Who we are and why we do the things we do
I'm feeling all deep and philosophical today guys. Bare with me, I'm going to try really really hard to be brief. This isn't really "diet" related but the links I included could lead to some personal understanding or growth that benefits you in that area. Ok, lets ride! I am in a kind of funky, down but also uplifted mood…

There is no such thing as a "stall"
I apologize for the length of this. But I hope it's helpful. :smile: Yes, I am being so bold as to declare that there is no such thing as a stall. Maybe there is if you're talking about the number on the scale not moving, but not in progress of your body changing and becoming more healthy and not carrying too much fat. And…

Class Of 2016
I really love the idea of shining a spotlight on the folks that were new to low carb starting anytime in 2016. I think it's a great opportunity to encourage the incoming 2017 class by showing them what they can potentially achieve in just one year or less. Sometimes I think it's not as impressive to hear from those of who…

You've gotta love Tom Naughton
"With all these healthy choices sitting on the shelves in grocery stores and cafeterias all over America, I predict the nation’s diabetes crisis will soon be nothing but a bad memory."

Blog post discussing why you might not be losing weight on low carb or keto. Not the usual suspects
This covers some in depth science about why you may be able to initially release fat from the cell but that is not the same as burning (oxidizing) the fat which is what will create the fat reduction.

Let's not forget how Hansel and Gretel were made fat.

T1D, terrible water retention on low carb and insulin pump
I think this is going to end up an odd, mystery situation that will just end up with a trip to the ER, but I'm just wondering if anyone may have any knowledge that may at least give some direction in figuring this out.

Confused about calorie adjustment after getting a fitness tracker.
I had been using my iPhone as my step tracker and any calories burned from steps would always give extra calories to eat which I typically wouldn't but I could still see what I earned each day and I liked that.
