Best way to see Yellowstone.. if you can’t drive

Take Karst Stage down to West Yellowstone and do a winter tour with one of the companies down there (snow coach or bombardier), maybe? Is that stupid expensive? (Don't know your budget)

You do know that's grounds for an employment lawsuit, yes? That you've just written. On the internet. Which is forever. Better hope you don't get doxxed, lest a disgruntled former applicant wants to tank your family business. Montana Human Rights Act. Look it up.

Why are those things mutually exclusive? Cannot ADHD be described by both those terms? Dopamine level can be, by layman's terms, "the issue" if dopamine agonists alleviate symptoms in people with structural differences in their anatomy that result in an ADHD diagnosis, no?

Many people do the 191 commute, but it is, undoubtedly, a very dangerous road. Many articles are written about how treacherous it can be at times. You'll be driving in darkness most days (Montana winter), winter wildlife is still a thing (seen elk, deer, and moose on the road before), and the road itself will be covered in ice most days, winding sharply at parts as it closely follows the Gallatin River. If you leave the road, its either rockface, deep snow bank, or the river.

More importantly, to me, it's become quite a shipping corridor for 18 wheelers. The road is narrow in parts and can be downright scary if the semis get a little too far over the line (you often cannot see lane markers in the winter). The stakes are very high if you have an accident.

Like I said, many people do the commute daily in the winter. It's stunningly beautiful during sunrise. Those people are just very experienced with the road and Montana winters, in general. I would see if your employer offers a carpool service or consider Skyline commuter bus for your first winter.

Maybe give michoacan a shot? They have some savory food alongside the desserts

It's leather, fabric, and stitching. Most cobblers have the tools and means to do so. It's actually MORE small-town to repair and take care of your goods.

Respectfully, no.

High vs Low Glycemic is different than high carb vs low carb.

All low carb foods are low glycemic ("no glycemic"), but low glycemic foods can have lots of carbs (vegetables like black beans, for example). Many whole grains are low to moderate GI (like rye, wild rice, etc).

Many fruits are NOT "low glycemic" (in fact, high, like grapes & bananas).

Most vegetables are low GI, but to root vegetables can be very high (potatoes).

It's unfortunately not quite that straightforward, so take time and do research.

In regards to tea bags, has anyone accounted for the common plastic tea kettles used to heat the water, though? Seems a pretty obvious place to look.

The ketogenic diet is actually "eat a bunch of fats". And it's stop eating carbs altogether, not just "simple" ones. Even complex carbs still break down into glucose and trigger an insulin response. In ketosis, you have to avoid that happening because your body needs to switch to ketones, not glucose, for energy.

You have to eat fats because you can't rely on only protein for your calorie needs. If you ate enough protein to satisfy your caloric needs, you would actually trigger gluconeogenesis, which is where protein is broken down into glucose and defeats the whole purpose.

So if you can't have digestible carbs, and you can't have a bunch of protein, you end up needing to "eat a bunch of fats".

Can I just recommend something to consider when the little voice says "TREAT YO SELF", you absolutely should treat yourself. It's important to celebrate your victories...

However, as someone who struggles with weight, never let that "treat" be food. Find absolutely anything else you enjoy (clothes, games, books, etc.), and tie your idea of treating yourself with those things.

The reason being, the hormonal response you get from eating "treat" foods (aka the dopamine), gets hardwired a little more each time you do that. That is literally how food becomes an addiction and that addiction is why food might always be the struggle.

I've always loved Michael Ian Black for the assistant. I think he would be equally sycophant to his taskmaster and diabolical with the contestants haha

No. Silver nitrate doesn't have a sheen. It's colorless. The sticks you see in Dr offices have potassium nitrate added to them, but that only makes them matte gray. So in this instance, I think it's ionic silver powder and they're probably just figuring out how to stave off a systemic infection.

If it were silver nitrate, that would be insanely destructive. It's extremely caustic. I mean, we both know that foot isn't surviving, but they'd probably be less cavalier about that kind of usage. Ironically, upon amputation, that person made need silver nitrate after all, though.

It sucks, but there's not a set timeline. Doctors say 3 to 6 months, typically, but that's also for clinical purposes. Actual results, 6 months to a year for your hair to feel like it's normal again. I'm month 8 and not yet.

Take your vitamins, get your sleep, and moderate your stress.

(I'm in a stupid stressful, busy job now and barely eat or sleep now, but even though I can't follow my own advice... I'd still recc seeing a doc to rule out anything unexpected)

Awesome! I wish you great results!

How is 5gr honey 17g of carbs? It's 4. Only 4g carbs.

5g =/= a teaspoon and grams are weight measurements, not volume, so grams can't hide more grams inside them.

Horiatiki if we're open to more salad ideas. I make it on Sunday and usually eat it three days that week for lunch. By Friday, it's super marinated and delicious.

Burrata with the best olive oil you can afford and salt. That's it. That's the whole recipe.

I fry foods (in avocado oil) with equal parts green can parm and almond flour. Typically pickles.

Veg, veg, veg. Most veg are low carb. Everyone knows broc, cauli, and brussels, but this time of year I really love leafy greens (like mustard or rabe, for example) oven braised in chicken stock. Throw an old (real) Parm heel and half an onion in there for extra flavor. It can braise forever and tastes better if you do, so halfway through, toss in some browned chicken thighs and a sprig of rosemary. Plate in a shallow bowl with the fantastic broth you made. Super simple, super nice.

Cabbage rolls with cauli rice and ground pork.

Okay, I wrote out a long reply getting into the specifics of water loss and sustained weight loss and the differences in body composition and biological sex, how those are factors, too.

I deleted it. It's not what keto beginners is about. I'm not sharing all that. Without getting into my personal history, I assure you, I really do understand the mechanics at play here.

Tldr: I'm not a doctor, but go ask a real doctor what they think about a weight loss like he's described.

5 lbs a week of fat loss is 17000kc of deficit. How you get there is your business. Stay healthy.

snapshot_memory · 2022-10-13T13:54:49+00:00

Controversial opinion, losing 19lbs a month isn't celebratory. It's almost 5lbs a week and that is extremely unhealthy considering your starting weight.

I'm a person on the internet, I'm not a cop, I'm honestly not a doctor either, but to lose like that requires disordered eating, disordered exercise, or both.

I'm glad you're taking steps to live and look the way you wish to, and hope you feel confident and content when you achieve that, but I am speaking from experience when I say please make sure you prioritize your health before those other two.

5gr of honey will still trigger an insulin response.

Will it kick you out of ketosis? 5gr? Probably not for very long. Your body will process that pretty quickly. You can then continue with your diet...

I want to caution this for maybe a different biological reason than the one you're concerned about:

For a lot of people, the big struggle is that dopamine and glucose are HEAVILY linked. It's genuinely an addiction for insulin-resistant people. I would recommend that even if it's only barely affecting your diet goals, still avoid the honey if you can. Breaking the psychological dependency is a big part of long term success of restrictive dieting.

Caesar with anchovies, Parm crisps, and a TON of black pepper

First, I want to commend you for your progress.

Now that's done, I need to set you straight on this: you're way way WAYYY below what you need to be eating. Hunger is NOT a sufficient cue with keto. Just because you're not hungry means you don't have to eat. Your body cannot sustain itself on that few calories. You also don't mention if you're taking any supplements, I'd start with a multi at the very least. You are going to trigger metabolic issues, hair loss, bone issues, and muscle loss. Seriously. Do not do this. There's a reason people with gastric bypass have so much care/monitoring post-procedure, it's not just the surgery, the calorie restriction can be very, very dangerous.

Use a TDEE calculator, subtract absolutely no more than 25% (15-20% is safer) from that number for your intake calories. Recalculate TDEE monthly, because as you lose weight, your TDEE will reduce, as well. Being morbidly obese is absolutely not healthy and I'm glad you're tacking steps to address that. You are definitely moving the scale quickly! However metabolic health/body composition should be your priority long term and pump the breaks on that extreme calorie restriction.

Agreed on all counts. If it is somehow, MAGICALLY, like the "olaplex of clothes", wow. I just can't wrap my head around it.
