chicken/turkey soup ideas?
I have some leftover turkey and want to make low-carb soup with it (kiramaniac had a great recipe for chicken salad so I'll make some of that too) For the soup I'll sauté some onions and celery (in bacon fat), maybe add a little bit of tomatoes and finish with heavy cream. Any ideas for other vegetables/ingredients to add?…

Question about meds?
Went to the doctors today, and was prescribed myloxicam, and flexeril. Do I need to log them on my food diary? They also are running a full blood panel, so I hope it comes back with better cholesterol readings than last time.

Keto and Exercise
Need some advice on this subject. I have seen mixed things about Keto and exercise, so was hoping I could get pointed in the right direction.

Feeling depressed - Day 5
Hi guys I've been back on my Keto diet for 5 days now, and today I just feel horrible depressed and down.

Trapped in a glass case of emotion! ;)
I'm trying to figure out if my sudden propensity for tears has any correlation with keto, and if it does, what I can do to chill things out. It could absolutely just be a coincidence. I have a lot of stress right now and my mom is about to turn 60 in a couple weeks - that just feels far too old for my mommy! :p But I…

"Special Foods" for keto/LCHF
So in pouring over recipes on the internet for days, I keep seeing almond flour, coconut flour, coconut oil, flaxseed and chia seeds and meals. How important are these things in your daily eating?

Do you pre-plan your food?
I do. I have to. Not only for the family budget but because I like to know what my macros Need to be at the end of the day. So each week I plan out my menu, get the groceries and usually log the day before or a couple of days in advance so I know where I have room to play. If I don't plan I am usually way off on stuff.
