Thigh meat is EXCELLENT for making skewers. Use your favorite marinade, or season rub, simply salt, pepper and gahhhhhhhlic. the fat content of the thigh meat helps to keep the meat moist while being grilled...

Or, a classic but slightly modified Coq au vin... You dont need to thicken this up with roux as it traditionally calls but this can be done with any wine, even champagne (carb counts taken into account, of course)... Salt pork, mushroom, onion, garlic, splash of brandy...

I would highly suggest finding the Bariatric surgeon who operated on you and ask for a Registered Dietician who specializes in Post-op bariatric nutritional services.... This nutritionist *****does not ***** sound like she is properly advising you at all... and I work in healthcare so this bothers me greatly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ketosis: a process in which the body converts stored fat cells into energy to feed the body. Fat is stored energy... it used to be sugars.... the body will store sugar if it doesnt need it, and it gets stored as......wait for it...... FAT. It is perfectly safe to be in ketosis, it is not a harmful process and can occur in…

Sounds like to me the folks who offered to help you understand the predicament you are in with both your ill son and the fact how important this appointment is for you... Dont feel bad when people are willing to help watch him so you can go..... Parenting is never easy, but if you have a support system willing to help when…

A cup of coffee and two glasses of water with my prescriptions is all about I can get down first thing... I need to wait a good 90 minutes at the minimum before I consume food... hasnt harmed me yet! LOL!

Its my pleasure! Ill make sure I indicate those that dont require a medical background to understand the 'language'... it can get 'interesting'... LOL! And of course, I can help decipher anything as well....

Those side effects are common in anyone who starts a low-carb intake. RD's, Diabetic Counselors, Renal Specialists and Endocrinologists to name a few, all consult with their patients (they are supposed to, lets put it that way), the common side effects. Low-carb headaches last anywhere from a couple of days to a week,…

The optimal consideration is to consult with your doctor if that is ok for your individual health-needs. Many athletes often rely on a combination of whole eggs and eggwhites in a power protein meal. Many people do very well with multiple egg intake because its natural dietary cholesterol. Then there are those whose family…

This morning, I prepared 13oz worth of steak tips with a seasoning rub. Cooked one egg Cooked about 1.5oz of fresh white mushrooms sauteed in 1TB of butter. Got to work. I had the egg, the mushrooms, and half the steak. Im 'good' for probably the next 4-5 hours... The container is sitting right next to me, and Im not even…

Allinseven2: If you intend to post 'studies', you need to provide viable links for people to read. Otherwise, I would like you to consider this: First things first: Caraiselite (like many of our members) is following along the Atkins' method - Atkins meaning an accepted practice of weight loss within the medical community…

No.. I didnt think that at all.. thats why I made sure my initial post included "in general, not attacking this thread".. .so definitely no worries.. Yes, it is a very healthy lifestyle - diabetics are the number one patient-class of low-carb treatment (aka Diabetic Nutrition) Its been around for an extremely long time but…

Thats the problem - the LC'ers who dont push it... its the other non-LC'ers who willingly choose to be nasty... not all, but there are quite a few.... and its sad

Well - with all due respect, there are some couples who overly try too much and end up being part of the problem.... That stress is counterproductive... its definitely not meant to anger any couple trying to conceive. Its really a part of life - when we stress, we cause hormonal imbalances, an increase of cortisol because…

Well... after experiencing Insulin Shock because my pancreas couldnt "shut off", Ill tell you right now - anyone working with a specialist (my patients included), I would safely say 80% of us are on a life-time requirement.. Not suggestive, an actual requirement. it just would be nice if folks around here (not targeting…

Perhaps do you have a PCP that could recommend a good Sports MD to consider evaluating you? There might be some underlying circulatory things going on that a Sports MD might know more of... it could be something simple as a new added stress to the body and you are adjusting... It could be something as simple as you just…

Your doctors are telling you the truth. Weight loss yields more horomonal stabilization and regulation. Anything medical related, you will always need to direct to the doctors who are treating you. When in doubt, ask your doctors.... because those doctors are not here on MFP keeping tabs on you. Just make sure (I speak on…

BTW, never under-estimate the power of a well-made Alfredo..... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lol!!!!!

I ran quite a few restaurants in my time, also cooked as a chef for many years - had lots of fun.... Eating healthy should not be an issue where you can make your own choices, if they let you. Just explain to the manager, if there is a restriction on what you can have (I totally get what you mean by the way), explain to…

DeadVim is dead-on. This information is exactly what is shared with patients who are on monitored LC intakes and those who are following Atkins/South Beach. Fruit, second to the Bread/grain group - is the second offender in stalling weight loss, if anything also gaining weight. The healthier carbohydrates should always…

First things first - you have to be reasonable on the time frame for results. If you are consistently getting results in the healthy, more appropriate way, then keep that pace. Dont speed things up - you will just end up back where you began, and Im sure you dont want that to happen. Keep the pace realistic and keep doing…

OHHHHH you just sung dirty to me.. bacon... ohhhh bacon. I use the bacon grease to sautee up the vegetables when I do a pasta-free primavera for myself.... talk about sex on a plate! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few suggestions After reviewing several entries - you seem to rely on alot of name-brands that are known for being prepackaged/processed. You do not appear to be getting in enough of a variety of whole foods at all. You may want to consider better meal planning, perhaps relying on more healthier choices, and more of them…

Pardon me but that husband of yours needs to pull his head out of his *kitten* for talking to his wife like that. No spouse is supposed to be negative to the other like that, no excuse. If he thinks that is a positive way to motivate you, (I dont know), then I wonder how comfy the couch is...lol! You need to put that man…

BINGO! Also foods such as white potatoes, corn, carrots, white flour, processed flour, in addition to breads, rice and pasta made with refined flours - also cause insulin spikes in the blood. Medically I have to stay away from all of it. Reactions so severe it lead me to a hospital stay for Insulin Shock..... it wasnt…

Not sure if its available for Kindle or not.. but I am a devoted fan of Yasmine Galenorn. Particularly, her Otherworld Series. Its the individual first-person-view of three sisters. Each book is a progressive story narrated by each sister. Its very unique and one of the firsts to ever be done in a unique chronological…

Muscle does not weigh more than fat. The only difference is the size. Muscle is leaner and takes less space. Here is an image link to a 5lb picture of each... http://www.kristilarsen.com/images/Fat_vs_Muscle.jpg

Being honest here: stop weighing yourself like crazy... Scales do not give you an accurate picture of what food is still in your body digesting, the amount of urine in your bladder if you have not expelled it, etc... Scales are not accurate no matter what... Weight fluctuates by the hour, day, week, etc.... Measuring tape…
