Oh untz is trolling. All the research he can present is equally or more flawed than any research low-carbers can present.

It's cool you get wings and ranch instead.

Holy hell just look at the low-carber daily thread to see how well low carb works for people. You don't need carbs, when you stop eating them, your body starts using fat for energy. It helps restore insulin sensitivity and preserves muscle while allowing you to burn fat. It won't kill you - ask anyone who's been a…

Just because you personally disagree with paleo/primal/keto diets doesn't mean they're garbage. Why don't you stop posting nonsense?

There's a low carb pasta - dreamfields. 5 net carbs per serving, since most of it is fiber. They make it in all sorts of shapes, but you'll have to check the website to see if anyone near you sells it (I had to order it online).

Try sauteing bok choy in garlic and olive oil as a side dish with dinner. Stir fries are excellent since you can put all manner of veggies in there - including leafy greens. Throw some baby kale or spinach into your next meat dish while you're cooking. Toss some broccoli or brussel sprouts in oil and garlic and roast them…

There are far more flavorful teas than lipton - my website of choice to buy from is adagio.com. There are so many varie-teas! X3 If you want to be adventurous outside of black teas, try an oolong if you never have. They're more oxidized than green teas, but less so than black, and have a flavor profile that stands alone…

I do extreme low carb in the form of keto - try to keep my carbs under 20g/day. It's been tough, but I broke my carb addiction and I eat a lot healthier. There are way more veggies in my diet than there ever have been before. At 20g it's kind of restrictive - it can be hard eating out, and sometimes I have trouble devising…

Hello! Just found this thread. X3 I'm on a keto diet - I keep my carbs under 20g/day. I have a keto mexi-bake recipe that I thought I'd share: 1lb ground beef 3c shredded cheese 2tbsp chili powder (adjust to taste, I put in far less) 8oz can tomato sauce (lowest carb you can find) Black olives (optional) Sour cream…

It's still morning for me but I'm thinking either that meat and veg breakfast leftover from the other day or my mexibake casserole thing from last night. :D

Keto is something you should talk to your doctor about first if you're diabetic. It's not well suited for most diabetics, though it might be possible to reduce meds if you're in it. Definitely talk to your doctor though. And I agree that keto is a good thing, I'm in it myself, but only people without major outstanding…

Tiger, where did you read that ketones come from protein? They're synthesized from fatty acids. That's easy enough information to verify. You don't burn muscle on a ketogenic diet, in fact it's been shown in studies that you lose far less muscle on it than on diets containing carbs. Just ask any bodybuilder on it - and…

I've cut sugar completely out of my diet, and restricted carb intake to no more than 20g a day - usually less, and I'm aiming for most of it to be from leafy greens. I'm on a ketogenic diet - you eat a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb diet. The results don't lie - almost everyone who follows it correctly (bar people…

I weigh everyday at 8:30am to track my progress.

My goal is my freshman college jeans. I'm not far out of college - only just graduated - but I gained 20-25 pounds since. I was a size 10 then, 16 now. That's my first milestone! My goal weight will probably require a new wardrobe entirely - I started gaining weight when I hit puberty and just never stopped. I was a waif…

There are certain foods that can stall weight loss for some people. Among these are sugar substitutes - especially sugar alcohols, but any can be a culprit - peanut butter, nuts in general, and low fat dairy. If you eat any of those, try cutting one of them out for a week, and see if it helps.

I'm on a very low carb diet at the moment - aiming for less than 20g net per day. I just started last week though, so I haven't seen a lot of progress, but my stomach looks a tad flatter. ;) I miss all the carby sugary things I used to eat, but steak and homemade hollandaise made up for it.... :D My ratio is around…

I'm not diabetic but I'm on a keto diet - so I try to stay under or around 5% of my daily intake as carbs, and I avoid sugar. Tonight I'm having chicken alfredo over zucchini "pasta" (just julienned zucchini cooked in olive oil). I just cook chicken thighs or breasts in olive oil, saute the zucchini in the same pan, and…

Someone reviewed it. It's mostly misrepresented or debunked science. Link to the review here: http://rawfoodsos.com/2011/09/22/forks-over-knives-is-the-science-legit-a-review-and-critique/

I'm on a keto diet - similar to perpetually staying in the atkins induction phase. It's not really that hard. I actually discovered that you can substitute cauliflower for potatoes, rice, and bread crust! It's crazy. Plus avocado burgers (no bun) make for a tasty breakfast. Then you just cook everything in fat, including…

I made salted salmon once. You take kosher/sea salt, heavily salt some salmon fillets, then let them sit in the fridge, wrapped in paper towels and in an airtight container, for 2-3 days. They're freezable too. Then you take them out, cook them, skin side down only, and then shred them for an awesome filling.
