What happens if you have more than 4 ounces of cheese?

[synthetic]

I went shopping today and bought butter and cheese because all i eat is tuna and chop meat and eggs for my protein sources and I didn't think I was not getting enough fat.

I was EXTREMELY hungry today and I don't know why. I had like 10 eggs, chop meat, butter, 1 cup salad and flax seeds and was still hungry afer all of thaT!

I opened the white cheddar cheese and ended up having all 10 ounces, which is the WHOLE package of cheese.

This is my third week on induction. I know I have NOT even lost 10 pounds yet on induction so I wanted to continue.

What happens to the body when you end up having 10 ounces of cheese and your carb count is like 30?

I don't understand why I was so hungry today when the past days my appetite was suppressed.

if you were hungry then other then cheating you should be fine as far as your ketosis goes.

some days we are hunger and will eat more food then other days. some days we have to use that 6 hr rule and just have a snack cause we are not hungry. Just keep feeding your hunger with legal foods and you should be okay.

you might be a little constipated from all the cheese.

Where's the rest of the vegetables?

Did you grind the flax seeds?

Re: What happens if you have more than 4 ounces of cheese?

Nope I didn't have any veggies. I just had 1 cup of salad. In fact, I have not been eating veggies every single day, although I will have a salad. Is that why I might be ravenous alot today because i haven't had veggies?

I never grind the flaxseed. I don't have a grinder and I can't afford to by one as I am not employed at the mo.

The supermarket never has grinded flaxseed either..

why grind??

Your body can't use unground flax seed - you might as well eat sand.

With all of that cheese & no fibre, you are likely to be constipated - I know I would be.

You need to GRIND it ... generally with something with a motor.

I've heard of people using a clean coffee grinder.

A blender could work ... though it takes a while.

This is why people buy it already ground!

>>you mean I am not getting any fiber with unground flax seed?>>

You're getting nothing.

It goes in your mouth and comes out ... without doing anything for you. Money wasted.

>>I didn't have any veggies. I just had 1 cup of salad. In fact, I have not been eating veggies every single day,>>

Then you're not doing Atkins.

I am so glad you guys told me this! The most convienient place to get food from me is fairway market up the block since I don't have a car and all they have is regular flax seeds. damn.

how much is a coffee grinder about?

Re: What happens if you have more than 4 ounces of cheese?

actually it will act as fiber in your gut and unless you chewed it up well will come out as seeds. You are not getting the healthy oils out when you don't crack the seeds before you consume it.

Yes you can grind it yourself. if you have a mortar and pestel you could hand grind them. you can cut the seeds with a knife on a chopping board or you could use hammer and smash then or a heavy frying pan. all you need do is fracture the outer coating.

You can even pop them like popcorn in a pan with a lid and some healthy oil. they will mave very little crunchy pops.

Don't know.

Don't know where you live ... so don't know what stores are by you.

You should be able to get one for less than $20.

As to 2Big's idea of using a knife ... I can't imagine how that works ... the seeds are very tiny, as you know ... and I can't imagine actually cutting through one. Stranger things are done though!

And one would need a lot of upper body strength to use a mortar and pestle.

Re: What happens if you have more than 4 ounces of cheese?

Next time you go shopping ... don't buy any cheese. Buy vegetables!

Re: What happens if you have more than 4 ounces of cheese?

WOW... great idea! a hammer! I just can't afford to even get a grinder!

You can pop them like popcorn? really?
Oh so, they actually are registering as fiber in your gut even though they are not opened then?

great idea. I'll put them in a plastic ziplock outside on the concerete and mash them with a hammer..

I am glad you told me this

My understanding is that they pass right through you ... they can't be digested by humans.

If that's true, then no, they're not registering as fiber.

you just posted the the FDA definition of fiber. Anything labeled as fiber must go in your mouth and come out the other end undigest.

What folk miss eatting the seeds whole is the oils they contain and the the other vits and minerals

Thanks for clarifying - I didn't know that
