Crack Slaw
http://www.food.com/recipe/crack-slaw-low-carb-434863 I know a few of us make this (if you don't you should). But I haven't been making it as I really can't be bothered with all the effort and the mess of slicing up a cabbage (lazy I know, but when I get home from work it's all too hard :) ) And then, something life…

Have you ever thought about where your food issues come from?
My father was a European immigrant when he was a child - one of 11 kids and an alcoholic father, and they had been poor, and hungry. Growing up, dinners in my house consisted of being served a meal as big as my Dad ate, and then being screamed at until it was all eaten. Praise was delivered for having a big appetite and…

Motivation
I've talked before about how diabetes in my family motivates me to eat Keto. Type 2 diabetes destroyed my Dad's arteries, causing his first heart attack at 50 - resulting in a quadruple bypass. His inability over the next few years to control his diabetes saw his health deteriorate. For the last few years he's been unable…

Still not losing
I do hate to go on about it, but it's getting beyond frustrating. Super strict on calorie intake, no processed/fake sugar etc. Lower protein, carbs under 30, drinking water, going for walks, taking my supplements, plenty of salt, not stressed, sleeping fine. Even took a laxative yesterday thinking maybe I'm "stopped up".…

What the actual F MFP?
So I have paid premium membership to MFP. Means no ads, right? Then WHY is this garbage on my news feed today? I've lodged a complaint to support, seems every day there's carb laden cr@p on my feed. I'm sick of it.

Lunch this week
Chicken and Pumpkin Salad 80g roasted butternut pumpkin 60g cooked chicken breast 15g sliced red onion 20g rocket leaves 25g baby spinach 25g danish feta (Danish feta is much creamier than Greek feta and tends to dissolve a bit and create a creamy type dressing - but you could use either) 1 tbsp Newmans -…

Things I can do now I'm 30kg lighter
I've had horses my whole life, but I was not a brave rider when I was heavier. Now I can do this (yesterday, at riding club, my young horse's first outing)

Super Simple Protein Balls
Made these last night at home, no recipe, just pulled some things out of the cupboard. Super simple Protein balls. 80g Protein Powder of your choice (I have a chocolate one I like) 60g Almond flour 80g melted butter 25g desiccated coconut *if you use unflavoured protein powder you can add flavouring such as cocoa, coffee…

Protein/Fat question
I've been doing this a long time as many of you know but I keep reading "if your body is high fat all you need is low carb" so it got me thinking - maybe if I eat less dietary fat I'll lose more than the 1kg a month I seem to manage. The problem is, I can't work out how to do that. If I drop my fat down to 90g (assuming I…

Clean eating low sugar?
Just curious how many of you do clean eating without a heap of sugar? I notice a lot of the foods mentioned in some of the posts are very high sugar/carb. Natural sugar is still sugar.

February Challenge 2017
Not sure if we have one of these already, but I find it good to have a mini goal and somewhere to check in. I'm thinking a weightloss goal, and a mindful goal. My current weight: 88.8kg My goal for end of February: 86kg My mindful goal is to increase my physical activity in day to day life (not designated exercise).

Liquid smoke - need your help/ideas
Okay, so this is predominantly an American product. I found it on the shelf of our gourmet supermarket which has a couple of isles of "international" foods. The one I bought was made in the US. Can't remember the brand but it says 0 carbs on the back and says it's good to put on steaks etc. It's also the consistency of…

NKR - headache/migraine
Not really keto related, more reaching out to see if you guys have any ideas. For the last 6 years - 3 to 4 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less - I wake up at about 3am with an excruciating pain in my right temple and behind my eye. Always on this side. I can feel my pulse beating in my temple (sometimes I can see…

Magnesium and potassium
I've been doing keto for a long time. I never get leg cramps etc. But I often wonder, how do I know I'm getting enough magnesium and potassium? I mean I must be, as I don't have any symptoms, but what foods do these come from? Only thing I consciously add is salt. But I like salt. I have a salt grinder and I add it to…

The difference - a reminder
I posted this as a comment but I think it deserves it's own post. I was 123kg, I'm now 89. I honestly can't tell the difference in the mirror. 34kg gone and I still see a fat person. But there are so many things that are easier or better now. I can fly in cattle class and not be squished and uncomfortable. Same at the…

A shock ...
A little background. I'm 42yo female. 5'10". Currently 90.5kg. Last year I had surgery, and stopped tracking for a bit while I was recovering. I gained weight at the rate of pretty much a KG a week - and I wasn't eating anything crazy. By July I got things back on track and started back filling in my diary every day.…

Cream Whipper
I just ordered one of these online. I really like guilt free diet jelly with a bit of cream, but just pouring it on is not great, and I can't be bothered manually whipping cream when I only need a little bit. I figure it will have a lot of air in it coming out of the cream whipper too, so a little bit will be a lot in…

A normal day
A lot of newbies as what they should eat, what does a normal day look like? This is a normal day for me, I don't switch it up much. I'll vary my lunches, sometimes it'll be chicken breast, or roast beef, boiled egg etc. Sometimes I'll have a can of oysters instead of the protein bar after dinner. The butter and cream are…

Question - spacing out carbs
I've upped my carbs a little - to 40g a day (after being under 20g for a long time). Main reason is to allow a little flexibility in my diet, while still staying under calorie limit and not triggering the hunger that comes with eating too many carbs. I mainly plan to add a bit more vegetables etc. Still no bread, pasta,…

Surviving Xmas
It's possible to survive the perils of Xmas unscathed and without missing out - just takes a little planning and some careful choices. We went out to Xmas lunch with hubby's family yesterday - it was an all you can eat buffet type thing. One full wall of desserts and lots of battered and pastried and rice and pasta foods.…

Anyone with Premium? I have a question.
Under "Reports" what does "net calories" indicate? It seems a fair bit lower than the report for "calories" but I can't work out what it means.

Inches lost ...
Can someone explain to me how this works? I mean if I measured my waist after a month I could say "oh look, I've lost 0.75 inches". Or if I measured my waist, boobs, hips, neck, thigh, and arm I could say "well look at that, I've lose 4 inches". If I measured enough parts on my body I could say "holy cow, I've lost 50…

Herman Brot Bread Australia
They've just started advertising this. Supposedly 5.4g carbs for 2 slices. So I bought a loaf and yesterday I had 2 slices with egg for lunch instead of my normal baked chicken/egg etc. 15g carbs for the whole day including this bread. By 2pm yesterday I was starving. By the time I got home from work I had a headache. This…

For my Aussie friends - saw this on TV
https://hermanbrot.com.au/products/low-carb-bread/ Looks like an actual low carb bread, not a "lower carb" bread that still has 20g per slice. This one has 5.4g carbs per 2 slices. Something worth having on occasion when the desire for toast hits? :)

Fitness Tracker - Misfit Shine
I know this probably belongs in the fitness category, but I try and avoid the main forums where possible. I've had a fitbit for quite a while, I find it motivates me a bit - I like how it integrates with MFP and shows me my calorie burn/deficit for the day. Helps to keep me accountable you might say. But the fitbit is not…

Misleading food packaging
I work in the food and wine sector. Today we had some products to try, and give feed back on both the product and the packaging. (informal focus group). There were "yogurt coated cranberry balls" and "chocolate coated honeycomb balls". I did not eat them for obvious reasons. What I did note however was that they had…

Results of not tracking.
For the last 3 weeks I haven't been tracking my food intake in my diary. Quite frankly after 2 years (and I just had surgery) I needed to relax a little. I have not, however, ate anything that would tip me over my 20 g carbs a day. Yes I'm sure. I'm not eating vegetables, or artificial sweetener, or "fake baking" or bars,…

Not Keto Related - Need Therapy
I work in a call center. This was my last phone call. What kind of Friday *kitten* is this? This customer has been manually paying his account despite having cancelled it. He called to ask why we are still billing him despite him cancelling it. Explained to him that we are not billing him, his account is in credit and we…

Deemed Unhealthy by Work Health and Wellness Survey
Apparently I don't know anything about nutrition and I'm reasonably unhealthy as I said in my work health and wellness survey that I eat 0 serves of fruit and vegetable. They suggested ways to improve my diet. In the section of the survey where they asked about barriers I had to being healthy, I said the only barrier I had…
