  • My sister in law and I were going to the store when we ran out of gas. Her husband (my brother) had borrowed the car and was told to make sure he put gas in it, but he forgot and then didn't tell us. We grabbed the gas can and headed towards town. It was only a couple miles out.. In less than a quarter mile I was gasping…
  • Iced.. no sugar. Sometimes with mint leaves and lemon.
  • Procreate and BOX.. like em both equally.
  • Been following since July 16th (well, low carb and trying to do keto) and down 22lbs and several inches. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group Join this group.. has over 46,000 members and is active
  • Very low carb, mid protein, high fat. It's good for those with insulin resistance, inflammation, arthritis, binging issues, diabetes, hypothyroid, pcos, well let's just say it's a pretty good lifestyle if you can give up processed sugars and carbs. Low carb is less restrictive on the whole carb thing. If you are losing…
  • 2-10 days. Get some test strips from the pharmacy.
  • I'm where your at and had issues losing at first to. I'll be happy to add you!
  • Why yes, and understood it. Even the parts that WERE negative.. just not about what you were posting about.. How bout you? Did you catch that? There can be negative side effects in SOME people but the study showed that it is a SAFE diet.. this from the government site. Negatives came from there also. I actually enjoy…
  • Thank you. Was beginning to think I wasn't expressing myself in an easy to understand fashion or using to big of words. I'm not mad at those who don't like keto.. I get it! It can suck when your kid pulls out a pan hot, moist, delicious fudge brownies! I don't begrudge them the opportunity to dive right in if they have…
  • My sister in law was skeptical until she realized she hadn't needed her migrain meds, xanax, arthritis and depression meds, and hasn't had sciatica issues or needed shots in her back for her back problems since starting this woe. That and of course her weight loss. Now some was caused by weight I'm sure.. like her back..…
  • I'm glad it's just one flaw you found and has nothing to do with why keto doesn't work at all.
  • Only true statement here is that keto isn't a magic cure and doesn't work for everyone. It's a freaking miracle to those who couldn't lose any other way. To those who could, just a diet choice. You might want to do your research on IBS and Crohns.. There is no substantial study done on IBS sufferers but the one study that…
  • Exactly what I've been saying this ENTIRE TIME! 1: "Keto (blurrs out important part) everyone. 2: It worked for me because (blah blah blah I don't want to hear this!) 3:But like I said, if I could do regular cico. I (she hates cico and thinks it's the wrong way! I hate her!) 4: Don't let others discourage you. There is…
  • You say it so much nicer than I do.. :lol: Course I envy those who can carb and lose weight.. but I agree.. it APPARENTLY isn't the easiest way or more obese people wouldn't struggle and give up and restart over and over and over and.. well you get the idea. The only complaint from anti ketoers is from those who continued…
  • Keto has two types of people. Those who keep it simple.. meat. Veggies. Fat. And those that take chances cause without variety they will fail.. Keto Lasagna, shrimp alfredo, cheesecake, egg noodles, that recipe that looked totally awesome online and was definitely not keto but I bet with a few modifications can be! I like…
  • I have never heard of flaxseed. Some items are good cooked in one fashion but vile in other fashions. Google flaxseed recipes and try them each out. Just adjust the ingredients to make sample sizes.
  • Yeah, they get down right vicious on some of the Facebook keto groups. You can even be kicked out for asking about their thoughts on above 20g carbs. It's crazy! Those people are taking something helpful and turning it into something no one can live by except their little cultish following.. And the "THATS NOT KETO!"…
  • I like Earl Nightingale. "Don't give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyways." But I also like, "It's not that diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure run in your family.. it's that NOBODY runs in your family!"
  • Well, biggest con for me is missing some of my favorite foods like french fries and donuts.. Really any pastry type desert. I never liked bread or pastas so that was a bonus for me. Pros? Almost any food can be made into a keto approximation and taste AWESOME! Keto pizza? My kids beg for that over the real pizza.. Keto…
  • I have social anxiety and generalized anxiety.. and anxiety over medications and death and kids out of my sight.. I hated school because I hate the unknown. I've never used medication to deal with it. Not that you shouldn't. If you can't seem to manage it on your own, then you need help. Me, I can't.. my anxiety won't let…
  • Weekly is the only way I can succeed. If I go way over I feel I have wiggle room to correct it on other days.
  • An uncooked wing has about 72 calories per wing. Add breading and sauces, it can quickly add up. To drop it to about 50 calories per wing, remove the skin. Lessen the calories by choosing your sauces wisely.
  • Yup.. I can tell when I'm about to start. Cranky, stomach issues, cravings, and the dreaded scale report. "WHAT! Four pounds! How the thespian did I gain four bloody pounds in... wait.." *Checks calendar* "WHAT! Son of a bisquit! Do you have to show up EVERY month!" *Throw calendar, storm to the fridge, yank out anything…
  • No desert for me.. I have self control issues. If I could stop at just one slice of cheesecake, I'd fit it in. Till then, no cheesecake allowed in my house!
  • This will be my final reward. The outfit, the hair.. My hair is longer but I can trim it up..
  • Did I say anything about not being attracted? Don't put words in my post.
  • DIS..GUST..ING
  • Family, yes.. Close friends, yes.. friends here or say, at work? No. Not my business. I may post an article on the subject though. In fact, had to do this with my mom who came from the generation of destroyed metabolisms. She kept trying to convince me that that was my issue when I first started and couldn't lose weight..…
  • Yeah, half way up and at least judge your condition after to see if you think you can do it next year.
