Sorta' seems like nobody has directly addressed your specific questions, and not that I'm an expert, but I'll give it a go. People have mentioned it is not zero carb, so you will have to make some slight adjustments in your diary if you're eating tons of it. But, yes, I think that being said you *can* eat as much as you…

Paleo/Primal is completely different from Keto/LCHF (Low Carb, High Fat), and you may want to research Keto/LCHF, but in a nutshell, it's difficult to answer your question. There are all kinds of calculators for the macro goals (macro nutrients being carbohydrates, protein and fat). If you're being told to eat more…

Yup, this! I live in a small town, too, but this has not happened to me. We would have to be already chatting it up for a guy to even offer to buy. I think it's very situational - depends on the person, the circumstances, what was exchanged already, my relationship (since this assumes a committed relationship), etc, etc.…

Wow, just reading through this got me riled up! I'm so glad you posted an update and found a doctor who found the issue! It really interests me because since I got my heart radiated, I've noticed I can hear it pounding quite loudly, especially at night, but at other times, too. I'm pretty sure, just instinctively, that…

I'm IN! Reddit really sucks if you ask me - I can't figure any of it out. So, yes, better organization is needed badly! There may not be enough demand for it, but I think a section at least dedicated to Keto for specific problems would be good (in my case, Cancer/metabolic problems, but others like Diabetes and Epilepsy).…

Woot, woot, congrats!!! Yeah, docs, man! Don't they really get to you sometimes?! I'm lucky to have an open-minded doc, but his type is uber rare!!! Way to go!

What's the MW? Way to go on not fretting; it's early; hang in there. Keto really becomes a breeze if you let it. Not that you can go by my food diary ATM!! ;) I'll get back to it. I ordered my blood meter today! Woot, woot! Your fat bomb sounds good except for the cocoa to me... maybe vanilla would do it for me. Mmmm.

Hi! Thank you for the input! I had to add organic heavy whipping cream to my list! Yumm!

Oooooh crepes_ - you know I love all your ideas!!! Thank you bunchez!!!

Hi! Thanks! I'm allergic to chocolate, but the protein bread sounds great!

Hi Deborah105, Awesome recipe which I can easily mix up various flavors - mmmmm - I'm getting excited to start back on this now!! Thank you very much!!

Hi Deb, Thanks for reaching out. I so wish I could control myself with things like dried mangos in small portions, but no such luck for me - I'm an extremist, all-or-nothing kinda' gal, but mmmmmmmmmm, those are SO delicious!!! I seriously can eat half a Costco bag in one sitting, easily! Thank you for your kind words - I…

kiramaniac - you rock!!! Thank you for such a detailed response. This is exactly what I need! I've added everything to my list, and I'm feeling much better about making the leap as soon as I have the supplies. So, as far as the meters, I guess it boils down to bottom line cost on the strips - do you think the Canadian…

Hey, yes, thank you! That site has a list of all the various meters and compares them, too. Great! Do you know if yours reads BHB acid levels? I was told this is absolutely the only way to really know your levels of Ketosis. I don't fully understand it all, but since you have a meter, maybe you do?

Hi :flowerforyou: I'm stage IV breast cancer with bone and liver mets. They're telling me I'll never be "finished" with treatments, so I don't have that specific info for you, but I will say that I'm really stoked to have an onc who checks my blood regularly (usually weekly) for all kinds of things including vitamins and…

Did you use the Keto calculator for your macros? The only thing I can see, and it may be spot on (idk), is that the protein to fat ratio seems high to me. I'm doing Keto for cancer so I focus on the high fat part quite a bit (I need to do better!). Maybe just check your macros with the calculator.

I'm coming in late here as it seems you got your answers, but since I'm here...I looked at your diary for one day only and it seems the macros are not set to what you quoted here last...in particular, the protein to fat ratio looks really high on the goals that I can see, but what you quoted above sounds good!! From what I…

This is pretty old, but I have a port, and mine hurts quite a bit, but my doc is always teasing it's because I have no cushion. I can say confidently last year when I was working out pretty hard, it never hurt worse or anything. It hurts me when people hug me tight or if I'm a passenger in a vehicle, the seatbelt rubs it,…

Stage IV breast cancer with bone and liver mets. Still in active treatments, and I'm one tough cookie!! I see there are lots more here, too. Awesome!

Hi! Welcome! Feel free to friend me. I'm not out of the woods... stage IV breast cancer with bone and liver mets... BUT I'm a really tough cookie, and I'd be happy to support your progress here. :)

Hi Michael, (again!) :smile: Yes, me, too. I have all the data from April to now, including a plethora of blood work and scans, and I very much need to go back and chart it all (diet, blood, exercise, scans, supplements, feelings), and I want to see it in spreadsheet form but also in a visual timeline chart where I can see…

Oh, and I forgot to mention most people use this diet just for losing weight, not to fight cancer. I don't want to lose weight, but I keep losing because I'm on the strict diet and honestly, I can't eat enough of these foods to add up the caloric intake to keep my weight up. It may sound impossible at first, but I've found…

Hi, I'm new to MFP, but not new to cancer. Only new to the cancer metastasizing throughout my skeletal system (bone cancer) and liver. Along with radiation, chemo, removal of ovaries and oral chemo, I'm also doing this special cancer diet that starves cancer cells. I hope I can put a link here to a video that's very…
