I've done a lot of research, and I absolutely look to the science for what I say. Here's a great Pubmed article with some interesting information for you(It really is a fascinating read if you are interested!) : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7539343/ some highlights: Prevalence of obesity around the world…

The lower you can get your carbs, the better the acid reflux is! When my carbs are too high, I know it. I had some big intestinal issues as well, the closer you can eat to single ingredient foods (rather than processed or highly processed), the better your gut is going to feel!

LOL ok Jan. You don't have to agree with me, but let's have a conversation, k? Instead of conspiracy theories about intentions

Hey! thanks for asking! Not a hacked account! I just preferred other tracking programs, but as I've acquired new health tech (Ultrahuman ring), and it integrates with MFP, I decided to look into it again, so that's why the sudden burst of activity on my account! I have been fasting/carnivore/keto since 2016. I was down…

It's ok to fast, I usually eat one meal a day, but I strictly craft it to make sure I'm getting the minimum protein/fat I'm trying to hit. If you have time to eat at 3, eat a small high protein snack before dinner. Make sure dinner is filling enough that you can last until 3 the next day. Sounds like you are doing great,…

I would shift my eating window to when I get up until I go to work, with a meal while there if possible. I don't like eating late/right before bed because I don't sleep as well. Remember, all food is just "nutrition". If you want to have a steak and loaded broccoli for "breakfast" go for it. Look at it as a "meal" instead…

Zero is best for fatty liver. Sorry. I do like an occasional whiskey/scotch, but if you are actively diagnosed with fatty liver I would cut it off for at least 6 months or until your liver enzymes are back to normal.

Be advised that if you are watching sugar in your diet, then you need to get as low to no fruit as possible. All that natural sugar acts just like added sugar. My enzymes were out of whack for a little bit, but I started taking Milk Thistle for liver support, cut carbs to 0 or as close as possible, started walking 30…

Did you know butter is made from cream? When my husband gave up creamer we went to 1-2 T butter in our coffee and whizzed up with a frother. On "special" days I add a touch of heavy cream and 1 packet of LMNT chocolate. A great way to get in my electrolytes, as well as have a treat! But, most of the time for me it's just…

HI! Glad to see you still at it! I think Keto for Lent is an AWESOME idea! Keep the updates coming! I just joined today, but have been keto/carnivore since 2016! There are TONS of recipes on youtube that are pretty simple (I even have a channel that has good meal recipes as well as protein bread, appetizers, etc). Here are…

High HDL is protective for heart health, kidney disease can be be lessened by a low sugar/low carb diet, you get dehydrated because you are not adding in electrolytes. When you lower carbs by eating whole foods, the amount of sodium you get in your diet is greatly reduced (look at the sodium in your processed foods), so…

Coffee with 2 T butter whizzed up in it

hamburger patty with mustard, chicken wings, a steak, salmon, veggies and dip with cheese and sausage (and pork rinds!). Just because it doesn't "look" like breakfast doesn't mean it isn't a great breakfast choice! The other option is skipping breakfast and waiting for lunch.

Yes, he's right. Many drs are now saying that. Fat and protein keep you satiated so you CAN fast longer (because your body is getting the nutrients you need instead of being full but nutritionally starving). Drop your carbs as low as you can, up your protein and fat. Make baby steps and you will see some awesome…

Fasting is not a hack, and is not easy. People who want to lose the fat, fast for that exact reason.

Dr. Fung is a great resource. If you think back to caveman days, they ate when food was around, and didn't when there wasn't any. There is nothing wrong with fasting, it helps bring down your blood sugar (using glycogen stores) and breaking down fat for energy. I don't do OMAD so that I reduce my calorie intake (CICO), but…

Hi Taylor, I'm just beginning here too.... I have done spark for quite a few years, but quit when we got flooded in May. I found this app for my new phone, and thought it looked neat....then I realized about adding exercise also adds more calories to your daily total! That is SOOOO cool! So I will probably use this more…
