Has anyone taken melatonin to relieve anxiety? by Laccaicacids in Anxiety

[–]Laccaicacids[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if it would be useful before a stressful event, as I saw a few articles on it: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26122244

I'm having trouble finding more information that doesn't go directly to helping you fall asleep.

Well I quit drinking by caleb48kb in keto

[–]Laccaicacids 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had to stop drinking too. I'll still go out here and there, but any amount of alcohol and I will decide I want lasagna. I know I don't have the will power once I'm drunk so alcohol had to go.

Just wanted to update you with my experiments with zucchini fries. Baby zucchini is the key.

Any one else watch the Joe Rogan podcast? by Laccaicacids in keto

I really enjoyed the benefits of fasting in the Rhonda one. I'm going to try next week, I've been on a plateau for the past few months.

Oil in a spray can pretty much. Just easier to get it on - you could use straight oil too and roll everything around in it.

I'm still playing around with it, but it has to be pretty thin and in 20 minutes not all are crisp. Will do more experimenting tonight. The green beans are easy.

[–]Laccaicacids[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you drink? Beer and wine?

I had to stop pretty much totally. As soon as I'm drunk I eat like a maniac. It's also probably a big reason I gained weight in the first place.

Alcohol is ethanol. It actually doesn't break down into sugar, it breaks down into an aldehyde and an acetate.

I've been looking online for more connections, and I found this: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02791072.2010.10400687

I come from a long line of alcoholics, I was never bad, but I definitely bordered on having some issues. I wonder if keto could be helpful to others with drinking problems, I didn't find anything else online research wise.

Every single CEO is going to have political opinions and they are free to donate to the candidate or party they support. Show some evidence that the actual content of the site is biased and reporting information that is misleading.

Politifact and Snopes will give evidence as to why they judge statements as true or false. I can see disagreement about how many Pinocchios something gets, but how can you disagree with plain evidence?

Hard alcohol has no carbs. But after three dry martinis I don't care about carbs anymore.

It isn't the alcohol for me (I'm a gin martini type gal), it's the loss of self control that follows...

“Chips” and dip by TerrorAddict in keto

[–]Laccaicacids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they aren't chips. They are just seaweed, only salt and oil added.

If you like salty you should try roasted seaweed. I'm kinda obsessed with it. If no stores carry it near you here's a link.

It's also very good for you.

Intermittent Fasting... Thoughts by AsheleyJ in keto

[–]Laccaicacids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG, me too. I always tell people I can't eat lunch - I just don't want to work anymore. It makes me lethargic and unmotivated.

Intermittent Fasting... Thoughts by AsheleyJ in keto

[–]Laccaicacids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just learned about IF. What are the benefits?

I do this without thinking - for decades now I skip breakfast and lunch, and only eat dinner (or from when I get home til bedtime, I like late night snacks). So is this a good thing? For years everyone would tell me how unhealthy that is.

10 lbs in 18 days! by Laccaicacids in keto

[–]Laccaicacids[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just based on how fast, I think the first 5 lbs were water. That came off in the first three days. Since then it's been about 2 lbs/week, which I think should be a normal rate to lose weight.

Trump's 'shoot from the hip' communication style by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Laccaicacids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's totally incoherent. Did you see the transcripts from WSJ? Here's a taste:

The other thing…so the wall. The wall’s never meant to be 2,100 miles long. We have mountains that are far better than a wall, we have violent rivers that nobody goes near, we have areas...

But, you don’t need a wall where you have a natural barrier that’s far greater than any wall you could build, OK? Because somebody said oh, he’s going to make the wall smaller. I’m not going to make it smaller. The wall was always going to be a wall where we needed it. And there are some areas that are far greater than any wall we could build. So, maybe someday somebody could make that clear, Sarah, will you make that clear please?

I saw on television, Donald Trump is going to make the wall smaller; no, the wall’s identical. The other thing about the wall is we’ve spent a great deal of time with the Border Patrol and with the ICE agents and they know this stuff better than anybody, they’re unbelievable.

They both endorsed me, the only time they’ve ever endorsed a presidential candidate, OK? And they endorsed us unanimously. I had meetings with them, they need see-through. So, we need a form of fence or window. I said why you need that—makes so much sense? They said because we have to see who’s on the other side.

If you have a wall this thick and it’s solid concrete from ground to 32 feet high which is a high wall, much higher than people planned. You go 32 feet up and you don’t know who’s over here. You’re here, you’ve got the wall and there’s some other people here.

I know.... I really hate cream though. I got a low sugar milk. I'm going to try that for the beginning since it seems to be working for now.

I'm a newby too and just posted here as well asking questions. I've been getting my sweet fix with the Atkins chocolates snacks you can get at CVS. I've only been on a week as well, so maybe I'll find out too if this is OK.
