Soooooo... Carbs - On point Calories - On point Protein - on the low side WEIGHT - +3 LB What the H-E-L-L?

What are you going to use for flour? I imagine the gluten-free King Arthur's is uber-carby. I might try this with coconut flour, I need a bit of change from my current side dish of choice which is queso de freir.

I also live in Florida, which is fantastic, seeing how I can't stand being cold. My other half keeps asking me if I'm anemic, being so cold all the time. So, last week I twisted my ankle which put a huge damper on my 2X a day workout schedule. Unfortunately, the ankle is purple and swollen (still), and I am going to the…

Bags of shirataki noodles. Tea or Coffee, if you drink it. Small kitchen gadgets, like tea dippers, bottle stoppers, fun ice cube molds, cheese knives, etc. Gift certificates or gift cards. Fake snow balls so you can have a snowball fight in the living room (not food but fun).

I might have to borrow that chicken recipe. Sounds yummy!

Ok... starting weight - 172lb, current weight - 173lb Logged EVERYTHING the last week. Stayed under 20 gram carbs 6/7 days (21 grams yesterday), stayed under calories too. Maybe after shark week I can post some losses. Also, twisted my ankle last Monday, so cannot do my usual running/crossfit and am stuck doing yoga for…

Ok, I know I'm late to the party, but... starting weight - 172lb (dang it, gained 20 lb over the summer) Goal #1 - get back to 160s Goal #2 - log everything I eat the whole month with possible exceptions of company holiday party and new years' eve. Goal #3 - stay under carbs and calories 90% of the time, and if I go over…

We're way more mainstream, but there is a long way to go... however, this makes me hopeful for a thinner, less chronically ill future.

Lots of them in my area, none take my insurance. Well, darn.

Hello. I was faithfully low-carbing, logging and losing weight last year, until I fell off the wagon. I'm working to get back to where I was last year, and hopefully avoid falling off again.

I have a whole Pinterest board full of 'em... I look at it when I want to boredom-snack.

@Sunny_Bunny_ I really like that blog! How neat.

Happy ketoversary, and congrats!

I see more muscle in the upper body and your belly is way less fluffy in profile. You may benefit from resistance training. If you can't do weights, maybe some body weight workouts?

So, let me postulate... a low fat diet will screw with your hormones (maybe even permanently). A high-fat low carb diet may be leptin sparing, so all of us may retain our BMR as we lose weight, which would be a whopping advantage of LCHF.

@wabmester , I think it's interesting that you mentioned appetite regulation. That in itself is a huge bonus of a low carb diet. This is like saying, your car can run on 20 gallons, but at 10 gallons of regular gas (sugar) your car will sputter and turn on the gas light, but with premium (ketones) your car can go almost…

Hmmm. However, we have plenty of (admittedly anecdotal) evidence on sites and boards dedicated to keto/low carb for people doing exactly that, with calorie restriction (or without!) and losing weight.

I've gotten just the opposite effect after the first two weeks, my heart rate JUMPED and my speed slowed. I am e-mailing both Dr. Maffetone and Mark for some help.

While I don't think I'll be in ketosis for the rest of my life, I will most likely do it for the majority of the time. Lessening of hunger, energy steadiness, no brain fog and some sports-specific advantages are pretty much my reason (outside of weight loss and metabolic issues) to keto, so after I hit my 'goal' weight…

I love putting loads of butter, salt and sour cream on my food in public. I get the most covetous looks from the coworkers. No comments though - not after an almost 20 lb fat loss.

Maybe fried cheese? At least I would hope...

Compound exercises with free weights, start slow, don't be afraid to go heavy. Strength training is so good for our bones and nerves, we all need to do it, especially us ladies! If you're on Reddit, you can stop by r/fitness and see if anyone recommends a good beginner program. Also, look at mobility workouts (YouTube is a…

@Foamroller, can't speak for the other 'carnivores', but I eat organic organs at least twice weekly (although I gotta work on variety, I only know how to cook chicken liver). I'm also incorporating seafood and fish into the diet. I think a nose-to-tail eating approach is the most beneficial one to begin with, especially if…

Yikes. Imagine someone hacking your nanobots... nope.

Is Chyna's death confirmed? It looks like an internet hoax. If it is, hold on to your favorite famous people, because there will be #3.

Good Wednesday morning! Outside of a few stray almonds last week I've done remarkably well. My lunches for the week are basically browned beef with a bit of cheese on the side. My dinners have been either pretty close to the same, with eggs on it (I had salmon with eggs yesterday. Aiming for liver on Friday. It's all about…

Get some MCT oil, and chug a tablespoon or two.

Meh. We don't know enough about the gut biome to know what it's supposed to look like, and whether a longer-term carnivorous diet may promote growth of bacteria strains adopted to this WOE. I'm not good at arguing, so please refer to the book called "The Fiber Menace" for counter argument. My personal N=1 experiment has…

You are encouraged to do one to two sprint sessions a week during heavy training phase according to the book (which has a whole chapter on sprinting) and Dr. Phil's website.

I've done it. After three weeks of aerobic long runs, PR'd my 5K by 30 seconds.
