Ask them why they don't like them, maybe they see red flags that you don't. Remember that if you're marrying someone you're not just marrying that person but their entire family too, so if you don't get along there will be some challenges that both of you will have to work through. As long as both of you are on the same…

I've been sort of responding to what my body wants. If I'm CONSTANTLY craving sugar, I go strict keto for awhile. Once I'm ok, I might have a carby treat or two, or maybe do low carb for a bit. I've been doing IF 20/4 for awhile and that's been really great. I get to eat big dinners like I'm used to and snack at night and…

This one looks good: http://genaw.com/lowcarb/mock_potato_soup.html

I posted mine a few months ago in this forum, I'm sure if you searched for blood work you'd find a few examples.

Hello! If you haven't found it yet, this FAQ is super helpful and what I was using when I first started. Your macros seem fine, low carb, high fat, moderate protein. In general people stick around 20g net carbs or less for Keto, especially when you're first starting. Remember that MFP does not calculate net carbs - ie…

We all have those moments where we kinda beat ourselves up over little things. I say step on the scale so you know where you're at and then you'll be able to see how much you are losing in the next few weeks. Keep in mind if you just ate a pile of carbs it will be mostly water weight. Weight loss is not linear :) My #1…

My snacking is out of control, I'm still a snack o holic just on different things now :)

Parsnip chips, kale chips, zucchini chips, cheese (like parmesan) chips, pepperoni chips (pepperoni nuked in the microwave or baked until crispy) and pork rinds are the best "chip" alternatives I've found. I really like pork rinds because they come in flavors like hot & spicy and BBQ, and the plain ones you can add popcorn…

I feel the sniffles coming on too, I bought a big pack of sugar free cough drops just in case. Broth sounds really good actually.. now you have me thinking about making some tonight :) I found some really good broth recipes for ramen soup (minus the noodles of course) but I don't have any bones to make bone broth with.

I wouldn't do an egg fast but would be open to a zero carb WOE for a few days, ie eggs, bacon, heavy cream, fat bombs, tea, coffee, water.

That's great! I've noticed this WOE is great for using during surgery as well. Since your body doesn't have to focus on inflammation so much it can focus on healing itself. My dentist was shocked at how well my surgery and healing went, I had to have a baby tooth removed and an implant put in and he said he had wished he…

I like to just have coffee with a good amount of heavy cream in it, but if you want something quick to nibble on I highly recommend keto breakfast "muffins". I bought silicone muffin cups for it - DON'T put them straight in the muffin tin because they will get stuck no matter how non-stick it is! With silicone muffin cups…

I keep mine below 30 and am usually in the "trace" range on ketostix.

Ok - I tried using the immersion blender for my coffee, and it made a GIANT mess.. LOL. BPC may be a weekend only thing, or maybe I'll stick to making bullet proof tea at night :)

They used to sell it in Canada under the Maple Leaf brand then discontinued it a few years back. I've found a very similar if not better version in Seattle from a shop called Bavarian Meats. I slice it up like pepperoni and pan fry it until crispy.

Awee I'm so glad that's working and he's happy! And omg puppies! I love puppies so much, I wish I could have one but we are in an apartment. You'll have no problem finding homes for them for sure. Thx for the update :)

That darn Carbage fairy keeps leaving sour patch kids and pringles around the house. She even brought me Lindt chocolates, my favorite. I have been giving them to my daughter instead! Tillamook cheese is great, I love pepperjack and their marble cheese.. idk what Americans call it. Colby Jack? It's good! I also have feta,…

What kind of sausage do you make? My all time favorite is blood pudding, I would have it every weekend when I was a kid. It sounds gross but it's very good for you and high in fat to boot. Dang I'm going to have to go buy some now!

That sounds like a nightmare. Everyone and their mom would be tying their fitbit to their dogs and just letting them loose for the day, lol.

I recently bought a fitbit flex 2 because all I mostly care about is steps and all of the wrist ones weren't accurate. My arms aren't always swinging, I'm usually holding my daughters hand, carrying coffee, pushing a cart etc. This one is nice because you can wear it as a necklace or a wrist band, and I think there's…

My daily "goal" is 10g but I do my best not to hit it. Most things I have are unsweetened, but peanut butter, veggies and such have low amounts of naturally occurring sugar.

I eat brussel sprouts with low carb dieting, you subtract the fiberand only count net carbs anyway. They are fantastic with bacon, olive oil and walnuts!

5ft 7 SW: 308 CW: 253 GW: 150 All aboard the struggle bus.. up 2 this week, lol. I'm still bouncing around the same few lbs. I did see 249 on the 21st and 22nd then boom right back up again after wing night, even picking the carb friendly wings. I seem to do really well on Thurs/Fri then it goes back up on Sat/Sun. Maybe…

Wow BaconSan that's a great loss!

@cstehansen Re - football game snacks - I just made buffalo cauliflower bites that were pretty good, and traditional unbreaded chicken wings are perfect. If you want nachos, you can bake up a few low carb tortillas until crunchy, crunch them up into chips and add any low carb toppings you want (cheese, beef, sausage,…

@RAC56 You are allowed to shop around for doctors, I'd be calling around until I found someone that supported or was at LEAST open minded to this WOE. Doctors should be continuously learning as part of their jobs anyway, science is always in flux as we learn more and more. For those in the US - lab work falls under your…

Put your littlest one in a moby wrap type thing or put him in a stroller and take the two year old to the park or on a walk. I miss the moby wrap phase :( If you find yourself exhausted or overtired focus more on what you're eating rather than a strenuous workout. Light workouts will be key.. you're still healing. Some…

People that are in these classes are probably sweating too much to focus on anyone else but themselves. I think you should sign up for what interests you most and have fun!

This is where I'm lost, I don't know what I'm actually burning. Plus I'm assuming people who are working out that are much heavier than others are going to burn more, so I don't know how to calculate my calories burned during an at home workout.

I just got the fitbit flex 2 because you can wear it on your wrist or in a necklace. My arms are not always swinging so a lot of the time my steps weren't counted. Anytime I pushed a cart, stroller, held my daughters hand or held my coffee, nothing counted! I really like fitbit products because they play nice with MFP and…
