How do you maintain this??? I like high fat, moderate protein, low carb way of eating. Very satisfying

Atkins lifestyle is very structured and a ketogenic way of eating slowing adding in higher carb vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, dairy, grains and starches. Atkins is good if you need to know how different types of foods affect your well being, energy levels and just how you overall feel. You start out at 20 grams of carbs…

I have done several Whole 30's................ I pretty much am eating that way all the time now. So let's go!!!

Is it possible to schedule with a more progressive Dr that stays up on current trends of treatments for certain disorders? I say this because I have a friend that has PKD and her Dr has put her on a ketogenic way of eating which is high fat, moderate protein, lower carb (carbs from vegetables and fruits) and she is having…

I'm also bi-polar and eating high fat, moderate protein and carbs has allowed me to come off all meds and have even moods. I haven't had to be on meds since getting rid of the packaged foods in which my pDoc and nDoc have told me they can cause changes in brain chemistry due to the food dyes and such that are used in the…

I agree. Nothing is exact anyway..............it is all estimates. A lot of Doctors are telling their patients to skip the scale and formal calorie counting...........make small adjustments and see how your clothes fit. If said clothes are getting tight, your eating too much or eating the wrong foods............if they are…

Nope. I just eat. I don't count, measure, nothing. I cook meat and vegetables, put half veggies, half meat on plate and eat until full. Its called intuitive eating.

That's why the FDA has the Aspartame toxicity file made public when it appeared on the docket to be heard and listed as a neuro-toxin. http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/dailys/03/jan03/012203/02p-0317_emc-000199.txt

Exactly! There are people that live on Meat, fat and water - as close as you can get to ZERO carb and they are thriving.

This whole post is LOL.....................long term ketosis doesn't damage the liver. Indefinite ketogenic eating lifestyles are prescribed by doctors for those that are prone to epilepsy and also dialysis patients. Ketoacidosis is a very serious condition that occurs in diabetics, not a healthy person. Keto is a…

First of all, its not Obamacare. It is the Affordable Health Care Act. This erks me more than anything. Anyhoo, before the AHCA was enacted many insurance companies were doing those incentive programs in regards to smoker vs non-smoker, healthy weight range, etc. How you care for yourself now is a good indication of how…

I eat a high fat, moderate protein, lowish carbs and take Vitex also. The reason we with PCOS have such a hard time losing weight is because of the hormone imbalance. Just be patient, it will happen. Also, I have found that when I get enough sleep I am able to lose weight a bit more easier.

This is reason 1001 as to why vegan lifestyles are not enough to be balanced for good health. There are many deficiencies that come from this lifestyle which leads to depression and other ailments. Why not look into being a Pescetarian?? Its a much more balanced lifestyle and much more sustainable for good health.

I agree. Carbs when diabetic should ideally come from vegetables first and foremost..........then dairy, nuts, fruit........eaten sparingly should be starches and grains. You want to PREVENT damage to your nerves and organs.

Jay Robb protein powder and it tastes wonderful!!

Its due to the fermentation process when the beer is made as to why you don't get the flare ups.

Not everyone that is gluten free eats those products. My household is not lining the pockets of no one but the farmers market and local farmers where we get our raw milk, meat and eggs from.

Because anything vegan similar to butter is going to be margarine................no way around that. And secondly, bread is not vegan.

Wait?? If your vegan, your surely not eating bread that is baked with animal products and perhaps honey???? Every vegan I know says that bread is not allowed due to the use of animal products. And yes, margarine is totally disgusting. Nothing will compare to a nice pat of grass fed butter though. Perhaps you should try a…

That doesn't even sound right................. Why not use the real thing. Using highly processed franken food is not healthy. Why do most vegans think their lifestyle is so superior when it is filled with processed foods??? I can really on respect a vegan that relies on whole foods for nutrition and sustinance.

You are eating carbs. Green vegetables, sweet potato and fruit all contain carbs, so your eating carbs. If you were eating only fat and protein, then your carb count would be negligible, but would still have trace carbs.

This doesn't explain anything, especially since Paleo lifestyle in not inherently a low carb eating plan. It is a WHOLE foods way of eating, not necessarily low carb unless you need it to be that way due to health issues such as Diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. I am in the minority of being a low carb Paleo person. Most…

I believe that most people do it for the taste..............

I never specifically stated my husband eats anything, but stated what he stays away from. And eggs are on his list of acceptable foods that are fructose and sucrose free. I believe in food addiction in *some* people, especially after witnessing my husbands issues surrounding certain foods. Most people are overeating or…

If someone has a true sugar addiction they will binge on anything that contains sugar...............I know. I live with a sugar addict that is not self diagnosed. The mere eating of carrots sends my husband into a downward spiral toward eating anything that contains sugar in it. This included eating spoonfuls of sugar…

Ketosis doesn't require someone to be under 50 carbs per day. The more active a person is, the more carbs they can have and achieve ketosis still. Its recommended that someone that is doing some light walking or no exercise stay under that 50 grams of carbs per day mark.......... I know someone that was in ketosis despite…

Me too

Its a hot tub company and they sold you hook, line and sinker.

Where is that proof???? I have never heard such a thing. That low of protein you will heal very, very slowly from an illness or injury one receives. And that muscle building you spoke about in the original posting...................yeah, not gonna happen with only 8 grams of protein intake. This is a recipe for skinny…

Maybe those things you posted work for you, but not everyone............. I do the complete opposite on some of the things you posted and I am healthier than I have been in a long, long time. The only way to build muscle and boost your metabolism is through strength training. Cardio doesn't boot fat burning power, but…
