Oh dang, I need to get one of those. Itā€™s been too long, might bike up there tomorrow for breakfast.

Never tried olive. Iā€™m intrigued though.

Now I want a bagel.

Sometimes parodies are uncomfortably close.

due to your post, I got an everything bagel, with half sundried tomato cream cheese and half herb everything cream cheese. I thought I was iffy about the herb everything cream cheese in the past, but this time, the herb everything cream cheese was amazing and the sundried tomato cream cheese was uninspiring.

Iā€™m recently back on low carb and this bagel convo is not helping.

I ate 2 bagels today.

that sounds disgusting.

Theyā€™re actually not. At least not the ones I make. Theyā€™re mostly made out of cheese. They donā€™t help me lose weight, though, so I donā€™t make them too often.

well, a bagel shaped hunk of cheese sounds good. sounds pointless though if they donā€™t help you lose weight if thatā€™s the entire point of keto.

Nah, keto isnā€™t only a weight loss diet. Plenty of people do keto and maintain their weight or even gain weight. You still have to eat fewer calories than your body uses to lose weight, and not eating carbs doesnā€™t guarantee that will happen.

:confused: what else is the point of keto beyond weight-loss?

Controlling insulin levels, improving energy, controlling seizures, helping reduce acne, better sleep, general health improvements like blood pressure, heart health, some people think it helps with PCOS and some cancers. I donā€™t get blood sugar crashes or cravings on it which is why Iā€™ve been sticking with it for as long as I have.

I donā€™t think I could maintain keto without losing weight. If I were 20 lbs under my goal weight, and exercised like I normally do, my baseline keto diet would see me losing weight. I canā€™t seem to eat more than ~1600 calories a day because everything is so high protein.

I think I could do it. Bacon cheeseburgers, lots of wings, cheesecake made with sugar alcohols, steak with bearnaise, fathead breadā€¦I would feel horrible, but I gain weight when I eat more than 1200-1500 calories, so yeah. It would be easy for me.

I am on the keto subreddit occasionally and I come across threads often of people who are on keto, not tracking calories, wondering why they arenā€™t losing weight. Low carb makes it super easy for me to restrict my calories but itā€™s not inherently a weight loss diet for me, either.

The new Google Doodle game is pretty addicting - a lot more to it than the usual Google Doodle (at least as far as I can recall).

Iā€™m constantly looking on streeteasy.com for potential apartments for my sister to buy right now. based on her criteria, this building has overflooded my search right now. like, ummmm, why would ANYONE buy any of these? iā€™m perplexed. itā€™s a hotel, so i assume thatā€™s why the monthly fees are astronomical. so even for a normal hotel without the trump name, iā€™d question buying something like this. with the trump name, it seems like an entirely doomed investment.

I also wasnā€™t aware that hotels sold individual rooms to people. is that a thing? or is it just a trump thing?

ITA. It reminds me of the games I had access to as a child . . . at my friendsā€™ house.
