LPR and low carb
Has anyone been diagnosed with LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux - not GERD) and managed to stay low carb with the LPR dietary restrictions?

Egg fast?
I have decided to try an egg fast this week to try & break my stall of the past month and bad choices this weekend. Does anybody know if more than 1 BPC/day will wreck the plan? I still struggle with butter, but can tolerate it in my coffee. Also, will black coffee with each meal screw things up?

Canning question
I know canning has been discussed, but can't find it. Usually I only make pickled beets & carrots, & relish. This year have tried raspberry jam (cut sugar in 1/2) & wild plum jam (cut sugar by 1/3). Suzy Homemaker I'm not, lol! Can you use Splenda when making syrups? Would you do sugar-Splenda ratio? All splenda? Does it…

Noticed several new lumps on weekend but Dr assured me that "lumpy" breasts were part of the weight loss. Am scheduled for follow up diagnostic…

What's up with Nuts!
I thought I had read that nuts were good snacks for LCHF. So while working in yard today grabbed a cheese string & 1/3c raw natural almonds for energy. Should have read package first. 1/3 c almonds was 12 (not a lot) and they had 19g carb! That's > 1carb/nut. That's a lot isn't it? Subtract 4 for fibre & still 15 net…

I don't like Butter!
I really, really, really hate butter. I don't like the taste & I can't stand the feel of it in my mouth. What are some other ways to add fat? Have just started low carb. Set my goals at: 20% C, 35% P, & 65% F and am struggling to get up to fat levels & down to protein. How do I stay in 1200 calories with all the fat? Any…

Am I doing something wrong?
I put all my data into the system and said my goals were to lose 2 lbs. per week. The program then told me to keep to 1200 calories per day and in 5 weeks I will have lost 2.7 lbs. That doesn't really seem quite right. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, sk8kate
