Ground Beef Diet ... mmm, maybe not.
I hadn't really considered the 30 day (or two week, or whatever) ground beef diet but I had 2 lbs thawed out .. so why not do a day or 2 and see how it goes? Started Saturday adding only my morning drinks, tea, bouillon etc and decided to continue on Sunday since all was going well. Hopped out of bed Sunday and couldn't…

Keto and Thyroid issues
Has anyone experienced a change in thyroid levels with this woe? Had my lab work done on Monday and after not quite 4 months of being in NK all of a sudden the doc thinks we need to adjust (down) my thyroid meds that I've been on for years. I was reluctant to do that right now since she had just told me I didn't need the…

Odd reaction to MCT oil
My MCT oil arrived yesterday and I immediately added 1 tsp to some BPB. My body's reaction (mentally and physically) to that was ... nothing. OK, maybe not enough. This morning 1/2 Tbsp into the BPB ... nothing. 3 hours later I decided to take 1/2 Tbsp without mixing it with anything. My body's response is .. I just want…

MCT & ADHD
A friend of mine has a preteen granddaughter diagnosed with ADHD. I remember reading about someone using MCT to help with this in some thread here but can't find the thread. Does anyone remember which thread it was?

Morning leg and foot cramps
Every morning for the past week, with my first morning stretch, I get a leg &/or foot cramp. The cramps aren't the kind I've had that make me jump out of bed and try to bounce around to get rid of them but not at all comfortable anyway. I've been keeping my sodium at 4-5,000 with bouillon (normally closer to 5,000) and…

Protein powder
Anyone here have any suggestions for the 'best' protein powder? I'd like to concoct various flavored bullet proof smoothies (I do love my smoothies) but want to start with the best tasting, lowest carb, least gritty powder available. Help please.

T2D and Cholene
FWIW ... On another forum I frequent a gentleman shared that a friend of his, who is a Dr., suggested that he start taking Choline. He found that (for him) taking Choline along with each dose of Metformin dramatically lowered his blood sugar and it started working after the first day of use. He's almost completely stopped…

99+% animal product diet ?
Someone mentioned eating animal products only, 'again' ... which got me to looking at my diary. For the past several days the only non animal products I've had is 1/2 an avocado, 1 oz. mushrooms and a couple of dill pickles. Since I've never had much interest in vegetables (potatoes are NOT vegetables they are a food group…

Which method do you use to track your ketos?
Blood, breath or urine? Why did you choose that method? I've only been on this WOE for a week and don't know if I'm even in ketos (or however it's worded) :) The whole thing IS working ... I have lost 11 lbs but I'd like to track the ketos adaptation, too. Also, how long did it take for you to get there, please.

I have been blessed
Went to the doctor today to have cholesterol read and discuss my new woe. I went fully armed, as suggested, with a list of books and much data stored in my mini brain to justify it. When I told her I was doing a LCHF she just nodded her head and said she had lost a lot of weight with the paleo diet and liked that woe. She…

Vitamin C with Zinc
When I was replenishing my supplement supply, Walgreen's was out of the vitamin C I normally buy. So I figured the C w/ Zinc would be fine. Took the first dose and within minutes it came back up ... THEN I read the instructions which suggested taken with meals. :o I have since taken it with snacks and with full meals but…
