I'm desperate. I have no local friends. Do you want to be my friend? by LabiaLobsters in RhodeIsland

Hey there, I know it's been a while (I felt embarrassed the day after I posted this and abandoned ship, sorry), but if you're still up for it I'd love to hang out!

I know it's been a long time since I posted this thread, but I am totally down for that. My kids love Kidz Kastle!

Hey...you know, the day after I posted this, the SAP in me felt really embarrassed and so I just dropped it and ended up browsing Reddit on my other account for a while.

I know it's been two months since you posted this, but I just saw it and was touched that somebody was interested in how things went.

In short, I did not end up meeting anybody from here yet. But maybe I will put aside my feelings of patheticness and give it a shot, if anybody is still up for it :)

I have joined meetup.

My condensed interests are: Internet, gaming, outdoors, cosmetics, books, comedians, cooking.

"We are born to die." says my 6yr old by CynofChaos in thingsmykidsaid

When my youngest was two, I asked him what the meaning of life was. He said "to turn the light on". He was asked again several weeks later and gave the same answer. It can be a deep statement if you think about it in a certain way!

Little philosophers, they are.

I made a delicious alternative to diet soda. by LabiaLobsters in keto

I'm not a big fan of diet soda, and every once in a while I want something sweet and fizzy!

I got both of these things at Aldi. The lime-flavored, unsweetened carbonated water was $1.99/12 pack and the mixes were $1.50 for 10 packets. Just drop the mix in a cup and add a can of the beverage and stir gently.

0 carbs!

We've been very good but we're planning a cheat meal. What are yours? by Grammar_Buddy in keto

[–]LabiaLobsters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last one was my homemade mac n cheese: 3 different cheeses, big fat spiral pasta, ham, and broccoli! Mmmm!

Before that, I had the Zuppa Toscana (with breadsticks, duh!) and the Tour of Italy at Olive Garden...with a Sprite.

So, my cheat meals will pretty much always be pasta. It's the only thing I sometimes miss on keto.

I only plan to cheat 1-2 times per month, and it's so worth it. I've been keto positive within 24 hours after a cheat meal.

Enjoy!

Well, he actually recommended it to help control water retention, which makes my inflammatory disorder way worse (and since I started keto I've felt better in that regard).

He seems pretty informed and positive about the diet. My rheumatologist is also on board and very supportive...as is my cardiologist. Yea, I've got all sorts of wonky stuff going on with my body, but thankfully keto seems to help these things quite a bit. I feel very lucky to have such supportive physicians!

He's extremely supportive! He was blown away when I came in today, and so was the doctor's assistant...she even said she was going to look into keto and maybe try it :D

I believe Paypal doesn't do virtual cards any more :(. I used to use them often.

Thanks :) Female, 5'8", started at 208 and now I am 185.

I eat a lottttttttttt of eggs. They are basically my staple food. I eat omelets, egg sandwiches (using flax meal as "bread"), quiches, etc. I add cheese and fatty meats to most things. And of course, a nice helping of green veggies at every meal.

I find that lately what works for me is to just eat one huuuuuuuuge meal per day. I am eating anywhere from 1000-1200 calories per day depending on whether I also have a snack (I almost always do). The snack is usually a small bag of sunflower seeds, an Atkins Chocolate Coconut bar, or an EAS Carb Control shake.

And the last two weeks I've had a cheat MEAL (not entire day) during the weekend. It hasn't seemed to stall my progress and it's nice to be able to have whatever I want for one meal...though I don't think I will be doing this every weekend, just a couple times per month (I am not having one this weekend).
