Any other Pinterest mega-users on here? How do you use it? I've found it makes an easy "grocery list". I make a new board every quarter to change up what I'm eating. Then I use my phone and shop from that list at the store. It works great!
I'm getting ready to make a new board for the summer quarter. Looking for other pinners. Here's my current list. Anyone else wanna share? http://pin.it/TtGB-tJ

I have a secret keto board where I pin recipes I want to try. For a while I was trying out one new recipe a week and that was fun...I need to do that again.0

I am a member on pintrest. I haven't a single clue how to use it. Not a one. I think I've been a member for around 3 years. I wouldn't know where to start, why, how, where or what to do.0

I used to love it back when I started low carb about two years ago. But more recently it's so packed full of ads that it crashes everytime I try to use it0

Ugh, that's a pain! I do hate the sponsored pins. I sure don't want to see carbs desserts while I'm looking for low carb pins! I've never had it crash tho. I'm on iPhone tho. I've "hidden" about a hundred companies tho, lol. So it's not as bad anymore.1

pinterest is pretty much where i get all my recipes LOL it's nice when you don't have anything in mind and can stumble upon something. i'll have periods of constant usage and then taper off for a couple of months... sometimes years. i've had it since mid-2012 and feel like looking at pins from that time is like seeing something new all over again! weirdly most of the links still work.3

Using the Pinterest "Search" function is a good way to get started with just about any topic under the sun. Be aware that after you select one site, "more like this" can lead you off into Pinterest Never-Never-Land, so that eventually you'll forget what your initial purpose was. And that isn't always a bad thing. That's how I found "Crock Pot Crustless Pizza" which I plan to try out this week.
Not to mention the amazing fact that Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner with Bleach is the greatest grout cleaner ever known to the human race. I have the tiled kitchen counter to prove it. Look it up.0 -

Exactly. Me too! And photos of stuff I make. I can't imagine all the recipes and ideas I'd have lost without it. We're also building a log cabin (one day!) so it's a great place to park ideas.1 -
Ps. Ok ppl! What's your URLs?!0

Pinterest is a Russian roulette for recipes. Half the time they turn out horrible. I recently tried a Keto macroon fat bomb recipe and the texture was horrid! Flavor was good though.0

All Internet and blog recipes could fit. There are a few good bloggers I pin from a lot tho and always work. I Breathe I'm Hungry, Peace Love Low Carb, and Ruled Me come to mind.0

I love Pinterest to the point I know longer need magazines. I have boards for low carb and fitness, crochet, upcycling projects that I like to pretend I'll someday attempt, and kitchen ideas. Among others. I have to be careful as its easy to get sucked down the rabbit hole.0

Here's the link. One of the ingredients is commercial pizza sauce, most of which have slightly more carbs than a Krispy Kreme doughnut. We'll have to do our research to find a good DIY version.

Hey I don't buy magazines anymore either - it's all on pinterest! And you're right, it's easy to get lost in the pinning world instead of say exercising

Plus, Pinterest allows you to rate and comment on pins now that you "Tried It". I've found that super useful. It's nice to get more than one opinion before you shell out.0

Here's mine: https://www.pinterest.com/pitbullmomliz/keto/
And there are low carb recipes on there vs keto, but it was easier for me to call it keto. ;-)1 -

Or laundry. I've literally had to drag myself away from the DIY stain removing ideas to go do laundry. Yes, I admit, its a problem.2 -

OMG! Are you serious? I'm definitely trying this....0 -
I have TONS of boards, but here is the link to the LCHF recipes from pinterest that I have actually tried and liked. I always add comments as to how I modified or want to modify the recipe for next time.... https://www.pinterest.com/kimberzim/book-of-good-lchf/1
