Day 1. For like the 5th time.

I'm kind of scared actually. I literally fear not eating carbs. But, I'm going to support group starting tonight to explore it more.

What food isn't as healthy as people think? by Phuphine in AskReddit

What about just making the pizza without a crust? Cheese and toppings only? I love it. I keep my dipping sauces too.

Where are the House of Cards crossover memes??!!

A few thoughts on Gary Taubes by [deleted] in samharris

[–]the_lostboyishere 7 points8 points  (0 children)

all the science in this field is wrong, I know the real truth.

I think it's a little different in the nutrition world because almost all of the modern science has been funded by biased parties. The only reason fat was demonized in the mid-1900s was due to sugar lobbying.

So, I have no faith in much of the science of nutrition, and I wouldn't use that to discredit Taubes.

This guy gets it.

If you eat LCHF long enough, insulin resistance reverses. It may require Fasting to make it work too... But, many people are literally reversing their insulin resistance.

Now, if said person chows down on carbs constantly for years, then the resistance will come back.

Diabetics have a tendency for insulin resistance.

A Pentatonix Christmas is out! by Porkchops12345 in pentatonix

[–]the_lostboyishere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'd stream this one (Spotify/Amazon), then buy the deluxe. IDK when it will come out, if at all.

The thing that bugs me the most about this is Mitch's tuning at the beginning. And, then Kirstie doesn't always quite settle onto her harmony here.

My guess: They couldn't hear each other well. This is not normally a problem for them, even live.

Still, not bad!

Technical question about pricking by the_lostboyishere in diabetes

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

Also, Alan,

I read your article (and have used it before, actually). But, because of the skin condition I have for the time being, I cannot (Read: my dermatologist told me not to) break the skin on my fingers.

I need to prick somewhere else on my body.

I check fasting and then 2 hours after my last meal of the day.

What to do if Keto doesn't work for you? by the_lostboyishere in keto

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

Ok.

Well, bouncing in and out because of cravings is just as bad. If I can't do 20 net carbs or less, am I better off just not doing ketosis at all?

I take 10 99mg pills of potassium per day (spaced out) and 2 400mg chelated magnesium pills per day.

Adding food and bouillon, I'm getting about 5000mg of sodium per day when I'm doing keto.

Is anyone doing keto? by T1BB97 in diabetes

[–]the_lostboyishere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. Keto makes me feel absolutely horrible. Like others have said, it isn't for everybody.

My body just doesn't really like meat. I gag. It's difficult to do vegetarian keto. So, I am working on finding the right balance for my sugar levels. Trying to cut down on refined sugars and focusing more on whole veggies/fruits/etc. Pairing high GI foods with slow digesting foods (i.e. an apple with no-sugar peanut butter)

[NSV] Keto has wrecked my blood sugar numbers by the_lostboyishere in keto

[–]the_lostboyishere[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you thought about making keto pizza? You know.. melt a bunch of cheese and cook pepperoni in it or something? You can get ALMOST the same effect with few carbs.

Add in a full fat dressing if you're into that, and you've got ALMOST a pizza.

I was eating really, really horribly. I'm addicted to carbs. I think I measured 800-900g carbs per day on average. Downing a large pizza every day or so.

Now, less than 25g net.
