Holy new people, Batman!
Now that I've just approved 3 pages of new people requesting to join -- and given the time stamps on them, I've no doubt there are another three pages waiting for me after I post this -- welcome! Be sure to check out the Launch Pad in the "announcements" section. In it, you will find links to information if you want to…

When Metformin backfires
So, I've been on and off Metformin for five or six years, now. The longest stint was a little over a year. I've used both the regular and extended release, and it's nearly always been a high dose (because that's the only time it's been effective). This last time seems to have been the last straw, though. Although it worked…

Test results from the endo!
Finally, I found someone to run the right tests! Too bad I don't go back to her for three months, but the information itself is hugely valuable to me. I finally got in to see her, and after quite a bit of talking, I got the feeling she actually kind of doubts that I actually have PCOS and suspects that I may have been…

Start Here
You've just been diagnosed with PCOS, or you've had the diagnosis for a while and are now starting to do something about it, but don't know where to start. You've come to the right place. Start here to find answers to common questions and find information on getting started down the path of healing. This is currently a…

Question about cream
So, I get non-homogenized cream, but I have to buy it by the half gallon (it's the only size the supplier offers). This generally isn't an issue and I just freeze what I won't use immediately. However, when I thaw what I've frozen, it seems the fat separates out and sticks to itself and I'm left with what is basically a…

Just One June - Final Check-In
So, how'd you do? I'm sorry, I know I've been slacking for Check-In posts. My month has been pretty hectic. I didn't have much luck with my goal of finding out what helps my back not be in pain, but I did find some things that don't seem to bother it too much (rollerblading, of all things). I also stumbled upon something…

Just One June - June 1 (Initial Check-In)
A new month already, can you believe it? This month is a little something for everyone, made possible by being completely your choice of what you do! The rule is simple -- pick one thing, and one thing only, to change this month. Whether it's cutting something out or adding something in, it doesn't matter. For this…

Meativore May - May 31 Check-In
This is it, folks! The countdown to the last day of the challenge! We're officially at 4 weeks as of this writing (on Friday) and just have another couple of days to finish out the calendar month. How'd you do? What are your plans going forward? Are you hooked, or are you ready to dive head-first into a giant salad? May 22…

Hey guys....I did it again.... (aka More Greasemonkey fun)
I needed something to do while I was relaxing my back and digesting my dinner before attempting (again) to go to bed (angry back from gardening + 8:30pm meaty dinner + 11pm bedtime = miserable Dragon), so....I altered that keto userscript that calculates net carbs and gives you nifty charts. I never really cared about the…

I'm not sure I can keep doing this way of eating...
I mean, I'm just suffering through this... How can I possibly keep going when I'm forced to eat stuff like this? :wink:

Maybe We Should Have A Meat-Only May Challenge?
I'm seeing quite a bit more interest in the "no-plant" or "zero carb" diet in the past few weeks. Perhaps we should have a "challenge" thing for it in May? It'd probably be good to run it a little differently than most other challenges -- don't go in on it unless you were already at least somewhat seriously considering it.…

Call For Sticky Contributors
Hey ladies! I'd love to get some stickies on here to help newcomers. Unfortunately, I'm pretty busy and if it were left all up to me, it'd take forever to get a good bit of the stickies up. Besides, this isn't my group, it's our group. So, to those of you who are writers, editors, or researchers, I'd love to get some…

Monthly Challenges
Hey guys! So I just added the "just one June" challenge, since that seemed to have good reception, but I think it'd be nice to come up with various challenges that people would like to see, and I think it's worth a dedicated thread. We don't have to limit ourselves to one a month, especially if there are more "advanced"…

Zero carb/carnivore ideas for bacon
Okay, normally, I would just cook the bacon and eat it straight. However, the packs that I bought were cured with too much sugar. Hell, even my husband said they were too sweet for bacon. They weren't cheap, so I want to use up the other pack that I have in some way, and I'd rather not feed it to the dogs. I'm thinking…

Couple of small(ish, but not really) NSVs
Last week, I gave blood, and of course, they do the "mini-physical," which checks to make sure your iron is high enough and you're otherwise fit enough to give blood. I typically use it as an excuse to periodically check my iron levels, due to my history of anemia and the fact that the last time I tried to see if a home…

Probably the weirdest NSV/observation ever...
Okay, so I was responding to the liqui-gel thread when I noticed this one... I was mentioning how I've had zero allergies, despite the pollen count being insanely high lately (like, so high, hubby says they're considering adding a new level). In the way past, I'd often be miserable at this level and knocking back Zertec or…

Meativore May {{May 1 Check-In}}
Hey Meativores! The first day of May is upon us! For those participating, that means it's time for the first check-in. Let us know where you're at, what your goal is for the month, and anything else you want to share.

Guess what I made!
I turned that Stylish style setup I rigged up for the Ad Lib April challenge into a Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey script, since most of the people here already use it for the net carb and/or the macro settings scripts. Now, you can remove the calorie column from your dairy, and it won't interfere with your view of your…

Keto "Trail Mix"
I swear, there was a post a while back asking about keto trail mix. Maybe it was in the keto group. I don't know anymore. Anywho, I figured I'd share this. I've been reading about zero carb/all-meat diets and in a few of them, I saw mention of Pemmican, so I looked it up to see exactly what it was. At the time I was…
