I've got good students
One of my students brought me some steak for the last day of school. This is one I'm going to miss. :smiley:

Ad Libitum April Challenge
Who here is down for a month of not counting calories? Want to see if you can live like the crazies? Here's a chance to try it out for yourself. Or, if you're already doing it, here's a chance to officially track how it's working for you. I'll obviously be sticking to my usual goals: no plants (so trace carbs only) and no…

Low Carb Responses from the General Forums
There's a person asking who else is doing Atkins' on the main boards. We all know how this goes. Let's look at some of the advice given so far. First off, props to JPW1990 for jumping in and pointing them here. Where we actually know what we're talking about. This is the entire comment. I didn't snip it. I can't think of…

Gratuitous Food Post
I have nothing really to talk about. So, here's a picture of my dinner. I am down to only 29 eggs. I explained to my wife that this means we need to do a shopping trip this weekend, because 29 eggs won't last me until next weekend. I also need more burgers. I might have another week worth of beef. But, I could probably…

I'm so lazy
I love shopping only once every two weeks for food. That appeals to me more than most other things. I haven't been in the grocery store (aside from with my wife) in weeks. I have fallen into a pretty standard routine when it comes to my food. I generally eat eggs and bacon for breakfast, some ground beef for lunch, and a…

I am SO Stuffed right now.
I may have gone a tad bit over my calorie and macro goals today. No ragrets.

Any Other High Calorie Low Carbers
Sometimes I feel like I am the only "high" calorie low carb eater around these parts. Am I really the only person with a 2,000 calorie/day floor (that's as low as I go) and a 2,500+ calorie/day average? I know I am probably unique in this aspect because I am teetering on the edge of maintenance (losing 0.25-0.5 lbs a week,…

So many people in my house.
My wife's sister and her kids have escaped the great frozen north and are staying at my house. It's chaos here. They have loaded my fridge with a bunch of things I don't eat. I just hope they stay away from my eggs. I only have enough for a couple weeks.

I am such a traitor
Not because I don't live up to the ideals of this group, but because I don't count/track anything. Honestly, I don't count carbs. I just don't eat any. I don't count calories. I just eat until I'm full. My friend has challenged me to track everything, for him to look on and get an idea. I tell him how I eat, he wants to…

Jan. 2015 Active Low Carbers
One of the problems with being a member in such a old, large group is that it's hard to know who is active and who isn't. Some people read posts, but never respond or post themselves. Others are new and are hesitant to post. Introduction threads propose to solve this problem, but they quickly become dated and people who…

Blood Test Results
I promised that I would post my blood test results, no matter how they came out. And, I will. My total cholesterol and LDL-(calc) are up. The last full test I had, I had a total cholesterol of 168. This is lower than my typical reading of 200-210 (from when I give blood). But, the test I had Wednesday was the highest of…

Blood Test Results
I promised that I would post my blood test results, no matter how they came out. And, I will. I know some of you aren't in the keto group, so I figured I would post it here. Now, I am happy with my results. My doctor is not so happy. She's concerned about how high the total cholesterol and LDL are. The best part, she wants…

How Much Protein Should I Eat?
When calculating macros, protein is the most controversial macro of all. What follows is my recommendation and opinion. I expect that some people will argue that I am wrong to recommend an amount above the bare minimum. You should make your own decision. I have provided some links to support why I believe what I do. While…

I am still myself
I was playing around, and I found a way to change my username. I had no good reason to do it. Heck, there were many reasons not to do it (since I am fairly well known by the old one). But, I was bored and playing around. So, this is still frob23. I'm still a low-carb nut. Nothing has changed except that I am now a fit…

What I wanted in 2014. What I want in 2015.
I just got off the phone with my friend. He commented on a conversation we had had a year before. One which ended up being quoted on his FB page. Last Christmas Eve, I was talking to my friend. He asked me what I wanted for the upcoming year. I responded, "I really just want to be healthy and to eat lots of bacon." It was…

Today is the start of my second year of keto
In case you're not on my friend list, or missed it, today is my 366th day of low carb. I'm no longer actively trying to lose weight. I haven't been for a while. I dropped about 23 kg (50 lbs) over the 10 or so months I was actively working to lose weight. Here's a basic before and after picture. The before is not how much…

This is going to annoy me
I can't figure out how to make the groups show up on the page with the rest of the forums, like it used to be. This wouldn't be the end of the world if the group page showed the most recent discussion title, but it doesn't. That means there's no easy way to tell, at a glance, when there's new content.

Keto and Teaching is a Challenge
I am a teacher. I have a student who is a brother to a former student of mine. I actually had his brother for three years. Needless to say, his mom knows me pretty well. She is also an amazing baker. Today, that student brought me in a couple large, delicious looking cookies. I'm not a huge cookie eater. But, god help me…

New Work ID
Finally got my new ID card for work. I laid the new one on top of the old one and snapped a photo. When I look in the mirror, I don't think I look that different. But, you can see it in the comparison photos. Both of these were taken at the end of August, a year apart. I started eating keto/LCHF in October (about 7-8 weeks…

Interesting Video on Calories [LONG]
I am currently unable to sleep. I went from having a packed house, to being home alone. And, it is too quiet. I can't seem to relax. Anyway, I am watching this video. It is pretty interesting about the calories in and calories out model and why it isn't as effective as everyone would like it to be. I figured it would go…
