The phrase I love, not sure who said it first, is: "While you're doing arithmetic, your body is doing calculus." If you don't see the number on the scale drop, those other NSVs (Non-scale victories) are happening. Your internal organs are being repaired. Your joints are being re-padded and lubricated. Maybe you're fighting…

I find xylitol + stevia work to create the most 'sugar-like' experience for me. But in general I try to avoid ASes as they tend to either make me bloat or increase cravings.

I love it. I can add them on my browser from work, check ingredients through the app on my phone at the grocery store, and put the iPad on its stand in the kitchen while I cook. So convenient! The "Add this recipe to PepperPlate" button for the browser is a little hit and miss (has a lot to do with how people format their…

Cauliflower just roasted also works, and it's less of a clean-up.

When you go out, you can have green above-ground veggies as a safe bet. Ask the waiter for extra butter. (Then make sure you always eat out at that restaurant at that waiter's tables, so they can watch you drop pounds and keep ordering extra butter!) I love to google for Keto recipes. But I have learned to be wary of a lot…

I would honestly try cutting out the artificial sweeteners for a week and see what happens. The chemicals they're made of always make me retain water. I don't know much about how long you've been doing this or if you have any medical conditions, or lifestyle restrictions on how much cooking you can do, but it seems like…

Emphasis mine. Everyone read this! Don't have the first bite, and the other thousands can't follow!

Just had lunch with a friend I haven't seen since December who commented that I look so different! <3

I'll report on today come tomorrow, once everything's locked in. But... Holy Bacon, you guys. Do you see what is happening with my weight? I dropped over four pounds last week by cutting out dairy. My calories were UP, and that only caught up with me today with a zero change. Normally 141.4 would TOTALLY be a dehydrated…

Salt, fat (seriously, FAT, you will NOT make it if you're going to try Low Carb Low Fat. That's a death sentence.). So, ahem, salt, fat, sodium, potassium, hydration. The keys to success! You should feel your mood improve when you get through the adjustment wallop to your system.

From what I've seen of people's stories about the amazing health recoveries they attribute to LCHF eating, the way you eat is FAR from meaningless. The vanity aspect is a side effect. The inside of your body needs you to keep it up as much as your friend needs your help! Hugs to you both!

Can you tell your husband you had big cobb salads for the meals he didn't see you eat each day? :D

Even when I thought I ate healthy, I could never pass on the chicken skin! And if there were leftovers we always ate the skin before packing them up, since it never crisped the same way after refrigeration! ;)

I avoid vegetables as a general rule. If the meat sources are fed well, I don't need them. (I consider the digestive tract of my meat's source to be the only acceptable food processing method.) My upper limit is 30g of carbs. I am NOT a happy camper beyond that. Ideally, I aim for 0 - 10 TOTAL per day. This is where I see…

I consider fat the free food, but if you're starving pairing it with a bit of protein will help with satiety.

I would LOVE to eat bugs if they were readily available in my area and the quality was assured! (says the girl who eats pork even though she can't find pastured pigs anywhere...)

I find the best prices for Zevia are at Shop Rite. Target is second, with occasional mark downs. Third is Stop and Shop, where a six pack is normally $7 but with some regularity goes to 2/$7. Of course everything but Target is probably a regional chain so mileage will vary. I haven't found any pricing online that makes it…

Don't forget the serving size on those bars is usually a quarter to half the bar. I nip a single square every now and then as a stress relief. It's not for when you're actually hungry, just as a mental break. :)

Oh man I used to eat my egg and cheese on a hard roll every morning, with an icee and two chocolate chip cookies. Mmmm. BLECH.

Heavy cream! Zevia soda! Organic Cream cheese! And of course, Rib eye!

I started eating Keto in March, and the only time I started to feel sick (knock on wood!) was when my husband came home from a visit with his family with Strep, a sinus infection, and a fever. I started to feel sick but instead of it turning into my annual sinus infection, it cleared up in a few days. I will be getting a…

We really enjoyed this one! Made it twice in one month (two birthdays)! https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=2159564 And we got this spring-form pan on Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NKUA64C Do we have a week 2 thread yet? I haven't been able to spot it.

The xylitol in the macaroons (I'm assuming that was the issue) made me SO sick. I will be avoiding the sweet-replacements in the future, and try to use just stevia where I can (there's the pumpkin cheesecake I wanted to serve at thanksgiving). I could also have just had an upset stomach from dehydration, too much coffee,…

We go to a local bagel place and ask for their sausage egg and cheese with an extra egg and no bagel.
