Ok, and can see how that might be the case, but I thought it was the phlebotomist that said that, not someone that would have her chart. Need to go back and re-read all the above posts.

^^ great advice. But hey, the larger sizes have more pounds between them, and as you go down, you'll notice the difference doesn't take as long. For example, now that I'm wearing smaller sizes, it doesn't take much at all (5 lbs or so) to make things too darn tight. I know this because I just came back from an indulgent…

I do, but I waited until I got closer to goal. I use about 5 grams in a dessert I like to make. I use heavy 60 - 90 mL whipping cream, 5g - 16g peanut butter (sugar free), 4-6g honey, and 1mL of vanilla extract (pure with no sugar) and whip it all together into "peanut butter cream". It's delicious and fatty and filling,…

I say keep it fun and balance the cardio with the weight bearing exercises.

The biggest reminder for me is that hubby can't seem to keep his hands off me. It's awesome! There are other reminders, of course, but that is the most fulfilling.

^^^What she said! scallops shrimp brussels sprouts asparagus cheese of all kinds chicken sausage cream cheese stuffed peppers hard boiled eggs beef tenderloin, of course turkey then use the bacon grease to saute all your veggies!

Great inspiration! And forgive my ignorance, but why would a 79 blood sugar (was it fasting?) be a problem for anyone? Is that super low or something? Mine usually runs around that number, and it has been lower. Granted, I don't have diabetes, but nobody has panicked over numbers around 80. Educate me.

Great job, McCloud! Really well done.

June 7, 2014.....about 190 lbs.

alcohol is a well known bladder irritant. if you are now drinking more water than you were on top of drinking alcohol pretty heavily, then this may be the cause.

How far along are you in this journey? My guess is you are low on potassium, sodium, and magnesium.

I think this depends on the person's metabolism, expectations, wanted rate of loss, etc. Also, if you are hungry on LCHF, you are probably not eating enough fat and/or calories for YOU. Maybe bump your fat % up by 5% and see if that helps. Also, I recommend you try to eat your allotment every day unless you are sick or…

pork belly slices for making my own bacon

What do you call a pig that does karate? Pork Chop.

Creed Aventus is great, depending upon batch. How about Tom Ford's Tabacco Vanille?

sausages with grilled pepper and onions, no bun burgers ought to be alright unless they hand pack them and use cracker or bread crumbs in them. just don't eat the bun. pickles turkey legs some pulled pork bbq with coleslaw (some sauces are sweet instead of vinegar based depending on where you live)...no bun

^^RatRaceOne...great taste!

I was wondering if there were any other scent enthusiasts here. I have over 50 perfumes and probably hundreds of small vials, and enjoy them all, but my all time favorites are: Hermes Ambre Narguile Boucheron Trouble Dior Addict (before they reformulated it to IFRA's new standards) Chanel Coco Noir Balenciaga Paris Yves…

Here is my graph. Fluctuations are going to happen. I don't have my trendlines in here, but I have my goal line. See how I adjusted from about a 2 lb per week rate of loss, to a 1 lb per week, then a .5 lb per week rate of loss goal (red line). Then see how my weight loss actually progressed (blue line).

OMG @ coretemp...F1 driver Rubens Barrichello's twin!

Dragonwolf said everything perfectly. Also, did I notice you take prednisone? If so, that is a reported side effect by lots of users.

I've read some stuff about psoriasis being helped with Omega 3 fatty acids and a better ratio of them to Omega 6 in the diet. Don't have any science to back that up, though. It may be worth looking into.

I don't know...that's 800 calories in just butter alone each day. What about fats from other foods like meats and cheeses and heavy whipping cream? Will you get enough protein? I don't know your calorie goal or if you have one, but these are just things to look into. I don't think fat fasts are bad, I just think you should…

Can't see your diary. Are you drinking alcohol? ETA: I just re-read that and it sounds like the statement and question go together. They do not. Alcohol consumption can be a barrier to ketosis in some folks.

this is great. we are all different and base our versions of lchf on our personal preferences, health goals, weight goals, and medical problems. for instance, i'm one here that doesn't use artificial sweeteners, but it is not because i don't want to, it is because i have interstitial cystitis (ulcerative/inflamed bladder…
