I don't know if you like coffee but you'd probably be shocked how bulletproof coffee (or tea) (coffee/tea, half & half, MCT oil) with a couple scoops of hydrolyzed collagen protein added to it will give you mental alertness, and a feeling of being full for a long time. (you will need to mix it with like a milk frother to…

I'm back and ready. Feel free to add me too.

Just what I was looking for. I have to lose 30 lbs and I want to be bikini ready by June, basically Memorial Day. That's very challenging. Today was my first workout in months and it was tough but I got through it. I know what I can do and would love to join your group.

Sounds like my kind of breakfast. Today, bacon and eggs with cheese and butter. I'm low carb, high fat too. Not just for diet but for life style. It's what my body likes. I love carbs. I have at least one day a week I'll have a normal meal that includes higher carbs (I don't go crazy), and I also like to keep it within my…

Actually, having carbs occasionally helps to trigger fat mobilization by releasing hormones if done in a planned way as opposed to a triggered event. The body naturally uses carbs for energy (if you are not fat adapted), and we can cause the body to adapt in weird ways if you don't occasionally feed it some carbs,…

https://www.fitbit.com/user/48BDRG Looking forward to meeting Alta users. I have the Alta HR.

I've been using my Fitbit Charge HR for about four months now. I love it. I'm particularly interested in the HR. I've always guessed how many calories I've burned while weight training and now I just wear my Fitbit and I have a reasonable idea. Also, I've found the heart rate info very helpful. I noticed after training two…

Thank you! Couldn't have said it better myself. I've been on and off low carb for about 2 years and I've found that my body loves low carb even if I want to have a dessert or something like that every now and then, which I do on designated days. I tried to go back to low-fat and regular American diet and I quickly became…

I do low carb dieting protocol and have found that my body prefers it. Basically, I eat meat and prepare a great vegetable dish every day. I toss in a protein shake and I'm good. But it's true what one of the posters said, eat less calories, based on your BMR and TDEE calculations and you'll lose. I still have to log all…

I think some people post topics just to see how people just get carried away like a runaway freight train. It's probably not even true. And if true, there are other problems I don't want to think about.

The following program by Jim Wendler is the most powerful you can find: http://www.amazon.com/Simplest-Effective-Training-Strength-Edition/dp/B00686OYGQ/ref=tmm_pap_title_0

Excellent references. Interesting read.

The elliptical. When I do 30 minutes I have burned 500 calories with a gradual increase to level 10 intensity.

We don't buy and put up our 13-14 ft. tree until a couple days before Xmas. And it is so much work, it stays there no later than the last week in January (for garbage pickup), otherwise I'll have to dispose of it myself. Some of my neighbors still have the lights lit on the outside and the I still see trees lit in windows.

This will be helpful. I was trying to figure this out as well and I did some research and came upon this site and I printed it out. It's better than guessing. http://www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com/protein-chart.html 200 grams of steak is 7 oz. Each ounce of steak is 8 grams of protein, therefore 200 grams (7 oz) of steak…

Great info!!

eastern european, like serbian or polish but mixed with middle eastern.

I was just looking for a Paleo crab cake recipe. Thanks, sounds just right! :happy:

I once was on a diet that any kind of rice was allowed. White rice, brown, jasmine, basmati. Also, you could eat potatoes. But you couldn't eat any gluten, dairy, sugar and kept fat to a minimum. I would eat about 1-1/2 cup of rice a day, more on days I worked out. The weight came off very easily. You could eat a lot of…

Come on...you can't wipe treats off the face of the earth and obesity is related to food addiction and other health/psychological issues. Most people don't overeat treats. They're treats. We all have to learn balance and that has more to do with understanding food and how it affects your body's health. Everyone on this…

The Total Gym is awesome. You can get a total body workout and it's your own body weight that provides the intensity at various inclines. There are hundreds of workouts that you can do on this thing that won't impact you knees at all. It's an amazing piece of equipment.

I've never had any problems with diary. But I don't drink cow's milk because of the carbs but I do have heavy cream in my BP coffee. And cheese in my dishes occasionally. I've never been one for eating cheese and crackers but will have it. My problems are with wheat or gluten. I was thinking about not eating dairy at all…

All of us want this unwanted weight to get off of us right now, immediately. We'd like to dismiss it into the waste basket like a balled up candy wrapper. You're not doing anything wrong. The problem that "develops" over time from yo-yo dieting is insidious. Each time, you lose and gain it back NEW fat cells are born. That…

Well this definitely proves that the science behind the diet I'm on called the Carb Nite Solution is right. On my diet, I am strictly low carb, high fat during the week for 5-6 days and then on the 7th day and sometimes 2 days in a row, I have what is called Carb Nite. This is the day I eat anything I want, including a…

Macaroni and cheese??? Seriously? It's wonderful!!!

Beluga caviar. Any caviar for that matter but that's the only I ever tried. I really do not see what is so special about it that it would cost so much. I'll never put caviar in my mouth again.

Good, cause it can kill you. I'm sure you'll read up on it.. :-)

15% body fat? 20 pounds to lose? With that BF, you must be pretty lean??

I wasted this beautiful sauce I'd made on them. They were so nasty. I almost threw up. When I saw the rest of them I immediately threw them in the trash. You can rinse the smell off of them successfully. I followed Dana Carpender's Fat Fast directions for cooking them. It is the texture that is horrible. It's hard to…

You take a lot of iron? Iron can be dangerous if you take too much. It can kill you. Did a doctor tell you to take a lot of iron? Just be careful. I've read a lot about peanuts and I could eat lots of them. But my nuts of choice is pecans (I grew up in the South around pecan trees) almonds and brazilian.
