These groups have turned into the general forums all over again. Except instead of people getting ATTACKED for eating keto vs regular calorie deficit, it's people getting attacked eating high fat instead of high protein. If keto has evolved, why are the medical research and studies still testing the medicinal effects of…

You could give your opinion without attacking mine or me personally!!...I didn't get nasty or mean. No need to attack. All that protein must do wonders for personality... Try upping fats... It actually changes brain chemicals and releases endorphins. Might make you bossy protein gurus a little nicer in delivering your…

Shirataki noodles, cabbage, mung bean sprouts, zucchini, mushrooms, cilantro, fresh basil, green onions, yellow onions, broccoli, steak, Lemongrass paste, Thai peanut sauce, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and hoisin sauce.

I disagree with the don't need to eat fat if you have fat to lose. Only two fuel sources for Energy... Carbs and fats. The body burns body fat at a specific rate, that doesn't change if you eat more or less fat. If at a calorie deficit, fat consumed is Energy spent. Fat Calories consumed are used as fuel and have nothing…

We quit eating vegetarian due to my daughter's Crohn's. Veggies started causing internal bleeding. We both miss the foods we made. We made a lot of vegetarian lavash pizzas, sweet Earth Grounds tacos (with organic shells). Now doing low carb (keto) so our dishes wouldn't have fit. We ended up with really bad fungi toxin…

I sprinkle real parmesan cheese on my oven roasted brussel sprouts roasted in olive oil. Throw the cheese on on shortly before they're coming out of oven, So Good... Especially if brussel sprouts caramelized.

LOL... Another funny thing, a little embarrassing, but I used to use my stomach to brace my plate on. Basically use stomach as a table. I keep trying to do it out of habit, and well, have had to clean up a couple of messes because plate tilts and spills. Can't seem to remember there's no stomach there to hold plate.

What motivates me to eat... Same as above commenter... Not wanting to die. I had congestive heart failure from eating around 1100 daily... Almost died, now I eat 1500-2000 daily. I almost never dip below 1400.

Studded corsets are better though.... On my list of wants after I tone up just a little more!!! ;)

LOL, after typing last reply, I went to mall shopping. I bought something... Couldn't help myself. I ended up leaving junior store with a tiny little red and black plaid skirt.... Always wanted one!! My daughter was actually trying it on, while I was trying on a vest. After she tried on, I asked if I should try it on...…

Eating high fat changes the chemicals in the brain (why keto lchf diet is used to treat autistic, alzheimers, and epileptic patients, along with more and more clinical research for other diseases affecting the brain). These results are from consuming high fats (not just from cutting carbs alone). There's no harm trying…

I have to do 1-2 pound weights. With my genetics I seriously buff up and end up huge.. I don't want to be muscular. Hired a personal trainer once because I wanted to look just a little more toned in wedding photos. He insisted that I lift heavier weights, told me women do not bulk up naturally. I started lifting. I bawled…

I love more caffeine over stronger taste, so I buy whatever blonde gourmet coffee is on sale. I really like Trader Joe's blonde roast breakfast blend (get ground in store) organic fair trade. I sweeten with local brand half and half, Stevia, and unsweetened cocoa powder (zero net carbs). My tea is organic Graviola tea…

Sweet Earth Grounds were another favorite of mine... Not sure on the carbs though. Fake ground beef, was delicious, can use it in any recipe that calls for ground beef: chili, spaghetti squash spaghetti, stuffed bell peppers, cabbage rolls, taco salads, etc.

Used to be vegetarian... Favorite recipes were: Tempeh salad: Original Tempeh cubed. Diced onion, Shredded carrots, Diced Tomatoes (I prefer organic heirloom). Diced celery (or cucumber), mayo, season salt, pepper, dill weed, splash of soy sauce. All mixed together, I used to eat this stuff in a wrap or out of the bowl.…

Another silly NSV: shopped at Victoria Secrets off table tops (mediums).... Didn't have to dig in drawers for larger sizes. Anyone else deal with body distortion? The other day, I wanted a pair of jeans, they were out of 12s so I picked up the size 10... It looked so tiny to me. I thought, I won't be able to get one leg…

Silly NSV: Bought a new hat yesterday. NSV: face thin enough again to wear hats giving nice urban appearance, instead of looking like Hyacinth Bucket! When my face has weight, hats make me appear older and old fashioned. Going to coffee house and concert in the city look versus going for tea at the Lady's annual garden tea…

Haven't heard of it, but I've done soup diets before just for a few days. I used to make a cabbage/veggie soup and eat for a few days to kick start losing weight, (the cabbage soup cleans you out). Have to live very near a toilet! Whenever I've decided after injuries it's time to lose the weight put on...I always start…

Congrats on the weight loss!!! Amazing!! We unfortunately live in a shallow superficial society. Been on a few weight loss journeys due to gaining with injuries, and I can always tell when I'm getting close to goal, because men do treat differently. Examples: being cut off in grocery store lines to having men smile, slight…

@seltzermint555 No, lol... My juniors clothes are mostly jeans, shorts, skirts, and some 90s looking floral shirts (like the 90s baby doll dresses that go good with skinny jeans or leggings, or tights with doc martins). I like some of the juniors clothes because they remind me of 80s and 90s that are coming back in... Like…

You're lucky there. That's awesome!! I'm having the opposite problem in US. I can't find bras after losing weight. American bras were easy to find being big breasted and wider around measurements (like when I was 42" DDD) or easiest bras to find here are cup sizes A-B-C with tinier measurements (like 32"-36" A-B-C).…
