more like frying that sauteing). Use garlic powder and whatever light tasting herbs. Add 1 cup of Hazardous Waste Combustor and…
