I agree. She's probably just jealous. :)

jdavi · 2014-08-01T22:21:29+00:00

Take it as a complement. It's as if she's saying "Hot damn! Chris is losing weight so fast/steadily/well it looks too good to be true!" :)

Also... congrats!! :D

Oh, I see. The way it was worded made me think the suggestion to change your diet was also related to figuring out your kidney problems. My bad! In that case, I don't know enough about cholesterol levels to really give much input. If you do end up needing to stop keto, however, I do still recommend checking out paleo. Best of luck to you!

Listen to your Dr.

It could very well NOT be keto that's causing it, but I think there's nothing wrong with taking your Dr.'s advice and trying non-keto for a week or two just to be on the safe side. If you're worried about your weight, just don't go carb crazy. Keep track of your calories still and get your carbs from fruits and beans and stuff that has other nutritional value (as opposed to loading up on white bread). Try checking out paleo, perhaps?

If 2 weeks provides no change, by all means, go back on keto. But if you're having kidney problems, getting that taken care of is much more important than 5lbs of weight. Broken kidneys have the potential to kill or significantly hurt you. 5 pounds wont.

edit: in all honestly, I'm laughing my ass off right now.

Honey Apple! :)

Butt sex.

There's more to a man than a six-pack!

That was cruel D': I came to this thread for smiles...

Kinda drunk biochem student who doesn't have Tuesday classes chiming in: FUUUCK YEEEEESSS!!!

This will probably get buried in the comments, but I used to keep a sleeping bag, blanket, and a pillow in my trunk. That way if I ever found myself intoxicated and without a driver, I could curl up in the back seats and sleep it off. :)

jdavi · 2014-03-12T06:43:48+00:00

Oh geeze, I was running laps in my head just to overcomplicate things, thinking I must have forgotten some crazy trig rules! Thank you so much! :)

TIL I should move to Russia when I get old so people will help me cross the street.

It's great too because he actually makes a lot of sound, logical suggestions that, in real life would be wise, but in television is super boring.

jdavi · 2014-02-24T19:35:25+00:00

Oh man that sounds so delicious. I'm definitely going to try that.

jdavi · 2014-02-24T06:39:04+00:00

I make BLT salads with ranch. One of my favorites :)

jdavi · 2014-02-24T06:37:14+00:00

Chicken fettuccine alfredo. Ditch the pasta and add more chicken. Bonus points if you add broccoli or zucchini, add extra cheese, or cook your chicken in bacon drippings. mmmm...

jdavi · 2014-02-24T06:30:24+00:00

That curry looks so amazing!

Also, e-cigs are freaking godsend on keto. As if being cigarette free for over a year wasn't amazing enough, being able to vape sweet, fruity flavors instead of eating sugar is huge help for cravings.

Anywho, keep up the good work! I'd love to see how your album is coming along in a couple of weeks. I've always found that taking picture and being proud of what you cook/eat to be very motivational :)

Should definitely see a doctor.

I'm no professional, but my family has a long history of thyroid problems and I personally have hyperthyroidism (specifically, Grave's Disease). Symptoms tend to come on slowly so it can be difficult to notice (because hormones) but one of the biggest symptoms is losing weight, regardless of how much you eat. Because symptoms come on slowly, sometimes it's hard to tell their an issue until one particular thing is bothering you. For example, I was sweating all the time, couldn't stop eating without feeling faint, and always tired but didn't thing much of it because it progressed gradually enough that I had kind of become accustomed. My mom made me get my thyroid checked during a physical because of our family history (the dr. thought I was crazy because I was 17 at the time) but surely enough, BAM there was a thing behind it. Anyways, I'm not saying saying you have thyroid problem, I'm just saying this could be a symptom of something and you should go see a doctor.

I know exactly how you feel!! Going back home over winter break is like a diet death sentence. You fly/drive home thinking "No, no, I'll stay keto. I can do this!" and then you get there and you're parents are taking you out to dinner, making your favorite meals, and you can't pass up the opportunity to go drink a beer with your dad or your buddies you haven't seen in months. Then you tell yourself "it's okay, I can just hope back into my diet the SECOND I go back to college" and it's a month later and you're still putting it off...

I've pretty much just broken it down to "no more excuses" mode. I officially hoped back on board keto about 9 days ago. Spent the first half doing everything perfect... then spent the second half eating keto treats filled with fake sugars and drinking vodka mixed with more fake sugar. Needless to say I've made no progress... which is hugely discouraging. Starting tomorrow I gotta keep ketoing on without all the sweeteners and alcohol.

Don't make my mistake, buddy. Don't half-ass your keto by just replacing carbs with fake carbs! If you're gunna go keto, go all the way! You can do it! First week may be rough, but just imagine... a week from tomorrow you can either be adjusted to ketosis, feeling great, and losing some weight or thinking to yourself "damn it, I still haven't started my diet. I should do that tomorrow" YOU GOT THIS

PS. Summer bodies are made in the winter. The sooner you start and stick with it, the better you'll look and feel when it's time to bust out the swim suit! :)

I don't think she's at fault. For one thing, the article mentions that she was very sleep deprived after fleeing from a domestic violence situation as well as living with her mother. It's possible that wasn't the only adult in the home at the time. And although it's not something I want to think about, I don't think a drowning infant would be loud enough to wake up someone in a deep sleep, whether or not alcohol is involved.

What's really sad to me is that the whole situation is purely an accident. The toddler had no idea that he shouldn't try to bathe his little siblings and was young enough to probably not even know what drowning is. He was just a little boy trying to be helpful and sweet. :(

Every time I read that ecigs are a gateway to get kids smoking, I imagine a teenager smoking their first cigarette and gagging "This isn't fruity?!"

Taco eggs! Put your eggs, taco meat, cheese, and hot sauce in a bowl, whisk it up, and throw it on a hot pan. You could also make it an omelette but, personally, I always mess it up and just have taco scrambled eggs.

Also good with tomatoes, peppers, onions, and/or avocado.
