The "Eat More (or Moar) Fat" January Challenge page 160

Okay Gang, we need to vote...

Jenn says that I can change the name of this thread to reflect that we are continuing beyond January.

Do We:

1) Keep going with this thread
2) Open a new thread with a link to this one in the first post. This would not be February thread, but a "challenge continues" thread.

My suggestion would be a new thread detailing how the EMF works, links to the source materials, and a place to put daily meal plans and answer questions. Then a seperate journal thread "The EMF Journey" or some such, where those participating could go for encouragement, to celebrate, to whine, to whatever. This allows new folks an easy way to find the information and gives the more experienced folks a place to hang out. That or I would put together a consolidation of 'information' in the first post of the new journal (or link to it in this one) - macro %, where to figure BMR, link to Dr. Attia etc. People looking for information wont care that on day 3 I ate a brownie and fell out of ketosis. They want to know how much fat to eat.

Of course, two seperate posts might be too much of a pita, so perhaps linking to one post of all the main info would work best. Just a thought

I think these are great ideas

I survived the start up of the Russian Circus. Yep, it's here and will be a stellar show.

I'm going with canio's suggestion.

New people are not going to want to read 100+ pages, they'll start at the end and miss out on vital information.

sounds like a PITA, but I have to agree with Canio.

it could be. But a new thread with all the links in the first post sounds easy enough. Then when new folks show up you could just say, "Welcome! Don't forget to read the links in the first post"

Okay, I am pre writing the first post of the new thread as a word document.
Please give me your suggestions for links and important info that should be in this opening post. It will go live on Feb 1st. I think maybe we should make our January concluding reports in this thread on 2/1 and then move to the new one. I also plan to put my Jan report in my first post on the new thread.

Heh. I'm diving in head first into this madness, starting yesterday at dinner. I definitely need to pick up some HWC and some other easy fats.

I wanted to binge so bad last night.. a pity binge because my chest is tight with something and my inhalers are just not kicking it. I got some DM to take but I still feel like bad bacon! The cough is painful. I did not binge though. I drank a cup of yogi sleeptime tea and cough medicine with codeine and went to bed.

I went over on my macros a little. Carbs are high, which is weird.
