Question about making your meals Ketogenic
If I'm eating something that is not super ketogenic - let's say some strawberries and whipping cream, which only rates about 1.22 on my ketogenic ratio calculator - can I just do something like add a tablespoon of coconut oil to the the cream to increase the grams of fat in the meal - now making it a 2.36 on the ketogenic…

Drinking more water!
One of the things I've wanted to increase has been my daily water intake. To that end, I picked up this Rubbermade water bottle from Walmart for $5 bucks. It has both oz and mL marked on it and holds a full 64oz of water. Well, it's not even noon yet, and I'm already down to about 20 oz left! It's been so easy to drink it…

"Low carb hate" rant....
Need to rant! I didn't realize there was still so much low carb hate out there, and so many people who are convinced that it's unhealthy... I've done many different diets over the years, and comparing them, low carb has been the best, hands down. Best for weight loss, best for hunger control, best for energy, but there…

Hi There!
Hi There, I've been lurking around here for about a week or so, figure it's about time I introduce myself. I'm doing a LCHF WOE, started about 2 months ago. I've been diagnosed as pre-diabetic, have PCOS, IR, metabolic syndrome, and an underactive thyroid. Experience with many diets over the year have proven to me that LC…
