Well done!!!! I hope that someday in the near future that I can make a similar announcement.

Since starting keto, my ability to imbibe has been severely affected. Currently at 240lbs and one shot (usually whisky ir scotch whisky) now makes me so inebriated that I get woozy and can't walk straight. As a result when I am going to drink with friends then I will gave one-half ("1/2") of a...

My substitutes for sweets include the following: i.) Strawberries with heavy cream, touch of vanilla and stevia; ii.) chocolate mug cake made with almond flour and coconut oil with cake sliced into pieces with heavy cream poured over it; and iii.) 4iz of unsweetened almond milk with 4oz. of...

Congratulations!!!!! Fabulous work. As far as future goals, if it were me, I would likely focus on low carbing to continue to lose weight. Again, job well done.

If was in your exact stuation, I would be focusing on intermittent fasting ("IF") and low carb high fat. ("LCHF"). For me IF coupled with LCHF on vacation would probably look like the following: Decaf coffee black (or with just a tiny hit of almond milk or heavy cream). Skipping breakfast...

I started keto and my blood pressure dropped to 120/80 after 90 days of keto. Before keto my blood pressure was 135/90 (no blood pressure meds before or after starting keto). After 90 days of keto, my weight dropped from 275lbs to 240lbs. So it is hard to say whether the keto or the weight...

After I started keto, my HbA1C went from 14.2% to 7.1% in approximately 90 days. FBG went from 338mg/dL to 84 mg/dL in the same 90 days. All attributable to 500mg of Metformin twice a day and the keto diet coupled with intermittent fasting. IOW, sounds like you are headed in the right...

Reaction to taking 500mg of Metformin after missing my once daily 500mg dose for about a week: hypoglycemia/light-headedness to the point where I almost fainted. Ate nothing this morning except for a couple cups of black decaf coffee. Before going to the gym I ingested one 500mg Metformin...

Old thread but on point. Reaction to taking 500mg of Metformin after missing my once daily 500mg dose for about a week: hypoglycemia/light-headedness to the point where I almost fainted. Ate nothing this morning except for a couple cups of black decaf coffee. Before going to the gym I...

I am in the midst of a multi-day fast. I am uncertain as to how long the duration of the fast will be. Thus, my eating is pretty boring. Namely, seven or eight cups of decaf coffee with a splash of almond milk. I will check back in when the fast is over (which could be a couple more days or...

My understanding is that the Squamish are a tribe of indigenous people. However, I thought you to be more of a descendant of the Brigantes or Picts, or perhaps Silures, before this post. . . . LOL

I have also used Asian thickeners: i.) Agar, and ii.) Guar guar. I prefer these two thickeners for desserts. My go to thickener for soups and chowders is xanthan gum. With chicken feet used as a thickener occasionally when readily available.

Alternatively, you can thicken chicken soup by boiling chicken FEET with the stock for a minimum of 30 minutes. Chicken feet are filled with gelatin and thus act as a thickener. Gelatin is also good for a skin and nails. This is a trick that my grandmother showed me years ago.

I use Xanthan gum all the time. Never a problem for me after consuming soup with xanthan gum thickener. Just do not use too much. I usually start with a 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum.

Not being negative, but a juice fast would send my BS into the stratosphere ( all carbs and no fiber or fat). Just my two cents.

I ate the following today, 01062021: Breakfast: McD large coffee with three creamers and two egg sausage McMuffins ( with English muffins discarded). I could not pass up the 2 egg sausage McMuffins for $5 deal. Discarding English muffins saved about 30g of carbs for each english muffin...
