Hi Marillian, anyone whose interests combine astrophysics, organic gardening and Nascar is pretty cool in my book! Welcome. And well done on the 65 lbs!

Pre-menopause I could lose weight easily with a 'clean eating' detox type plan, as you are describing above, reliably. Fast forward 3 years and it just didn't work anymore. Moreover, I was gaining weight with a lots less food and equal exercise. The only thing that worked for me was looking at hormone related changes in…

Hey PaleoInScotland - speaking of UK travel food - Tesco express have started doing omelette (instead of bread) wraps! Today I grabbed a BLT in an egg wrap as part of the £3 meal deal.

Yes, PaleoInScotland , I found the same. Just tiny little chopped up pieces - I tried it anyway but it was horrible. Can't make chips with them (or chips at all, more like crumbled, bitter seaweed). I'm in the SW, near Bath.

You've inspired me. I'm making this tomorrow. Hope the family like it!

When they reach child-care or school age they will be exposed to all sorts of foods that are out of your control. If he's worried about them getting the odd slice of bread or oatmeal or whatever for some sort of 'balance' he won't have to wait long. Also, some sort of compromise will need to be reached when they go to…

Thanks for the Na clarification. I agree with your thoughts on K, the lo-salt does it's job there (toe-cramps tell me if I've forgotten it!). I've started supplementing the magnesium, because it's a tricky bugger to get right. I lived in the tropics for years and thought about electrolytes every day. You could go from…

Thanks for your help. So hypothetically - just so I can get a clear idea of how much that is - if I'm aiming for 5000mg - that would be about 2 1/2 tsp of salt per day (obvs not taking into account food diary, pickle juice and other exciting suggestions!). If I've got that right then what about potassium? I've been grossly…

Glad to see you found your way here after the main board. It's just not worth trying to argue it out! FWIW once upon a time - up till 5 years ago - a calorie deficit alone was enough. That stopped working. And loads of little health issues crept in. I have no idea why keto works for me, but it does. All I know for sure is…

OK, intensely stupid question, but how do you know what you're getting each day? I only ever eat home prepared stuff, the recipes have a measured amount but most of what I get is just sprinkled over the plate (I mix the sodium and potassium salts). Just bought some magnesium tablets. MFP tracks the recipes, but do you…

Not sure I've got a lot to contribute to this discussion but what's really obvious to me know is that my metabolism and the ability to 'use' carbs has changed over time. IN my 30's and early 40's I could lose any excess with a no calorie counting vege/no diary/no gluten detox for 3 weeks, and maintain by eating that way…

Best buy in Aldi are the nuts. Here in the UK they place them by the check-out. £2 for a bag of walnuts that would be twice that much in the major supermarkets. Excellent quality.

Can anyone suggest a good way of making sure you get enough electrolytes? Lower-leg swelling always an issue here. I salt food with sodium and potassium salts, but still not sure if it's helping.

I'm 5' 5" started out at 165 about a month ago, now down to 157 got back on MFP last week. So I'm maybe just a few weeks ahead of you? Doing low carb. Anyone similar - Feel free to add me if you like.
