Check out Lyle McDonald's PSMF. Also since this is a contest, you could look in to cutting strategies that MMA people use before a weigh-in. Example: http://www.bullshido.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-79935.html

Also, you might just be dehydrated in general. Low carb can flush water & salts from your system, so you may find an increased need for staying hydrated and keep electrolytes up.

Good stuff. I use the plugin "video speed controller" for podcast-type videos to speed them up -- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-controller/nffaoalbilbmmfgbnbgppjihopabppdk?hl=en (and you can even use it with Netflix and at 1.1x and even 1.2x it's not that noticeable) I liked how he downplayed the…

Too steep a deficit is usually the culprit in these cases

"Oh no, it slipped off the counter!"

Not necessarily low carb related, but this is a great post: http://nomnompaleo.com/post/55156756199/surviving-the-night-shift

I keep hoping my crock pot bites the dust so I have an excuse to get in Instapot :D

Shoot, with the way tuna prices have come up in the past couple years, it's almost as expensive as canned salmon, and so that's a no brainer! http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

Err on the high side and don't worry about it too much. There's a wide variety of pho entries in the MFP database ... looks like a lot hover around the 400 calorie mark. There will probably be sugar in the marinade and corn starch in the broth, but it should really be too significant. A tip: when you get it without…

I mean...it's still soy. These are a soy-free option: http://www.coconutsecret.com/aminos2.html

Man, V8 is delicious! (especially w vodka ;))

That seems wrong. What entry did you use? One example: http://www.calorieking.com/foods/calories-in-wines-chardonnay_f-ZmlkPTEwODM4OQ.html

The cooked vs. raw carb counts is also going to depend on what nutritional data you are using for your calculations, primarily because of the water loss from cooking. That is, 100g of cooked broccoli is going to have more carbs than 100g of raw broccoli. So, eat veggies from the Atkins list, but log it on MyFitnessPal…

A PSL definitely does, but she's referring to actual spice pumpkin spice, not the flavored syrup:

Also think about food in terms of "calories per dollar". Fat is cheaper in terms of calories per dollar than carbs are.

It's because they assume the fat runoff from cooking will be drained. So depending on how you eat your bacon, you might have to adjust the numbers accordingly.

What's the basis of your doc's recommendation for a smoothie?

Do you think there's something about beef that makes this more the case? If your other forums, are there any chicken-only carnivores, for example?

A while back I did a month eating only 10 things: https://forum.whole30.com/topic/26685-w30-project-x/ and then last year I did a thing where I just ate the same meal (ground beef & zucchini) every meal for a month: https://forum.whole30.com/topic/40769-monomeal-mania11/ Just fun gimmicky things, but dang, it was…

It's just a rhetorical device, but it's a pretty cool one.

[quote="canadjineh;c-40507111"The whole purpose of pork rinds for me is the super dry puffy crunch. I don't even like the flavour.[/quote] This makes sense. I'm not too brand loyal when it comes to pork rinds, and as such I end up buying many different kinds ... some times I'll open up a bag and it has "that smell" and I…

You probably already know this, but for others reading, IHOP at least puts pancake batter in their omelettes.

Nothing seems to indicate they're different from ordinary pork rinds ... I guess the microwave-specific bag helps them steam a bit more than if you just put regular rinds on a plate in the micro? Not sure why they have to add 2 different types of sugar + MSG though ...

What animal fats are you trying to avoid?

Not keto specific but has good info on alcohol as it relates to fat loss: http://www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html

They aren't actual alternatives milks though: they are blended beverages with sugar added along with thickeners: soy: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BEt4HZ7CEAA0qsR.jpg coconut: http://imgur.com/b6usbkS

Your current targets still represent a 30% caloric deficit, so I wouldn't change anything.

It's be more useful to see the actual scale weight graphed over the 18 weeks. I think you're undereating.

@GaleHawkins how on earth did you even find this thread from so far back??? :D
