Me too, lost around 25 lbs eating 50-80 grams a day. See my avatar photo for the progression--ups and downs, but eventually lost it. Now 3 years later, gained back 5 lbs over the Christmas holidays, sad to say.

Yeah, that lack of search is so annoying. Thanks for the link, the talks are usually good.

Same here. I was less strict over the Christmas and New year holidays and ended up gaining 2 kilos... which have not gone away yet. Lesson learned, I have to cut sugar out completely, otherwise end up bingeing on it.

Since June 2013 -- mostly lchf, under 50-80 gr carbs per day. Sometimes keto levels. I can't handle anything higher than that without hypoglycemia kicking in.

It's been a while since we bumped this :smiley:

thanks for the links!

Great news! kcko, rinse and repeat!

I made konnyaku “rice” in my rice cooker—perfect! 1 cup konnyaku to 2 cups water, added salt.

I just found dried konnyaku rice sold by the kilo on Amazon Japan, and also a konnyaku pasta! happy dance. I will report back after I try cooking with them.... https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B01N42IHNR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1…

I just found these on Amazon in Japan, and it looks like they are pork rinds that need to be deep fried -- do they resemble the microwave type sold in the US? Wondering if I can try that... https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B010A2D0TK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I squeaked by with under 80 total grams yesterday, but was sooo sleepy on the way home. Too much!

Here he is today on Robb Wolf's podcast, going over his lab results. https://robbwolf.com/2018/03/13/episode-385-dr-shawn-baker-carnivore-diet-and-dr-bakers-blood-work/

What @nvmomketo said goes for me most days--except for today, which is "White Day" in Japan, when men give gifts of chocolates to the ladies who gave them some on Valentine's Day. Too much temptation for me to stay below 20 carbs today... (I am lucking out, as I didn't give any of my co-workers chocolates last month!) If I…

Congrats on the improved bone density, if that is what it is! Most women end up losing bone as they age, so you may just be fine. Take a holiday from that pesky scale?

Just got this recipe off a Facebook keto group for pork rind panko (crumbs) keto bread; it sounds great! KETO BREAD Virtually zero carb per slice. I usually double the recipe. Single recipe 5 eggs 3 oz crushed pork rinds (1 package from Bacon's Heir) 1 Tablespoon soft butter 1 Tablespoon baking powder 1 Tablespoon powdered…

Welcome back! Hope things get better soon.

I too have eaten shirataki a few months past the sell-by date, with no problems. ;) I just watched an NHK World program on konnyaku and shirataki -- one small maker is selling "no stink" shirataki to Italian restaurants in Italy, so the world is catching on. The video was only shown on the news, so no link to it, but I…

Yup, very filling! I use them, though find them a bit bland. The sauce is the key. Shirataki is made from the konjac root, and it is the same stuff as in those glucomannan weightloss supplements, which I tried once and found to be not good for my gut... left me bloated. But the noodles don't do that--find it hard to…

I use this Bob's red mill one sometimes, as a treat. I notice that it is a bit addicting... ymmv! https://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-Carb-Bread/dp/B00KQ18MG2?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=ad-backfill-s-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00KQ18MG2

One way to avoid the finger-shaking MFP messages is to not click the green Complete this Entry button! I never do anymore, but still log for my own records though.

Daisy Brackenhall just put up her Seed and Nut loaf, looks dense and yummy: https://www.ketogenicforums.com/t/seed-nut-loaf/12636

I think it depends on why you are doing this way of eating. If you are aiming to lose weight, aim for lower carbs than 70 gr per day, and set moderate protein and eat fat to satiety -- ie, until you feel satisfied, but not overfull. You can set your macros using online calculators to start, then tweak as you see how you…

On the weekend, I made this LC bread in my breadmaker to use up some old rye flour, combined with Bob's Red Mill baking mix (which contains vital wheat gluten). I seem to be ok with it so far! Carb count is a bit high so am not repeating this too soon. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/view/243960059366829

Asahi Shimbun did a (lightweight) report on that too: http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201801170053.html

I found an old low carb recipe book by Dana Carpender that had bread recipes calling for vital wheat gluten, and tried some. It does hold the bread together better, but then I discovered that gluten makes my joints hurt... :'( She reviewed "Wheat Belly" on her blog, and describes why she changed her recipes to avoid it.…

Or install one of these (dreaming): https://www.houzz.jp/photo/578692 Mine is more like this one:

Take a look around at this website http://cholesterolcode.com/infographic-of-prediction-experiment/ Dave Feldman is a geek who loves researching the reasons for his high cholesterol -- he is an "outlier" hyper responder who has higher than normal cholesterol after going keto. He found that if you eat really high calories…

I wonder if this is another factor in why most Japanese are slimmer -- the tradition (in my family here and for many people still) is to heat a deep (neck-high while sitting crosslegged) ofuro bath at night, and the family takes turns soaking (after washing off before getting in). It is usually 40 deg Celsius, and most…

This is good advice -- I do best when I bring in lchf foods for lunch and keep them in the work fridge: no temptation to eat carby stuff on the fly. Congrats on your weight loss! kcko
