I understand and I'm sure the OP appreciated your friendly post or at least I know I would! :) But my post was for you because I'm concerned your protein goal is way too low - 90g is the low mark for most IME with 125g-135g of protein being more typical for those eating low carb who need to moderate protein. And many need…

The 50-60g of protein you're aiming for is not moderate. It's low; too low in my opinion for anyone dieting. Limiting meat/whole food sources of protein in favor of almond flour and butter in order to keep your protein low and your fat intake high is not a good trade off from a nutrition stand point. It's not good advice…

It might not be the fiber but specific foods making you sick. A few years back I was eating a lot of plant food and seemingly out of no where foods I've eaten my entire life were upsetting my stomach. Specifically green peppers, carrots and eggs. And pistachios were making my lips tingle. I cut out those foods and then cut…

Do you eat enough meat/protein? It sounds like you're deficient. I don't think a doctor would dismiss your concerns at all -- go see your doctor. :)

LOL I had to laugh at the healthy meals each and every day when half of those days you don't eat. :) Either or carry on and congrats on your weight loss to date. Also, don't be afraid to switch things up if you find what's working for you right now stops working -- many find that after a significant weight loss they're…

Mysterious drug-resistant fungus is quietly sweeping the globe Some scientists cite evidence that rampant use of fungicides on crops is contributing to the surge in drug-resistant fungi infecting humans. Yet as the problem grows, it is little understood by the public — in part because the very existence of resistant…

I'm not actually - novel foods introduced recently are not something I'd consider safe to eat.

Same but if need be I'd be content to order a hamburger patty. Ingredients: 100% USDA inspected ground beef (broiled). That anyone who eats meat would opt to pay more to eat this stuff is a testament to the power of marketing. The food industry is creating a market for this junk in real time the same way they created a…

It's about money not science - in my admittedly jaded opinion - so as soon as it's more profitable to recommend would be my guess... and we are surely reaching that tipping point given the VA is looking to trial keto to save money. But will it matter? My guess is not a lot considering the ADA and similar are still to this…

Beef is the most nutritious food I eat and a staple food so no, of course not. I think they're junk food.

I don't need any but the sweet spot for me is around 10g. That allows for enough food variety (fruit, nuts, vegetables, etc.) to make me happy. I also really like not taking massive kittens twice a day. I can eat a high fiber diet without distress but I prefer not overdoing it on the plant foods these days -- it just feels…
