@KnitOrMiss the belly shots, as well as other puddings I have made are usually quite thick. Almost gelatinous... which could easily be changed by reducing chia or increasing liquid. The coffee chia I linked above is almost TOO thick for me (using HWC), but I struggle with the consistency of any pudding even though I enjoy…

I haven't made many, but here is what I have.... Coffee Chia Pudding: https://nutritionistmeetschef.com/coffee-chia-pudding/ I used a few drops of English Toffee Stevia instead of syrup and substituted heavy cream for the milk. Next time, I would use less cream, more coffee. Really basic:…

Okay... I have to go read this article... we use Borax to kill ants. I'm equating it to drinking bleach and that just can't be right lol

A friend of mine that didn't like logging or cooking did this to keep things simple when she went keto... She spent the first few days agonizing but then meticulously building recipes in MFP, food prepping, measuring and freezing. She would prep/freeze fresh entree(s) every few weeks, but she was able to basically eat the…

I did not find a change or lack of energy in my workouts when I reduced my carbs to 10%, past the original adjustment the first few weeks.

I no longer officially classify myself as "keto" and technically my goal is not to reach ketosis or lose a large quantity of weight. I too found myself obsessing and stressing over numbers when my macros were set for keto at 5% carbs usually because I love eating a wide variety of foods. I would also play ridiculous mind…

Sorry you are experiencing such ongoing issues that keto hasn't been helping with. Many people who were previously "very regular" get quite concerned when the stop going as often and think they are constipated when they aren't! I have my fingers crossed for you that ZC literally produces some results!! That type of…

Basics are definitely where it is at and I need all the accountability I can get these days! I purposefully did not make resolutions as all of my focus needs to be dedicated on improving all the positives that I already know make feel better. Why does it seem so hard to stick with even simple things that have such profound…

Are you actually constipated or just eliminating less waste less frequently? Constipation is the discomfort of having full bowels and being unable to eliminate without difficulty.... Keto, and most especially carnivores, typically produce much less waste and therefore actually don't "need" to go nearly as often. If you…

Just listened to a podcast featuring Dr Shawn Baker (nequalsmany.com). He is getting some intriguing results!! Quite enjoyed his no nonsense delivery of the information too! Averaging 4 to 6 pounds of steak or burger a day!!

Frozen fruit, especially berries, may be more economical where you are and still carry nutritional value if that is what you are seeking.

I was "skimpy" with mine compared to some: 1 tbsp each of heavy cream, coconut oil and butter, in approximately 10-12 ounces of coffee. I typically drink my coffee black, so having a BPC was decadently delicious (sometimes I would add cinnamon or pumpkin spice and I just got an English Toffee flavored stevia for a treat!).…

Www.bodybuilding.com is full of free programs geared to lose fat, build muscle or transform. Erin Stern's 4 week fitness trainer doesn't require a large variety of equipment (my work gym is pretty limited too). I really like it!!

I fell to the wayside posting in October's challenge, so I definitely need to give this another go! November goals are to hit my carbs, calories, 5 hours or more of sleep and in recognition of winter, I also need to focus on my activity (10k steps and/or gym/yoga) and supplements.

Our city road trip this past Saturday culminated in a pitstop at Starbucks for dessert on the way home (I was all black coffee'd out from the day!). It wasn't busy and I had a chance to chat with the barista about some different options. Sugar-free syrups are slim-pickings during the non-Christmas season. I decided to mix…
