    Is there some sort of formula that can put my mind at ease re: changing fat to muscle and the subsequent effect on weight?

    I went from 224 and extremely sedentary (for about 3 months before Jan 1st) to keto a couple of weeks ago to keto + lots of activity/workouts a week ago.  I droppred down to a low of 207 last Fri.  I'm actually up to 210 today.  I'm trying to convince myself that I've lost fat and added muscle, but I don't want to make excuses.

    You will have lots of fluctuations on keto, especially as your body takes time to get fat adapted.  I'd guess you are holding more water for whatever reason.

    Adding muscle is very slow, check this link: https://www.bodybuilding.com/content/how-much-muscle-can-you-gain.html

    37 is high...especially for just 1 meal.  Hold the beans and corn and that number is probably close to zero.

    It's actually 27 net, which is within range for some.  Agree with your beans/corn assessment.

  3. Just had the best pork rinds I've ever had: Field Trip Snacks.  I had the Sweet Chipotle and Island BBQ flavors. Airy crispy crunchy goodness. The flavors weren't too over the top sweet, just 2g carbs per bag.  The Island BBQ flavor is on sale on amazon right now, 12 bags for 17.99.

    Man that’s a lot of xanthan. I find that I can thicken a reduction well with half a teaspoon in some cases. When I have used more like a tablespoon, the texture became thick and viscous which was not the most appetizing. Does the oil change the consistency to something less snotty?

     

    I don't use it for thickening in this case, mostly for color and it gives the same nutty flavor when darkened.  As to the consistency, like flour, it loses a lot of it's thickening power when your brown it to chocolate color. It also loses the snottiness for sure.  I hate that snotty consistency.

    I started a low carb meal topic on the food board for anyone looking for ideas, or has any recipes, etc. to share for anyone interested. Low carb is easy for me, but always looking for new ideas as it gets harder to find new things to eat. 

    Nice! I posted my low carb gumbo hack over there.

  6. Low Carb Gumbo:

    Make your roux with xanthan gum instead of flour and greatly reduce the amount of onion you would normally use. Below is an off the top of my head recipe, but really any gumbo recipe will work with this roux.

    4 T Xanthan Gum

    1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil

    1/2 Onion - Diced

    1 Green Bell Pepper - Diced

    4 Stalks Celery - Diced

    4 cloves garlic - minced

    1 Lb Andouille Sausage - Sliced 1/2" thick

    4-6 Chicken Thighs

    2 Qts Chicken Broth

    Worcestershire Sauce

    Tabasco Sauce

    Salt

    Pepper

    Cayenne

    Other Spices you like in your Gumbo.

     

    1. Make Roux with Xanthan Gum and Oil in a small pot

    2. In a large dutch oven, Brown Sausage

    3. Add chicken thighs cook til done, add a little oil if necessary

    4. Remove and dice chicken

    5. Add veggies and chicken

    6. When veggies are softening, add roux, broth, Worcestershire, Tabasco, and spices.

    7. Bring to a boil, simmer for a few minutes

    8. Serve without rice

    Ah yes. The standard 3 pages of equivocations about a player we've been down on that we'll now justify being stuck with for years.

    "Listen, of course I'd prefer a nice pour of Macallan 25, or even a few fingers of Garrison Brothers. But you guys who are insisting that rubbing alcohol isn't a perfectly fine drink at the end of the day are just being fucking assholes. And you know what, you're not a coach BARTENDER, trust the staff."

    FIFY

  8. Meh, the offense was okay.
    If I ever see the defense looking at the sideline again when the ball is being snapped will be too soon.  Get fucking set.
     
    Oh and by the way one more delay of game on the offense when there is a fucking change of possession and that coach needs to be fucking fired immediately.  


    Okay doesn’t win championships.
