How do you figure? Eggs and bacon are not going to give you a heart attack.
Re: Down to 14.3% from 20.6% in one month!
I just started taking cider vinegar, that's really cool. Nice to see that you dropped so much while still on lentils too!
This is it right here
Use real bacon, and sticking to the pain won't be a problem. I used montreal steak seasoning on the bacon while i baked it and that gave it a lot...
Re: Kettlebells?
I got a 35lb bell, and that was just about right to start. Walmart online was the cheapest place I found (mostly because there's 97cent shipping).
Re: Legumes? Are they necessary?
If you're eating enough veggies, then you're fine. Some people drop legumes when they stall, and I think they leave it out of the last mile.
I'm sure that's exactly it. I spend a lot of time in Ketosis. One way to combat this is to drink more water. The more you flush out, the less i...
Re: KFC Grilled Chicken
I often get their double down's on grilled filets. I know the cheese isn't allowed, but I usually have it anyways.
I agree that it depends on the person, and I would recommend trying it knowing that it might stall you. I've been drinking a casein shake in the ...
Tim's dad saw results from using a protein shake in the morning, and Laura has suggested using Casein rather than whey. I've been using both case...
Re: What does Timothy Ferriss or the 4hb crowd have to say about marijuana?
Try asking Tim on Twitter or submitting it to his blog. He doesn't answer here. I have seen results on vaporizing every day with this diet. Make sure you're prepared to deal with the cravings a...
Re: Cheat Day timing.
It would be hard (especially being new to the diet) to go 11 days without cheating. I'd recommend having the first cheat day on Saturday, and then continue from there.
Oh I had no idea that it was only allowed in small amounts. Interesting
Re: Reaching 30g for breakfast w/o over eating
Keep the yolk in! Doing so would get you at 24g of protein right there, then you only need to find 6g to fill!
Oh and also, if you're seeing stalls or problems with weight loss, be sure to examine what you're eating or post it here for others. I often find...
Re: can I skip my cheat day?
Of course you can skip it, you can do whatever you want. I wouldn't recommend it though. Cheat day is helpful in that it restores muscle glycogen and for most of us there are huge psychological b...
Re: Time for a Change
I know what you mean. I was eating egg after egg after egg (and bacon), and finally got to the point where I wanted something different. I always browse the local grocery store meat section becau...
Re: Guilt on Cheat day?
If I go easy on a cheat day, I usually regret not eating a lot of things when it's over. If I go without restraint, I get to the point where I literally don't want that junk anymore, and welcome ...
Re: weight loss after no sweetener -except stevia
I hate that this is the case . What am I going to do about my 2 energy drinks a day?... I guess there's no more living in denial!
Thanks for the info! I had been doing Tim's ab exercises and am seeing some results, but not as much as I'd like. I was really thinking about do...
Re: Having headache..
Honestly, if your doctor says not to do it, I would listen. As far as the headaches go, see this thread: http://4hourpeople.com/question/2103/i-started-scd-this-monday-i-ha...
Re: Margarine vs Butter
I know butter is allowed, and I use it with everything. I've always heard margarine is bad for you. I think it has trans fat? It's definitely not natural, so I'm guessing it'd be less healthy t...
Re: Grilled Bacon Jalapeno Wraps - YUM!
I've had my eye on those. I wonder what it would be like with some black beans inside... or maybe if you could pour some cottage cheese in after.
Re: 2 cheat days a week
A couple weeks ago my birthday was on a Thursday, I cheated then and on Saturday. I was up 7lbs after...
Re: Be Careful With Canned Tuna And Vegetable Oil!
Thanks for the tip!
Indeed, love Franks hot sauce
Thanks. Yeah I've done the lists, now I do lists of recipes and am starting to try preparing different desserts and such on cheat day.
Re: If at first you don't succeed try again....
I've definitely gotten to the point a few times lately where I want my freedom back, and with slowed progress I'm getting closer to flying off the rails. Today, my co-workers brought in donuts, ...
Oven scrambled eggs
Here's a little recipe for scrambled eggs, it's an easy way to prepare a lot of eggs (for a lot of people or for meals ahead of time). Substitute water for milk. I've tried it and they turn out n...
