Cooking actual real food is now an epiphany of brilliance, we can't make this stuff up. Congratulations on you for realizing real food is tasty and better for us.

I hope you achieve your goals.😊

The medical institution is quick to blame the individual where I actually don't blame people for overeating with the solution of eating less and moving more, also a 50 year fail. It's not really their fault and neither is it a good solution to their problem and if some GLP-1 medication can help, by all means do that, but…

I had left over braised leg of lamb in the reserved lamb broth/sauce and made a pasta with it. I sauteed some garlic, julienne red onion, parsley, chili flakes, cherry toms and a little mutti and finished with a little of the starchy pasta water to loosen the sauce and then added parmigiana Reggiano and used pappardelle.…

Calorie counting is about math and when a person does an activity outside of their daily norm and their allotment of acceptable calories they've used up more calorie energy so on that particular occasion they get to eat more calories, basically exercise allows for more calorie consumption if a person has not factored it…

Yeah, I don't calorie count and lost quite a bit of weight (65) by limiting my starchy and sugary carbs and consume mostly animal products so basically lower carb which as indicated supported the hormonal balance that for the vast majority of people that bring our satiety hormones back into balance, basically the hunger is…

I took it that the OP was eating nothing but chicken and the dietitian was surprised by the statement. I mean what dietitian and I mean even one that is totally incompetent would ever just say to eat a lean protein exclusively, I could be wrong but that's the way I took that statement.

Do you only eat chicken breast?

Call your diet whatever you want but when consuming a diet mostly conceived of whole foods while also reducing starchy carbs, especially UPF and focusing on fiber, like cruciferous vegetables, avocado and proteins is one of the best and proven strategies for reducing IBS type symptoms, prediabetes and (NAFLD) non alcoholic…

I didn't think anyone would get that metaphor, so good for you. It's basically comes down to the erosion of our "metabolic flexibility" (MF) and it's basically the canary in the coal mine and is like the early warning sign which determines our overall metabolic health and this begins to erode long before, for example,…

Well, I don't count calories and lost 65lbs and have kept it off for over a dozen years and to tell you the truth I rarely encounter studies that focus on calories other than being mentioned if and when the study was a biological comparison. A calorie after all is just a measure of energy and not a measure of nutritional…

I feel your pain and I wish you attain an outcome that resolves your frustration with the foods that are not working for you or your metabolism, it's a common problem and mostly hormonal and hopefully with your team a harmonious solution can be achieved. 😊

Having high blood pressure is like getting hit in the face over and over again where eventually inflammation results and it mostly effects the left anterior descending artery called the "widow maker" not good, and this normally has been in play for years when it is accompanied with obesity and probably 1 or 2 other…

Maybe, but there's actually dozens of metabolic reasons which will and do interact with factors lik lifestyle, genetics, and hormonal systems which not only cause fluctuation from day to day but also intra-day as well. It's a forest and tree thingy going on, zoom out and chill. 😁

So, just trying to be in a caloric defict was too hard and will power wasn't enough and the weight just came back on, but taking Ozempic made him less hungry and he lost weight and when he goes off Ozempic unless he makes healthier food choices the weight will just come back on, as you've indicated and is common knowledge,…

You should be advised that a person can do both, count calories and intermittent fast. 😉

You should be under constant medical supervision with a nephrologist and hopefully a renal dietitian is part of that team, period.

Yes I did, but I also added some chili flakes and pecorino as well. Also some lemon zest.

It's too vague a term really, it can be a good thing or it can be the opposite. Is there something specific you believe is beneficial that your having a hard time committing to?

Tonight is beef carpaccio with a arugula salad with homemade green goddess and stuffed mushroom caps with snails, snail butter and panko. Later on is probably the last time strawberry shortcake will be consumed until next year.

Sounds like you need and should familiarize yourself with eating in a low carb environment.

A piece of salmon and a tomato, red onion and burrata with one of my better olive oils and of course a double espresso and some of that sparling clear stuff.

I love this place. 😃

F1- The movie. It was entertaining.

Yeah, leave it to hormones that's got everyone excited and they don't have to make a lot of changes in their diet either if they don't want to. It's like going to Vegas and leaving a winner. 😄

Yes, all animal protein which is the main source on the ketogenic diet, is where all dietary cholesterol is found. And yes, a lot more tasty in my opinion.

Yeah, I'm low carb/ketogenic as well, it's been a life saver and more importantly for me, a journey of discovery. 😊

Don't take it too personally, I'm sure your intentions were good. The problem is you were vague enough to leave a target on your back. Cheers.

Mmmm, steak calories, love those, they're tasty. 😂

Do some research on Carnivore, you situation is pretty much the classic story where a very high percentage find total relief. 😊
