That's a great book! Maybe I should finish it... 🤔 I tried Noom last year, and the psychology bits of Noom (which comprises the majority of their content and sets it apart from other programs) are almost identical to what Judith Beck says in her book. Cognitive psychology is pretty simple, too, once you get the hang of it,…

Thank you all for commenting. I appreciate the solidarity, knowing I'm not in this alone. @rmac18 thank you for adding me as well.

Thank you all! This is exactly why I came back. @DrawnToScale the accountability and support of this group is definitely helpful!!

That's amazing progress! And while traveling!?

That's fantastic!

Don't forget about cauliflower rice!

Specifically in regard to sweets, here are a few ideas: + I sometimes make chocolate peanut butter mousse out of heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, and a little peanut butter. It's fast, easy, and sweet enough for me without adding sugar (although I used to add sweetener). + Coffee can be made with cinnamon, pumpkin pie…

I do enjoy BPC, but I have an extremely difficult time staying under 1,200 or even 1,400 calories if I include it. I do find it is satisfying for a few hours, though, and when fully fat adapted have been satisfied with only BPC until dinner. My favorite adaptations include butter, coconut oil, sweetener, cinnamon, and…

Moon cheese or pepperoni crisps?

I know the sauces are generally a bad idea, but I like chicken with broccoli, curry, egg foo young, egg drop soup with lots of salt added, or lettuce wraps. I haven't had the guts to try just steamed chicken with vegetables and add my own seasonings, but I suppose steamed with soy sauce could be yummy. Even when I stay on…

I like a McDouble, no bun, no onion, extra pickles. Cheap and low carb. :)

Please tell me you're in Texas and will refer me to your doctor? :tongue:

Wait--the pumpkin spice doesn't have sugar in it? I thought I looked it up last year, but now that I think about it, that was the holiday spice, which definitely has sugar in it. I usually order an Americano with heavy cream, but sugar-free syrups sometimes bother me, so I try to avoid them. Plus I just like the taste of…

Thank you!

@Sunny_Bunny_, can you explain that chart above?

I like to make cream cheese pancakes on the weekend (8 eggs, 8 ounces cream cheese, sweetener and cinnamon) and eat them for breakfast all week.

I am blown away by how small my portion sizes are now compared to when I ate higher carb. My coworkers comment on my 1-cup food containers and how that would never be enough food to satisfy them at mealtime.

I love this recipe because it says "a bunch of pumpkin pie spice." And because it's pumpkiny and presumably creamy. Thanks so much for the idea!

I'm so glad I happened upon this... added the recipe to my Cozi menus to add to a meal plan sometime soon. :)

I like "I Breathe, I'm Hungry." I've followed her egg fast menu plan, but she has quite a few menu plans, and they are free. https://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/menu-plans-new

That's actually freaking genius for those of us who don't have time to shop for jeans! But my fear is always that I'll find the perfect pair of jeans and they'll be out of my price range. I loved when Lane Bryant started doing the different shapes--triangle, circle, and square, I think they were (do they still do that?--I…

Great movie--I saw it on Netflix, I believe, but then I wanted to show hubby and it wasn't there, so I think I streamed it on YouTube. :)

I usually eat most of the bacon before it leaves the kitchen.... :blush:

This. And a glass of red wine. I feel your pain!

I add things like butter, sour cream, olive oil, cheese, etc. to most foods. Also olives and avocados are good healthy fatty snack options. And then there's heavy cream or the coconut oil and butter in coffee trick. I also don't drain the fat when I cook. Edited to add: I usually have some fat in my coffee (either BPC…

My boss buys Zevia to fuel his Coke addiction without the sugar or artificial sweeteners. I haven't tried it, but he swears it's the best. https://zevia.com/

This is wonderful. Thanks!

This.

Crud. It's not available on the US site. Thanks anyway! :)
