I'm finding, as I learn more about keto and my effort to keep carbs low and fat high, that keeping carbs low is really easy. You only have to remember a few vegetables: Green leafy veg, cruciate veg, and green beans. The high-calorie carbs such as bread, rice, potatoes, and pasta are pretty much incompatible with keto, but…

I got my first reading glasses last year. I was 55. That was after I had retired. I got them because I was spending too much time asking my kids to help read the nutrition facts labels. These are 1.25 power readers. I recently renewed my driver's license without use of vision aids. The simple fact is that if you live long…

I bought a time share in the Sunshine State. It rained every time. I gave it back.

First, make certain that you are weighing and logging your food accurately. If that is properly done, inspect the NET carbs. That is, for a food item, carbs minus fiber is the NET carbs. Once you see your net carbs, decide what you want to do about it. Things like bread, rice, potato, pasta, are only possible in tiny…

Now that you've got it downloaded, don't delete it! Treat each morning as a new start. Treat each evenings' bed time as a sprint to the finish, or whatever else floats your boat. You are not responsible for your dreams.

Please be aware that very often of late, the smartphone app shows no notifications. If all your friends are "app" friends, you are ranting into the void, at least until the software team at UA accidentally fix what they broke yesterday.

Calories, Carbs, Fat, Protein, Fiber, and Potassium. I snack on salt so I don't want to track sodium. Plenty is barely enough.

Was this a Registered Dietician? I ask because RD's are trained in facts. The commonly used phrase "starvation mode" is not well defined, and one certainly misuses the word "starvation" if it is used to describe weight gain.

It does. I answered with a simple sentence to illustrate that you're overcomplicating things. Stay in a calorie deficit to lose weight. Weigh your food. Log your food. Be honest with it. Be patient. About the Apple Watch. It can measure your heart rate. As you perform vast amounts of cardiovascular exercise, you optimize…

This is not a new discovery. This is anecdotal confirmation of a phenomenon of what we variously call "prayer", "meditation", and "psychotherapy". It seems that by simply writing my success at avoiding those Fritos, I've also been able to avoid 2 complete packages of Oreos Thin Mints in the most recent week. I think of…

Whether you do or do not consume alcohol, you still have to account for the calories you consume. Do that. Be honest. Be patient. If the problem is that you get hungry after you've reached your calorie budget, you may need to reconsider your calorie budget. Another possibility is that you can benefit from scheduling the…

Hooray! I also was able to get my blood pressure to "normal" by counting calories and losing weight.

10 of these little things.

https://julianbakery.com/product/pro-granola-paleo-cereal-two-paleo-granola/ Some days I get less than 10 g fiber from vegetables. Some days I don't #2. Depending how much I care about that, some days I have a bowl of 2 servings of that granola with 3 oz of homemade kefir. It's 24 grams of fiber. Next days usually…

I read at another site that the amazing health benefits of cacao are antagonized by the sugar in milk chocolate. So, if you're consuming it for the amazing health benefits of cacao, the less sugar included, the better. I make a fat bomb recipe with peanut butter and coconut oil. I add cacao to it to make an integer number…

It's just a carb. It has some nutrient value, but the social halo of it being NOT a USDA subsidized commodity grain is the reason it's become fashionable.

My mother had a registered sheep dog which incessantly barked. We kept it in the back yard. Next door neighbor had a doberman/GS mix he kept chained to a tree in his yard. One day the neighbor dog broke his chain, jumped the fence, murdered the Sheltie, then went back home. I saw it all. No kernels, no turds.

When beginning keto, increase your salt intake. I was ignorant, so I had one day of consuming a 64 oz pot of hot water in which I'd dissolved 7 bullion cubes. That was too much. I learned better, and the next day simply consumed a few chunks of pink salt It tastes better and keeps the body supplied with ions of sodium,…

I suggest that you resolve to have healthy habits by the time you turn 55, and start now learning what those are.

Nope. You are one of the hot chicks, though.

There's the hot chick. Then there's the hot chick. Oh yeah, there's the hot chick. There's the really hot chick. There's the patriarch.

Yes, it is. Problem is, if you assure yourself that you'll be in a calorie deficit and then neglect to confirm the assertion, you have no way of knowing that you have been.

There's a 50% chance that the one week you've been watching has been one of the two weeks each month that you cyclically retain water. Don't engage in worry. Weigh and log your food honestly and accurately.

Weigh and log your food honestly and accurately. What kind of exercises are you willing to do? The "how much" depends upon the MET value of the work you do and the time you have available to spend doing it.

I started experimenting with keto meals in January. After a couple of weeks of convincing myself that I could survive half a day without carbs, I started trying to keep the whole day low carbs. After several more weeks I adjusted my diary macro targets to have 5% carbs. I think the longest stretch of low carb days I've…

You're asking a wide variety of people that question. You'll get a wide variety of answers. The first 2 look to be the most sensible you'll get. Do you. Do healthy. Do strong.
