The r/ketogains wiki has a section on this http://www.reddit.com/r/ketogains/wiki/index#wiki_macronutrients.3A_timing.2C_quality_for_keto_and_sports "Protein has both ketogenic effects (46%) and anti-ketogenic effects (58%). This reflects the fact that 58% of dietary protein will appear in the bloodstream as glucose,…

Welcome! Am I understanding correctly that you lost 22 pounds since you started on 09-06-13? If so that's a really amazing loss! Congratulations either way though, you are off to a great start! I have noticed that after a big loss I can go for weeks without losing anything at all. Stalls are normal even when you are…

Has anyone else read the news stories lately regarding the addictive nature of Oreos. I noticed in all of the articles it highlights the food as "high-fat/high-sugar" effectively demonizing both equally (though it's worth noting that in every single article I saw "high fat" was mentioned first). The thing is that the…

I do something very similar to this and it has worked for me. I just called it mental preparedness/visualization. It's kind of a two part thing because one part is thinking about mistakes and every reason why I don't want the same error again and using that information to mentally prepare myself for the future. The other…

I eat them. I have had no issues with them. That being said, it would probably be better if I didn't eat them, but there are a couple reasons that I do. One reason is that I don't ever feel like I want to eat a real sugar filled treat because I can have those and still stay on plan since they fit in my macros and some are…

Hello! There's a group on MFP called "Firming It Up" that focuses on this and there are some helpful tips there. These are the tips I've heard from looking into this myself - - Drink lots of water. - Dry brushing and exfoliating. - Moisturizing. - Wraps (I wouldn't spend money on these, but you could make your own). -…

The wikipedia entry regarding this is very short. I read some other articles about it and the consensus seems to be that is is a very rare occurrence, but it makes me wonder if occurrences like this happen to a lesser degree and are never diagnosed. I feel like there's a lot not fully understood yet about gastrointestinal…

I subtract fiber and sugar alcohols from my total carb count.

Female - 33 - 5'8" - 1,210 I do an hour cardio a day and I'll often eat back some of the calories earned from exercise too.

We just get large diet pop or water and eat before or after the movie. One theater near us sells hot dogs and my SO got one there before and just didn't eat the bun. Other than that there's not much else, at least not in the theaters around here. It would be nice if they all sold roasted nuts or something that we could eat.

Absolutely! My very first post on MFP was about just that. It was on October 2012 and I was down 61 pounds at that point. After I made that post I haven't missed a day of logging and though at the time I made the post I was working out on a regular basis, I decided on the day after Christmas to up the ante and get in an…

The only kind I can ever find at regular grocery stores is in the freezer section or the dried Bob's Red Mill kind as mentioned above. Thank you nancycaregive for mentioning that Kroger's has some. I don't do my regular grocery shopping there but there is one near my work I go to sometimes on my lunch break. I'll have to…

You can melt coconut oil and mix in things like unsweetened coconut, nuts, flax, peanut butter, flavor extracts, cocoa powder, etc. then stick it in the freezer to harden (if you pour it in a flexible container you can pop it right out once it's hard).

I do. We get free pop at work and I drink Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite Zero, etc. I usually drink one or 2 cans day, I used to drink more but now they offer bottled water as well so I drink that sometimes instead. Sometimes we'll have some diet pop around the house too or when we go out to eat. I also drink a good bit of…

Interesting article. What about insoluble fiber though? I don't think that distinction was made in the article between soluble and insoluble fiber and from what I understand as far as digestion goes they have opposite effects. Aside from that, there were many good points made that are worth looking into more. Thanks for…

Thanks for the reply. It was very helpful! I was also wondering if it could be used as a thickener in sauces, but from what I've been reading it doesn't sound like it. I was also wanting to know if it would work as a binder in things like meatballs.

I said little edit because it was literally a little edit, but I wanted to reply to it. I did not know the person prior to my replies here, but they did tell me later in a short message later that said I clarified what they were trying to say. I messed up the quotes on my last post too. :smile: edited this one too - to…

Just noticed your little edit there at the end. [/quote] "All of the above still does not 'make it ok' to apply blanket statements when the blanket statement is complaining about people making blanket statements." [/quote] I never said it did. I said that I didn't believe that was the intention in the first place.

The frustration that I'm talking about is not about people giving friendly advice or sharing their own unique experiences. The frustration is about this mob mentality that is sometimes present against LC dietary plans that are greatly beneficial to many people (if you do not do that then this does not apply to you). Also,…

accidentally double posted - see next post

I don’t believe that the frustration expressed here at the beginning of this post is really about young men that don’t wear shirts, it just seems like a quick way for the poster to make a point/example that that person in question is so far removed from them and not simply because of age/ gender/ shirt status, but because…

I've heard this type of thing a lot - "Low carb isn't good. I tried it before and I lost a lot of weight, but once I stopped doing it, I just gained everything back." What other dietary plan gets so much blame for what happens AFTER a person stops following it?

I just went to Goodwill earlier today and came back with loads of stuff. I love it! It is great motivation and an affordable way to keep up with clothes when you are shrinking. Now that I'm losing weight shopping for clothes is fun again.

Okay, I just called the 1-800 number on their webpage and asked about the carb count. They told me it's actually 7 carbs, not 6. That still sounds very low. They answered the question quickly so I wonder if they've gotten other calls about this. What do you all think? FYI - I asked specifically about the pepperoni one. I…

Wow! I so want to believe this nutrition info is true but, like many others here, I have my doubts. I'm going to try to find them though. Red Baron was my favorite brand of frozen pizza back when I was a CARBivore.

Another free ebook. I spooted it in the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section on Amazon. Easy Low Carb Meals: Go Low Carb with Superfoods or the Paleo Life…

You're welcome! It looks like the first one is no longer free, but the last two still are.

Thanks for sharing this! My goal is very similar to what yours was (as you can see in my ticker below). So far I have lost 116.8 so I'm not there yet, but I'm on my way! It's so helpful to see success stories like yours. Congratulations! I love your shirt in the second photo by the way. Where did you get it?

Hello, I'm originally from Marshall county and I now live in Marion County.

Kiramaniac, What form do you take the prebiotics in? I looked on Walmart's webpage and I've only found the prebiotics in the form of gummies which are not carried at my local store and probiotics which I already have. I guess I could order them online, but I was hoping I could find them in a pill form like I did with my…
