Nice headlines! but in tabloids, so who will listen?

I went through the same thing as a kid -- didn't actually eat a mince tart till I was in my 30s, I recall. Now love them, but they are waaaay too carby to consume on LCHF! :(

Check out the Launchpad entry on the addons for net carbs: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10348436/enhancing-mfp-displays-for-low-carb#latest

Yesterday was my birthday -- I was so tempted to eat more treats just because "it's my birthday!!" but managed to survive with just one low carb beer. No cake! this is a nsv for me...

oishi-so! Love scallops.

I remember in the late 1980s, a fritolay commercial with Jay Leno where he quoted that line, "Eat all you want. We'll make more!" and thinking, yeah right. What a scam. Chips are addicting!

I just googled "Atkins shakes sweetener" and found this site: http://www.livestrong.com/article/360206-glucerna-shake-vs-atkins-shake/ where it says "the Atkins shakes are sweetened with acesulfame-potassium and sucralose". Both acesulfame-potassium (Ace-K) and sucralose affect people differently, so pay attention to your…

Here is another thing to ponder: do you live with potted plants? in an old house? there could be dust and mold all around that just add to the problem. A friend said her whole family felt much better after she got rid of her potted indoor plants. I am allergic to dust, but live in an old wooden house. I can't get away from…

Me too. I find that when I go off LC and eat carbier foods, I bloat up and start to crave more... not a good thing.

Andy, maybe you should take a look at the Launchpad list of books on keto/lchf diets to read up on the process. In a nutshell, though, high intake of good fats is satiating and they feed your brain function, among other things. If you eat more protein than your body uses, the rest gets converted to glucose in the blood and…

interesting ... I need to eat more CO!

You can do it! I have been logging daily for about 2 years :) If you miss a day, you can go back and fill in the log, then reset your counter. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/login_counter_reset_request

great idea! does it work?

That would be me! Through the week, I try to do as low carb as I can for breakfast and lunch, because I know that dinner, which is cooked by my husband and waiting when I get home at 9pm, will be mostly stir fried veggies, with some protein on top. Take a look at my diary if you want. He starts with a standard recipe of…

It is the first entry in the Recipes section of the Launchpad ... was it in there before or just added? It is the Linda's Low Carb site, I used to subscribe to her newsletter on the About site. Really good stuff there!

My diary is open to the public, but as I live in Tokyo some of the foods I eat may be different, esp. the veg. And I am in maintenance mode now.

Hi and welcome to the group -- you are in the right place. Have you found our launchpad with all the links and advice for LCHF? look here and post any questions anytime. Lots of keto folks in this group. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10103966/start-here-the-lcd-launch-pad#latest Yes to the salt intake, as…

I too have been inspired by Jimmy, though his ads annoy, but hey, a guy's gotta make a living. I fast forward through them on the app most of the time. I was really irked when I first started listening, but have gotten used to the bad puns... Have tried listening to various other podcasters and find that he is one of the…

I make my own full-fat kefir, and drink it in a smoothie for breakfast with Isopure protein powder (lc) and about 20gr frozen blueberries. If you look at my diary, you can see the carb counts. I log it with a member supplied entry called "Homemade - Whole Milk Kefir" that logs 6 carbs per cup... dunno how accurate it is.…

Dana Carpender's Fat Fast Cookbook comes highly recommended: http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Fast-Cookbook-Recipes-Weight-ebook/dp/B00BGGBE20 I have only done one weekend fat fast/IF and it did help me lose after a stall. One caveat I have read about IF in general (not a short-term fat fast) is to make sure that you eat your…

good post. I just hit my 1,000th day of logging in a row, and I would not have done it without this group! (and a workplace that lets me read it in between real work...)

The 48% butterfat cream I buy in Tokyo does this after sitting in the fridge for a week or two... I just scrape it all up with a spoon and eat it if no one is looking... :) or just stir it in my coffee. oooh, lambies! post a picture or two?

I live in Japan and beans are nearly unavoidable... so I do eat them. Tofu, natto, edamame etc., mostly. They increase your carb count, but also add protein.

Good for you, Betsy! kcko!

I made these on the weekend, used a mini muffin silicon pan, and stuck them in the freezer. Yummy. http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/cream_cheese_clouds.html

I saw this recipe last year, but have not tried them. It has been literally decades since I tasted one of the original Cadbury eggs, so maybe it is time to try it. :p http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2014/03/copycat-easter-cream-eggs-low-carb-and-gluten-free.html

I make a smoothie with Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey - Chocolate, homemade kefir and 1/4 cup frozen blueberries for breakfast. With a bpc.

LOL, only when you start eating that dastardly carbage again. I have a pet theory that all the violence in the world could easily be ended if we could only get everyone on this way of eating! As to what ailments I had that are now gone: --improved Hba1c, bg, HDL, LDL etc markers across the board (total cholesterol is…
