Skinless and boneless (thigh) $4.49 lb Skinless and boneless (breast) $4.99 lb San Francisco Bay Area pricing.

I agree you're making brownies for yourself (one/eighth is 9 carbs). I can't stand that kind of temptation. I'll know when I make my chocolate chip cookies tomorrow night.

Don't be "If I don't hit 60% of fats, I don't know what I would do!" I do 40-58% of fats (shh!) and I'm still losing.

Yeah, it's counted as "fruit". About 6 g of carbohydrate, almost as a 1 cup of strawberries (8 g).

Yeah! Thighs are costing as much as chicken breasts do!

My husband weighed in 224 and he is 22 lbs. lower now -- 202. He's on from the couch potato to 5K exercise plan. I just walk about 1-2 miles a day. It's Keto/Atkins plan, 25-40 carbs a day. I really don't believe in hitting fat macros if you don't feel like it. I eat whole milk (fairlife), whole milk cottage cheese and…

That is what happened to my friend and her father on the High Sierra Trail (on your way to Mt Whitney). "You're too slow!" Getting up 5 a.m. and you're hiking two hours ahead of the group. She was only female of the team and the group leader was spouting about her dad and her (who were not overweight, and she was quite a…

Avocado, strawberries, watermelon (but it's getting had to buy them) and raspberries.

Between 25-35 carbs a day.

I don't drink coffee. I drink tea: Chai and whole milk, with 1 tsp Splenda.

Premier Protein. You could buy it on Amazon and Costco. I usually use Vanilla. When I'm commuting 90 minutes to my job, and I can use the protein drink and chai tea latte.

I get bored with meat -- especially red meat.

No! I have a friend who swims about five miles a day, and hikes.

Six weeks on Keto and I lost 23 lbs. I'm not a big meat eater, and usually a 6 oz. steak is going to be half (3 oz) of the cat's dinner. I'm big on cheese, eggs, and nuts.

Strawberries! I love them. I consume "Keto" tortillas and bread products three times a week. I had 50 carbs today!

First of all, blame the victim much? Who does have a scale for food? I don't. I had to decide on the "Keto Diet" and the "Atkins20 Diet" with my husband, and the Atkins diet you can have dairy (FairLife) so we went with it. The husband decided he needed to lose weight so I went along with him. The first two weeks had to…

You do what you can do for a lifetime. I got in on it (keto) for my blood glucose. I was recovering from septic shock and pneumonia and blood glucose shot up 460. I got up to an A1C 9.1. My blood glucose reached 195 three months later. It was a month ago I started keto, and it was my blood glucose 120 a day ago (A1c 5.6).

Yeah, consistency is the key.

I will pee on a stick for you if you want!

I eat keto. I use second phase -- meat, fat, nuts, beans and berries. I'm quite happy with it.

Poppycock!

Try Bolthouse Farms Cucumber Ranch dressing. It's made from yogurt, and it's 18 calories (1 tbsp).

CKD diet?

Not logging food.

Hummus, if you like veggies dip them, or rice crackers!

I left the hospital on March 26. My doctor told me I had to build up my lungs in the outdoors. I have a side business where I walk dogs, and I been doing that for two weeks. I haven't been going to gym, but I can probably go within a week. I have my brother's funeral to go to. :/

I know, right?

Thanks for you comments! As you can tell, I was shocked by my blood sugar -- I'm usually 120-130. The kidneys values and blood pressure have come down, but not the blood sugar. :(

Any advice from prediabetics and diabetics out there? I'd like to know where the label of diabetes happened for you. I'm seeing a nurse next week, NovusDies. And you would be happy to know that everyone tells me, "You look good -- especially suffering with septic shock and pneumonia!" I'm over it.

Hint!
