I have an active job as a chef and am on my feet moving around for about 10 hours a day in a hot kitchen, I originally started with a calorie goal of 1800 per day, but I seemed to be too hungry so I upped my calories to around 2000-2200 and my fat from 60%-75%. Last week I did a 22/2 intermittent fast for the duration of…

Yes, I know this, and it seemed to have stalled my weight loss. I've read Taubes.

When we pick it, I have the person save the skin, then I deep fry it and toss it in a blend of ranch powder, ghost chile powder and our house steak seasoning. Dip in ranch and transplant yourself to a…

I experience this. Not sure what it is, it's definitely not hunger or upset stomach/gas. I usually experience it in the morning. I kind of thought it was because my stomach was always used to eating on schedule and not by hunger, that I didn't really know what it was like to not constantly have food in my stomach. I…

I like to mix half an avocado up with 2 oz cream cheese and 1 tbsp of Tillamook sour cream, a little sriracha and salt and it's an awesome breakfast!
