My body didnt like the actual diet, and in the end I was ok with that. I was just curious how the powder could keep you in ketosis alone. It just didn't make sense to me. I noticed on the package it had a ridiculous amount of B12 - which is water soluble but still....

Hi y'all! I'm back after a hiatus from MFP, but would LOVE new friends here for support. Spent the last YEAR (thx, Covid) shoving WAYYYYY too much (buttered) popcorn in my face. Oops....
-
I Googled it and all I'm getting are weeks worth of recipes that cost $39.99. It's aggravating, there has got to be somewhere people are finding it for free.... you know?
-
This is a funny question to me because I pondered it just the other day. I measure EVERYTHING but the other day I was craving bread but of course didn't want to gluten myself... then it occurred to me I still had some rice flour in the pantry... an egg in the fridge and some olive oil... some italian seasonings... and…

I recommend another doctor as well. Why poison your body and subject yourself to pain if you pretty much already know your diagnosis? I was never "officially" diagnosed but I tell you what I don't EVER want to deliberately gluten myself so I can feel like he** for a week just to have it officially in my chart. No thanks!

Yes.... gluten reaction. You have to be militant in label-reading or you will pay for it. Everyone is different, but for me I can have trace amounts and not have TOO bad of a reaction.... not the kind that would (typically) make me want to set up my office in my bathroom! Good luck!
-
Maybe so but after a while your fat would decrease and your weight would go down. You can also offset the testosterone imbalance (often caused by weight gain) with progesterone. They sell the cream over the counter. Even when I was thin as a rail I had to be careful at the gym. I have broad shoulders and did not want to…

Be gentle with what you eat.... bland works for me. Also pineapple with cottage cheese always soothes my stomach when I'm feeling "off"... Pineapple with anything, really. It's an anti-inflammatory and just helps you to heal. Good luck!

Virtually all the weight I have lost has been from simply being GF for the past year. Mind you I'm apparently just sensitive and not completely allergic.... I do on occasion eat gluten knowingly but luckily do not have the reactions I used to... I'm quite sure that if I cut it out entirely I would lose more but most people…
-
Yes... find GF flour that you like and make the dough yourself... and put your cheese and veggies and meat (or whatever) on it from there.... actually READING directions was key... cook the crust FIRST... then recook with ingredients on top. Best pizza ever. I am so glad I can have pizza every now and again and it doesn't…

^^ Great answer/observation.....

It takes your stomach 6-24 months to heal, so you're just starting. Stay away from those cookies and protein bars with gluten. You're extending how long it will take your body to heal. I literally felt better at the 6 month mark on the nose. It just takes time.

How much fruit are you eating? The only person I know of that had that happen was a friend that kept eating fruit because she assumed it was healthy but turned out she was eating too MUCH..... If you log your calories here, you will lose. Trust me.
-
Put that cheese in corn tortillas and "pretend".... keep away from the gluten.... you can do it.
-
Nope. I rarely eat GF breads or anything of the sort... I just cut it out altogether. I've lost 25lbs eating "clean".... granted I do eat rice and GF pastas here and there I just don't consume them like I did before I went GF.... simply put I just am really careful with what I put in my mouth and haven't been working out…
-
^^^ THIS. However, I will say BF and I were both "clean" and knew it and have never used protection. He has brought up kids/babies multiple times so I don't think it would be a problem if the latter occurred.....
-
^^^^ THIS.
-
Yeah I have the 24 hour delay as well with symptoms... and yes, they last for a day or two with me as well. I've experienced a very similar issue as you have indicated... not fun. Hope you feel better soon!
-
Let us know how it goes.... and for those that are able to write off the GF food on their taxes... can you post here about what is required to do that? I've been off gluten since October (for the most part, other than finding out accidentally when products do have gluten in them!)... so I guess I would need a doctor…
-
OMG!!! A restaurant that uses pre-made processed sauces? SAY IT ISN'T SOOOOOO!!!! You have first hand experience of this.... second hand, from your FRIEND!!!! GET OUT!!!!!!!!! Your home-made Italian food is better? OH GIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRL share your recipes!!!! If your friends and family say so it must be TRUE!!!!! I…

Stunned... yeah... for him to be blatantly murdered in front of fans at a show is just horrible. Not only do I feel bad for his brother who saw it happen and his family... but all those fans at the show that saw that happen... they will have that event replay in their brains forever. So unfair, so surreal... and to such a…

Returning to add the name of one of the kindest musicians I have ever had the pleasure/honor of meeting.... Dimebag Darrell of Pantera. *RIP*

The Gandolfini family and I shared close mutual friends, so his death was a little too close to home per se. :\

Heh. I know with whom.... :smooched:

I confess I need to..... you know, GET SOME!! That is all. LOL. :)

I think that your alleged "public-figure" life should be the least of your worries....... Just a thought.....
-
Oh yeah. She's out of my life. For good...... The odd thing is she used to ALWAYS say, "You have so many friends, I don't know how you even make time for me".... Blah blah. I make time for EVERYONE. Her loss.
-
Wow... lots of good posts..... In my case (relative to what I posted), my friend requested that I delete her husband from my FB page after knowing him as long as she did!!!!!!! I respected her wishes, but then she took it a step further and said, "Please make sure your friends don't put public posts up of you having fun…
-
Wow, lacroyx..... just... WOW!!!!!! I didn't go into detail of what my "former" friend put me through, but yours takes the cake. What a hot mess "Girl B" is... What are the chances she's cheated on "Mr. 8 Years" and he just hasn't found out yet?
