"Common Sense Keto"...cult
Seriously though...Is anyone else in the Common Sense Keto group on Facebook? I swear its a cult. When you join, one of the statements you have to agree with is having an opinion is okay so long as you don't state it as fact. But actually, you're not allowed an opinion. One of their admins will jump down your throat and…

PSA: "Common Sense Keto"... cult
Seriously though.. I don't want this to turn into a big debate about what's good and bad on a low carb or keto diet... But is anyone else in the Common Sense Keto group on Facebook? I swear its a cult. When you join, one of the statements you have to agree with is having an opinion is okay so long as you don't state it as…

Its hard being a traditional romantic in a hook up culture.
Well I made a longer post about it but it didn't save. I'll just keep this short..ish, and to the point. Been living with my bf for almost a year. We are nearly perfect, great communication, no arguments, if we have disagreements we just sit down and discuss it without getting emotions too involved. I'm 100% comfortable…

Anyone over 300 lbs and done a 10k ?
Just curious. I've done three 5k's since I started losing weight (first one I was over 400 lbs). I have two more 5k's coming up. After that I was thinking about trying a 10k. I am 330 lbs. My questions for larger runners is this: Do you have any tips for not over doing it? Did you train for it any differently than you…

Keto and vegetables
Someone told me that you don't need to eat a single vegetable to be healthy, just eat protein and fat. They said they don't eat veggies AT ALL since they started a LCHF diet and that vegetables are unnecessary for humans to eat. Kinda confused here....yeah I get potatoes and such are starchy, but where do you get your…

"Cheese is not meant for human consumption"
Someone just said this to me. I love hard cheese. But I also love a lot of things this person doesn't, as they avoid entire food groups including dairy. I also love research/studies. So... discuss. Why is cheese meant or not meant for human consumption? What studies are available that I can review on this topic? Thanks. :)

Veggie burger recipes?
So I've been having crazy cravings lately, specifically for veggie burgers. I just had two morningstar grillers layered with avocado, greek yogurt, and ranch seasoning. Freakin' amazing. I was wondering if anyone had a veggie burger recipe they'd like to share? I'd like to try making my own instead of buying these frozen…

Embarrassed that I don't know this, but should I be eating while sick?
I haven't had a fever in close to ten years and back then mama took care of me lol. Since Monday my fever has been wavering between 101 and 103.5, chills, body aches etc typical flu. Been drinking a lot of water but a friend said I need to "starve the fever"?? That was easy yesterday but today woke up with new symptoms....…

Pasta-free "lasagna" (cabbage substitute)
inb4> This is not meant to BE lasagna. Lasagna is lasagna. This is suitable for someone with dietary restrictions, kitchen creativity, or if you just really like cabbage like I do ;) Came across this while I was looking for ideas on what to do with a bunch of free cabbage I was given. On top of eating "real" lasagna, I've…

Face tingling/flushing?
So I'm not a low carber, or at least not as low as a lot of the people I see on here who do keto and atkins. I stalled in my weight loss and decided to shift my macros a bit. I was regularly eating close to and occasionally well over 300 carbs a day. Now I shoot for between 100 and 150. I lost some water weight which was…

Frozen candy from the ice maker!
Seriously, I just might have to do this now. It'd be a step up from always getting arctic mice (my sister puts her bagged dead mice for her snake in the freezer) with my ice cubes.... Lol https://youtube.com/watch?v=0BZhqbq3nWU

Multiple questions, sorry :X (Smith machines, personal trainers, muscle definition)
Soo first question. Is there a website out there where I can just put in my stats or see what the "average" person does? I just wanna know if I'm still weakling status or somewhat strong ish LOL. I started using the machines at my gym a few months ago (smith machines). I was terrified to at first because of all the…

New South Park ep is about gluten free
...Just thought that was funny =X I'm aware of celiac disease, worked in the food industry for awhile and had to take courses on it so I know that's a real thing. BUT gluten free as a trend, as an excuse to "drill it into your server's head" that you don't like onions, and as a diet to lose weight... makes me giggle every…

Strong reaction to public humiliation = Over sensitive
So since I moved to the south I'm "targeted" less and less, which is awesome. People making snide remarks or just generally not minding their business is becoming few and far between. Today was not the case. I was trying to decide between two different chocolates. "TOM" is visiting and one of the few times I'll have GOOD…

I HATE YOU PERIOD WHY DID YOU COME BACK
So after like four years of either not getting my period or it just being sporadic.... I've had three of them, three months in a row. I've also noticed while I'm having mine a lot of the chicks on my friends list are having theirs. Are we syncing (only semi srs) ?! LOL is that even possible online? I can't make real life…

NSV 1 - Last time I had my blood pressure checked it was 192 over 105 with a resting heart rate of 96. I was about to be put on meds... then I lost my insurance. I basically said screw it because I couldn't…

Gettin' my drink on for the first time in awhiiiiiile
SO... since I started this whole weight loss thing I haven't really been drinking. I'd rather eat my calories than get inebriated with 'em. But tonight in celebration of 80 lbs lost and a buttload of self control I'm partaking in buttery nipples and adult chocolate milk with friends :drinker: I plan on pre-logging what I…

Moving back in with family is hard
Having been obese my entire life I've had my fair share of insults thrown at me by people. But those were all strangers, people I was never going to see again or not see for long. But family... man. I just can't escape. They're my biggest demotivators. Even being almost 80 lbs down now. I started out at such a high weight,…

Reading forums and hashtags for motivation
I'm pretty sure 3/4 of the time I'm on my phone I'm either on here doin' forum stuff or checking out hashtags on instagram like "IIFYM" "recipes" "traininsaiyan" etc haha. I have a plethora of nutritional advice bookmarked on my laptop. I have a bad binge eating problem, and I've found the best way to distract myself is to…

Looking for people on my old friends list
Well, the jist of it is I just got out of a bad relationship. Wasted almost 5 years of my 20's away. In the process I've had to delete my old account (third time deleting an account here 'cuz of him), had to delete all old emails, facebook, fix bank information... Pretty much revamp anything I did online because he was…
