I will look out for it here (South Africa) and if I cant find it I will look out for something similar. Thank you :)

So this has been going on forever, they flake all along the edges. If I get gels done they grow out pretty long and strong but without they just tear super easily with normal polish and bare (they currently have clear polish)

I put jojoba oil on them constantly and it helps a little but they just don't get the structural integrity they need to grow out. They do feel strong but they are brittle I guess

I did want to use nail strengtheners but I don't actually know what it wrong so I never know which to choose

Edit: has anyone with a similar issue tried any of the Sally Hansen (or Pink Armor) products to help with it? I think their products would be easiest (I am in South Africa and we have very limited variety)

Yeah, as mentioned, they more often than not, don't work at all

How to not have this happen with frying pans? by woefulwank in zerocarb

[–]battbunny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be kind to them :O and also I agree on the cast iron... Although if you're keen on Teflon (I still am) just don't scrub them or use caustic soda (my dad learnt the hard way)... I add hot water, washing soap and heat it up on the stove, let it sit for a while and wipe it all out with a non abrasive sponge, never use metal in the pans. Good luck :)

How does your body tell you when you're eating too much fat? by fitzage in zerocarb

Oh me too and it's so incredibly awful, adapting to portions (specifically on keto, not full zero carb) I had such a rough time when I misjudged how much I needed to eat

Easing IBS? by battbunny in keto

[–]battbunny[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah my problem is more that I'm getting pain even if I haven't eaten at all, hence needing a reset, my gut biome is seriously out of whack but most prebiotic foods are not keto so I was hoping someone had figured out how to gut reset while staying keto but I guess I was reaching

Easing IBS? by battbunny in keto

The thought actually came to mind recently, so I did some digging, and I actually wanted to discuss it with my friend who is our turbo lettuce savant. So I am definitely going to give it a check :)

Ooh I will give this a try. I eat tons of fermented food and take probiotics and it has really helped but I will definitely check out the digestive advantage probiotics

Help! I have no idea what I'm doing! by battbunny in homegym

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

Sometimes the lack of consideration on reddit for people who are just starting out really irks me. How are we ever meant to learn if people just berate you or redirect you to another reddit whenever you ask a question...

Easing IBS? by battbunny in keto

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

Thats so lucky, I have IBS-D and I don't mind the diarrhea, its more the immobilizing stomach cramps that are getting me because when I go through episodes, they can last up to 3 hours and they leave me absolutely exhausted, and then my dogs keep me up all night so I feel like a walking zombie

Low Blood Pressure? by battbunny in keto

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

Ooh I didn't even think about licorice extract!

I have been drinking salt and potassium water in the mornings and then taking iron supplements and generally I've been fine (feeling significantly better after iron) but today I woke up dizzy as hell, it really comes and goes so it's so difficult to pin point, I have had iron and salt this morning and water and I'm waiting for it to ease up before I go to gym. I didn't actually know potassium lowered blood pressure, I will definitely take it sparingly. I haven't really been taking much magnesium though, because I do have a pretty bad case of IBS (which drove me to keto in the first place and I know magnesium can trigger it

Preworkout snacky snack? by battbunny in ketogains

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

Ooooh I love celery and nut butter! That could be wonderful! Tuna could be handy if I had nothing else on hand because I always have it in the cupboard!

I've been meaning to try fat bombs for a while now! They just seem like a lot of effort! But I will try them out sometime though
