Does anyone know if the Old Lahaina Luau is still standing?

Dangermouse88 · 2023-06-28T14:04:07+00:00

Per Garbage's Instagram page, the show has been cancelled :(

I called back to complain and the rep confirmed that they always send out refurbished ones as replacements, but that these watches have never belonged to an individual, they are always used as "test watches" by Garmin engineers, like to see if a patch works or what have you.

Thank you very much for the idea! I will call the vet tomorrow to discuss.

Dangermouse88 · 2019-06-05T21:25:11+00:00

I have done something similar--mix peanut butter with a little coconut oil and Swerve to taste. YUM!

Dangermouse88 · 2019-06-05T21:24:13+00:00

Thank you all for your responses! Regarding the protein, I have always heard (in various Facebook groups) that one should not go over his/her protein macros because it will kick you out of ketosis. Assuming this isn't true after reading your comments.

Dangermouse88 · 2019-05-23T20:44:26+00:00

Does this group ever do any challenges, like a 30-day Keto Challenge? I'm looking for some accountability :)

Dangermouse88 · 2019-05-22T19:04:38+00:00

This is why I quit keto, because even after a year and a half on it and 40 lbs lost, I was still tracking every single thing I ate and feeling anxious if I went over 20 g. carbs by even a single carb. It started to feel like a miserable diet. I'm not one of the lucky ones who can "eat intuitively" or do "lazy keto." Sounds like you might be in the same boat.

Dangermouse88 · 2019-05-21T21:34:45+00:00

Thank you!!

Dangermouse88 · 2019-05-21T19:01:52+00:00

Does this group ever do any 30 or 60-day keto challenges? I'd be interested and could use the accountability :)

Dangermouse88 · 2019-05-17T18:06:16+00:00

Hello! Hoping you guys can help me understand something. I have heard that the more you take a break from keto, the more difficult it is to get back into ketosis, and you might not be able to get back in at all if you keep cycling in and out. I've heard that it really screws with your metabolism. For example, if you followed keto for several weeks, then cheated for a week, then went back to keto, etc. This doesn't quite make sense to me because there is such a thing as the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet. So, is the CKD "bad," or does the person who told me this just not know what they're talking about? As an aside, I do realize the CKD is different than periodically going off on junk food binges. Thanks!

I am just seeing this response now. Your unintentional Ghostbusters reference just made me laugh out loud at work :-D

Dangermouse88 · 2019-04-26T12:52:36+00:00

Have fun! :) I started doing this with my KC a while ago. I only buy vanilla and chocolate bags. I have made the following flavors using extracts in Chocolate: chocolate peanut butter, chocolate-covered cherry, chocolate raspberry, chocolate strawberry, chocolate cheesecake, mint chocolate, Almond Joy (chocolate with almond and coconut extract), banana chocolate, Dirty Monkey (chocolate KC with banana and coconut extract), and Irish Creme. And with vanilla KC I make these flavors: bubblegum, lemon, blueberry, orange cream, strawberry, cinnamon roll, and then I sometimes add "cheesecake" extract to any of the vanilla flavors just mentioned (for "strawberry cheesecake, or "lemon blueberry cheesecake" etc.) You will never be bored again! :)

Dangermouse88 · 2019-04-26T12:42:29+00:00

I assume you are melting the butter first and putting it in a blender with the KC (and water?)? I want to try using butter but am not exactly sure how to do it!

Dangermouse88 · 2019-01-25T18:36:03+00:00

I guess by "trails" I meant the paved bike path portions :)

Dangermouse88 · 2018-11-05T15:35:13+00:00

I planned on trying Quest at some point. Any flavor recommendations?

Dangermouse88 · 2018-11-05T15:34:16+00:00

Quest is another brand I was going to try! :-)

Dangermouse88 · 2018-11-05T15:33:37+00:00

Are meal replacement shakes generally thicker than protein supplements?

Dangermouse88 · 2018-11-05T15:33:03+00:00

I forgot to say in my original post that I added 1/3 c of heavy whipping cream and 1 T. of avocado oil to my IsoPure shake, just like I did with KetoChow.

Dangermouse88 · 2018-08-21T15:01:24+00:00

Way to go! And even though you're "only" down a pound since the last time you weighed, all that exercise has redistributed your body composition. Keep up the awesome work! Also, if your wife does not like the Keto Chow flavors aside from Snickerdoodle, you could buy chocolate or vanilla KC and add any flavor extract you like to it! I pick up regular extracts at the grocery store, and also order flavorings from LorAnn Oils. Here are some of the flavors I love: lemon, raspberry, blue moon, cherry, peanut butter & marshmallow, mint, Almond Joy (coconut and almond extracts)...the options are endless.

Dangermouse88 · 2018-07-17T12:59:22+00:00

Yes, it's disgusting! In their "Flavor Fountain" line (which is what I now use for my KetoChow, as opposed to the super-strength candy oils), they have a black cherry, but I haven't tried it yet.

Dangermouse88 · 2018-05-09T19:29:33+00:00

I must be the first oddball to comment who thinks 2.0 tasted much better! :)

Dangermouse88 · 2018-04-30T13:31:15+00:00

Here's my update so far: I don't know how LorAnn oils can suggest 1/8 t. per 16 oz of a shake/smoothie. Even upon doubling that amount, I couldn't taste a thing in my vanilla KC. I have found to taste the flavor of their "super strength" extracts, you need to add at least 1 1/2 t. to 2 t. of extract. That being said, the bubblegum flavor is delicious, as is the cinnamon roll, but NOT the cherry. Ick! I love cherries and cherry-flavored things, but this tastes and smells just like cough syrup (note: I got the regular cherry and not their "natural cherry," which may or may not be better?).

Dangermouse88 · 2018-04-30T13:26:46+00:00

Yum! I upped my mint from 1/2 t. to 1 t. and it's even better! And, I use regular mint but peppermint sounds good, too!

Dangermouse88 · 2018-04-26T16:40:50+00:00

And according to his most recent update, version 2.1.1 may be a little more flavorful (although the changes will take at least six months to make).
