You put that in words so well. That is how I've always felt but could never describe. Thanks.

^^^ This.

IMO this group is magic!

@Panda_Poptarts Have only tried the ones I had on hand ... constant comment, spearmint, black breakfast, red zinger. But your chai sounds like a total winner! I had totally forgotten about that and love creamy chai tea. THANKS for reminding me.

Another good reason NOT to watch TV ... it stresses you out and interferes with weight loss ... :D

Thanks ... will start slowly.

@hakamruth for the BPB I use 2 tsp of beef bouillon powder in 12 oz. water and add 1 tbsp. butter and 1 tbsp HWC and whip it with my mini hand mixer. yummy. I have MCT oil on order and will be adding 1 tbsp when it arrives. Super rich, super good. ETA: I prefer my chicken bouillon with only 1 tbsp butter added.

I've been so envious of those who have raved about BPC ... I can't drink coffee, didn't care for the BPT but yesterday made BPBouillon AND IT'S TERRIFIC! My new morning drink ... and it lasts forever.

You'd weigh ####". EVERY DAY for the last 9 weeks mine has been on it's own roller coaster somewhere…

@Panda_Poptarts it made perfect sense to me ... perfect plan and great outlook.

Wonderful changes! Love the way you say " lost one roll ... 2 to go" That's exactly where I am.. Wish I'd taken pics.

Congrats! Hoping for numbers that good at the end of March when I go in for my lab work.

Maybe if you tried some "keto appropriate" appetizers (read.. party food) your next experience at having a party will be more successful. Just don't have the pretzels, hot tamales and fries there to eat.

@Sunny_Bunny_ You have SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE! Have you ever thought of writing or teaching?

OMG ... @Dragonwolf that is the BEST explanation I have ever read "regarding fat intake ... etc". Thank you, Wish I had a printer to be able to pass it out to others.

Congrats! I LOVE hearing about other people meeting their challenges and closing in on their goals.

For ANY craving I eat bacon ... works for me. LOL YMMV

@PaleolnScotland Yeah! for both of you. Life is full of good surprises.

I drink at least 32 oz. of iced tea and 12 oz. of hot tea daily. Haven't been out of ketosis since mid December when I started. I think there is some other reason your source got 'kicked out of ketosis'. Hope this helps you. ETA: For the amount of bullet proof coffee that others on this forum consume, I would think…

I'm sorry, maybe I'm not understanding the question. Every tea I've entered in my diary has no carbs. Red zinger, constant comment, peppermint, etc. I can't imagine any tea (other than sweetened ) that is not keto friendly. Or were you wanting a bullet proof tea recipe?

Thanks @macchiatto ... I think my body is so surprised that I'm taking care of it after 70 yrs of abuse that it's rewarding me ... ;)

@macchiatto I feel so badly for you. It's a shame that red tape with an insurance company has been able to affect your health. Hopefully your tolerance will reassert itself quickly. We're all wishing you well. FEB 13 SW: 247 (12/12, started keto) SW: 219.8 (Feb 1) CW: 214.2 GW for February: 215 GW for 12/31: 180 Calories…

4 shots is probably 2 shots past my "using a computer" stage. LOL.

11.6 loss yesterday seemed too good to be true ... and it was. 11.4 came back today ... lying scale. Still better than all of it coming back AND it's a new low for me. Gotta look at the bright side.
