It depended on who I was living with at the time. With my dad, he tried. He did. We ate a lot of tv dinners and I can remember the first meal I ever learned to make, at about age 7, was fish sticks, mac n cheese, and green beans. I made it often. The other meal I learned to make early on, that we also ate often, was mac n…

I've found that I feel better with a higher low carb count, if that makes sense. 20 and below made me feel rather icky. My diet is pretty close to Paleo, though I do eat some dairy and some processed meat because its cheap, well, sometimes that's what I can afford. I think of Paleo as a guideline, like anything else. Nerd…

For me low carb is an average of about 50 per day. Some days a little over, other days I go way under. 95% of my carbs come from veggies and some dairy.

My carb levels are averaging around 50-75 I think. I do eat fruit, mostly berries and those sometimes though I did pack a very small amount of frozen fruit today. The carb count is 6.5 net. I was keeping around 20 carbs but, honestly, I didn't feel as good and I didn't notice my weight dropping significantly. I'm not sure…

I used to work with a pathologist who refused to wash his coffee cup because he was "building his immune system." Presumably his profession means he's smart about these things, but the rest of us thought he was a bit crazy, too.

My oopsie rolls come out a bit tougher, could be because my oven is broken and I put them in the broiler? You could try that if you're ok with the taste. Also, I've found that the rolls toughen a bit with age, if you will. I've not tried the others, sorry, because I can't bring myself to experiment with the high priced…

I buy plain old Maxwell house and when I make BFC that's what I use. Occasionally I'll spring for the fair trade stuff because I like the concept, but usually I can't afford it.

Stress/drama. Today I'm in a building full of it. Kryptonite, its full of kryptonite. Normally I would have been in the candy bowl but so far so good.

When you hear there is a huge water leak in the kitchen causing the microwaves to be roped off and you think "Eh, I guess I'll have to wait to heat up my lunch. Ok."

Blue Bunny No Sugar Added fudge bars are 9 grams of carbs and a few grams of fiber.

Are you losing at 1500? I say if you are, stay at 1500. Don't lower until you hit a plateau of 4 weeks or so.

How many carbs depends on your goals. If you're wanting to get into and stay into keto than you want to keep it around 50. I wouldn't eat back exercise carbs. If you feel you need more calories, eat more protein and fat. If keto isn't the goal, then you want to find the number that allows you to lose weight and feel…

Ummm, maybe. My highly educated RD and nutritionist (paid for by my insurance) knows all the answers according to the current SAD and US Food Pyramid. She knows very little about applying this knowledge to her patients and their individual needs. An RD is a good idea, just do your research and find one who is both educated…

Everyone gets frozen yogurt and I'm content with my Coke Zero (yeah, I know, soda, artificial sweeteners, still wasn't fro yo).

Once they're fairly soft I cut in half longways and the continue all the way around. The two halves should pull apart and then you can scoop out the pit, then the peel should come off a little easier. If you only eat half, you can store the other half in the fridge with a little squirt of lemon juice.

Great to hear!

What were your measurements?

B) Awesome job!

I don't know the answers but I'm now seriously considering a trip to the beauty college in my city. Their massages are a percentage of what fully trained therapists cost. I don't mind being a guinea pig and I can't afford the real stuff. I don't know about toxins but a message sure sounds nice.

Hello, 35, married, two kids. I've been LCHF since mid-January. I'm having a rough night so I'm not posting my weight. Overall I've lost 7.5 lbs and according to my measuring tape about 14 inches. Yet I'm not really losing much in size, which is why I'm frustrated. I go back and forth on counting calories, right now I'm…

Well done!

Dunkin' Donuts. They don't taste good to me anymore and they give me instant heartburn. That was a few months ago, though.

Great job! I remember an interview I read with Miranda Lambert where they were asking her how many pounds she lost (as opposed to a question about her career, of course) and she said something to the effect of "Who cares how many pounds I lost? Its the smaller jeans size I care about." I'm both quoting and paraphrasing but…

Perfection is an illusion. Its been my experience that the more perfect something looks the uglier it is behind the mask. Your cousin may be the exception to that, I don't know. My FB peeps that like to "preach" are usually the most judgmental, as well.

You could also boil the eggs. Maybe cook some veggies until they're soft and mush them up a bit? That makes it sound like baby food, lol. If you have a food processor, could you puree meat?

Welcome!

I would if I could handle the smell of boiled chicken. I can eat chicken all day but put it in a pot or slow cooker and it makes me gag.

If you're extremely hungry you aren't binging. You're hungry, so you need to eat. Also, you may feel this way a lot at the beginning, go ahead and eat. If you gain weight, it most likely won't be a lot. The need to eat so much WILL pass, though when is different for everyone. For now maybe try focusing on eating when…
