Anyone with Hypothyroidism doing LCHF or Keto
Not sure if there is a thread regarding hypothyroidism. My roommate has it and is currently doing Whole30. She has seen some of my Keto meals, particularly BPC, and is very convinced it would not work for her. She currently eats low-moderate carb, low fat, high protein. Would LCHF or Keto work for someone with…

Epsom Salt Absorption, Magnesium Intake, and Muscle Fatigue
Someone please point me in the right direction if this has already been asked... I have been looking into Epsom Salt bath soaks. I've heard they are great for relieving constipation and for soothing sore muscles. If I start soaking in Epsom Salt baths, would I not supplement orally with magnesium that day? Also, I started…

Honey and Maple Syrup Replacement in Dessings
I was doing a Pinterest search for keto/LCHF salad dressings. Almost every one of them had honey and/or maple syrup as the sweetener. Is there a better no-low carb sweetener that will also thicken dressings? My primary sweeteners are Stevia and Erythritol (which I used recently in place of molasses and coconut sugar for a…

Quitting Tobacco and Food Cravings - Advice Needed plus LONG Rant!
So my boyfriend quit chewing tobacco just over a year ago, right before we met. I'm very proud that 2016 he was completely tobacco free but he has gained so much weight because he says snacking helps his tobacco cravings. I have absolutely no idea how that must feel because I have never struggled with any sort of…

Ditching the Dairy - What Were Your Experiences? Any Advice?
After I this weekend I want to try eating dairy-free for a while with the exception of grass-fed butter and ghee. Currently I eat A LOT of cheese, cream cheese, HWC, sour cream and some full fat Greek yogurt. Literally every meal I have is loaded with dairy, even when I cook a "loaded" cauliflower casserole there is a ton…

Carbs in Sun Dried Tomatoes
I love the flavor that sun-dried tomatoes (with oil) brings to any sort of creamy dish. Unfortunately sun-dried tomatoes are so high in carbs! I usually try to eat around the tomatoes or perhaps I'll even eat them if I have tracked properly and I can afford the extra carbs. I'm wondering though, when I eat around the…

"Coffee Blocks" - Anyone Try Em?
I was wondering if anyone has tried Coffee Blocks? It's basically pre-packaged BPC. It costs $3 per serving. The ingredients are clarified grass-fed butter, EVCO, mycotoxin-free coffee, organic egg yolks, and organic vanilla extract. I know many people prep their BPC ahead of time and store little pods in the freezer for…

FatHead Dough: How Well/Long Does it Keep When Left Over?
I am interested in making fathead pizza and fathead crackers. If I make a large batch, how well would the leftovers hold and how long would they last? I'm talking about a cooked batch of pizza WITH the toppings, not the uncooked dough base. Same for fathead crackers, should I store extras in the fridge or the cabinet? I'm…

What sort of treats do you give out for Halloween?
I'm not a super festive person. I'll be at home for Halloween but I'm not sure if I'm going to be giving out treats. I'll probably turn off all the lights, pretend no ones home, meanwhile I'm upstairs watching movies or playing games. Anyways, what sort of treats do you all give out for Halloween? I feel after learning so…

Fasted Exercise - Energy Boost Needed and Stomach Pain?
Now that I'm interspersing days of IF during my week by skipping breakfast on some days, it's much easier for my to get fasted exercise in. However, the few times I tried it... 1.) I really had no energy to push myself through a circuit that would normally be my warmup! 2.) Certain activities like running, jumping jacks,…

Share Your Recipes Recorded in Your Diary
My diary is open but it may be a little confusing to understand what I'm making. Some of my meals have 15+ ingredients listed but one might have no idea what sort of dish I am making! I was asked by a new MFP LCHF friend if I could share my recipes that are recorded in my diary. I figured I'd post them here as well and…

Non-Scale Victories
Do we have a thread for this? I have not seen it. My coworker today was selling (milk) chocolate bars for his daughter's orchestra. I told him I couldn't eat that because I have eliminated added sugar and can only do low carb dark chocolate. I still gave him a few dollars as a donation. He asked if I was sure I didn't want…

Greek Yogurt Bowl Recipes
Hello everyone, I'm getting back into a keto lifestyle after having several weeks of poor eating. I love Greek yogurt but unfortunately my favorite brand, Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla, is nonfat. Dannon does not seem to have a full fat version. I researched some brands and everyone seemed to really like Fage Total with full…

Question about Carb Refeed
Hello, I have a few questions for future reference regarding carb refeeds. I am doing keto and after having a little "break", I am finally back into ketosis this week. I have been seeing a steady decline in scale weight but since I am close to goal weight I imagine this will start to stall in the coming weeks. I was…

HRM for These Activities?
Hello, I know so many posts have been added about HRM and such but I've been seeing a lot of mixed responses. I understand they work for "steady state cardio" and would not display accurate results for, say, weight lifting. I wanted to ask how HRMs fare when it comes to a cardio-kickboxing class and also a conditioning…

Polar FT4 & Sand
For anyone that has the Polar FT4 or similar Polar product such as the FT7, is the device safe to wear in the sand? I would like to wear it while I play in a sand volleyball tournament tomorrow but I'm not sure if that would damage the device.

Question About HIIT and HRMs
I have a Polar FT4 HRM with chest strap. I know HRMs in general are not reliable for HIIT or weight training...only steady state cardio. I was curios though about how to judge the amount of calories I burn. I typically HIIT a stationary bike for 20-30 minutes at a difficult level of resistance throughout the entire workout…

Diary Review: 6/17-23/14
Hello all. I'm requesting a diary review from you good folks. I have only recently started tracking my food with MFP, previously I was using Livestrong and consuming 1,200-1,300 calories/day. MFP recommends I eat 1,300 calories/day and eat back at least half of my exercise calories. I decided to aim for 1,500 calories and…

Getting Confused & Frustrated - TDEE & Caloric Requirement
Hello all, I'm a little bit confused. I started my (mostly) clean eating lifestyle on May 1st. For the first month I lost 10 lbs. The first week I was following the Quick Weight Loss Center's meal plan and when I tracked my food I realized I was eating way too low; 800-1,050 calories at most AND I was working out burning…
