    there's room in my macros for this almond butter-chocolate-cheesecake (almond butter, super dark chocolate and cream cheese). Yes, it is technically keto; no there is not often room in my macros for it. But it tastes so goooooooooood.

    My downfall is nuts and beer. Proper beer, real ale. I had to cut out alcohol for a while to revive my liver. When I came back to it I drank nothing through the week but would have a good session with the boys - throwing nuts down my face as if they were going out of fashion. The stressful week, or stressful situation was the excuse.
    @ivanfawcettgibson - I feel your pain. Oh, how I feel your pain.
    Yet.... there might be a win-win scenario where you could have it all:
    • Connecting with the boys;
    • Limiting carbs;
    • Limiting calories; and
    • Maximizing mouthfeel
    IF ONLY you could confine yourself to: 61OBIPOpf7L._AC_US160_.jpgRR-02734.jpgSatans-Blood.jpg

    Oh yeah, my lie is that I've followed this protocol myself without serious regrets.
    I drink red wine or whiskey these days, proper whiskey, made in Scotland and none of that blended muck! AND NO ICE, just a wee nip of water.

    OMG - that sounds fabulous! Maybe this could be an occasional treat? What proportions do you use to make this? I really shouldn't be asking...

    I'm with @Wakey618. This is not supposed to be a recipe thread but that sounds too good. @dbz9 can we have the recipe? Just for when we do have room, of course. ;)

    BIG LIE #1: "Well, it's low carb so if it's good for me then more of it will be even better."

    BIG LIE #2: "If I eat it all up then it won't be here to tempt me and I'll be able to stay on my diet better tomorrow."

    BIG LIE #3: "I way over ate yesterday and still managed to lose a pound so there will be no harm done if I indulge again today."

    I was thinking the same thing...but I'm on "no cheese" this week because I wonder if it's causing my loss to slow. Sigh....next week maybe?

    Wish I could get to a lie. My brain shuts down and i succumb to a binge- no fight, no resistance, no self talk. Then later, I feel defeated and come up with some stupid justification or useless excuse.
    Feeling big time discouraged at this moment in time, but getting Back on the horse today. Now. Whatever.
    Better get busy with a project so I don't crawl back in bed - for good!

    I can eat after dinner. Evening food is fine.... No, it doesn't affect my FBG and stall my weight loss at all. Yeah... right.

    I still tell myself this lie waaay to often.

    I soooo miss beer. I am a celiac so I had to give up barley and beer. I have found ONE beer that is acceptable - it tastes like beer - but it is still beer and full of carbs.... I haven't had a beer in over a year. Gah! My mouth is watering now!
