Minnesota native, here! Our unofficial state bird is the skeeter :) Luckily, our state has undertaken a lot of good serious work in controlling the population with stormwater management - to the point we have an actual official task force dedicated to it, and it hasn't been as bad in recent years. Research Agency -…

Local and touristy Hawaiian eateries will put tons of sugar, and HFCS in teriyaki and barbecued meats, too. And cornstarch in sauces used to cover them. You can probably enjoy tons of local seafood and meats without any stuff on them, I would assume. And Spam! Try Spam musubi without the rice. It's delish :) Spam & eggs!

I always say, why eat anything you don't like? We have a myriad list of foods we can enjoy, contrary to popular belief...it seems nearly limitless! If you want to eat veggies but don't much like the taste of them raw, we are lucky souls who can get away with cooking them in butter and covering them with cheese! And bacon!…

I second Dr. Fung as an excellent resources on insulin resistance treatment with fasting. I'm into my 2nd month this week, of 16:8 IF, basically I don't really eat until noon or after, and my last meal is done before 7 p.m. I am very pleased with the results. However, insulin was making me fat and not doing much to keep my…

Is that chicken parmigiana? How'd you make it?

Fantastic! Former high-blood sugar victim, here. That's a GREAT number to have that fast. I second the recommendations of fish and eggs, and remember... many living things on earth are for our consumption...they are put there for that. It's the circle of life.

I have a pork rind problem. I can't make a 3 ounce bag last more than a day and I wind up overeating them and still filling in the rest of my day on other stuff, even though I'm sated. I'm pretty sure I'd need a 12-step program. I just avoid them these days, mostly.

Very interesting and exhaustive post. Do you know how long to ferment to get the deeper shade (red)? I heard that the darker, aged miso has a more complex and rich taste.

Nice! I can't wait til I get there, it means we can up our fat intake a bit, once we burn off our excess stores. I think the best way to answer your question would be ascertain your new energy needs - probably by finding a way to estimate your current % of body fat, then revisit whatever tool you used initially for your…

I went from eating "clean" whole foods almost exclusively (albeit, high carb/low fat) for a few years trying to fight diabetes along with meds and was gaining weight and had normal energy - when I went into ketosis for the first couple months, my energy went through the roof once I became fat-adapted. Now that I've been…

Welcome back! Very interesting field report. Europe is becoming a bit of a shlthole, unfortunately. Still, there's obviously things to see and fun to be had!

You had me at Roquefort + mousse. Holy chit

LOL @ "Deener"! I also sometimes eat my scrambled egg breakfast out of a mini skillet!
-
Glad to have you aboard! Nice lost right out of the gate. Please do not get discouraged if it does not continue at the same rate. Slow and steady wins the race, if that's the direction things begin to go (as they did with me)! You're on the right track to not just weight loss but HUGE health benefits and disease prevention…

Excellent share for newbies wanting to quit sugar. Thanks for posting, @retirehappy!
-
What everyone else said! Took me weeks to get over the sodium hump when I started keto because I had pretty moderate hypertension and edema and was deathly afraid of excess salt intake. Once I realized I started feeling like *kitten* due to a) letting go of carbs which released all the water attached to them in my body and…

Fabulous work!

Great job! Keep going.

Size 2! Awesome, @CRZYFTM! I also have no butt or thighs whatsoever. Sad, really. Seems clothing manufacturers these days have designed ALL pants to be for thick legged women with a big butt - I don't get it at all. They ALL sag on me if they're not leggings and/or jeggings. Sad. If I wear wide-legged pants, I look very…

Great choice. Moderation is good. For me, avoidance is best. I don't need it.
-
@retirehappy Looks like it!
-
Ah, I remember the days when Gizomodo was mainly a tech article circle jerk site. Now it's click-baity political propaganda not unlike HuffPo and BuzzFeed.

Keep us posted.

I wish I'd found keto and this post almost 20 years ago.

Nice job! Happy anniversary :)

My weight is somewhat stable the past couple months, up a pound, down two, etc., nothing dramatic. But something I noticed that has been different... When I lie down in bed or on the couch, my tummy is flat and soft, not bulging and hard, like it used to be! I still have a LOT of tummy on my body, but I think I've melted…
-
@ladipoet I'm so happy for you! Great numbers and progress!
-
A friend of mine who's a group member referred me to this thread and thought I might offer something of value...perhaps it is, or is not...you decide. Hey there, @3834cherie ! If you love vegetables and meat, keto is for you! It's a luxurious and delicious way of eating/way of life, like @Sunny_Bunny_ mentioned So many…

Yours may come out more chewy and grainy, I screwed up and misread the amount of coconut flour (can't remember what I put in, but it was more than 1/2 tablespoon, I think what I put in was more like 1 AND a 1/2, oops). So mine came out more rubbery, and took forever to cool to a less-jiggly state. I couldn't figure out how…
