I'm wondering about this too. I probably need to just start making stuff like that.

Well, I think that pretty much just won the whole Internet. And it made me chuckle out loud. Thanks. :)

Most definitely. Still trying to get that spaceship repaired so I can go back home.

Oh geez, I can only imagine how that thread is going. Lol.

The only thing Jonathan Bailor is selling is a book, which is based on a review of 1,300 different scientific studies. It's been endorsed by doctors from John Hopkins, Harvard, Yale, UCLA, etc. He comes from his own experience as a personal trainer, seeing how the old traditional advice is failing people. And it's not like…

It's the combination of fat and protein, mostly fat if you're talking about pizza. It's the fat. If it were just dough, it wouldn't fill you up. You'd be hungry an hour later. It's all that cheese and greasy goodness.

The perpetual hunger diet?

Here! I'm a keto newb but very serious about it. I've wanted to do it for a long time, for a variety of different reasons, not just weight but overall health.

My day today includes three whole eggs and four strips of regular uncured bacon.

Research is now showing that refined carbs rather than natural animal fat are the real culprit. Refined carbs increase inflammation, which damages the heart and arteries. It damages the entire body, in fact, and speeds up the aging process. That's what inflammation does. Also causes pain and arthritis and all that other…

And the again, the answer to the question is nope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxyxcTZccsE

Exactly

It's a myth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5ewexMZ1-o Abbreviated version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U36XJaETbh8

I'm doing <50 carbs right now, started on almost the same day you did, and have lost 6 pounds since then, probably mostly water weight like you said. But now, time to start burning and losing fat! Let's become fat burning machines! I'm starting keto next month, and we're doing a challenge in the low carb group if you want…

That's an awesome video, thanks for sharing. I think it's well worth the watch, but, for those who don't have time or patience, this is basically an abbreviated version of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U36XJaETbh8

Stop the "moderation" thinking if it's not working for you. If you just stop eating that stuff, it will stop tempting you. Carbs, especially refined carbs, make you hungry, and make you hungry for more and more and more. Fat and protein keep you full.

Stop hanging out with people who drink. Worked for me. But, that might not be the solution for everyone. I'm kind of reclusive right now, but looking for new friends to hike and do yoga with.

Same. The only thing a bowl of oatmeal does for me is spike my blood sugar, which is of course followed by a crash, meaning I'll be delirious long before lunch ever get there. It's like I'm injecting myself with a hunger serum. That's why I have whole eggs with full fat bacon. Keeps me full. But steel cut oats are still a…

Yesss! I'm starting to get to that happy place. :smile:

That's a really good question.

Breakfast: Three eggs, two slices of bacon, and a slice of sharp cheddar cheese Lunch: My "chicken salad salad". Chicken salad made with shredded chicken breast (for taste), mayo, and relish, on top of a large bed of spring mix salad, with low carb blue cheese dressing made from yogurt (Bolthouse Farms). And some left over…

No problem! I'll keep you posted. :)

bookmarked! I love Italian food.

Congratulations! You're an inspiration!

Wow, that's an inspiring story! To some extent I can relate. I *know* about healthy food and nutrition, but my addiction to SAD just brings the weight right back on as soon as I stop weighing and counting my junk. Even though I was given the head knowledge, I still had to learn the hard way through experience, because I…

Ha ha! That's hilarious! Technically I'm still counting calories right now, but I've changed my "goal" from 1400 to 1800, and am staying below 50 grams of carbs, but starting next month it'll be 30 grams. I'm supposedly eating at maintenance but I want to see if I'll lose weight anyway, without being in a deficit, by going…

Yes, I know exactly what you mean! Fortunately I found this information before becoming diabetic, but you could say that my story is similar.

I'm new to this, but does eating straight cream cheese right out of the package count? Edit: Oh wait, someone said that already. :p

Might be better asked in the low carb group. I'd only count insoluble fiber if anything.

I'm probably destined to never have a perfect butt, and I'll probably be OK with that.
