Anyone else, completely plan their day in advance regarding meals, plugging everything into my fitness pal to make sure it’s all balanced in advanced? That’s what is working for me right now- helps me reduce likelihood of impulsive food decisions!

Also, if you are a coffee lover, share your low-carb, high fat coffee recipes please!

Since I have been low carb/keto for awhile I don't do high fat coffee anymore but I used to add 1-2 tbsp of coconut oil, 1 tbsp of butter and collagen powder and whip it in a blender (a frother stick would probably work too). Make sure you mix it really well of it's like an oil slick. PS if you aren't used to this much fat be sure to ease into this or you may spend a lot of time in the bathroom

I haven't been but that sounds like an awesome idea! I plan my meals at the beginning of each week anyway, might as well.

Meals all tracked for the day and stayed within my food and h20 goals! How did others do?

Also, if you are here, You should have received a friend request from me. Feel free to accept or not- totally up to you. If you didn’t get a request it was an oversight (SORRY!) or your settings wouldn’t let me send you a request. Feel free to send me one and I will accept! If we are friends, we’ll see each other’s newsfeed which could be encouraging and help us stay engaged!

I want to try Keto, but by time I get home from work (my day starts 4:30am-I get home around 6:30/7pm)making me a complete meal and then different meal for other 3 picky picky family members in household in summer heat is stressful and I fail miserably.
Any FAST/Easy ideas other than eggs -- I need to meal prep/plan, but not a lot of time to do so.
Plus Quick...standing in kitchen in 100 degree heat with no a/c for complicated meals is NOT happening. Thanks!

I really like Dr. Axe’s page- lots of good ideas for Keto meal planning. Take a look at this link...I’ll bet you’ll find some options you and your family can all enjoy. A few that sounded family friendly to me were cheesy ranch chicken, almond crusted salmon, chicken crockpot curry, bbq chicken skewers.

Also, When my kids and husband do hamburgers, I also have a burger but with lettuce instead of bread and I add extra cheese, mushrooms, bacon, etc. Same with tacos, I have taco salad and they have tacos.

I'm in! I've been eating keto for ten weeks and I'm down about 27 pounds so far. I'd love more keto friends, too, so feel free to add me (I share my food diary).

Enjoy my newest favorite... Creamy Parmesan Sauce
Makes 8 servings (Per serving: 179 calories, 17 fat, 3 carbs, 0 fiber, 5 protien)
Tastes great on almost anything. I've put it over chicken, fried cabbage, zucchini and broccoli so far.

Creamy Parmesan Sauce

2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
4 green onions (thinly sliced)
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (about 2/3 to 3/4 cup grated)
salt and pepper to taste

1. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat.
2. Saute the garlic and green onions for about 1 minute.
3. Add the cream cheese, milk, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese and heat until hot and smooth.
4. Stir in pepper and salt, to taste.

Hi, count me in, I have been doing Keto for about 2 weeks, but last week had a few off days due to vacation. Want to get back on track!

CrystalConsults · July 2018

Hi Keto Buddies, I'm in too! I've been kind of playing at keto for the last month. Lost about 4# in about 3 weeks, from cutting out processed carbs. Just starting today, I changed MFP to help me track macros. Had a real hard time getting enough calories because by end of dinner, all I could do is pretty much drink olive oil! I didn't.

Upcoming challenge, I travel a lot, and will be on the road for a week beginning this Saturday.
I welcome any ideas to eat keto on the road!
Would love to be friends with anyone interested!
Cheers :-)

I've lost about 10lbs in 3 weeks, I logged all my meals for today with the exception of desert which was a keto chia dark chocolate mousse/pudding that i made and can't figure out how to put into my food diary. Per the website i modified it from it should only be about 100cals per serving and I had a 500 cal surplus today so I think it should be fine.

I would love to have some friends who are on the Keto diet. I like to look at others people Food Diary to see what they eat that may be different from mine. Please add me!
