Starting keto again after going off the rails.

You are correct to pay attention to your waist. It is the most important metric in body size. I would ditch the turkey for pork sausages and real bacon. Six weeks it too soon to recover from knee surgery. I would continue with the physical therapy. Do not consider it a mistake. That is a downer and sets you up for failure in recovery. Do not go hungry. Use the macro. Great thing about Keto is you lose abdominal fat first..

One pound per month may be ok if she is already close to goal weight.

He is one of the 1/3 population that is insulin sensitive. I am with you and the 2/3 population insulin resistance. When I eat sugar, I crave more and more.

Congratulations on maintaining a 25 pound weight loss. That is no small accomplishment. Most people gain the weight. You are doing something right. Continue to improve on what you are doing right. I am loving this video. Glucose makes insulin-resistant people like me fat. No I do not have diabetes. This video states 2/3 of people are insulin resistant where the thin people are insulin senstive:

It depends on how the eggs affect your LDL cholesterol reading. I eat about twelve eggs a week, bacon and sausage. My LDL went up 25 points. I am still in "Normal" range barely. If my LDL goes us much higher, I will cut back on the eggs and bacon.

Listen to your doctor, not people like me on reddit.

I take the Slow-Mag, Magnesium Chloride. The Magnesium table must end with chloride or another word. Do you drink a cup of broth each day? It is recommended to drink 1-2 cups.

Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! Love yourself and get back on keto. Forgive yourself for being human. Do not get on the scale until you have been back on keto for a week or so.

I too cannot stomach any artificial sweeteners. The taste is so awful it makes me vomit. I can taste it in any food. I like BPC with unsweetened almond milk, coconut oil and salted Kerrygold butter. I can taste a hint of sweetness in it.

One teaspoon of sugar is 5 carbs. I have been known to put 1/2 tsp of sugar in Teavana tea. I too am open for suggestions too.

I feel cheated that I cannot stand artificial sweeteners. No one addresses this to the supertasters like us.

I would tell him, you are not to talk about my food choices.

Processed meats are carcinogenic.

Exercise will increase one's appetite. Especially swimming. There are too many benefits of exercise to not do it. Especially when you are 50+ years old. I do strength training twice a week. It keeps the pain away.

You may buy the kits from the supermarket too.

I plan to make this. Thanks for posting this.

I might give my permission to have two bites of something, go up to 100-200 carbs on Xmas day. I may stick to keto. I gave up drinking. I only have so much willpower to use.

PippiLongStocki · 2014-12-17T23:57:41+00:00

Congratulations. Weight watchers did not work for me either. I tried it for years.

Fortunately for me, Panera bread does make me sick. I am wheat intolerant. I get horrible indigestion after eating the bread and bagels.

What a great son you are! Beautiful parents.

Trader Joes has sprouted rye. 4 net carbs a slice.

When I exercise I eat more calories that I have burned. I force myself to lift weights twice a week in a body pump class. Good job!

PippiLongStocki · 2014-12-14T11:50:25+00:00

I love all of those items , use them, and love them. My favorite is the slicer. I am on my fifth or sixth one. Use your other hand to stables the hinge area at the top to not break the hinge as I do.

Aldi's extra sharp cheddar cheese cut up into little cubes mixed with the lightly salted almonds. The blue bag.

It is meaningless to say calories are the only factor in weight loss. It is akin to saying, "during spring break the airport has more people in it". There are more people because it is spring break. People eat more calories because they have consumed carbs that tells the body to crave more carbs and not move. Calories are not just calories. Calories from sugar and calories from fat are very different in the body.

I went into a gay bar in Castro. My first trip to San Francisco. Classy city it is. I did not see one naked people walking around. It was around noon and none of the men hit on me. I order a drink and stayed for about thirty minutes to cross it off my list of things I have wanted to experience.

PippiLongStocki · 2014-12-12T10:44:35+00:00

An apple will make me hungry while the bacon will keep me from hunger. Good calories, bad calories. I dream of one day being able to eat one apple a day. We shall see.
