Mid; Point, set, match <bg> Thanks for the work and for sharing.

Mid; The "problem" I have with "The evolutionary argument...." is that it depends to a very large degree on WHICH (evolutionary argument) one uses to attempt to "prove" their point. Too often, it focuses on one specific set of "cultural" circumstances and conveniently ignores the "outliars". While one group of peoples…

Amber; 300 to 150 is a MAJOR step in the "right" direction - good for you!!! LCHF isn't for "everybody", some simply can't (or won't) give up their "sweets and starches", either because they don't want to, or because they don't have to. (Think that "skinny" friend of your's that eats her weight in pie and cake and never…

DW; Good plan, thanks for doing the legwork.

DW; Patiences, Grasshopper <G>

Frob; I guess I was thinking of it more along the lines of equitable distribution of the work load on the one hand and consistency of design of the Announcements page on the other. Back in the old days, long before the current crop of "fill in the blanks" website builder apps existed and MSFT FrontPage was closest thing…

Frob/all: I'm almost afraid to mention this, both for fear of "jinxing" ourselves and for sounding like we're "rubbing it in" so please don't take offense and anyone that has a line to the "big one in the sky", please put a good word in for us - but here goes. For the entire time our son was in school in our district, all…

DW; * "....strikes me as doing exactly what you said you didn't want to do." - Not sure I understand your point here. My intent with the "list" was to address the most common misconceptions folks bring with them to LCHF from the "common knowledge" bandied about in the Forums (swamp) or even society in general (low…

iLos; Thanks for the kind words and for the contributions; To your points: * "I would change..." - Agree. "Perception" matters and many times it's the "small changes" that can have a "big" effect. * "...authority nutrition...." - I am familiar with the site and would suggest that the site itself (and possibly a specific…

Foam; First, thanks for your input and for the compliment -it's appreciated. To your points:* "Who is this for...." - I'm looking at it (and perhaps my perspective isn't correct or is too broad) as being "for", first the "noobs", then the "not so noob newbies", and then ALL the rest of us. When I try to consider myself…

BS; In the order you made the points:* "Maybe just looking...." - Totally agree * "Some people can only handle...." - Agree to a degree but will address in subsequent reply * "suggesting we try to...." - Again, agree and think that we (and the others contributing to this thread) are doing exactly that which is exactly how…

BS & GH; No BS, it didn't get "missed" at all and I think it's a valuable contribution to the effort and absolutely "should" be included as a part of the overall "effort". I don't think it requires much (if any) "editing" at all although anything that any of us propose can always be improved upon and there's no reason that…

DW; Like you, I was fine up until the "last 15" but lately have seemed to hit a wall. Despite constant threats of "...if you continue to eat at this deficit you'll DIE by noon tomorrow..." when consuming considerably less than the MFP "mandated" calories because I simply wasn't "hungry" and totally satiated on LCHF, those…

Saj; Agree that it's one of, if not "the" best pizza dough recipes we've seen and amazingly close to the "real thing" without the carbs/grains/refined junk. Like you, when we started LCHF my first wife (of 41 years) said, "I can probably give up my sugar fixes but NO WAY can I live without pizza!" She actually DID (live…

iLose/CC; I'm a "data" guy and absolutely agree that "...plotting your own data is a great way to go". With the data, and frequent datapoints, one can much more accurately narrow down "cause and effect" of things like changes in macro ratios, impact of exercise on weight loss, and blood sugar or ketone levels. Without it,…

K; I'm not familiar with any research that would relate to "...genetics/ancestry plays a role in...how a person's body responds to LCHF...". As far as I know, genetics "can" have an impact on IF a person is prone to insulin resistance but it's more of a "somewhat increased" probability than a definite thing. Thyroid issues…

Cindy; Tee hee.....my bride says she has a "64 year old pan" (me) - does that count? <G> But you are absolutely correct, taken care of, they WILL last a lifetime (and more)

Yes drying and oiling are a "must". People freak out about "seasoning" but that's really all there is to it. Every once in a while, oil and then stick them in the oven (upside down) for an hour or so. Especially when new (until the seasoning is "baked on") - even the ones that are, so-called "pre-seasoned". Do that a few…

You are certainly most welcome and thanks for the review - hope it helps others. Glad you enjoyed and keep us posted on your "fav" sauces/menus. Take care, enjoy the holidays, and "bon appetite"

Amber; 300 to 150 is a MAJOR step in the "right" direction - good for you!!! LCHF isn't for "everybody", some simply can't (or won't) give up their "sweets and starches", either because they don't want to, or because they don't have to.

Something like this maybe? <g>

Chris; 18# is nothing to sneeze at - you're off to a good start and more importantly approaching it with an attitude that will serve you well. Glad you liked the sauce but too bad you didn't make more (it would have been great on a nice bacon, mushroom, spinach, and cheese omelette in the morning <g>. Part of what I like…

Chris; Close (and 5.0 would be spectacular.....), but.... Your example would actually be 1.07 F/(P+C) 72/(19+48) 72/67 = 1.07 or, for today (so far, w/o dinner), and yes, your diary is visible.... 65F / (33P + 9C) 65/42 = 1.55 Both numbers are "good" (just not quite as good as 5.0 <g>) But remember, it's just a "guide" not…

Amber; How many/day is "less carbs than usual"? I've been LCHF for about 9 months dropped average FBG from >150 to <100 as have many (most?) others in the Low Carber Daily Group - done right, it WORKS!!! (But "right" isn't the same for everybody and no, it's not a "miracle cure") If you're interested, stop on over:…

Mill; On the desktop version (I don't use mobile so it might be different steps); From your home page, click on the little scale icon (where you enter your daily weight) Scroll all the way down to bottom of the "Other Measurements" box; Click on "Track Additional Measurements" Add whatever you like (one at a time) I've…

Chris; If you (or anyone else who reads the book) would take a few minutes after you read it and post your impressions, I'd appreciate it and it might help others decide if it's "right" for them or not. Positive or negative, it matters not (I have no vested interested and I'm certainly not "bias-free") - plus I'm pretty…

Saj; Looks like that's only available in hardcover and about twice the price but for those who want hardcover it'll work (no more room on our bookshelves for more cookbooks <g>). It's weird though since the preview says "this is preview of the kindle version....", but when you click on the kindle version it goes to a dead…

Chris; You are more than welcome. Even "A" has changed over the years and you are correct that LCHF isn't the same - they do have much in common but differences as well. His approach to macros makes it much easier to both "calculate" and to "comprehend" and provides an easy to understand explanation of the "why" it…

Frob; Not necessarily. Cheeses are a "weakness" of ours as well and we consume them almost daily in one form or another. We're "lucky" though in that they don't seem to impede weight loss (although to be honest, never really tried eliminating to see if it would have an effect). In any case, I don't think it's in the…

GH; My understanding of the bell curve B-OHB results is that anything between 1.0 and 2.5 (or so) is "in the zone" and being at the "peak" of the curve isn't necessarily "better" than being on one side or the other. If that's correct, "averaging about 2.0" is about as good as it gets and you are firmly established in the…
