Stalk away! That's why I have it open! Let me know if you have any questions. I also have a blog here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/PatchEFog I'm glad to hear that the heartburn is easing up. It can be miserable, and isn't so good for your throat/esophagus if acid is washing back up. It's actually not good for your…

I did this low fat diet once, but it was impossible to maintain during and after pregnancy.

If my profile is private, it is private for a reason. Taunting and bullying me into opening it for YOUR review, repeatedly when told I will not is, in fact, inappropriate at best. My information is not your information. Deal with it. The feeling is mutual, sweetheart.

I'm not sure about your reading comprehension, but it is clearly documented that Dwayne Johnson has low carbed. Depending upon what you call low carb, and your activity/body composition, etc it can be ketogenic. Even 0.1 mmol/l blood is considered being in ketosis. So I'm not sure what you're getting at? How is this post…

Yup. https://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/dwayne-rock-johnson-bulks-fast-five-012704296.html And so did Hugh Jackman for his roles as Wolverine.

Superior? No. But harassment is trying to bully someone into opening up private information - repeatedly. It is private because it is mine. Those I befriend can see it, but you don't seem like much of a friend if you keep asking. I will give you this since MFP would not give you the values easily since I do alternate day…

Indeed, it is unfortunate for you. I stated sugar burners versus fat burners because these are two totally different ideologies. You are judging their work on a single excerpt, and as we should all know, a single excerpt does not a full book make. I eat within MY MACROS too. As just stated, I have lost 59.6+ pounds since…

http://ragingfitnessgeek.com/the-rock-dwayne-johnson-pain-gain-workout/ I have not offered, and I don't owe you anything. I will not open my profile for you to comb through since you are clearly biased and judgmental. I have lost 59.6+ pounds since 3/5/2014. If you don't like it, that's just too bad. Your harassment is not…

Unfortunately for you, Phinney and Volek advocate for ketogenic diets even for those who do not have the aforementioned conditions, but nice try at trying to twist things.

I don't believe I have misinterpreted the fact that you keep saying that a ketogenic diet is not of benefit to someone unless they have a medical condition and that there is no fat burning advantage to a ketogenic diet. You have stated this and I disagree because your statements are unfounded based on my study of the…

Maybe! LOL

Actually, Dwayne Johnson has done low carb, high protein yes. Come on, yourself. As is my prerogative. How unfortunate you have such a nasty attitude towards new members.

Niether would I, and doctors Phinney and Volek are credible scientists. They don't have to cherry pick. :) Wow. Condescending much? You likely know less on the subject than I've forgotten.

He was/is doing keto and exploring other options though he has not sorted out his issues that he's having while on keto. Keto can be of benefit to him instead of plan hopping. What he is describing is not outside of the realm of what keto people do for carb cycling. It is unfortunate that someone who is currently doing one…

Apparently, you didn't read this: http://www.examiner.com/article/high-fat-ketogenic-and-paleo-diets-gain-favor-among-athletes-like-lebron-james

What they are calling a ketogenic diet is debatable. If the test subjects were keto-adapted, which most studies do not wait for, and they were fed ketogenic diets to raise blood ketones to the 1.0-3.0 mmol/l range, it would be a true ketogenic diet. Per Phinney and Volek, this is the range for optimal fat burning, but is…

Unfortunately for you, all you see is colored by your inability to understand why someone without a "medical condition" would want to do keto, therefore when you read the OPs statement, you understand it to read something other than what it may mean. Just because someone says they want to eat pasta once a week, does not…

More woo. Again, this depends on your body and the thermogenic effect. Your blanket answer is not the answer for everyone, and it effects the other elements like body composition. Hence, why more pro athletes and body builders turn to ketogenic diets to get lean. I guess with all their sports medicine trainers and coaches,…

Blah blah blah It doesn't take that many vegetables to be inclusive of necessary micro nutrients. Don't be silly. ALL carbohydrates are not created equally and discussing them as such is grossly inaccurate. I will say it again, just for the OP and anyone interested in the keto topic: Most MFP users are clearly hostile…

I would try posting this where there is a higher concentration of people doing keto, else you are likely to get answers that are irrelevant to your way of eating (WOE). Sugar burners outnumber fat burners here on MFP.

There's nothing essential in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates aren't a food group, so he cannot possibly be depriving himself of anything that is in carbohydrates.

God, that's such a bummer. I loved my caffeine too and hated *so much* to see it go. Also, I found that I can't do coconut oil after 5pm and still expect to sleep, so any coconut oil I ingest is done before that time or I'm pinging off the walls into the wee hours. My understanding is that with ketogenic diets, serotonin…

SF Red Bull appears to not use sucralose as a sweetener, so if it's that, it's likely the caffeine. I would do a taper of it over a few days to minimize any caffeine withdrawal symptoms (headaches, especially), then stay off of it for 10 days to see how it effects you before applying other 'fixes' like the probiotic.…

Hi :) I don't do 5:2, but I have done JUDDD (Johnson's Up Day Down Day), which is similar (though they use two different calculations to obtain their BMR value: 5:2 uses Mifflin St-Jeor and JUDDD uses Harris Benedict), though can be 2 or three fasting days a week and has different percentages you can eat on those fasting…

Shhh. Let them just take the blue pill.

When cut into 8 equal pieces, each piece has about 18.1 gm fat if you top the whole thing with two cups of mozzarella and pepperoni. Being a ketogenic kinda gal, the concept of 'excessive fat' doesn't compute. But really, I hear ya'. Not from me, sorry. It's just too good, too easy and fits too well into our macros, so I…

I've seen some cauliflower crusts people like. Some people mix egg and ground beef together and make a 'crust'. The cauli one sounds like too much work for me. ;) This is one we have tried and like (including my 7yo who loves full carb pizza):…

Nothing like being supportive. :) A ketogenic diet does have a theromogenic advantage. Between that and helping with satiety, it is ideal for weight loss. It isn't everything, but neither are calories in/calories out. I believe one needs to watch both. To the OP: You likely need much more salt than what you were eating on…

Sugar burner are ye? :laugh:

I find this interesting. Thank you. :smile:
