Moon cheese!
Oh man, new favourite snack. So delicious, I've eaten a whole bag in one sitting which feels wrong, but also very right, haha. Anyone else tried these? They kind of taste like if you took the cheese powder off of cheesies and crammed it into balls, only better? And there's no weird stuff added to them which is nice. I need…

Diet tips for PCOS friendly eating as a vegetarian - is it possible to balance low carb w/ veg diet?
I've been reading up a bit on the Keto diet and reducing carbohydrates. I already eat quite a healthy diet - lots of vegetables, fruits in moderation, and I make sure I get enough protein through things like tofu, tempeh, tofurky type "fake meat" products, eggs, cheese (lots of cottage cheese), yogurt, beans and lentils,…

How do you space out your meds and supplements?
I take 100mg of spironolactone twice a day, a scoop of Inositol powder (9g), bcp, and I try to take a multivitamin most days, especially now that I have to limit fruits and veg to try to conform more to a LCHF diet. I try to space them out and take with separate meals (spiro, inositol, spiro, multi - is usually the order,…

New to LCHF...not sure it's going well
I've been gradually working toward my new low carb high fat macros and have been more or less hitting them over the last couple days, but well, I'm experiencing a lot of gastro-intestinal issues as of yesterday, and today the thought of eating high fat meals is repulsing me. Hoping my system calms down, and I'm sure an…

fyi...
If you make a sauce out of coconut oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, red wine, nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, herbamere and pepper it will taste pretty delicious, but will come out looking exactly like poo :( (((

Keto for vegetarians - any tips?
Apologies in advance if this is a controversial topic! I've learned relatively recently that I likely have a medical condition that includes insulin resistance, and it appears as though trying to limit carbs as much as possible is probably a good option. The problem is that I'm also a vegetarian, and I'm not sure if it's…

Thing I learned today: eating food raw instead of cooked = fewer calories
I did not know this. I've been eating more raw food lately which was totally incidental and mostly for convenience really, so I decided to do a little research and found this article. Thoughts/input?…

Tip for fellow pizza addicts
I'm addicted to pizza, could eat it every day. I can usually control myself and have only a couple slices, unless I've been drinking in which case I want to be a pizza black hole and absorb all the pizza in the world. If there is leftover pizza in my fridge, that's just, no - I will eat it all post-haste, cold, warm, hot,…

Question about sugar
How important is it to try to adhere to your sugar macros if you're getting them primarily from fruits and vegetables? My daily calorie goal is 1340 and it's set at 50 grams of sugar, which is hard not to exceed if I eat pretty much any fruit. For instance today I'm already over from eating: a few grapes (8g) tomato sauce…

Worst thing I learned today
A dose of Cherry flavoured NyQuil contains almost 100 calories, and 13 grams of sugar?? Worst snack of all time.

Do you ever wonder if you're getting too obsessive about food?
I've been thinking about this lately because it's a complex issue for me, I've always been interested in food on many different levels - politically, ethically, socially, culturally, and also just really loving to eat food in general. I guess my diet would be categorized as pescatarian, I've been vegan and vegetarian in…

Fibre - how much is too much?
I know that generally people don't get enough fibre if anything, and most people should aim for about 25g/day, but I've also read that too much can be problematic as well, and can hinder nutrient absorption. What I'm not sure of is how much is really too much. I know it would depend on the size of the person and other…
