    @Sajyana I am trying to eat simple. I am a foodie and love to cook, so it's hard for me! lol. And I guess I feel I need those things when I really want pasta ( I make zucchini pasta, but it just doesn't do it) or a bread for breakfast (I make some coconut flour flatbread) I just need a few more things (soy wraps and stuff) and hopefully I will be satisfied.

    BUT on another note. I guess all the whining paid off! the scale finally moved 2.5 kg.

    Thank you all for your kind words, good advice, tough love and support. It really helped me and stopped me from getting a croissant!

    I feel it. I love to cook too. Even homemade bread. I really missed baking at first. I still bake but it's mostly for the school to sell through their canteen (tuckshop for the Aussies :)). It felt so weird not to cook and bake as much. I'm trying to transfer that love of sweet baked goods to well-cooked meats. I'm getting there. Slowly. It's not always easy to break habits you've had for years.

    I've been surprised by how much I've enjoyed cooking all these different meals (and the repeated favorites we discovered). I always loved grilling, but I'm making something different every week, and my husband and I really enjoy the time together spent doing it!

    @octobubbles, I'm also enjoying cooking so much more now. It's more fun to me now than its ever been. Plus, I have the energy I need to do it!

    All sorts! IbreathI'mHungry's blog is a great resource, as is ruled.me, and the recipes posted for fat bombs here and also just with a google. Omnompaleo has a bunch of keto-friendly recipes.

    Mostly we've reduced our cooking to sauces to have over meat (hollandaise, a goat cheese cream sauce...). We make bubba burgers at least once a week and just dress them up however suits us (my husband goes for more veggies than I do). I cook before work, I cook when I get home. I roast a chicken in the crockpot every Sunday and then make bone broth from the rest.

    This weekend I want to make cracklins from chicken thighs, and serve them with cream cheese and bacon.

    All of the recipes I have cooked are posted in this group in the launch pad. Great ideas that can be modified to personal taste too.

    I keep hearing about Bubba burgers; will have to search those out! The cracklins w/ cream cheese and bacon sound so decadent---drooling!

    wut?

    No, no need --- these are just preformed burger patties that come frozen in a box. Nothing special other than the no-prep aspect of having a burger patty on hand vs. normal ground beef.

    They are nice and fatty though. My store's fresh meat is all leaner.
