I make this same recipe but with splenda - they almost pass for sugar cookies, but better with that awesome nutty taste. :)

In addition to a glucose tolerance test, another test I had was simply fasting insulin levels. Generally, a nondiabetic with hyperinsulinemia while fasting can be presumed insulin resistant. And yes,...

From what I remember from my "biology of eating disorders and obesity" neuroscience class, insulin (and even the other neuropeptide you mentioned) is NOT the only hormone at work when it comes to fat...

Well, from what I've read and watched (which has been a lot, albeit not as in depth as some of the people discussing Keto science) - overeating is being caused by, or at least stimulated by said...

I have done this - it's friggin' amazing. The pork rinds also make a great breadcrumb replacement in meatloaf, and mixed with parmesan (or parmesan alone) for "breading." =)

I apologize for not knowing the quantities, since I just sprinkle spices on till it "looks good" - but my standard taco seasoning is:

Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Chili Powder...

It is my understanding that the number one booster of obesity is insulin resistance, not vise versa.

Wow, everybody has been so helpful!

Miranda, thank you for clarifying.

Catskills, I will take the dietary fat advice into account. However, I've found that the online calorie-needs...

I don't treat it like a free-for-all. I don't really agree with the "doesn't matter what you eat" thing, since in the past RELIGIOUS calorie counting has failed me time and time again, and even my...

I'm frankly not counting calories because of the carb-counting thing, but that's an excellent point that you make - maybe calories are more important than I thought.

An average day for me looks...

Hi - I'm a longtime reader/lurker here, but only recently dug up this old account so I can talk with all of you.

So, here's my situation:


I'm 24 years old and have lost over 100lbs. I did it...

Thanks so much for your advice. I'm working on this "I can't" business, if you look back at an old post of mine, you'll see that I was just swimming in them - LOL! I'm really interested in more than...

Hi everyone! First, let me preface with this: I'm 20 years old, 245 pounds, 5'5" tall.
I'm a college student, and I have little to no money. I live with my boyfriend and his family - THEY make all...

I do, in fact, cook once or twice a week and that's when I generally do my chicken breast and healthyish meals. I also try to have them "leave out" a serving of whatever protein they're cooking...

Honestly? I think the reason I can choke down v8 is because of the salt, and because about 80% of what I taste kinda tastes like spaghetti sauce due to the tomato.

No, I have not. I have no health insurance. I'd love to take one. I also had a doctor hypothesize (but was unable to move forward due to me losing my free-for-minors insurance) that I have PCOS and...

Pardon this, but....

Can I ask how someone can just "Get up off their butt and get their license" when they DO NOT KNOW how to drive, DO NOT HAVE a car to learn in, and DO NOT HAVE THE CASH (costs...

Thanks everyone for your speedy replies and piles of information.

And don't worry, I'm used to the "you don't want it bad enough" or "playing the victim" comment. I wonder if people realize that...

I posted this on another forum a few months ago and got let into a ketogenic diet that basically messed my metabolism up even more. Lost 12 pounds in a week, nothing the next 3 weeks, felt sick, and...
