    I'm doing fine, but my appetite returned with a vengeance. I'm wondering if the "low carb" tortillas I had earlier this week kicked me out of ketosis.

    I had to stop using those because they seemed to correspond to increased hunger for me too. I don't though no they actually stopped ketosis but the wheat in them is just something I need to avoid. Hunger control can still be achieved without being in ketosis. It's more about what stimulates hunger hormones or mental cravings.

    I started my day with BPC and a couple of slices of bacon today and I feel great. I didn't like coffee before but when you add butter, hwc and coconut oil it tastes great. I'll be full for hours and have a nice 'kick' from the caffeine.

    Last night I cooked up some chicken sausages in bacon fat then pulled them out of the pan and put my steamed green beans in the pan, added a tbsp of salted butter and tossed them for a minute or two. Hubby raved about how good the beans were. Any time I can add bacon fat or butter to something I am happy.

    Parm Crisps by Kitchen Table Bakers. Found these yesterday at Sam's Club: made entirely from Parmesan cheese, 18 grams of crisps = less than 1 gram carb (take that for what it's worth), 9 grams protein, GST free, gluten free, antiobiotic free.

    http://www.kitchentablebakers.com/

    I make my own parmesan cheese crisps in the oven. Freshly made they're better than these commercial crisps but they don't stay "crisp" for every long. Recently I made them for company four hours in advance to go with a salad and by dinner time they were somewhat rubbery. They're also finicky to make, going from done to incinerated in about 30 seconds.

    At $9.72 for a 9.50 ounce package (less $2 on special) Parm Crisps are not going to be a pantry staple but they make a nice change, especially when you're longing for something with a crunch factor to it and you've already exceeded your yearly allowance of nuts.

    Prior to starting Keto, about 3 nights a week my boyfriend and I would go to the ice cream shop that he lives above. This became one of our favorite things to do. We would get our double scoop waffle cones and watch all of the people walking along south Broadway in Denver.

    Obviously we had to find an alternative to this as double scoop waffle cones are not an option for me. So last night we decided to try out this tea place around the corner. And it was awesome! I had the lemon lavender loose leaf tea in a kettle. It was so relaxing! And instead of just sitting and people watching, we decided to jump on the Pokemon train and ended up walking 2 miles. Definitely much better than our double scoop nights! And it was cheaper too!

    What are some of your new favorite things/rituals now that you are doing this WOE?

    I don't have any new favorite things or rituals but I just found this thread and have to say "Thank You!"
