  • I have one pasteurised egg white per day in my protein drink. After that I eat as many as I want. Some days none, other days maybe six.
  • If she’s doing it the British/ European way the carb total given is net, making it 6g one small slice!
  • I like coconut things fine if they're supposed to taste of coconut. I can abide it though when everything has a faint taste of coconut, so I don't use the oil or the flour. I find the flour quite difficult anyway. Can't ever get the texture right so I've given up and just use almond flour.
  • I've found it's almost a universal rule that anyone who calls themselves "Dr" on YouTube is a chiropractor. Most real doctors either don't mention it or put MD after their name. Here in the UK chiropractors are not well respected in the health service. And although they aren't actually banned from called themselves "Dr"…
  • I go from around 6pm until around 11am. I find it easy and natural. I always drink my coffee black no sugar so I don't have a problem. Jason Fung, of IF fame, says you can have a teaspoon or two of milk or coconut oil in your coffee if you must. He also allows bone broth because it doesn't spike insulin.
  • I had one for lunch today. I think it's the best Keto recipe! Headbanger's Kitchen makes them in a pan and fries an egg on the top too.
  • Shirktaki noodles. Cottage cheese. Can’t abide either if them. The very thought.............
  • My brother and I are living proof that you most definitely CAN be fat and have coeliac disease.
  • This is the recipe I always use now: 1 tbs almond flour, 2 tbs ground flaxseed, 1 tsp psyllium powder, half teaspoon baking powder, 1 egg. I sometimes add nutritional yeast and/or seeds. I make it in the dish I’m going to cook it in. I’ve got a little square dish about the same size as a slice of bread for a sandwich, and…
  • Stuff I don’t buy any more: cakes, biscuits, bagels, buns, bread, ice-cream, fizzy drinks, McDonald’s, crisps, chocolate, sweets, Starbucks super-squidgy-sweetly-sickly-chocolate-caramel-latte thingy, breakfast cereals, “healthy” bars, wine, take-aways, lunch deal from the supermarket. Out the top of my head, I could…
  • I use two tbs almond flour, one of ground flaxseed, (or use three tbs almond flour), teaspoon psyllium, quarter teaspoon baking powder and an egg and use a small square dish so it resembles a slice of bread. 90 secs in the microwave. I sometimes adds seeds /cheese /yeast flakes as the mood takes me.
  • I don't think that a steady 2lb a week weight loss since February is water. Neither is this diet restrictive: i can eat meat, including bacon, sausages, liver and other organ meats, game, fish and sea food, dairy including lots of cheese (parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella, cream, etc), nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruit. I can…
  • Hallo from Wales, Ben. I've looked at your diary trying to find an answer for you. You're keeping your carbs under 50, are you trying to do the keto diet? If you are then I think your protein is way too high. You can go to Keto-calculator.ankerl.com and it will give you numbers for carbs, fat and protein you can input into…
  • isn't it the other way round? A UK size 14 is a US size 12
  • The more refined carbs I eat the hungrier I get. I can't control my appetite at all. So you might be the same. try giving up the cereals, bread, spaghetti etc and see if that makes a difference with you. I notice that you talk about a growling tummy after eating these foods so you might consider whether you have a wheat…
  • thanks, I won't then
  • that's odd! I have a Polar FT4 and I find it correlates well with fitbit but that mfp always estimates far more calories burned than the hrm. One reason I don't eat back my exercise calories! Try having another few goes with it and see what happens. Is there a manufacturer's website for more information?
