Re: Intermittent Fasting
The point of IF is to clear your glycogen stores, which is about 1000 calories. So it takes about 14 hours. So you need to fast for 16 hours to get any benefit. Once your stores are depleted, your body has to burn fat. You don't NECESSARILY have to consume fewer calories. You can easily eat 3 full meals in 8 hours. I'm… -
Re: Gut health (fellow auto immune sufferers)
Hello @Hemingway Here is a summary of what I'd recommend for gut health: 1. Avoid gut irritants - NSAIDs (aleve), caffeine, alcohol, sugary-beverages, etc. 2. Create diverse microbiome by including A LOT of plant foods that contain both insoluble (not digestible) and soluble (digestible) fibre. Examples include: * Fruits *… -
Re: Recipe net carbs vs. exploded recipe
@Lisa_O , @Aaron, @Frank This was something I noticed the first time I added an Atkins snack to my diary, the net carbs were a lot higher than what I had expected and I no longer had the original packaging to check. I ended up only eating 1/3 of the serving in order to keep my 40g. of carbs for the day. The next time I was… -
Re: What are suitable macro ratios for different age groups and different activity levels?
@Henry_98 Your macronutrients look great, but I'd probably encourage you to include more lysine rich foods in your diet, as this is considered the limiting amino acid on a vegan diet (meaning that your protein status could be comprised if you chronically lack lysine).

Re: NUTRITIONAL ADVICE FOR WFPB, HYPOTHYROIDISM & OSTEOPENIA?
@Pat_16 Thanks for your question! I'm a plant-based dietitian, so your question fits in nicely with the work I do. :smile: If you haven't for awhile, it might be worth getting your TSH, T4, and T3 values evaluated. If your thyroid is functioning normally, there is no need to avoid any cruciferous vegetables. However, even… -
Re: New Fasting Feature!
@Hilary Well, first of all, as I said, I still do not have it on my Android phone, only on the website, so I don't know what features it'll have. To me, there are some crucial points in Zero app. 1) widget (Cronometer Android app doesn't have one at all, which is a serious problem for me), 2) preset fasts, like 16-8, 18-6,… -
Custom categories / Tags
Problem definition For someone that creates a lot of recipes, there are no way of categorizing them that fit my need. I have problems finding recipes that I know I have created, and I get a lot of irrelevant recipes showing up when I try to find the right recipe to add for a given meal. Story #1 As a user, I need to be… -
Sugar to stop gluconeogenesis?
Hi! I have asked similar questions on the forum before only to discover that people that know much about ketosis don't seem to frequent this forum at all. That being said let me begin: I have had unexplained high blood sugars (Not being under stress and having high cortisol) during outright water fasts and now on what Dr.… -
