It must be the most common keto myth... eat more fat to lose more body fat is repeated so often that nobody even seems to think it through. The twin myth is that everyone on keto is losing weight no matter how much they eat. I've been in maintenance for years on keto. Some seem to believe that isn't even possible. Edit to…

Wrong. Someone trying to lose body fat does not need to "focus on eating high fat foods." To lose body fat, one wants to "eat" (consume for energy) fat from their body rather than dietary fat. This is a common misunderstanding amongst keto dieters and it just keeps getting spread around by people who don't understand how…
-
Depends on your goal. If you want to lose weight: -Xg carb is the limit (usually people use 20g or 50g) -Yg protein is a goal (do not skip protein - this is the essential macronutrient. Your body can make its own carbs / glucose and its own fat, but can only make proteins from other proteins). -Zg fat is a limit. This is…

@quilteryoyo It wasn't bad food... I literally eat the same thing all the time. It is only a question of what cut of beef. Even then, it is often ground beef anyway. The food was just a vector for whatever bacteria or virus I ended up with.
-
Thank you everyone for the well wishes. I'm mostly back to normal. Got the test results back. Will save you the TMI, but short story is that the tests showed there was a problem, but inconclusive as to what it was. As best as the dr. can tell, it was most likely a food-borne substance. Not 100%, but likely. Since I'm…

I don't know. It's not Covid, it's a stomach issue of some sort. I went to the dr. last Monday and he had no idea, but is testing for everything. I'm still waiting on test results. Like I said, I've been starting to feel better already. I think I'll be back on the mend before those lab results even come back. I'm really…

Not much activity this week. TBH, I started feeling sick about 10 days ago. Ended up seeing the dr. on Mon. and waiting on test results... still waiting, but started feeling better over the past few days. Went for a couple walks yesterday and adding 2.26 miles for that. Today, ran 5.25 miles. Just about back to 100%, and…

I was in Minneapolis a couple years ago during a polar vortex and my car ('16 Prius) started fine in... I don't recall exactly... maybe between -30F and -40F. Having said that, my mpg was just the worst (in the teens during that time) because the gas engine had to run constantly. Normally, the idea of hybrids is for the…

I don't think anyone is saying these are electric vehicles. After electric vehicles had been brought up as something that is unusual these days, I mentioned that electric vehicles are probably more common these days than engine block heaters. Specifically, my point is that this is a variation from the past when engine…

Ah, I see... was not aware of that at all. I do know that I saw a lot of signs early on saying "Please don't wear masks. Save this precious limited resource for medical staff and use a bandana or cloth face covering instead." - Or something along those lines. But I don't recall ever seeing anything that indicated it would…
-
I've not seen anything inconsistent from the CDC. Has the CDC ever said that it is a bad idea to wear a mask? As for vehicles, I don't plug mine in and I don't have a way to do that. I would guess that most do not have an EV, but that number is probably larger than those who have an engine heater... something I remember my…

Also in the U.S. Have been to Canada (by land), but no other country. I had plans for races in various states in Mar., Apr., and May that all got cancelled. Depending on the location, the travel, the field size, and practices to keep things clean and safe; I would go to a race this weekend if I could (maybe next weekend as…
-
Reminds me of a guy in Mar., I believe, who had symptoms, had been tested, and was waiting for his results. Meanwhile, he flew from NY to FL. Turned his phone on when landing and saw his test results were positive. So that plane sat on the runway for awhile before anyone could disembark safely. I am not sure what happened…

I'll be honest, though... sometimes I wonder if that appetite suppression leads to a later increase of appetite. Either way, I hate feeling like I'm dependent on coffee. I'm trying to quit, but this is going to take months to do it right.
-
Nope, I drink coffee black and it seems to have some effect to suppress appetite.

I listen to music, but confused about the Garmin comment. Some Garmins do control and store music, but that is an optional feature. I have the Fenix 5, which does not have an option to store music. I always run with my phone anyway and listen to music from that. Specifically, I use the Aftershokz Aeropex headphones. These…

I haven't use the air, but have used the Trekz Titanium and the Aeropex. First, keep in mind that the Trekz Titaniums are not as water resistant as the Aeropex, but I've had them out in the pouring rain with minimal cosmetic damage. Otherwise, I prefer the sound quality, weight, and battery of the aeropex also. But if you…

Could be worse.

And this is exactly the type of behavior that promotes spreading of the virus. This is why we can't have nice things. 😢 And it is also why the thing some of these people say they want - to fully reopen the economy - isn't going to happen anytime soon.
-
In the case of TN, everyone who has tested positive has their name and address released to all the police chiefs and county sheriffs who have signed up for it. I live near the MO border. If I test positive, my name and address are sent to everyone in the entire state that signed up for the information - even those who are…
-
Generally no. Eating lots of carbs, assuming a healthy body fat level, doesn't normally increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.
-
The argument they are making is that it is to protect police just in case they come in contact with an infected person. Since testing is so limited here and since a lot of people are asymptomatic, doesn't it make more sense to operate based on the assumption that everyone has it and protect yourself no matter what?! No…
-
I just found out that some police and sheriffs here in TN are being given names and addresses of everyone who has tested positive. Health privacy apparently doesn't matter here: https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/local/story/2020/may/08/state-health-department-gives-names-addresses/522572/

Not only does it not sound very effective at limiting spread of the virus, but it also sounds harmful to wildlife and plant life (in addition to people and pets).
-
I thought I read some in China (and Singapore?) had also gotten re-infected. If it's possible to get infected more than once, then isn't it also possible to be an asymptomatic carrier more than once?
-
It was always ok to be rude. That's one of the great things about America! If I don't like what you are doing, I can be as brash as I want in how I tell you. That might be something for courts to decide, but I don't know of a single reason why such laws would be considered unconstitutional. It's no different than requiring…
-
No, this was attempted a couple months ago. The reason why some places have made it illegal to go out without a mask is because asking nicely doesn't work. No matter how much you may believe otherwise, this was proven already. After asking nicely for weeks, some are resorting to shaming people who don't wear masks. Is that…
-
I always carry water. I have a handheld bottle with a strap on it to help keep hold of it while running. There is a pocket attached, which provides space for glucose tablets (as a T1D, I need these in case of hypoglycemia) and keys. The one I've been using most is made by Amphipod, but I have some made by Nathan as well.…

You may know, but my response was based on the comment to which I replied. My point is that it has no more to do with your question than someone who has any other chronic illness without "diabetes" in the name of that illness. This is a common point of confusion, and the reason many of us T1D's would like to see a name…

@katharmonic It was not the RD's decision. It sounds like everyone was good with it until someone in the national USFS got wind of it and put a stop to it.
