Bone Broth nutrition
Hi all, After spending my weekend googling, I am still a bit confused, so I am hoping you can help. OH has started 5:2 so I now need to calorie count my home made bone broths. I have googled right left and center but been unable to find the information I am looking for. After a roast, I usually re-cook the bones for a base…

Pulled thigh muscle
Apparently I cannot be trusted to walk across the floor without stepping on the cats food bowl and ending up doing the splits by accident. I had no idea I could do it, and f r e a k i n g hell did it hurt! Took me a good 5 mins to get my legs back out of it. So here I am, one painful leg, one bruised black knee and one…

Low Fat Avocado?
I am not sure how I feel about this new Spanish avocado. 30% less fat and of course lower in calories too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-41594264 Isla Bonita claims their Avocado Light has up to 30% less fat than ordinary fruits. They also say it ripens faster, and oxidises - or goes that weird shade of brown -…

Ta daaaaa
I am back! Well will be on Monday, I am celebrating this weekend. After 18 miserable, emotional and painful days, my doctor took me off gluten. Diagnosed as Celiac due to the severity of my symptoms. I must be the happiest Celiac around. My poor other half has nursed me through this nightmare. He was amazing. Now I just…

What made you
Choose LCHF? I fell into this woe, what made you choose it? Cannot sleep (again) so hoping to get to know you guys a little bit better. 2 years ago I found out I cannot tolerate gluten. It makes me ill for days. But even after giving up gluten I had issues with bloating, no energy etc. I followed CICO for a while and I…

Voodoo dolls?
Can anyone recommend a good brand of voodoo dolls that will work well on auditors and upper management, or do I need to buy two separate types to gain the effect I want? I don't mind buying the extra sets of needles or different sizes, but I need to ensure I do not mix up the various dolls. Preferably I would like them to…

Oh boy... lamb galore...
So my shopping just arrived, the other half wants roast lamb for Sunday dinner, so ordered my lamb, got twice the size! Sure the supermarket are refunding me the difference, but that still leaves me with a lamb leg twice the size of what I wanted and need? Any ideas guys? Do I trim it before and freeze down some or cook…

Chicken skin nutrition
I eat a lot of chicken, some days I do take the skin off it to avoid getting over my fat goal for example, but I prefer to leave it on if it fits into my goals. When I take the chicken skin off, I do not throw it away, I generally freeze it after chopping it up in smaller pieces and freeze them. Later I will slow fry these…

The Popcorn Dilemma
So I had this craving for popcorn, it has been steady for weeks. Just plain salty popcorn. Today I gave in. I bought my favourite brand, settled in with my favourite program and opened up the pack of deliciousness. After sniffing it, I took a great handful and literally showed it in my mouth, oh the flavour, the taste, the…

Hog roast on mini crackling plates
Has anyone got an idea of how to make these pork scratching plates at home? Perfect for LCHC canapés. I mean just the pork scratching disks, as I want to make them and put my own toppings on them at home. The fab stuff I could make for Christmas as low carb finger food if I knew how to get the bases perfect.

HR and Sleep
What are your opinions on how well the HR records your sleep and the quality? I have mine set on sensitive, as I am going through a period of bad sleeping. I have noticed some nights where I have woken up and looked at my watch that it has not recorded it, and other times when I am awake, it records it as simply bad sleep.…

Fitbit anyone?
I was just wondering if any of you wonderful people has a Fitbit and would be interested in doing a weekly "workweek" challenge LCD board members to get us all motivated to keep on stepping up to get to those steps in? Alternatively, we could do a step thread to keep us all walking and getting fitter?

Jo jo dieting

How do I report a post
On my MFP feed from my iPhone? I let a lot slide but yet again a certain "friend" has felt the need to impose his sausage and potatoes (you know what I mean?) on my eyes whilst I try to eat. I am very open minded but come on, this is not a Porn site! Of course I will delete him, but first I need to find that button!

Just a quick update
First of all, thank you all for your excellent advice over the past few weeks. I really appreciate it. You have all been amazing. After a night at a&e last night I am booked in for a number of tests. LCFH my GP agrees with. My doctor thinks my meds is to blame. Not my diet. She thinks I might be experiencing some bad side…
