Some truth there, Carla! (Ok. Total truth!) My wife sources organic stone ground flour - and it's AMAZING!!

For keto, I think it would depend on how strict someone is being about it, if it's zero carb, then definitely no, if there's some carbs, it would depend on what else is being eaten.



And, how much. Theoretically, I *could* do a half of a slice - but, I know I wouldn't be able to stop there.



Yeah - guess that makes sense. If you feel good, staying fit, hitting your health goals - then it's working.

If she is losing weight and adds sour dough and still losing weight then it is okay.  Just depend on the other carbs that she adds.

My journey was a long time ago.  I felt really bad, sluggish? Went to doctor and all test were good but I still felt bad.  I did not need to lose weight.  Just felt bad.

Found a book by Dr Adkins at used book store and that changed my life.  I no longer felt bad.  I had energy!

Dr Atkins recommends doing zero carbs then adding carbs back slowly.

I feel counting carbs is better than wearing a monster  Blood sugar may not have anything to do with carbs.  I don't know ....

What are your thoughts on keeping or cutting sourdough for a keto diet? My MIL tested the impact of sourdough while wearing a continuous gluten monitor - and the proverbial needle didn't spike.

Do you have other information? Other insights on whether it's possible to keep sourdoughing while cutting carbs?

Hi all

I own the URL RocketMassHeaters.com. I've had it for a few years but didn't end up doing anything with it.  Happy to pass it on for $100. Please DM me.

Hmmm ....  

Maybe we need a graphic that shows "the average american carbon footprint" and then an american map that has a big blue zone on the colder parts and then a second footprint graphic that says "the average cold climate american carbon footprint" showing that heat is FAR bigger.  And then do the same thing but say "the average cold climate american greenhouse gasses footprint (due to methane leaks from natural gas)" and then yet another graph where the heat is with a rocket mass heater.  ??



I like this! You could also make it a simple column graph. 2 & 3 could be collapsed into column. Putting it in dollar terms as well will help reach a wider audience. I like how you expressed it in your backyard book re: whether you believe in climate change or not - this is a much more efficient use of resources.

Looks good, Paul. The only thing I saw was the phrasing of the blurb that Sonja picked up. I think you've answered the questions:
'why rmh?'
'what is an rmh?'

but think you can maybe amplify  'how can i get or build an rmh?'

Think your claim about it cutting it down on oodles of energy from yucky sources might need a line of math/ evidence to support the claim. (E.g when it comes to household electricity bills - heating is the biggest amount)
