If you're falling asleep mid conversation, you might want to take another look at your diet. To your points. 1: Canines 2: lol 3: I just finished a leg of ham I bought in January lol.. And it was delicious. It was cured in brine, wrapped in cloth soaked with vinegar and I put it in this cool thing we have called a…

Boy is that going to make meal planning easier...

I believe I should be.. And at one point I was exercising daily. (outside of work related exertion) But around the beginning of the year, I was badly struggling with enthusiasm and resolve, so I made the decision to let something go. I dug my heels in on the food side of things and stopped pushing myself on the exercise…

Daily Post (Monday) Day/Goals:Good solid productive day. I'm eating the right amount of calories and meeting my macro's. But I'm back to not eating clean. I'd really love to get out of the habit of using food for stress relief. Track: Yes. Calories: Yes. Exercise: Yes, More lumber moving and general metal fabrication.…

Very interesting, I'm definitely going to try it. Ironically I'm currently trying to increase my fat intake by 5% per day lol. But I'm really curious. Thanks for the info.

@lemurcat12 The context of that snippet was tied to the previous sentence. My angle being that willpower and commitment will be a part of the solution regardless of how we label the problem. And at some point, if help is sought a professional is going to have to help the client find that inner strength. So I think we're on…

Ground chicken pizza base you say.... The plot thickens. With the Prawns, I don't tend to eat them, but my housemate's do.. And they do literally just throw them on the barbie, you know they are cooked because they change colour. Today we had bacon, eggs and snags. Do they call sausages snags over there? Over here we call…

@craygslyst1 Life would be pretty boring if we all agreed all the time. But I think we agree that with willpower and good support, one can beat just about anything. Sometimes I worry that people are actually starting to speak to each other in person as if it were the internet. But there will always be some of us who enjoy…

Don't stress about it man, these people are seasoned keyboard warriors and this part of the forum is like their fighting pit. Having said that, I don't actually agree with you either. My opinion is that the word addiction gets thrown around a bit and having worked with people battling crippling addiction, I personally…

Definitely not too young for healthy eating habits and learning about better food choices. As with others, I'm wary of generic food programs and shy away from the whole "going on a diet" vibe. Don't really know enough about WW or their plans to say any more about it.

Mostly log as I go, but I've been known to pre log main meals a few days ahead, then log the rest around that as I go. Have a good rest week.

Today is a great day to start. Go for it man. :)

@AB0215 Cool, thanks for the info, next time I go shopping I will see what I can find. I like the idea of this recipe. https://theketocookbook.com/keto-recipes/turkey-burgers/ I've never really looked for it, so maybe it's been there all along. But I must say I can't recall ever seeing ground turkey at the store. LoL about…

Ahh ok cool, that makes sense. I've only ever had turkey in a sliced lunchmeat or carved from a roast. But I eat a lot of beef mince. And specifically eat a lower grade of it to get more fat. Thanks for the info, I'm going to find some ground turkey just to see what it's like. Since Sunday is my allocated rest day for the…

My recent personal experience would support the suggestion you just made. I'm trying some different macro's to establish whether the amount of protein I'm eating is slowing my fat burn down (probably just a little) Just quickly, that chart in the OP seems to contain some irregularities, like multiple entries for choc chip…

My favorite snacks are cottage cheese wrapped in sliced leg ham and cream cheese and chives on pork crackles. If I don't have time for those, then a fistfull of walnuts or a small protein bar will get the snack done.

Yeah wow, cottage cheese is yum.. Roll some up in a bit of sliced leg ham.. hmmm

Wow, some awesome dishes in this thread. Makes me want to spend a bit more time plating my meals up. Here's my from scratch Keto Butter Chicken before I serve up. I've been working on it for months and feel like I have the flavours right where I want them. Still working on suitable keto side's to serve it with.

Is there really no difference in taste? Actually I'm really curious in general, what makes it healthier? Daily Post (Saturday) Day/Goals:Unavoidable day of indoor stuff today. Track: Yes. Calories: Yes. Exercise: Only a little. Water Intake: yes Weigh in: Username: Fyreside Weigh in week: Week 3 Weigh in day: Saturday…

I feel like I've done the hard yards weening myself off a carb heavy diet and just can't see any value in going back. So I expect to be low carb forever more. But I will likely relax the strict keto once I hit my goal.

Daily Post (Friday) Day/Goals: I have a ute covered in lumber, the goal was to empty it.. Which I didn't do as it's been raining on and off.. But I did clear the lumber pile area and weld up a new tool for breaking pallets apart. Track: Yes, always. Calories: Yes. Decided to have a really light day, 1200cal Trying to break…

I know not everyone's teeth are up to it, but in addition to the glass of water idea, I sometimes just crunch away on ice cubes. It's really the same as a glass of water but more eaty... My only other suggestion is don't clean the kitchen. Is there anyone else you can make clean it? Or can it wait till breakfast?

love the HR charts. In fact, my HR monitor is probably one of the best things I've bought towards my fitness aspirations. Here is my yesterday. @jennfalzon1979 Ahh groovy, sounds like you have plenty of tracker experience. I'm sure the Charge2 will serve you well. Enjoy. :)

It does sound like you have your system locked down tight and I tip my hat to you. I've had two decent stalls now, and both times I believe I was not quite eating enough. As counter intuitive as it felt, I upped my daily budget for a couple of weeks and then began bringing it down again.. My body seems to respond to that.…

Ultimately, the 1200 thing is there because MFP never want's to be held responsible for potentially encouraging dangerous diet practices. You know your body and situation better than MFP does, so I say do what feels sensible to you. Personally when I 16:8 (which I love to do) I will eat a days calories in the window. But…

I think step one is make sure you're really well hydrated.. Ensure the electrolytes are taken care of and just get on with low carb from the next meal forward. Perhaps there is a low carb treat you enjoy.. Today might be a good day to seek that out.

@jennfalzon1979 I kinda hate to be that guy... You've decided on a product and I'm going to suggest something else lol. But after two fitbits. I have been completely won over by my Garmin VivoSmart. The battery life, the full waterproofness.. The screen and way it interacts with my phone.. Even the way it's put up with my…

@AB0215 Since there is some Saturday left, can I please ammend my weigh in for week 2 to 252.4 I lost more during the day, against all expectation.

just finished doing my catchup read. @143tobe & @carlsoda Great to see some other outdoors fans here. Carl, nothing nicer than cooking over an open fire. Lisa, have a great vacation. @gemwolf110 I am just so jealous of that snow lol. @JJKM02 You've got the right idea there, just power on through. It's frustrating to put in…

Just want to do a quick post about a wierd anomaly from this week gone. Truth be told, on several occasions including last night I was a bit naughty with my eating. Generally, I try my best to eat my daily cal budget during daytime hours as I've experienced my best loss that way. But when stressed, I don't sleep and in the…
