  • This is about a dr. who does vegan keto. There is a podcast and also a couple of cookbooks mentioned on the page. Be sure to listen to the podcast, this dr. is a surgeon and also Type 1 diabetic, interesting lady for sure. https://ketowomanpodcast.com/carrie-diulus/
  • Welcome to the group @pafinkssteffes It looks like no one provided you with an answer. There is a thread in our announcements area on our group's home page for introductions. Just click into the link I am providing below to get to it easily.…
  • @JeanineRevell welcome to the group. Good that you got the replacements done so you can play with and without the grands. Be sure to check out our announcements area, lots of good information in there.
  • I eat fruit that is in season, not a lot of it, servings of 100g max. We have raspberries and apples growing in our garden, I eat those in season along with limes and lemons. Working on year 6 of keto/lchf WOE, maintenance for 5 yrs. Good chart on this https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/fruits
  • Sounds like you are going good. Mag. is a hard one to get just right. I need lots, my husband needs like 0 supplementation. If it does cause digestive issues try soaks in epsom salt. Wishing you continued success.
  • @lorib642 Dr. Phinney trained under Dr. Atkins. I have had the honor of meeting him and having a good long discussion with him. I started my keto/LCHF journey using his books. The work Virta has done with diabetics is groundbreaking. You are so lucky to get to work with that organization. Eating LCHF is very sustainable. I…
  • Happy New Year everyone.
  • Welcome to the group. It isn't very active lately, but our announcements on the home page are full of good resources and advice. Congrats on the contract, I'm sure you are excited to be able to continue doing what you love.

  • Fewer people check in these days. I thought the pandemic would see a spike but all the groups are less active now. And the other forums I belong to, have also seen a slow down in postings.
  • Fat Fiction is also excellent for newbies and others who just need to have a refresher course. My DH usually doesn't like these type documentaries but he enjoyed and watched the whole thing, so that is like 5 stars from Rotten Tomato, LOL I found it here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11055922/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm I…
  • The magazine link wasn't working but I found this article informative. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/04/07/828091467/why-some-covid-19-patients-crash-the-bodys-immune-system-might-be-to-blame I had already heard that when you have a fever do not take the anti inflammatory OTC meds. So if I do get a fever…
  • In Colorado we are asked to stay at home. We have ordered groceries on line mainly and DH did a couple of pick up orders from our normal grocery. We are both high risk but have stayed at home except for daily walking to the park. We see more of our neighbors these days than ever before, but everyone is physically…
  • What has everyone been doing while social distancing/staying at home? I've been experimenting with DIYI masks. I have bandannas and scarves to play with, here is my first attempt, just a scarf tied in back. Lots of handling of the scarf so I thought using velcro fasteners would be a good idea. Also found allergen filters…
  • Hope everyone is keeping healthy. @annliz23, youtube is a great resource for workouts to do at home. I like Jessicasmithtv videos a lot and use them often.
  • I just used the calendar, under Foods and went back to April 2016 could have gone back even further. Use the calendar to search for your older entries? I thought it only kept them for a year or so, but nope, there is some old data in there. I don't even track anymore since I am 3 yrs. into maintenance, I don't find…
  • Welcome back @Quilty60 . Getting back to it is the only way to succeed. I'm a big fan of time restricted eating (IFing) too @Itreadlightly.
  • I agree, fasting is something I never thought I would do, now I just want to do it often. I love the way it makes me feel. It also got me to my goal weight and keeps me there as well. Hope the back stops hurting soon for you. Back pain sucks.
  • Great result for such a short time, and it does show nicely. KCKO.
  • I'm a big fan of fasting, doing one today and will go till Friday's lunch time.
  • Ila1227, This thread is for any general stuff, how your day is going, or anything you are grateful for in your life. Boards like this go in phases, sometimes lots of topics others, not so much.
  • Welcome back. Happy New Decade to you as well as a New Year. Congrats on being down 20, that is great.
  • @al4374 Happy Birthday! And you have a good plan. Enjoy yourself.
  • I am grateful I started the new year and the new decade within my goal range. Was nice not to join the average Americans who gain 10 lbs. over the holidays.
  • Diet Doctor, dietdoctor.com is an awesome website for low carbers/keto folks But if a parents uses it, will probably mean dear daughter. Goals: Report in here and the DD Facebook group daily. ✅ Keep the carbs within the guidelines of the DD 5 week challenge✅ Follow the meal plans and make any substitutions ahead of time,…
  • I am working on my 3rd year of maintenance. I slowly added more carbs, low GI ones back in, removing any that gave me issues like weight gain or bathroom issues. I do best around 50 carbs or less. Some days, like holidays, I do go up to 75, but mostly it is more like 30 grams. Not net, but grams. You will have to try…
  • Goals: Report in here and the DD Facebook group daily. I didn't check in here yesterday but spent hours on the DD facebook group. Keep the carbs within the guidelines of the DD 5 week challenge. I am not starting the program until Monday Follow the meal plans and make any substitutions ahead of time, not when I open the…
  • Wishing you all the best in the new year and decade, DreamOn145. I have done yoga off and on since I was 17, I always return to it. I did QiGong recently for a while but IT band issue made me stop. I think I will be going back to that class for winter since it gets bloody cold here and you can't walk outside comfortably. I…
  • I'm in maintenance, working on my 3rd year. While I am staying where I want to be weight wise, I need to stay focused on getting my exercise and finally learning to actually use a meal planner to simplify and stay on track. In the past when I got to my goal weight, I'm a WW lifetimer, within 3 years, I had started gaining…
  • DreamOn145. Wow so glad your DH has lost and is doing ok. It sounds like both of you are improving your health these days. Happy Thanksgiving everyone in the USA.
