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/

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…

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…

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…

Great result for such a short time, and it does show nicely. KCKO.

@al4374 Happy Birthday! And you have a good plan. Enjoy yourself.

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…

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.

The website ruledme.com has some good food plans for vegan and vegetarian low carbers. Might want to check it out.

You need to make this request over at : https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/website-suggestions-feedback We can't do anything with the suggestions, the web designers need to know this is being requested. But don't hold your breath in getting a reply quickly.

Keto is 20 grams, low carb is anywhere from there to 100 grams. Different people have different tolerances. dietdoctor.com has great infographs of how many carbs are in foods. Be sure to check those out. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/fruits#similar

Do not concentrate on calories, keep carbs low, get enough protein, and fat to satiety. If you are doing this for weight loss primarily, give your body a chance to use up all the stored fat in your body. It can only put so many calories a day, but if you have a lot to lose, it will pull them easily from your body. Here is…

Another rare lover here, just about any beef rare will do me just fine. I love sirloin as fajitas just leave them on the grill long enough to warm slightly, only way I will do sirloin now. I like the fatter steaks best.

So how is it going? Did the egg fast work or did you call it quits or add some ground beef??? Don't leave us hanging. We need a report :)

To me the advantage of being fat adapted is my body can finally burn up that fat it stored from a meal I ate in the past. tcunbeliever did a great job of explaining things. I have days when I eat up to 75 net carbs and other days when 5 carbs are enough. It is great to go back and forth. I have lost the weight I wanted to…

Seniors in general seem to not get enough Vitamin D. I use it along with the vitamin Ks. I'm taking it for my CAC score (325), which placed me in the midrange health risk for CAD. Taking a few other things too, will retest in the spring at the same facility and see if I have reversed or halted the growth. I need the…

This is all I know :) https://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/58037/innovative-treatment-vets-type-2-diabetes/ The full guidelines for 2017 mentions Med. diet but also this: 15% would be good, not so sure about the 45%, I think Dr. Sears would be happy with these guidelines.

@Emmapatterson1729 You skin looks fabulous. Congrats on your successes.

Ya, baggie dress is a REAL PROBLEM, we all wish we had. Time to find a new favorite, smaller one or a good tailor to cut it down for you. :)

So glad you got a dr. who is up on current VA guidelines for diebetics, too many are not. VA is even working with Dr. Stephen Phinney's company now. 6.1 is borderline, so keep those carbs down there. They are sneaky and add up quickly. Love the pic of you and your dog. Take him out on more walks, Maybe get him a frisbee to…

I like the slimmer version, angle hair, the thicker version not so much. The rice is my absolute favorite.
