And it's my own fault. I bought a huge bottle of ranch dressing at
Costco today, and because I was in a hurry - my eyes went right to the
carb count on the label - 0.2 carbs per tablespoon. GREAT! Not so
fast. When I got home I did the math, and the carb count is really 2

I am tracking my carb consumption on the computer.  I used fitday the last
go-round (before LC) and liked the way it kept track of everything.  Now I
have to subract the fiber from the carbs to get net carbs, and I am not sure
how accurate it is.

Hi folks--
Although I'm exercising moderately and attempting to do a lower-carb diet,
I'm still in the low 160's--and most of my clothes no longer fit me
(previously a size 10P, now a 16P if they can be found).  I bought two pairs

Too bad for PASTA.... You see, "One impassioned speaker called for a swift
death to the Atkins Diet."  A third speaker recalled Sophia Loren's remark:
"Everything you see, I owe to pasta."
PASTA... YUK!!

A week or two ago I asked about fiber supplements and got some very helpful
responses.  In the course of that thread I wondered aloud what was the right
amount of fiber to aim for daily.  I think the query got lost in the noise
of that thread so I've come to start a new discussion ...

So there I was pottering around at work, looking busy, you know the
routeine.
I was sorting through a load of boxes, she looked at me sideways and said
"You've really lost some weight".  Nice one.

of lamb that is.
Does anyone know the best way to cook a rack of lamb? Last time, I
followed Mark Brittman's advice and parboiled it (I think that's the word,

Went to my local source and found a sign saying the MANUFACTURER was

what I thought were severe hunger pains. After eating a bit of dinner and
feeling worse, I thought it was gas. By the next morning I suspected
appendicitis.

What's glycerin, and why is it subtracted from total carb count?  I was

said there were 14g of carbohydrates with 6g of fiber and 6g of glycerin for

Recently enjoyed a soup made with celeriac root.  It was wonderful!
Would like to recreate it at home however cannot locate carb/nutrient info
on this.
Can anyone help  or  point me in the right direction?

Today about 60 hours or so after I started induction on Monday morning, I
retested myself with the keto sticks and I am off the charts!  160 percent
or better.  As soon as I stuck it in my 'sample' lol, it changed before I
could even pull it out.  This is just the visual indicator ...
