I’m in NZ so we probably have different chia crackers here. Recipes abound if you are not already overwhelmed with food prep. :x /quote] New Zealand is so beautiful and your culture is so unique. Nice to know a Kiwi! (I have another friend in Christchurch.) I do feel overwhelmed with food prep! Onc...

I'm another underweight person, and like Susan, have to stay on appropriate low processed carbs to keep my weight on. It's been a struggle to put 3-4 pounds back on, and I have 2-3 more pounds to go. Slacker, what would you say your macronutrient balance is? 50% carbs maybe? I remember feeling more...

Hello Lindy, I feel your frustration. I am also 5ft 3 and have a BMI of 19.8 at present. I started out weighing 58 kg and dropped to 49 kg at my lowest point. I was traveling overseas at the time, walking a lot and obviously not using Cronometer. I was quite shocked when I finally found some scales...

I agree with Susan.... I had to add more carbs because I felt too thin (and keep getting comments I look bad even tho I am at BMI of 21). Anyway, I've been adding on basmati rice (Gundry approved) and more sweet potatoes. Thanks for sharing your experience, ru442. I know Dr. Bredesen put sweet pota...

Lindy, you have to eat what works for you. We're all different and Stavia's guidelines might not work for you. I realize even Stavia says this, so I need to take it to heart. Thanks for the reminder, Susan! Like you, when I eat high fat, I end up feeling stuffed, can't seem to eat enough and have t...

My theme song these days seems to be Paul Simon's "Slip Slidin' Away." I am really struggling to maintain my weight on the Ketoflex diet. I need to maintain my reserves for the grandbaby who's scheduled to make her appearance in September, and I'm not feeling my healthiest right now even t...

Hi Lindy, I am with you on The Artisana raw O almond butter 100% ; it has been one of my favorite Foods for a few years. It elevates everything it touches! And I'm with you and Starfish 77 on berries in yogurt - I go with nonfat organic Greek yogurt, and I tend to prefer frozen berries, because the...

What a great topic, floramaria! I think my great discovery was raw organic almond butter (I buy Artisana's version). It is insanely delicious and can be used as a decadent dip or stuffing for raw foods - celery, apple, jicama. or any plate of mixed raw vegetables. But my favorite thing to dip in alm...

Hello everyone, I have recently learned of my E4E4 status and joined the site. It seems that with the emphasis on food, exercise, and sleep that I should keep a good journal/log of the three, both as a method to set goals and see how I have done - especially with the food which is complicated. Can ...
