Technical question - can anyone help?
A friend of mine has repeatedly tried to join MFP (and find his way on here), but he keeps getting a screen message that reads: "APPLICATION ERROR www.myfitnesspal.com There was a problem with your request Sorry but a server error occurred while processing your request. Our team has been notified of the issue." Now, here's…

Culinary tips I didn't know...
...about, until recently. Item one: I watched a UK cookery programme recently, and the host travels to different countries for a 'long weekend' (I'm sure filming alone takes a fortnight!) then brings back wonderful recipes from those countries to try at home. Recently, he visited Reykjavik, in Iceland. They like to use…

OFFAL
I love it. I've always eaten it. It's nutritious, delicious and if well prepared, can actually convince even the most ardent anti-offal gourmet to admit that 'meh... actually, it's not that bad....! Offal I have gladly eaten: Tongue* heart* (Lamb's, chicken's) kidneys* liver* tripe* sweetbreads intestines (Chitterlings,…

First I've heard of this!
My H and I were watching a quiz programme, and one of the contestants was asked what she would do if she won the prize money. She replied she wanted to open a little restaurant with her daughter, producing a menu and dishes based on a 'Banting Diet', which is - wait for it - Low carb high fat. I'd never heard of it, but…

*Techno-warning!!*
Tried to open my LCHF bookmarked page, and instead got a message on my screen telling me that "Ooops, we can't show you that page, you've almost reached storage capacity!"And then came the killer give-away.... "To know more about (highlighted link) Storage capacity let us know what you think!" Or words to that effect.…

The Beitch is back....!
Hi everyone! Back from a 10-day sojourn in sunny Naples, Italy! Well, as I haven't been back in that region for at least 40 years, it was a bit of an eye-opener! First of all, the heat. While there*, we never went below 31 degrees C, although we missed the overwhelming heatwave (up to 42 degrees C) which hit Naples for a…

Anyone suffer from insomnia/disrupted sleep patterns?
Then take salt. Specifically, Himalayan rock salt. Before going to bed, drink a glass of water, then place a grain of salt (about the size of a grain of risotto rice) on the middle of the tongue. Close the mouth (connecting the salt with the palate) and you'll fall asleep before the salt has dissolved, or very shortly…

Water retention: For some of us, it's a pain in the....
I woke up this morning, and found myself 4.5lbs heavier. Now, while this was a momentary shock to me, I decided to not let the numbers on the scales faze me, because I immediately knew such an increase could only really be down to water retention. Then, looking at what I ate yesterday, it pretty much confirmed my…

Couple of snack ideas....
I love a 300g tub of cottage cheese, a tbsp olive oil, chopped green olives, Himalayan salt and chopped almonds (Leave it overnight, the almonds will recover some moisture and return to a 'just off the tree' freshness crunch!) Lovely with finely-sliced ham, and a couple of lactofermented dill pickles! I also like to take a…

Aaargh!! Thread search!
I had a nice discussion with some members yesterday evening (June 3rd 2017) on calculating calories, and how 1g of food (protein, carbs) equals 4 kcals, 1g of fat = 9kcals.... and for the absolute life of me, I cannot find it!! WTF!!! I have hunted every thread from first page one, to last on page 3... ridiculous!! If…

Bar sausages and Utopenci
I'm Italian, but these sausages are a firm favourite among Eastern Europeans (Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, Romanian....) and I saw the recipe once, tried them and am now addicted! I also make these Pickled bar-style sausages! On the left are the pickled bar-style USA recipe sausages. On the right, the Czech…

Ok, best hints to kick-start continued weight-loss from a stall...?
Like many ladies - and perhaps, gents too, I've reached, and been stuck at, a plateau for a good couple of weeks now. Always around the 123 -125lbs, and nothing I'm doing seems to be making any progress. I do fasts, then eat normally; even then I don't quite reach all my Protein/fat goals, although I'm pretty successful at…

Right: Experts, help me out here...
What SHOULD this look like...? (I cannot for the life of me understand the right-hand selection box - the one with fats, potassium, etc....) I think I need to start keeping tabs on intake, don't you...?! :D

Technical question
I had three photos downloaded. Even though I chose a particular one as my 'main' photo (as a profile pic) the previous picture I had, still showed. The only way I found to change my profile picture, was to delete the others. Was I correct? Why won't the programme permit me to use a photo I want, without having to delete…

Carbs versus Fats. This site needs to update its recommendations.
Current global research confirms that advice given by Government Health Bodies everywhere, is in serious need of review. It now seems that Carbohydrates are the culprits, while Fats are the friends. Sarah Hallsberg (a Doctor treating obesity and Diabetes, in the USA) has much to say, and furthermore, Dr Andreas Eenfeldt…

Home-made probiotics and foodstuffs...
Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in 'Diet & Nutrition'.. Does anyone else make their own probiotics? I lactoferment my vegetables (sauerkraut, Kimchi, pickles) I brew my own Kombucha (SCOBY available to UK peeps!) and have just made some home-made yoghurt. I make my own coarse peanut butter, and I also have ACV…
