Another vote here for not a significant risk. See e.g., Lieberman and Kwon, "FACTS VERSUS FEARS: A REVIEW OF THE GREATEST UNFOUNDED HEALTH SCARES OF RECENT TIMES", published by The AMERICAN COUNCIL ON SCIENCE AND HEALTH (September 2004), p. 17.…

Agreed. I for one would definitely prefer to take "Amazing Grass" every morning because someone on the internet said it was good for you rather than drink celery juice every morning because someone on the internet said it was good for you. I mean, who even knows what God put in celery to begin with; ammi right? ;)

I changed up my gift basket order this year to reflect lower carb. choices: more cheese, fresh fruit and less candy, candy coated items. It amuses me a little that my gift list recipients share in my dietary preferences ;)

Well to determine "toxicity risks go up with dosage" we would first need to know if you are describing a metric "bunch" or an Imperial "bunch" of celery...

or since it's celery, it could be the produce lobby, you know "Big Farma"

See however, Lieberman and Kwon, "FACTS VERSUS FEARS: A REVIEW OF THE GREATEST UNFOUNDED HEALTH SCARES OF RECENT TIMES", published by The AMERICAN COUNCIL ON SCIENCE AND HEALTH (September 2004), p. 17.

In general, I avoid cleanses unless it is something available under prescription by a doctor (e.g. colonoscopy prep.). https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/healthyeating/a-woman-went-brain-dead-after-trying-a-soy-sauce-cleanse-that-recommended-drinking-a-litre-in-a-2-hour-period/ar-BBQOT5d

New Year, new diet scam!

Not quite. A number of adaptations occur in the body subject to reduced carbohydrate intake, called ketosis. These adaptations shift the body from consuming primarily glucose to primarily free fatty acids (FFA) and serve primarily to conserve glucose and nitrogen. (Lyle McDonald, The Ketogenic Diet, p.39). Briefly, Because…

People don't want factual, evidence-based. They want Dr. Punchbowl's tweets that it cures cancer, enables you to live to 120 y/o, cures your arthritis, bursitis, aches, pains, and allergies, helps you find your lost shotgun, gets your mom released from prison, and causes your wife to leave that doctor she ran off with and…

Teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. This stuff is especially good:

In Asia, white rice is boiled to the consistency of oatmeal; called "Kayu" or "Okayu". Used in hospitals to get patients back onto a solid diet as gently as possible. Also used as baby food and generally made when someone in the house is sick. That said, I love the stuff and can easily overeat my day's calories just adding…

Mustard kicks ketchup's butt to the curb. Sorry, not sorry.

Struggled with it for some 40 years. Tried medications. Nothing seemed to cure it. Until I stumbled on this book and did some of the exercises and that helped a great deal: David Burns, MD., "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" (https://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-New-Mood-Therapy/dp/0380810336/ref=sr_1_1) Best wishes for…

Is he hiring? ;)

The only time someone looks at me is when I have some toilet paper stuck to the bottom of my shoe and its following me around. :/

Confirmed.

Welcome!

Consistency is my issue too. I find that if I fill out my food log on myfitnesspal in the morning I can plan out the day and I get better results. * I start with the things I must eat (vitamins). * Mornings I add my pre-workout (BCAAs, black coffee) and a post workout (yogurt, more black coffee!) for breakfast. * I know I…

Welcome! Tips are make friends, keep calm and enjoy the journey :)

I found that reducing my carbohydrate intake below about 100gm daily eliminated these symptoms. Here is a good group to join to discuss this and other blood sugar related topics as they relate to diet: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum Others have had similar experiences... @nvmomketo
