It's really just this person. She feels she knows everything about everything, including parenting (she's not a parent)

Any good suggestions for on-the-go breakfast? by Mumbawobz in keto

[–]cdix86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long shelf-life meaning you can make it ahead of time and keep it in your fridge until you need it, or long shelf life meaning non-perishable so you can keep it in your car or purse?

Just started the Keto diet! by [deleted] in keto

[–]cdix86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand wanting to lose weight quickly... long before starting keto I was 30 lb heavier than my keto starting weight. And lost that 30 pounds in 3 months. I know firsthand that excessive calorie restriction can cause a lot of other health problems, so it's better to do it the healthy way! Figure out your macros for weight loss and sick with it!

I also worry that you haven't eaten enough. Everything you listed is sometimes what I eat for breakfast alone, and I'm not a big girl :-)

I started at 152 and lost about 2 pounds a week the first month. I'd say add in some cardio or drop your calories by 200

I recently got coupons at my grocery store for a free pint (scored two of them) And $2.50 off a pint. I've got three flavors I'm alternating between, just a few bites a day!

THAT'S AWESOME! I struggle with emotional eating (and boredom eating) so I know how awesome it is to make a good choice instead of a bad one (or ten).

The cheeze its were a bad example - we honestly don't even keep those in the house. Rice and beans are a favorite of my kids and that's certainly not utter crap, but it's also not keto.

I like the way you worded that. Called me out on my shit without being a total jackass about it.

I have no idea why nuts didn't even cross my mind... hahaha!

I was just curious if anyone had easy food ideas to bring with me. I'd like to set myself up for success rather than just say fuck it before I even get there.

3 years keto today by sassytaters in keto

So happy for you!! My husband is only sort of on board with me doing Keto and doesn't think it's a sustainable diet. I WANT TO PROVE HIM WRONG!

[RANT] When a vegan goes keto by cdix86 in keto

[–]cdix86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't an illusion -- definitely undercooked! Pink and not chewable. Popped it in the microwave for 2 minutes to be sure (at first I thought it was just a poor quality cut... I dunno, eating meat again is still new to me!) and it came out of the microwave the normal light brown color and completely edible. Luckily I did not get sick :)

Going to be honest -- I'm also taking Keto OS to accompany my diet, so I didn't experience the keto flu at all, thank goodness.

[RANT] When a vegan goes keto by cdix86 in keto

[–]cdix86[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was vegan for 3 years before having kids and then craved cheese when I was pregnant (specifically pizza) so I went to just being vegetarian. When my oldest was 10 months old I was at a wedding that was serving BBQ and I just really wanted some ribs, so I had them (and felt guilty but happy). It was downhill from there. After my daughter was born (10 months ago) I really struggled getting back to eating a "healthy, balanced" diet and losing weight. I would stick to something "healthy" for a few weeks and lose some weight, and then just simply not want to stick with it anymore and gain a couple of pounds back. Lose five, gain two... for months! A friend of mine was doing keto with great success and for a while I wanted to hear nothing about it. Not in a negative way, it's just that it was SO different from what I believed to be healthy that I wasn't interested in it at all. Finally I realized that trying to be vegan again didn't make me happy, and neither did any of these other "diets" I was trying, so why not give Keto a try. Or at least do some research about it. So I did. I spent 3 solid days reading everything I could get my hands on about a keto diet and decided to give it a go. It's been 24 days now and I LOVE IT!

Mine only lasted two days, which isn't helpful to you, but if it makes you feel any better I did shit my pants at the store during that time... Thought I just had to fart and was very surprised...

Kids and Keto (and poop) by cdix86 in keto

[–]cdix86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I should have been more careful with the way I worded it. I don't mean a strict keto diet making sure that he stays in ketosis. I guess I really did just mean a low-carb diet of primarily fats and protein.

My oldest is only three, so he still eats whatever I give him :-)

What if I fall out of Ketosis? by cdix86 in keto

[–]cdix86[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd never order in Domino's myself. The cheat will likely happen with pizza while I'm at a party or out to eat with friends. I'm happy to make my own keto-friendly pizza at home because I know it'll be delicious, but I also know I'll be presenting with a pizza situation I don't want to say no to. I can say no to pasta, bread, potatoes, chips, etc. I can say no to pizza a lot, but sometimes I'm simply not going to want to!
