Great documentary, the only problem I see is that his diet appears to be rather high protein instead of moderate like keto should be, not that he's doing keto. But, he and the athletes in the film, are very active so they don't want to lose muscle mass and can probably use the higher protein. Just hate for normal folks…

Yes, have your doctor order up a VAP Cholesterol Test. In one blood test my doc said my LDL as a little above average so I asked him to order a VAP test. The results came back and it showed most of the LDL was the big fluffy kind of cholesterol that isn't usually associated with heart disease, the small dense kind is. So…

I use Mio in water for a zero carb drink. I also squirt some Cherry flavored Mio into Diet Coke/Pepsi to turn it into Diet Cherry Coke/Pepsi. A nice change when out since most places don't sell Diet Cherry Cola (though you can get it in grocery stores). But if you don't want to drink diet soda, I assume carbonated water…

Just tested this with a friend, she blew 0.0 BAC so it appears to be working. I blew after that and blew 0.14 BAC. I forgot which one I got from Amazon.com but you gotta get these cheap ones because the 'good' ones don't detect acetone from ketosis on the breath, they only detect alcohol.

I bought a nice breathalyzer on Amazon.com but it was a good one and it didn't register breath acetone at all, only alcohol so I returned it. Seems like this cheap one does the trick. I'm meeting-up with a friend tommorrow and hopefully she hasn't had any drinks and isn't doing keto, I'm going to get her to blow into it…

That happened to me when I lost an un-godly amount of weight in a short period of time. Went from like over 200 to about 160 pounds, was losing something like 3-5 pounds a week. I was enrolled in The Biggest Loser website and we had a weight loss competition in there. I lost one round and was determined not to lose a…

Hash Brownies, Large Lou Malnati's Pizza, Rootbeer Float. With about a one-hour gap between the first item and the rest.

I've met plenty of famous and semi-famous folks since I'm a photographer. Most famous probably was Bob Hope or Neil Simon. Got to hang with the members of Journey (Steve Perry days), James Taylor, Loretta Lynn & her sister Crystal Gale, Ken Griffey Jr, OJ Simpson (pre-incident), Michael Dell, Bill Gates (I stood next to…

Instagram Username: MediaBaron Once in awhile I post non-keto food photos since I'm around folks cooking sometimes. Oh, and there was that trip to Chicago where I scarfed down some deep dish pizza...but I worked it off and ended up losing three pounds that week so go figure.

Make sure you drink enough water. Dark ketostix can often mean you're not drinking enough. You need that water to flush your system. Flush that fat out. You only need to test like once a day at most.

Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or White Chocolate & Raspberry since both aren't as tough as the normal Quest bars. Or I just make my own fake Quest bars. If you have an Amazon Prime account you can get free shipping on Quest bars, or if you order directly from Quest you can get free shipping using the coupon code 'hero'…

I believe if you use the coupon code 'SAMPLE' on the Quest website they'll do free shipping. Might even work for non-sample boxes. The taste and texture improves 100% if you heat them for a few seconds in the microwave. Otherwise they're like eating a tough Tootsie-Roll bar. Make sure you don't have any loose fillings or…

Aloha Jen, I'm going through my second round a Couch to 5K training. I already went through it once but I'm such a slow runner that I figured I'd do it again but pick-up the pace this time. It's kicking my butt and I signed-up for a 5K race in March. I've never done a race before but in college I was a running fool (not…

I've got a mayonnaise jar full of bacon fat so since I was experimenting today (made crispy bacon+peanut butter+Lindt 85% chocolate treat) I took a bottle of good vodka I have, maybe about 3/4 Cup worth and made some bacon infused vodka using the bacon fat. I've had a Bacon Martini before at the Double Down Saloon in Las…

On Reddit one person mentioned that if you use up the little bottle of Mio, rinse it out, put two of the tubs of Crystal Light into it (yes, those tubs that make a pitcher) and add water. Now all you have to do is squeeze a little bit of the mixture into a glass of water. Cheaper than buying Mio, though it does have a few…
-
I've been adding Mio to my water to make it taste better, granted I probably use half the strength they recommend. I haven't had extra cravings for sweet stuff. I've been dropping at least 2 pounds a week. I'm doing keto and have been in ketosis no problem. But everyone is different and others may have a problem with any…

Usually over easy, pepper on it and splashes of hot sauce when it's on the plate (Cholula, Tabasco or rooster sauce) and a little bit of sharp cheddar cheese. Or scrambled Gordon Ramsey style or scrambled normally with a sprinkle of green onions mixed in. Or an omelette with all the good stuff in it, sour cream, hot sauce.

Again, some advice as a photographer. With wide-angle lenses, if you're on the edge of a photo you will be stretched horizontally. When someone wants a group photo with a wide-angle try to stay near the center, you'll look skinnier.

I'm a photographer. Sometime the photo catches the person in a bad position that just makes them look heavier, or face/body look distorted, coloring wrong, shadows fall the wrong way, etc. Toughest is if the person is on the edge of a wide-angle photo which makes them look even wider, this is why photographers use…

I'm doing my 2nd run tomorrow for Week #3. The first week I was wasted running that 1 minute, I think my pace was probably too fast which got me into trouble. This third week even though two of the runs are 3 minutes long it doesn't seem as bad as I keep a slower pace, I'm getting used to it and there are only four runs.…

A 300+ pound person on Reddit just posted this about going to the gym amongst the ultra-fit. http://tinyurl.com/7rk4c3l If you have questions about the gear just ask the staff. If you need a trainer usually there are contacts listed on info boards at many gyms. There's no need to be embarrassed, as they know you're there…

Fun time cooking tonight. Cooked 'The Perfect Steak' ala Gordon Ramsey and made a half-dozen Coconut Flour Biscuits for future eats. http://imgur.com/Bi4Fz Sirloin steak, medium rare http://imgur.com/nNUXu Coconut Flour Biscuits, about 1g net carbs each (they're about the size of a good sized cookie) Biscuit recipe here:…

Some Sirloin Steak I had last week. Might make it again tonight or tomorrow night. http://i.imgur.com/Swajk.jpg Okay, how do you embed photos in this forum?
