Try something different to shake things up. Sometimes our bodies just get used to the routine we're in even if its a good one. IF could work or a week of carnivore? I personally would not reduce calories as that can continue to lower metabolism. There are several keto friendly YouTube videos on breaking plateaus or not…

My nephew's girlfriend noticed I'd lost weight (she last saw me in July.) Always nice to hear it's noticeable!

Yep. I'm a Ken Berry fan. Enjoy the accent too 😄

Scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and bacon leftover from restaurant breakfast yesterday I think I'll add some avocado.

My goal is to have a loss this last month of the year. Any amount accepted!

Wanna mail them to me? 🤣 Just getting into 12s.

It makes great chicken breasts (bone in and skin.) Just salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook skin side down, then turn half way through. The skin comes out super crispy and much faster than baking. About 12 min per side.

When you get the biscuits perfected, I would love the recipe!

Raw and then cook except for making mashed "potatoes" then i cook first and then puree.

Look up and make some simple fat bombs to add fat. Most people say to only worry about reaching fat% for the first few days to week (unless your goal is other than weight loss.) After you're in ketosis, the fat % is a maximum limit, not a daily goal you have to reach. The most important macro is the carb limit. You don't…

Consensus from most videos i view is that fat% goal is only important to reach ketosis. After that, eat enough fat so you dont get hungry between meals, but not hitting % fat goal means your body has to take it from your fat stores. Which is our goal after all.

NSV Had to get rid of another pair of pants that were just too baggy. Right now tho I seem to be in between sizes. My 14s are getting too big, but the 12s I try on at the store are too tight.

I am doing IF mostly for weight loss (at least at this point.) I'm trying to aim for 12-16 hours by not eating breakfast. I do enjoy my cup of tea in the morning tho with 1 T heavy cream, so this video was encouraging. I can see if I had multiple teas, that this could be self-defeating.

Also, dunno what it is, but the pre-riced cauliflower stuff that's sold frozen just always comes out bland to me. Worth grabbing, but needs a bit more seasoning that other frozen veg packs, which are usually good to go, or gtg with some butter. I agree. The frozen variety gets too mushy too when cooking. I get the raw…

Went to Chick fil a today and had 8 grilled nuggets on side salad (didn't add bell pepper topper) and half packet of avocado lime dressing. The salad came up as 2 carbs but that seems high for a small bowl of lettuce and a sprinkle if cheddar cheese.

Lillys brand has some keto friendly chocolate chips. I buy at Sprouts. Probably available elsewhere too.

I went out to dinner for 1st time for Thanksgiving. It was OK, nothing great so that was a big help with my choices. They had homemade mashed potatoes (which is usually my favorite Thanksgiving thing) but since the gravy was so meh, I just had 2 small bites. Stuck to the Turkey and green beans so my highest carb item was…

Most people for keto use under 20 carbs or 5-10% of calories. Then there are people who just look at total carbs and others (like me) who use net carbs (which is total carbs minus the fiber.) People who are just low carb, not keto, often have higher carbs.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

Yes, they do seem to all be very calorie dense. I think I may just stick to the easy mug version when I'm really just craving a proper sandwich. Most the time I'm happy without the bread.

New pant size is so much more important than a number on the scale. Congratulations, what a great achievement.

I tried this one. The recipe only made 4 small rolls. The weird thing is they didn't rise at all. So they came out about the size and shape of a homemade peanut butter cookie. I think maybe it just needed more baking powder?

Quest chips are really good for when you want crunch. Similar texture to asian rice crackers. I like the Cheese Wisps too but can only eat a few (not a bad thing!)

Love this! If keto helps metabolism it's worth it just for that!

Thanks! I like that it doesn't have so many eggs in it. Some have 6 or more eggs for a small loaf of bread. I don't have any macadamia or almond butter. I wonder how peanut butter would taste? Probably too strong a flavor. I might make it today.

With the crazy rise in obesity in America since the 1960s, it's obviously more complicated than individuals having emotional problems.
