Oh yeah, I'm aware this dude is a complete dumbass. I watched a documentary on Netflix where he was one of the interviewed and he doesn't sound any better than he writes. His claims just don't make sense, logically. The studies he uses use faulty baselines which effect the results of the study making the information…

Diet Dr Pepper and I'm good. They should stop selling popcorn, the smell is offense and makes me wanna vomit.

Dr Dumbass strikes again. http://nutritionfacts.org/2016/11/22/how-a-low-carb-diet-is-metabolically-like-being-obese/ LCHF apparently makes us so obese, that we lose weight. I think he thinks LCHF is bacon and butter all the time. That's ludicrous.

Burst of energy, what else could it be?

@KetoLady86 ; @idocdlw: Glad I'm not the only one. People at work think I'm nuts when it happens because its quick. I start fanning myself and then I get this sudden burst of energy and want to get up and do stuff. It happens more often after I've eaten something, but not always. As a matter of fact last night at work when…

Oh my goodness! Does it really? I never got that close. LOL

I'm having a normal Thanksgiving dinner. This is my one day that I'm going to throw LCHF out the window. I don't consider it "falling" off the wagon, I'm "jumping" (head first)! :smiley: The day after, its business as usual and I pretend nothing ever happened :smile: Depending on how sick I make myself, I may consider…

When you're in Ketosis, your body is converting fat into ketones that it uses for energy. So ketones will be present in your urine. All you need to do is pee on a strip and watch it change color. Ketone Strips @ Amazon As far as being able to tell by just how you feel, you should have more energy, mental clarity and you'll…

@idocdlw : Haha! That's amazing! Love it! Definitely the perfect script for a bad hair day. LOL

It's really sad how many people are going to read that and believe it and turn to carbs possibly making their situation worse. This article popped up on my Flipboard new feed so you know it's getting tons of hits. I'm almost dropped my phone when I read the title. I know since I've started LCHF, I've never had so much…

The brand I got is "Pyure" and it claims that it's all natural. I think I'm gonna stick with this one. I've noticed some less expensive "stevia" products say it contains "Rebiana (Stevia Leaf Extract)", while the "organic/natural" ones say "Stevia Leaf Extract natural" or "Reb-A". I'm thinking Rebiana is the processed…

Here's an interesting article from an MD who's been smoking everything but his shoes: http://nutritionfacts.org/2016/11/17/fat-is-the-cause-of-type-2-diabetes/ It's not the carbs that's bad for you, it's the fat..... :| because people are imagining their success on LCHF. Doctors.....

I follow Keto 5%/70%/25% and I stopped getting cravings about 2 weeks in. I was a total snacker during those 2 weeks and can still be sometimes if things get stressful (my trigger), but I choose low carb things to snack on like whole salted almonds, or pickles (OMG PICKLE JUICE!!!! YES!!). Also banana peppers (weird yes,…

I found some sweetener at Walmart that is erythritol and stevia and it's amazing!! Goodbye Splenda! You've been replaced. ;) It's astonishing how many "low calorie" sweeteners contain maltodextrin. So misleading!

I eat whatever makes my happy while keeping carbs and calories low and then at the end of the day if I need fat/protein adjustment, I make up an Atkins shake with carefully measured heavy whipping cream up to 1/2 cup, and if I need more fat to balance I use liquid coconut oil to make up the rest (1 or 2tbsp). To make…

310.0 -294.0 16lbs in 2 weeks! - WOW! THAT'S AMAZING! Keep up the awesomeness!

I've never considered using erythritol because I didn't know that you can buy it in its pure form. Although I just found some on Amazon for 7.99/lbs. I'm going to get some and try it out in my tea. I love my tea! One thing I find interesting about Splenda is a lot of web sources actually claim that "Splenda is not suitable…

First started Keto on 03/02/2016 for 1 month; switched to CCHO for 7 months; Back on Keto 11/03/16. SW: 283 CW: 249.2 Short term Goal: 225 Long term Goal: 200 Extended Long term (Dream) Goal: 180 Lost 33.8lbs (if anybody finds them, I don't want them back... thanks :smiley: )

People are taking way too many medications these days. I'm the only one in my household who doesn't take medication everyday for "something". It's just astonishing that people accept these treatments so readily to fix whatever issues pop up in their labs instead of perhaps making some lifestyle changes to eliminate the…

Interesting that most of y'all prefer the liquid version of stevia over the powdered version. It's actually the liquid version in which I'm referring to the funny taste. I've noticed that when I use the powered version in a hot beverage it tastes just fine, It's when I throw it in something cold is when it tastes weird. My…

Yeah, I thought about the calories might be too low as well because it just makes sense that without fuel, the fire goes out. I didn't even realize about the magnesium though. I'll pass that on. Thanks :smiley:

Yeah, thats what makes sense to me too. I've always included spinach in my diet because I just love veggies which probably explains why I haven't had any issues. I do regret not being able to have as much of my favorite veggies like corn and carrots as I like because of their carbs. Her lack of veggies would definitely…

....when your coworkers leave their Halloween candy out on the desk, and you chuck in the trash when they're not looking so you don't have to smell it.

I also plan, prepare and log my food ahead. It really does help with sticking to your goal ratios. I'm also a shift worker and I find that it doesn't matter when you log your food because you just eat when you have time which may not always be at the same time so within the 24 hour period just works. I already have my food…
