Thanks ya'll for your answers and ideas and links. I know I need to start eating liver, especially since we have local grass-fed bison available. I just gotta kick my butt to do it. *embarrassed* But for the veg side, for myself, I will probably go with a modified Wahls Protocol (an approximate daily 1:1:1 ratio of leaves,…

This is good to know, thank you. I'm glad now that I hadn't tried stevia yet. That could've ended badly. :(

The ony "diet" I've tried before now is the Whole30 one. It's basically just a 30-Day challenge to help people adjust their taste buds. You eat mostly fresh whole natural foods while drastically reducing processed foods (yogurt's ok, corn chips not), to cut out chemical additives, fillers, get higher quality ingredients,…

Look up fat loss whooshes, is that similar to what you are talking about? Also, while I do weigh myself each day, I don't pay much attention to it beyond how it affects my trend weight. Trend weight is a 7 or 10 day moving average. In other words, a 7-Day Avg takes the total of the most recent weigh-in plus the previous 6…

There is a difference between saying a) some people can eat foods they crave, in moderation, without worrying about binging vs b) because those people can, therefore you (OP, and everyone else) should do so, too There is also a difference between saying c) some people can't (yet) moderate the foods they crave, so they…

I just looked up what IIFYM meant. But even they say I see nothing yet specifically contradictory to LCHF. 1. Both figure out the required amount of protein specific to the individual, the individual's goals, and activity level. 2. Both say that if you are already lean or are looking to bulk up, then eat more carbs. (LCHF…

Understandable. And kudos for finding something that worked for you. Seriously. (I like hearing about successes.) Can you recognize, though, that some people (who aren't you) might feel that type and strength of craving every time they eat pastas, breads, cakes, candies, etc? And that they might need more practice saying…

You admit that if a person craves a food strong enough, then they're at risk of binging on it. But they are judged wrong for avoiding those cravings? For practicing saying no to the cravings? And for not rewarding those cravings? Saying no to those cravings, and avoiding the foods that encourage those cravings doesn't mean…

My wake up call was when I was randomly perusing the internet and came across a site that suggested that humans have an avg heartbeat life span. (Not saying I believed it.) i got curious and put on my heart rate monitor to find out my end of day after an hour of relaxation, what my heartbeat was. It was high enough to…

I look back on where I was and start listing all the benifits I've gained so far. I thank my past self for starting the process to begin with. Then I consider my future self, maybe just a month or two ahead from now. What can I do which she will be grateful for? How can I help her improve her chances and opportunities? I…

This morning was the start of my first day doing keto. I'm 42yo and highly motivated to use up about 60-80 lbs of excess stored energy. I use the MFP iPain app (which doesn't seem like a pain) and because I'm home all day I will likely be on a few times each day. I'm open to having some MFP-active friends who I can at…

To help wean my bf and daughter off of sodas, we bought one of those at-home soda makers. These basically carbonate some water after which you then add a flavoring. There are flavoring syrups, but I used frozen juice concentrate. Since you are in charge of how much flavoring you use, you can gradually cut down on it as…
