My name is Shai, and it's been quite a while since my last confession ... My partners daughter (who some of you may recall me mentioning before, the one who hates me) bought me a chocolate bunny. It's the first (only) nice thing she's done in about 12 months. I thanked her and put it in the cupboard, with no intention of…

Higher metabolism maybe Goat? I have a friend who is quite tall, and very thin (I mean like 70kg and 6'5"). He has nothing wrong with him physically. He is very INactive (sits on the computer all day). He's had hormones tested etc. BUT ... he eats lollies and drinks coke constantly. And his meals are like falling over the…

I do my eggs in a frypan with a lid. Put the pan on low-medium heat. Melt some butter. Crack a couple of eggs into it, and PUT THE LID ON. Glass lids are great for this. Why? Because the white is cooked on the top of the egg as well without having to flip it over, and the yolk can still be runny. I hate sunny side up eggs…

I've had bloods done a few times over the last 12 months, nothing shows up. I can't really justify going to the Dr to say "I'm on a diet and I'm hungry". I doubt they would do much. As for even trying to make a Dr understand that I feel I should have less of an appetite due to my keto lifestyle, forget it. My thyroid was…

How did you have a whole cup of oil at breakfast on Monday? I would vomit.

This is both rude and presumptuous. But thank you for your opinion. I generally do not, and have never "eaten crap" on an every day basis. I am fat because my body tells me it wants more food than it needs. I live in here, I think I'd know. Even before getting serious and restricting carbs to below 20g a day my diet has…

I will NOT listen to my body. Listening to my body is the reason I'm fat. My body would have me eating Macca's/Subway/Pizza and Icecream every day. The only way I've managed to lose weight is by telling my body "NO!!! YOU WILL HAVE WHAT I SAY YOU HAVE WHEN I SAY YOU HAVE IT". Even last year, I was keto for about 9 months,…

I stress about the details. I can't help it. I either micro-manage every little thing I put in my mouth, or I eat with abandon. There's no middle ground for me. I tend also to only eat things that come in a packet with a label. And individual serves is great (like those little 40g tubs of Philadelphia cream cheese). I…

I don't win a trophy for staying under 10g a day? Pfft, what's the point? I find myself eating the same things most days. A typical day will go like this: Coffee with butter/coconut oil for breakfast. 100g ham and little tub of cream cheese, with a cup of broth and butter for second breakfast. 4 boiled eggs and a tblspn of…

You know you're a keto dieter if your vegetable drawer in the fridge is full of packets of sliced meat, and cheeses of all kinds - because you know the kids will NEVER look there and it's "all mine damn it".

completely avoidable. I have a vegetable stock (vegeta) with a tblspn of butter in it each day, no headache or lethargy.

Ugh, but then I can only have a little bit Goat. 100g raw middle bacon is 540 calories. Cooked, this is not much bacon at all, and way to many calories.

Thank you :)

I have a pod machine. I put 20g butter and 20g coconut oil into a cup of black coffee (well, into a plastic container big enough), blend with a stick blender until frothy, and pour into a cup or my travel mug. I have one every morning. No cream, no artificial sweeteners. I also have a couple of coffees during the day, and…

Oh yes, the carb lovers will tell you you can't possibly work out unless you stuff a banana in your face first. And a good whole grain sandwich afterwards. Us low carbers are frail things, barely able to drag ourselves out of bed in the morning from lack of "fuel".

I dreamt I ate a whole bag of little easter eggs last night. I was so annoyed with myself. It was a relief when I woke up. I have a bit of a carb phobia now that I've got back into Keto. I let myself relax at Xmas and it took 3 months to stop binging. Now I worry about the 3 kernels of corn that were in my coleslaw last…

I have hip bones, who knew :)

QUICK KETO MUFFIN 2 tblsp Psyllium Husk Powder 1 tblsp Almond Meal 1 egg 1/5 tspn baking powder 2 tspn water Mix it all in a cup or bowl. Pour into a glass bowl lightly sprayed with olive oil (spread out even with a spatula). Microwave for 90 seconds. Allow to cool, dump it out, and do what you like with it. You can slice…

I just downloaded and installed this app and I can't see anywhere to input this stuff at all. I can find "import data" but nowhere to put in start weight, goal weigh, height etc.

What exactly are you looking to record? Weight? Calories? I use an app called "weight tracker" but that's just for weigh ins. I'm not sure what you're asking for.

Sound like a bunch of nazi's on a power trip to me.

Lets see, my family has all got diabetes (9 out of 11 of my Dads generation). Carbs cause blood sugar to be all over the place. They also cause mood issues, pain and inflammation etc. Will I go back to eating carbs after I lose weight? No. To me restricting carbs is equal in long term health benefits to quitting smoking.

Most medicines of that type are sugar free here in Australia. Or take the grown up version in pill form?

I messed up my Keto at Xmas, and have only just managed to get back under control. 4 days in. I have a cup of vegeta with butter in it about mid morning, the salt seems to help a great deal. No headaches, no nausea.

I know, thanks Goat <3 Just all sorts of emotional at the moment. Teenagers *kitten* me.

Lol thanks :) This is one of my favorites ...

Stress raises cortisol which hinders weightloss which causes more stress which raises cortisol which hinders weightloss ... This made me want to cry. A big part of my stress is the need to lose weight. I also have alot of other things going on, things like the fact that my partners 2 teenagers hate me, and have been making…

I'd question one serving as being 35 nuts. If we're talking science I mean. Are they large nuts? Small? Varying sizes? I'd weigh them.

People who say "nuts are a good low carb snack" are not wrong, if you eat a serve, which is about 8 or 9 nuts (1 oz). Who does that? I avoid them altogether. A small handful of nuts can have 5+ carbs, and oh so many calories. Not worth it.

This hasn't been going on for a day or so. If you read my post, it happened with my old phone too, and it has in fact NEVER worked, and I've owned the Jawbone for about 3 months now.
