Keto Powder To Stay In Ketosis
I apologize if this has been a topic, but I did a search and didnt see it... So I met a gal the other day that said she used some pre-packaged powder that kept her in ketosis without doing a keto diet. Is that even possible? I tried Googling it and came up with answers that didn't answer my question.... TIA....

Protein Shakes
Do you all do them as part of your diet? What's your favorite one if you have one, and why? I use 4 different types... and mix them up so I don't get bored and am open to your suggestions! :)

Want Keto meal plans
So, I'm wanting to try Keto as I seem to be super sensitive to carbs and just don't burn them off like I did in my lovely 20's. Everywhere I look online it seems people charge for Keto recipes for a week. Seriously? Is there anywhere else I can find meal plans that will keep me on Keto properly - but for free?

Tumeric, anyone?
So.... since I discovered I was gluten intolerant.... I was cooking with Tumeric quite often as I'd been told it was good to curb inflammation in your stomach. Now the amount you have to choke down is about a teaspoon/tablespoon.... THEN... I found Tumeric PILLS omg!!! They have helped me so much! Have any of you tried…

Cheating...
So a while back ago a friend of mine kept wanting me to "cover" for her while she was cheating on her husband..... After months of this behavior I actually asked her to stop telling her husband she was hanging out with me because quite frankly I didn't want my name being used and I didn't want to be a part of all of that.…

Treats To Eat That Are Gluten Free
Ok... now I know we all must "shop the perimeter"... however, I was wondering if we could all pitch in with a list of "gluten free" foods that ARE actually packaged. I'm all for the whole foods, but you know what? We all need a treat sometimes...... so here's what I've found thus far: Simple Truth Vegetable Sticks (Ralphs)…

Just Made GF Citrus Balsalmic Dressing - YUM!
So I was having issues with GF salad dressings, and decided to make my own - omg... YUM! I don't know why I just didn't do this before! I thought I'd share the recipe - I found one similar online but it used oranges. Pineapple is good for us gluten free folks as it is a natural anti-inflammatory.... so here is the recipe:…

Weight LOSS after cutting out gluten?
I normally weigh myself in the mornings... but for some reason I stepped on the scale and was so happy to see what it said... I always see people on here post that they gain weight after going GF.... But I've lost 13lbs total (I seem to be stuck there) and I've lost almost 5lbs of fat weight!!! Anyone else experience the…

Two Things That Seem To Be Helping Me
Ok, so I recently went to my physician because of course I got that flu and wanted to make sure it hadn't progressed into pneumonia or bronchitis which is typical for me. (So far so good - I have neither!) In my talk with my doctor, I mentioned that I'd had some issues with gluten since I saw her last and had cut it out of…

Another Thought About Milk
I know there's another "milk" thread going on but my question is different.... A friend sent this to me earlier, wanted to see what you all thought: "Milk is for baby cows. Period. We're the only species to drink the milk from another species, and we're also the only species who continues to drink milk after infancy. "…

Campbell's Broth Has Wheat GLUTEN
Yeah. So yesterday I was on day 3 of being sick with the flu.... and marginally delirious with a continued 101.5 temperature. I went to the store as I had ran out of home made broth, and Campbell's broth was on sale 10/$10 so I bought... well you guessed it, 10. I figure I'd go through them I'm that sick! I didn't think to…

Foods Labeled Gluten Free That Don't Seem To Be
K... so two days ago I did a happy dance at the grocery store when I saw that Tostito's had blue corn tortilla chips, blatantly labeled "Gluten Free".... Well guess what folks, I was sick yesterday after eating them, had more last night and I'm REALLY sick today. Nothing else in my diary changed - that is the obvious…

Pretty Upset
So, the past two weeks I've had people harping on me NON-STOP about my closed diary to the point I felt the need to update my "About Me" section in order to explain why my diary is closed. I have been tracking my negative reactions to food (and we all know what those can be) in the "notes" section.... and what in the he!!?…

How Long Did It Take For Your Stomach To Heal?
Seriously... my other symptoms have disappeared... so I know I'm on the right track.... But my stomach is still quite angry and I'm sick at least once a day. I had TOFU yesterday, and my stomach is very displeased today, so now I think I am allergic to soy now, too.... Anyway, while I definitely (with the exception of…

Growing My Own Food (pictures)
Since a couple of people asked me if I really did this, I thought I'd post a picture.... I saw a video, compliments of another poster about a woman who grew her own organic garden and how awesome she looked for being 70 years old. I thought about it and realized I didn't want to plant anything permanent in my actual yard…

Is Anyone Else Allergic To Red Wine As Well?
I was just watching "The Doctor's" and they mentioned something about YEAST being part of the process of making red wine..... Interestingly, I've always hated the way beer made me feel (glutened me and I didn't realize it at the time), but red wine - I can't have any of that... upsets my stomach and even makes me…

ADD, and the next better thing to come along...
For this, I blame the Internet. Dating never used to be this stupid. Guys are so conditioned anymore that they will find yet another girl to date on FB, POF, Match or wherever. The behavior guys exhibit - especially those in my age frame or older - come on guys, you were TAUGHT better than this. Am I the only gal to feel…

Forks Over Knives - anyone seen it?
Just wanted to hear what everyone's thoughts were on this..... Obviously this would be a "gluten free" way to go, but I don't think I could ever stop eating all dairy/meat/yogurt... Personally just cutting out the packaged food I was eating has made a huge difference. Thoughts?

Gluten Friends: Maltodextrin!!!!
Ok folks... for those of you not on my page.... I had a HUGE setback recently with gluten. I had NO idea - for 7 days straight - why I was sick. Turned out I was using "blue cheese dressing" (brand I'll leave out) as a "treat" dip for carrots and whatever for about 7 days straight. I was sick as all get out, I have a fear…

Would it be wrong to....

It has all the qualities I am looking for in a partner.... - exposure to excessive heat and light doesn't burn a sweet potato like it does me.... - it's soft in the middle... meaning, soft "hearted"..... - tastes delicious!

Revised "Comfort Foods"
K.... so the other day I had a sample of sweet potato fries at Costco and realized... wow, I like sweet potatoes AFTER ALL! The way my mom made them? HATED 'em! But as tasty treats with no trans fat and lots of Vitamin A? So I bought some today! Ok, yeah, starchy carbs but hey, I had more than my fair share today and still…
