    in Suggestions for Pork Rinds Comment by danamcox August 2017
  • I was missing chips and dip last weekend, so I substituted bbq pork rinds and sour cream. Unlike potato chips, I got full from the pork rinds shortly after I started. Satisfied the craving and it was pretty darn good, to boot. I do not like eating plain pork rinds either (unless they are crushed and used as breading for…

  • I have been having the same problem for about 6 months or so (started low carb last August). I noticed while I was on vacation in early May and not "dieting," there was much less hair falling out in the shower. So, after posting here and reading the responses and articles on low carb and hormonal imbalance, I have upped my…

  • In February 2012, I was in my doctor's office and he noticed that my blood pressure was really high. He looked back in my chart and saw that it has always been high and said to me, "You're on BP medication, right?" I said, "No." He asked if I had ever had an EKG in his office. I said, "No." (I was a relatively new patient…

  • My thyroid was "normal" in September. But with these relatively new developments, I guess I should get another set of tests run and ask them to focus on my hormones. Thanks for your input!

  • Thank you all for your thoughtful responses. I had read the paleoforwomen article, but not the others. Sounds like I may need to up my carbs (and perhaps protein) a bit to balance what hormones I have left. Hopefully, I can figure out all the numbers so that I can lose these last 41 pounds AND keep my hair in the process!…

  • Hubby and I just went to a buffet Friday night (to avoid fast food) on our 3.5 hour drive to visit our son and his family before he is re-stationed to England -- they are leaving tomorrow. We were told that the buffet was closing in 40 minutes, so we grabbed plates and circled the food stations. For dinner, I ended up with…

  • I have lost 3 pounds since I posted four days ago -- this is why I love keto! I forgot to mention at that time that I, too, intermittent fast (16/8) and have changed my macros since August a few times (starting with 65% Fat/25% Protein/10% Carb). I am finding that 75/20/5 seems to be working well for me -- at the moment.
    in Older women on keto? Comment by danamcox December 2013
  • I am 49 and my husband is 53. We have been low carb for the past four months. I have lost a total of 20 pounds (w/o much exercise), which is much slower than the 45 pounds I lost in the previous six months doing low cal (w/exercise), and he has lost 26 (w/out exercise). More than a few times I seriously thought about…

  • Keep Budweiser 55 Select (1.9 carbs) and Michelob Ultra (2.6 carbs) on hand for beer cravings. In fact, my husband and I have pizza and beer Friday nights, substituting Flat-Out Flatbread pizza and ultra beer for our usual Papa John and regular beer (or wine). Feels like cheating, but it isn't!
    in This is so frustrating! Comment by danamcox December 2013
  • Good topic. Just started thinking about Thanksgiving this past weekend. My husband and I are doing Atkins and decided that we would incorporate both low carb dishes and traditional fare. For us, we will serve mashed cauliflower, our usual cheesy broccoli with fried onions on top, take a stab at a keto giblet gravy I saw…
