Report her for harassment. Other sites have the ability to block an entire IP address. Not sure why MFP doesn't do this.

I think this Mark's Daily Apple article has some relevance: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dairy-intolerance/#axzz2cX5JpZxE It's definitely a YMMV thing. (Mark is not Keto, he's Primal; but there is a lot of overlap).

Really interesting thread. Thanks for having posted this! Here's some more food for thought ;-) I'm 5'5", SW=231; CW=177; GW 141 (I think - it's a moving target). I've done low carb since Sept 2012 - target macros are 70% fat, 5% carbs, 25% protein. I do crossfit 3-5 x per week. I use TDEE-20%, but I enter data for…

Are you logging? Can you isolate which food(s) may be the cause? For me, heartburn is tied to acidic foods. It was much worse before low carb, but I still have occasional issues if I hit things that are highly acidic (marinara for me is a trigger). Just looked at your diary. Your carbs are still relatively high (although…

I saw a link to this article on another MFP thread this weekend. It discusses the changes your body makes in order to preserve energy when you undereat. The little video embedded in the article answers the question you are asking. http://www.leighpeele.com/starvation-mode

If you aren't logging, then you don't really know what you are consuming. Your calories consumed could be more than you think; or you could be significantly under eating, and impacting your metabolism. No way to know without logging. The scale also may show a higher number, but that doesn't mean this is body fat that has…

Just saw that you are 5'10". 1100 calories is not right. Please calculate your TDEE and set a HEALTHY calorie target so you don't damage your metabolism in your quest for healthiness. Always eat at LEAST at your BMR. Otherwise, your BMR will drop and it will be that much more difficult to lose weight - and ever so easy to…

Maybe - but truthfully, the closer you are to goal, the slower your losses will be. That's silly. You will be eating sufficient protein to maintain muscle mass. (that said, if your calories get too low -- 1100? -- you could lose muscle mass). I started at 231 pounds with roughly 51% body fat (roughly 113 pounds muscle…

Saving for later

We've been doing bulletproof coffee since January. Initial recipe was 1.5 TB Kerry gold + 1 TB coconut oil (plus the cocoa powder). The we transitioned to 1.5 TB butter, 1/2 TB coconut oil, 1/2 TB MCT. Now we are doing 1.5 TB butter, 1 TB MCT. I think since we transitioned slowly, I didn't notice a big shift with…

It depends on where they are. For someone who is skeptical, and not like to put in much effort - I'd go with watching Fathead. For someone who just wants to get started, "The New Atkins for a New You". This provides meal plans and quickly gets you going. For someone that wants to understand why it works:: "The Art and…

I truly have no idea, but maybe you can get some ideas from Reddit.... http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/search?q=Indian&restrict_sr=on http://www.reddit.com/r/DesiKeto

^^ THIS ^^

(Sorry ahead of time, as I'm not answering your question). Have you considered going higher fat? I follow keto which is low carb, high fat, moderate protein. I target 70% fat / 25% protein / 5% protein. I don't think I'd have survived almost a year doing this if I were eating lean meats. Cooking my pork chop in butter, or…

I'm not as selective on the broth. You can also make it from bullion. I usually buy the stuff in the carton (probably Swanson). We sometimes make ours too, but that's more of a winter thing.

Sorry - not diabetic, but... You bring up that you feel tired and ill when doing low carb. Are you supplementing key minerals, like sodium, potassium, and magnesium? Fatigue, headaches, even dizziness are all symptoms of sodium deficiency. Low Carbers excrete sodium, and need to supplement. A cup or two of salty chicken…

I'd recommend entering this as a "recipe" in MFP and see where this falls for macros. The goal is to maximize fat and minimize carbs (and negligible protein). Not sure where hazelnuts fall in that spectrum. (If they are reasonable, I think you are potentially looking at a NUTELLA fat bomb).

Keto is Low Carb, Moderate Protein, High Fat Meat is not a requirement, but you do need to eat sufficient protein to ensure that you do not lose muscle mass. MOST of your calories though, should come from fat. I like this keto calculator to help identify my protein - fat - carb targets. http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/…

Both Amazon and Bed, Bath and Beyond carry the Aerolatte. We have one at home, and both the husband and I also have a "travel Aerolatte" at work. The only difference is that the travel Aerolatte has a case.

Coconut oil is solid at room temp, whereas these are liquids. I'm guessing you would not get a good result with this substitution. Butter might work though. .

I've lost 51 pounds following keto for the last 10 months. Love the food, and I find it wonderfully sustainable. Most of the low carbers stick to those forums, and avoid the main message boards. In general, the main message boards are not supportive toward this lifestyle. You may not get a lot of responses for that reason.

16 tbsp per cup. Maybe different brands are different? I use Dairyland, which shows 7 g per cup.

I think it's a low level, but there is some nominal amount. Something like 7 g per cup of cream, or .44 g per tbsp. You probably should count 1 g per every 2 tbsp used. If you're in a pinch a need something low cab, high fat - stop at Starbucks. They can make drinks with heavy cream. This is great for travel emergencies at…

I made that cheesecake a few weeks ago. It. Is. AWESOME. I did feel that it would be improved with a thinner brownie - the almond meal brownies have a drier, more crumbly texture vs a traditional brownie. So increasing the ratio of cheesecake to brownie I thought might give a slight improvement. That said - my comments are…

I did a post a while back on Lyle McDonald's book "A guide to Glexible Eating" which has some good info on refeeds. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/989904-flexible-dieting-by-lyle-mcdonald-and-the-free-meal?hl=McDonald+flexible#posts-15272761 Also - this article from Mark's Daily Apple.…

Tried them. Hated them. Threw them away. Blech.

I've seen a few articles on this. I think the key is that you have to be keto adapted, which can take 2-3 weeks of keto to achieve. Once your body is using fat for fuel, you have much greater stores of energy available to you for endurance activities. Check out the book "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance"…

I think this is a crazy, nutty idea. That said, there are a bunch of equally crazy, nutty folks on reddit that do this. http://www.reddit.com/r/vegetarianketo/ Best of luck.

Caveman Keto created a great meal plan. Lots of recipes here as well. http://cavemanketo.com/keto-meal-plan/

Never had this. What recipe are you following? (the official BPC recipe, or a variant with cream, non grass-fed butter, coconut oil, etc)
