  • They are young (young-ish) and they worked up their appetite. You try 6-8 hours of dancing per night.
  • Making fun of the keto diet on here?
  • I know about the Mediterranean diet. I do the portion control is crucial, and the veggies and meat ratio is 3 to 1. So add your food and add me!
  • It's easy for a toaster oven!
  • The AHA confuses the topic by turning it into a number -- 30g a day. I bet you're beating yourself up over 32g, am I right? The average plum (when it grows in season, which it is now) has 7 g of sugar (8g of carbohydrate) a day. Brussels sprouts are 2.2 g of sugar a day ( 9 g of carbohydrate). You have to have a book on…
  • No, I'm not anemic -- I will be the furthest thing away from anemic. It's from my mom, the thin, fine hair thing.
  • I think the biggest thing about Keto is whether you are up to it or not. If you are undergoing any metabolic issue (diabetes mellitus), low-carb is the meal plan for you. "I can't imagine a life with pasta!" or "I can't live without bread!" You may try a Mediterranean diet/meal plan. There's a little pasta or rice for you…
  • I think added hormones and stress levels cause that causes hair loss. Although I've been going perimenopause, I have put rosemary oil in my shampoos and conditioners (only one oz). I put it at 30% hair loss growth. (At 4-6 months) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25842469/ I have a prescription for 2.5 mg of minoxidil…
  • Mint chicken! It's not as saucy as the other dishes, but I hope is mild and medium. The one I had in Los Angeles was too hot (as in medium heat). I think if done in Thai and Burmese style, tofu is mainly pretty tasty!
  • You have to get out and do 20 minutes of activity a day. Walk around, play with your dog, ride your bike, and lift weights. Gradually you do 30 minutes a day, 45 minutes a day -- you will be seeing your results. Then, "Why am I going out of my way exercising this much if I'm going to eat like garbage?" And you will have an…
  • I'm a 40-something, a previous professor, and I've been following high-protein and low-carb meal plans. I lost something like 65 lbs (and kept it off for two years). It's going to take about three to six months. There's no getting around that. How much do you cook food? That's the only way you consume non-processed food.…
  • Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! The constipation will stop as you take in more water, like 8 full glasses.
  • I don’t take this personally? You do know this is personal, right? 🤭
  • I have been on a diet for most of my life. I read and I have advanced degrees. So, your pigeonholing of me, a dumb hick, is not correct. My day is a lot like this one. No, I haven't had lasagna every day of the week. Variety is the spice of life. Breakfast: Matcha tea latte, two eggs scrambled with spinach, bell peppers,…
  • How are you with your water intake? I'm feeling low on water I tend to find an ice cream.
  • Life's too short for me to cut out carbs. I'm meh on potatoes and rice. My husband kills for potatoes. You should actually be given a proportion of pasta and sauce, 1/2 cup to 1 cup, and feel yourself up with vegetables (and panna cotta! :D )

  • Congratulation on losing 21 lbs! I hope you know that you are about to embark on a journey where there is no "weight loss" just a journey where you discover delicious foods and how much to partake of them.
  • If smoothies are in lieu of breakfast or lunch, then I'm avoiding them. Low carb, high protein eater, and I eat a toast with smoked salmon and cream cheese (I guess if you have an avocado) and matcha latte. It's what's in the smoothies. Lifeway Organic Kefir Cultured Milk Whole Mixed Berry has 18g of sugar per cup (four…
  • Eat protein (eggs, bacon, meat, and cheese) and a nice serving of vegetables for every meal. No sugar, pasta, and rice on a good day. Only eat bread you make yourself ("keto" bread) and Sola or Carbonaut bread. No Franz or Orowheat "KETO Bread" -- it tastes awful and has a lot of carbohydrates.

  • My "fad diet" is what I consider the pre-diabetic and diabetic meal plan. I have a "keto-ish" meal plan, but it is protein-rich and has minimal carbs. All I had to do "keto-ish" meals, and you had so many posters telling me, "Keto is not doable in the long run!" Wrong. You cook and prepare your own food and lifehack to…
  • Prosciutto and mozzarella cheese (paninos), with a Cherry Coke Zero (16 0z bottle size.) Protein pancakes!
  • Cheese? Nuts? I don't know if there's a meat and eggs meal and that goes well with cheese or nuts. Some old grains -- quinoa and spelt.
  • I have night-time craving for stuff that's bad for me. Why don't you have a cup of sugar-free cocoa? (Why not real cocoa and sweeten it with stevia or monkfruit?) It's anywhere 10-50 calories and you be enjoying a beverage that doesn't make you sugar-crash. If, like me, and wouldn't really enjoy cocoa, then you would take…
  • Hello, Eagles! I have been "ketoish" diet -- I consider it high protein, low carbohydrates meal plan. I have lost 75 since my stroke. I'm been at 265, 5'7" female -- I got down 250 lbs before the pandemic happened. I have protein or vegetables. Very little rice or pasta. I don't do sugar (I will occasionally have a cookie…
  • That's the medication. I'm really sleepy after the shot. I'm taking it on Friday, where I'm having the weekend to recover. The more you pair it with exercise, the better you will be. I'm near the two months of 1 mg dosage, and the tiredness it really can't compare to two months ago. You can ask the doctor to keep an eye on…
  • Stop eating whenever you are feeling full. You don't wish to vomit, sickening heartburn, or a disturbing "I can't eat another bite!" type of thing. Put it away for another time. Eat half of your meal. Only serve yourself half of your meal and sit down and eat it. Savor it. Are you hungry still? Go up and get another half…
  • Do you mean you are disconnected from your body? Or are people around you feeling friendly (and I mean, mostly men) and giving you attention so that you become disconnected from your body? It was that latter phrase for me. I remember when I got down to my recent weight for Xmas, and was all dolled up in my little red…
