You can also grind up whole almonds in a food processor. Works great but you neighbors will think you have a freight train in your kitchen. Very loud.

For some the idea of a personal fat threshold may be true but for others I think the metabolism is just too broken for it to be that easy. Some people need medications and some maybe for life. I don't like the idea that if someone cannot beat this thing just by getting and staying below a...

The fruits that were available to our ancient ancestors bore no resemblance to the fruit you get today which has been bred and altered to be giant sugar packages. A wild apple looks much like its close relative, the rose hip. Very low in sugars.

I do not see hyperinsulinemia on that list and it is a major player driving insulin resistance and beta cell toxicity. Great list though and glad to not see fat and lazy on there.

I had a norovirus a few years ago. Worst thing I have ever had. Take care of yourself.

Meters. Not just giving people meters but teaching them how to use the information. If you just have a high number but no idea what to do about it then that is just a source of stress but eating to your meter teaches you how to use those numbers and take control of their diet and that is...

Sounds like it could be psoriasis but you need to get it looked at by a doctor to be sure. I am not a doctor, just a psoriasis sufferer.

I would talk to the doctor and discuss any meds you may be on.

Low carb can cause constipation in some people and this may have helped balance you out. Well done on the weight loss and welcome to the forum.

You can take your meter with you and do a test right when they draw bloods for a fasting BG. Compare the results to see how accurate your meter is to the lab. If your meter reads a bit high just be aware of that and carry on. Remember though that HbA1c is a different number and measuring method...

If you lost weight doing an extremely low calorie diet, a bit of rebound weight gain is to be expected. Your body is like WAIT!!!! He's feeding me !!!!! grab it !!! As long as you are not going crazy on the calories, and dairy and nuts are the most calorie dense, you should be ok. Also I do not...

Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you have things under control and know what to do. Good luck with your appointment.

Interesting in the cookbook that @Jay-Marc linked that coconut is forbidden but shortening and vegetable oils allowed. Other than that it is pretty much the standard LCHF and looks much like the Atkins diet.

I can take metformin without food and I do every morning. The only way to know is to try taking it without food. If you get crazy diarrhea then don't do that.

Look up fathead pizza on google. It is very easy to make, low carb, and tough enough to make a decent sandwich. It is also amazingly delicious. I put a good amount of italian seasoning in and you would never know it is made from almonds and cheese. Make it square and cut into sandwich slices. It...

eggs scrambled with some veg of your choice and grated cheese. Throw in a container and nuke at work. You can make it the night before. Also good is leftovers from last nights low carb dinner. Breakfast does not have to be traditional breakfast foods.

I hope he is too. 10 years of hot flashes and night sweats that have finally gone away. I don't even want to think about doing it all again lol.

I went through what I was told was early onset menopause at 37. My hormones were checked and had suddenly dropped to post menopausal levels. From absolutely regular to nothing in 4 weeks. It is now 11 years later and my first visit to a endocrinologist and he told me most of my annoying symptoms...

If you have been keeping to a specific carb limit then you could try raising that limit by 5 grams per week and keeping track of BG and weight. You will soon find out what your tolerance is. When BG starts to go up then dial it back 5 grams. Nuts and cheese are both a good way to stall weight...

Hi and welcome. I live with 7 other people who are not low carb and I do half the cooking. I will do a basic meal with meat, lots of veggies that are low carb, and a starch and will just not put the starch on my plate. It does not have to be a separate meal. Sometimes I will just fry a couple...
