After the carbs comes the ???.
I hear a lot about carbs making people feel 'yukky' but what does this mean? Three questions: 1. Especially for newbies, how do you identify symptomatically when you just over did the 'poison'? Let's compile the list and try and be specific. 2. How many carbs do you have a day and how many does it take before feeling the…

What is this alchemy we believe in?
I found myself with unabating thirst this morning and of course the first thing that came to mind was - Pass the salt please! As fast as the thought appeared it was followed with - Hmm how illogical that would sound to most, so I thought I would survey the ways in which we turn the world in a slightly illogical (to Mr…

Office fitness ideas??
I was wondering if any of you would be able to share ideas for maintaining body tone or simply to not have to say you are completely sedentary when working in a office.

Feeling amazing but....sleeping less and less to the point where 4 hours is good now! I turn off tech well before bed, have a dark room, regular…

Chocolate anybody?
I don't miss sugar, cake, cookies etc but I do like a bit of dark, dark, soul soothing, exotic tasting chocolate. Even low carb commercial offerings have too much of the evil carb & sugar for me so - undaunted - I now make my own. It's dark, a little bitter, adaptable and to me, an almost spiritual experience - especially…

Anyone else not ever feel the need to eat or am I the only freak of nature?
So rarely making it to 500 Cals a day and without trying to reduce intake is bad right? I wish I could get to even 800. I even threw myself out of ketosis (and up to 150g carb) for a week to try and boost my system, but then got right back into ketosis with no cravings, flu or hunger - just a sigh of relief. I love LCHF, I…
