One year and 2 weeks here. Down 60.5 pounds.

I had one bite of my shiratake noodles and threw 3 bags of them out. But, others like them.

So day 10 LF-HC results: Up over 10 lbs, and he his waist has grown by 5 cm. http://live.smashthefat.com/5000-calorie-carb-challenge-day-10/ On LC-HF in 21 days he gained less than 3 lbs, and lost 3 cm on his waist.

I think it's best that my coaches never learn about this. It sounds like some crazy reverse burpee where instead of standing, you end up in a handstand pushup.

We've never done these at my box. What are they?

Silica??? What the heck??? That's the stuff in the little packets that they add to products to absorb moisture. Seriously? They are adding that to food?!? Hmmm... Looks like it's an anti-caking agent so it doesn't clump. There are some websites claiming health benefits of it. It's on the Internet so it must be true. I'm a…

Seiously? Reason 5,290 that I hate TSA. How the F is that a cream or liquid??? Oh.... Wait.... Must have been CREAMy, and not chunky. Thy didn't even blink at the Jiff to Go stuff I had. I also took bulletproof coffee mixers in little portion cups (fortunately, these are solid at room temp). Those didn't trigger anything…

Exercise for fitness, Nutrition for weight loss. My personal opinion is that you do not need to exercise to be successful. You have to decide what the goal is. If the goal is exclusively to lose weight, not exercising may actually be faster. If the goal is to lose body fat while becoming fit, then do exercise - but you…

Target actually had little individual squeeze packs of a few nut butters. They were out of the almond butter, but I thought that was a really cool option. I did buy "Jiff to go" packs. They are a bit higher in carbs, but they hit the spot for me, and I figure as a travel substitute that keeps me from eating other non-plan…

He's halfway thru, on day 10. http://live.smashthefat.com/5000-calorie-carb-challenge-day-10/

Still my favorite keto dessert!!!

the app MyWOD has a bunch of travel WODs which are basically this.

It's pretty meaningless. It seems like a measurement that is used to determine if people are obese or overweight should have been based on body fat.

Ae you doing keto sweets? Or real sugar sweets?

MFP has a low carb form, and a keto forum you may want to check out. The main message boards tend to be anti low carb. It's viewed as an unhealthy fad diet. Unless you follow it. Then it's a whole lot of awesome, with a side of bacon and cream. Internationally low carb has some support. Just this week - "Swedish health…

I still have lots of treats. Dark chocolate is a good one (ghiradelli 86% dark is a good option - they are individually packaged - use in moderation). I also used coffee with heavy cream and sweetener for my sweet tooth. My preferred sweetener is truvia and Zsweet. Both are a blend of erythritol and stevia. Liquid stevia…

Use the calculator that I posted. It has the protein calculation built into it. I think the recommendation is .8-1 gram of protein per lb of lean body mass. But I usually use the keto calculator and use the minimum level that it identifies. Sour cream, mayo, fatty cuts of meat vs lean cuts, heavy cream, eat pecans and…

I've bought a bunch of cookbooks. I have to admit that the only one I've really used is "The Fat Fast Cookbook" by Dana Carpender (now available in print!). I have two of the George Stella cookbooks. Interesting to look at, but for whatever reason, I just never made anything. Outside of that, I get a lot of my recipes from…

So the reality is that much of the initial losses that people experience on low carb ARE primarily from water weight losses. Every gram of glycogen in your body holds 3-4 grams of water. So just by eliminating carbs, you typically drop 4-5 pounds of mostly water weight. The longer term fat losses come from the way low carb…

In the video she says that her carbs come from leafy green veggies like kale and spinach. She identifies that she is 10-12% body fat.

Yes, I tried. I assume you mean the official bulletproof executive coffee. I didn't notice a difference. But, I don't know of mycotoxins are something that makes you feel noticeably ill right away, or do they just erode away your health without you having a clue. I don't know. This site has good info.…

I'm traveling out of country for about a week. Here's what I'm doing. Nuts. I have individual portions of Netrition Nuts in a couple varieties, plus Cocoa Almonds. I also bought some Jiff individual portions. I also have Ghiradelli 86% dark chocolate squares. Also a couple of bars of Lily's Chocolate. And my absolute…

Ha! My hubby just laughed at this and agreed.

I take Lily's chocolate or nuts.

For some this would not be a deterrent from eating carbs. :drinker:

That is freaking hilarious!

That's funny.

I kind of want a big mac and fries now.

I think most of these are gone from Fast Food. So the story is that McDonalds and most of the Fast Food industry all used to use Beef Tallow (yay! Healthy saturated fat!) . The CSPI (Center for Science in the Public Interest) pressured the industry to change away from those dangerous animal saturated fats over to…
