  - on your last point, arguably prime is better than going to the store. - colin Jan 31, 16:33

  - is that fast enough? - b. Jan 31, 15:03 2
    - You certainly couldn't do any kind of googling without a bot or a really fast typing group each taking a potential answer. At least not consistently. - ralph wiggum Jan 31, 15:28 1

  - for awhile it was an issue...keto fans talk about fat bombs (snacks) I go through a lot of almonds and beef jerky I should get my own dehydrator -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 31, 14:58 1
    - and restrictive is why I couldn't live with the vegan method. I guess both methods rely on forcing the body to process the one caloric stream differ - zeitgeist Jan 31, 15:02
