"Why do I get tired/migraines"
This is how our bodies tell us that something is wrong. Same thing happens to me. Since you have celiac the the best way to stay healthy is to not eat gluten at all.
Having cheat gluten is not worth the migraines and emotional distress. Telling your family you cannot eat something is hard, but necessary step in this. I've found telling people, "I can't eat that," "I'm not hungry," or "I'd love to smell it," helps.
Gluten alternatives (prepackaged stuff) and learning how to cook was the best way for me to avoid gluten. Having a good cookbook helps. I've been using this one to prepare my families meals for a while now "Cook Once, Eat All Week"
You didn’t ask for books, but Cook Once Eat All Week is exactly this! She gives 26 weeks of meal prepping and it’s not just cook all these meals and have leftovers. You prep the ingredients so you can make truly quick fresh meals all week. It is extremely friendly step by step instructions for how to prep everything on Day 1, then recipes for the week you can do in any order you want.
I have been there, very recently. For the last decade. I can honestly say I absolutely have an addiction problem with sugar & carbs. They are without a doubt my downfall.
I started following a Keto diet in December 2017 and even though I've only lost 20 lbs since then (I have over 100 to lose), I'm off sugar entirely and off carbs for the most part - I try to get my carbs from my vegetables instead now. Coming off them was hard, admittedly, it was a rough week, and I still have my moments where I just want a real burger with fries, but if I make that choice it's going to hurt me, it's like "a little bit of heroin" for a drug addict and I can so easily fall off the wagon and go back to my old habits.
I am reading this book: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1628600160/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it's really good at describing why we gain weight, why we become addicted to sugar and can't seem to get off them if we keep eating an excess of carbs, etc. I highly recommend reading it, even if you don't follow the diet, it's a really good read. I also follow r/keto & r/xxketo <- lots of helpful stuff in there.
PM me if you want to talk, (if it matters, I'm 35, female, single, live in southern Alberta, Canada). In the last 2 years I moved away from all my friends & family (by choice, for a job), and then lost my dad (last January, he was waiting for new lungs) and he was my favorite person to joke with, no one else really measures up to match my sense of humor. It sucks losing a loved one who gets you.
My favorite meal prep resource is this cookbook. I think the recipes are beginner friendly and it does a good job of walking you through what to do when. It’s also a nice variety of foods and cooking techniques, so you don’t get bored and everything doesn’t end up tasting the same/having the same texture.

This is a nice call back to something I read in a book 12 years ago, when I first tried the paleo lifestyle. Loren Cordain co-wrote The Paleo Diet for Athletes, and in the book he talks about his travels to societies without too much of a modern footprint, and really talked about how amazing their dental hygiene is. It is a great read and I wish I had been able to stick to paleo back then, but it was extremely difficult while stationed out to sea with the Navy. Not sure if this video takes anything from Dr. Cordain’s research, but it seems that 12 years later, the knowledge link is still there.
I've read that the urine ketone test strips are not a good measure.
I've recently been reading Keto Clarity which has a lot of good information on how to measure.
But they basically say the most accurate way to measure ketones is a blood ketone meter or ketone breath analyzer. Ketones in the urine are inaccurate and could disappear after being keto-adapted for a while.
I bought the Precision Xtra Blood Glucose & Ketone Monitoring System and Ketonix to try it out for myself, so I could figure out my personal threshold. Haven't received them yet, so I can't tell you my results.
I really recommend that book though, it's a really good read so far. They went on to publish Keto Cookbook which I actually picked up first at Costco, and after reading that I picked up Keto Clarity on amazon.
No problem, and you'll probably laugh. But it's called "The Leangains Method" by Martin Berkhan (creator of Leangains! IF high priest and cheesecake master!)
You can actually buy it on Amazon
I also recommend to you cooking with poo
I read it when I was a competitive cross country runner. It's a good read and has a lot of valuable information about how many carbs you need as an endurance athlete, meal timing and meal planning.
Hello! My brother has really gotten into in this past year. I really need some help for gift giving, as I do not know the ways of wood nor how to work it, if anyone has any recommendations or even a general direction to point me in that'd be greatly appreciated. Also gag gifts are HIGHLY encouraged, as I love to cook and a few years back he got me this gem of a book and I still haven't recovered. Looking to spend around $50-$75 if possible but any advice is more than welcome. Thank you all!
I'm a crew chief, not far off from ammo maturity-wise...this is my go-to for deployed christmas gift
Buy 'Eat Rich, Live Long', read it, act on it, you will turn your life around, get in great shape and feel empowered.
I'm deadly serious. I did it thinking I had no chance and in just 3 months I lost 25% of my body weight and have never looked back.
There is a great doc (imo) that helped kick me into action. It’s called The Magic Pill. Maria Emmerich also explains why being a fat burner is better for your organs in her first cookbook. Once you know, you know… you can feel better. Bad habits are not impossible to break! You can do it !
For me, keto means meat + veggies. I don't do dairy because it's horrible for me. Causes cystic acne and I'm sensitive to lactose. I agree with everyone that's saying to just change your approach.
A great dairy-free keto cookbook that's saving my life right now is Leanne Vogel's. Definitely check it out and see if her recipes sound like something that could work for you. My only gripe is that she relies on gelatin a lot, but 9 times out of 10, it really lands. In recipes where that approach doesn't work for me, I just substitute the gelatin for coconut cream.
Good that you say you are healthy, that's a good place to start from. I'm 51, and I personally follow the leangains program. I go to the gym 3 days a week and eat plenty (but differently than I did), so I think it's a really efficient way to gain muscle while also losing weight. I fell off the wagon a bit the 1st year of covid (gyms being closed sucked!), but I'm not back to where I was and then some. Check out r/leangains and/or read Martin's book for more info.
Not exactly a crock pot meal but I LOVE the cookbook “Cook Once, Eat All Week”. Essentially you cook one time of protein and prepare some other ingredients at the beginning of the week, so that you can whip together easy meals during the week. Especially nice for younger kids because you can leave their ingredients separate when you make each meal if you need to.

From what I have read the vax is still giving protection against severe disease.
Here is what I would recommend:
Fuck it’s real. Also apparently a good cockbook. Er, cookbook.
This was a thing for me too. I found this book to refer to as I was heavily into working out and sports.
https://www.amazon.com/Paleo-Diet-Athletes-Nutritional-Performance/dp/160961917X
Also I use myprotein.com for whey isolate for my post workout protein. The unflavored version has nothing added and is easy to down.
One thing I did to help make things easy was prep ingredients. This is a mainly gluten-free cooking, but it was helpful in getting me into the mindset of taking an hour or two on a Sunday to prep ingredients that then could be thrown together for easier/faster dinners throughout the week.
I just bought Cook Once,Eat All Week - haven’t tried much out of it yet, but happy so far https://www.amazon.ca/Cook-Once-Eat-All-Week/dp/1628603437/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=. She also has a blog Fed and Fit with weekly plans

If you are looking for more ideas I recommend 50 Ways To Eat Cock. It is both incredibly amusing and has some great recipes in it!
Leangains is a <strong>specific protocol</strong>, with a website and associated book .
The approach utilizes intermittent fasting, macro cycling (carbs on lift days), and heavy compound lifts. The book is worth the $10 to get the distilled and organized version of what is otherwise a wide-ranging series of articles and online discussions.
I would recommend getting a copy of "Eat Rich, Live Long": https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Rich-Live-Long-Mastering/dp/1628602732
Paleo, Primal, Atkins, Whole30, Keto all fall under the Low-Carb, High Fat (LCHF) umbrella. And the 2 authors of this book absolutely nail it with their writing.
> Does anybody use or recommend any subscription food box type services? I’ve looked into them as I feel that would help us initially, but between the cost of those and the extra groceries we would need, it isn’t very realistic.
I really recommend learning to cook LCHF meals for yourself. You'll have better control and better success.
Anyway, good luck with Paleo. I'm sure you'll have great success with it. Just Never go back to a high-carb diet.
Give them a copy of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Rich-Live-Long-Mastering/dp/1628602732
My parents were resistant to the idea as well, but after reading the book they're both convinced that "excess carbs" are bad for them.
