    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    Yeah. Overall, it's pricy. Up until Sept 2023, I was following the USDA food pyramid, plus baking bread, etc. Went low carb/Keto/carnivore-ish on 1 Sept 2023. Let's keep politics and inflation out of it, but here's what happened to my annual grocery spend by cutting carbs, increasing eggs to...

    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    Marketing. The brown-shell, egg-laying hens are raised EXACTLY like the hens that produce white-shelled eggs. Brown-shelled eggs are marketed as more healthy and natural. The only difference I've been able to find concerning nutritional differences has to do with pasture-raised hens/eggs vs...

    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    Fact: In 2023, the United States had over 382 million laying hens. This was a 1% increase from the previous year. Fact: More than 20 million egg-laying chickens in the U.S. died last quarter (2024) because of bird flu. Fact: Of 35 million egg-laying hens killed by the virus last year (2024)...

    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    In CA, "free range" means the hens are not caged, are kept in a building, and have access to a penned area outside, often through a door that only one chicken at a time can fit, so most never leave the building...the perfect definition of a legal loophole by lawyers. Pasture-raised in this...

    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    Bird flu is at it again in California. 30% of egg-laying chickens had to be destroyed in the state. As a result, white-shelled egg prices at WinCo have skyrocketed ($8/dozen) from one supplier. Other suppliers that provide brown eggs, antibiotic-free/veg diet eggs, or organic pasture-raised...

    I know there's Hellmann' and Dukes but............

    I use commercial raw eggs, but not farm-to-fork raw eggs, for making mayo. Commercial eggs in the US must have their shells pasteurized, which requires them to be refrigerated. Farm-to-fork eggs are not treated that way, so there's supposedly a higher risk of bacteria transfer. I've switched to...

    Help me get some knives

    This thread took an interesting turn. Personally, I feel a knife is only as good as your ability to keep it sharp. Knives are tools, and I like having a choice of tools to use when preparing vegetables, fruit, fish, and meat. My knives cost from a few dollars each to $150 (one knife). I hand...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    Congrats to everyone on keto or thinking about it. I've got a ways to go to get to my desired weight. I'm 69, and I can only imagine how eating like this 20 years ago would have improved my life, metabolism, mental state, and fitness. Had 75/25 burgers tonight. New York strips tomorrow. Ray

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    Keith, forgive me for not offering congrats on your progress, too! Great big KUDO! I'm on my 4th day of OMAD (20-21 hr fasting window) following Thanksgiving bloat. Ballooned up to 247. Down to 244 after 3 days of OMAD. And I'm amazed how easy it is to wet fast that long and not get hungry...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    For anyone who still believes fat is bad for you, the history documentary above (available for free on YouTube) is an eye opener. Even though my wife was losing weight and welcomed the changes in me, she was so programmed that eating fat was bad that she still insisted on bread, oatmeal, and low...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    It's surprising when you hear others have had the same issues as oneself. As long as I can remember, my total cholesterol has basically been between 240-265. When I was ready to leave the Navy decades ago, I weighed 150 lbs, ran daily, lifted weights 3-5 times a week, and had a 32 inch waist...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    I agree 100%. The whole low fat, high carb, seed oil, margarine instead of butter, low cholesterol recommendations were based on fabricated science to maximize big food corporate profits. The food pyramid is total BS. All our metabolic health issues have exploded in the last 70 years, giving big...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    Thanks, Keith! I'll look up all those doctors. Great recommendation on the pemmican. Oh, and for making the Reuteri yogurt, the cheapest place I've found for organic, pasture-raised cow half/half is Costco. $5.69/half gallon in my neck of the woods, which is the price of a quart at WinCo. I...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    Update. 245 lbs. Averaging 15.5 hours per day intermittent fasting. I feel INCREDIBLE! 2 meals / day. 70% fat / 20-25% protein / 5-10% carbs from veggies. Able to lift weights and do High Intensity Interval Training on the stationary bike. I've been shopping in my closet and found jackets and...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    Yep. Carb bloat. Great description. I'm going to mentally catalog that one I've recently noticed an interesting body reaction from eating Keto / Ketovore / Carnivore. If I eat anything with carbs in the afternoon or evening, even accepted veggies, my body starts craving carbs, and I usually...

    Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet

    Next update: After Covid back in June, my weight climbed back to 252 - 254 lbs, and plateaued right there. Nothing I did got off that plateau from June to start of October. 10/02/24: weight 254 lbs. Decided to return to full keto (less than 50g net carbs daily) and Intermittant fasting (IF) of...

    Anyone else see the comet?

    From the school grass across the street from our house. It was barely visible to the naked eye. The "night" camera setting did it's magic.

    Anyone else see the comet?

    My wife took this one tonight on her phone. We've got farmland about 10 minutes from the house, so out we went. Perfect dark sky viewing. Waxing gibbous moon was a bit too bright, though. Ray

    Help me get short ribs done on time

    Personally, if there's no sugar in your rub, I'd shoot for 325°F. Why? I've done short ribs twice in the past month. 1st time: 8 short ribs. 325°F. Probe tender in 4 hours. Rested for an hour. Melt in your mouth goodness. 2nd time, just this past week. 10 ribs this time. 275°F for 4 hours...
