I'm not technically doing keto, but sometimes I end up there. My goal is fewer than 50 carbs a day (doc said it has to be fewer than 100 and 50 is what I picked). Sometimes if I have a run of low days I'll definitely be in ketosis but most of the time I am sort of straddling the fence. But, down 37 lbs in 150 days so I'm…

I made some stew a few days ago using riced cauliflower. It was great. By the time it was reheated for leftovers the cauliflower had sort of disappeared though, like it melted into the broth.

I use this Firefox plug in. It shows net carbs when you use the web version. (Copied) Go to this link: https://github.com/Surye/mfp-keto-userscript Install the script. Note, because of the way Firefox and Chrome now work you’ll have to install greasemonkey (firefox) or tampermonkey (chrome) and then the script. This is…

And THAT'S another THING!! Football! Let me inform you... *tears off on a complete rant on whether it's rugby, football and the difference between football and soccer....!*[/quote] Better look up the etymology before you go down that street.

I think there are people in this thread who do not know what holistic means.

This is the first time I have been excited about my next round of blood work.

My husband is Danish, and we go to Denmark every few years to see his family. One of the dishes I enjoy most there is leverpostej (liver pate). It's a regular dish for them there, you can buy them in any supermarket deli freshly made. They eat it on their famous open faced sandwiches (smørrebrød) with toppings such as…

I hear if you take double it increases kidney function too.

I just got one for $15.99 for review, so for that I'll try it.

I don't have a full meal plan to share, but there are several easy meals that I eat often. I make a bowl I call pizza toppings, that is ground beef, fresh mozzarella, and a little low carb spaghetti sauce. It's surprisingly good. I also do tuna salad on a low carb pita with a couple of eggs chopped in it and love that.…

You're not giving it enough time. You don't actually lose 5-7 lbs of fat the first week, likely most of it is water. That rate of loss isn't sustainable. Also, in the background while you are ACTUALLY losing weight, it's catching up under the guise of that 5-7 lbs of water weight. You have to give it time for the actual…

Are there just people who go through here and mark everything that talks about low carb with woo? I really don't get it.

My advice, based on my own situation, is: - determine why you are doing keto - talk to your doctor about it I am on a doctor prescribed low carb diet because my triglycerides came back high during my annual physical. Low carb as defined by my doctor was "stay under 100g a day". I tend to stay under about 50, so I'm…

No you make it.

I had my first Quest bar experience this week. I was flying and knew the options on the plane would be carby (I'm on a doctor prescribed low carb plan) so I tucked two of them into my bag. I had the chocolate chip cookie dough variety and actually loved them. I even liked the texture, because it took some time to eat and…

278.5, so 1 lb less than last Wed.

Thanks, found it!

When I click on you there’s no option to friend you.

Could you have misunderstood what your doctor said?

This helped me figure it out. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-dry-cottage-cheese.htm

Initially you will lose a lot of water weight. Then while you are actually losing real weight it may seem like the number isn’t moving, but you are making progress. Realistically losing a pound a week is a good rate.

There are a few that claim to be keto, but it really depends on how many grams of carbs you are aiming for. I haven't seen one yet that aims for fewer than 20 a day, but there are some that are low carb and might work for you, depending at what level of carbs lets you go into ketosis. Kosher, I don't know but it's worth…

So here's the funny rest of the story. I was there doing a secret shop. At the time I did tons of shops and they were old hat to me, but when I saw the roach I lost my composure, jumped up and exclaimed something that I don't remember. The server whisked the plate away and then the manager visited. He offered to make…

I do this too, but instead of toast I melt fresh mozzarella on top. I’m on a doctor prescribed low carb eating plan and this is great for that.

This explains a bit of it. https://www.verywell.com/carbs-in-dairy-products-2242511

That's fair.

I guess what I don't understand is, if you aren't about keto or low carb, why keep coming to the thread to evangelize against it? Just pass by the thread.

Yup, time to recalculate.

Maybe we should just ice all of our food and eat it super cold too, to lose more weight! Yeah, that's the ticket.

Today I picked up Lemon Cake Halo Top and Frozen Hot Chocolate Enlightened. Can't wait to try them. I usually eat 1/4 to 1/2 of the pint at a time, just a couple of times a week - so I have been able to avoid any potential intestinal distress.
