Bacon. And Old Bay seasoning. Keto'er here :) Usually under 30g carbs a day

Basically he recommended low carb to you. Maybe Low carb, high fat, moderate protien. Something like keto. Tons of people report lowered a1c levels, lowered cholesterol, etc.

Nope. The first little bit of doing a low carb diet, your electrolytes are out of wack. I do a low carb diet called keto and we call this the keto flu. Its a similar concept, we immediately start at 20g carbs. What you need to concentrate on is sodium, potassium, and magnesium. There is a pretty good write up here :…

I like therir bacon and happens to be cheaper than my grocery store most of the time. I get their flat breads, they are identical to Flat Out but cheaper. I've also been pleasantly surprised that their meat is good quality. I bought steak (ribeye) recently and it was fantastic. $9.69 a pound which is pretty awesome.…

Says who?

Mio Fit which has potassium and sodium. I also use something called Lyte Show (I bought it on amazon) and that has sodium, potassium, and magnesium. I usually mix the two. Lyte Show tastes salty but when I mix it with the mio its similar to a powerade or gatorade, but better imo. I like to do it this way vs drinking say a…

Whut. Fat isn't bad for you. Neither is sodium unless your doc has said to cut it. There is such a minimal amount of difference in the sodium.

Cheese, nuts, tofu, quinoa, wheat germ, protein powders

Flackers. Crackers that you make out of flax seeds. Lots of recipes out there.

I do keto so I generally exclude alot of carbs. I generally try to get my carbs from certain veggies, fruits, nuts, and low carb wraps/tortillas.

Hey this looks pretty good! I may give this a go next week. I would probably need to tweak it a bit for myself (keto/low carber) as I haven't found a chocolate chip that is low enough in carbs for preferences.

My co workers are pretty supportive. I mean I don't expect them to not bring in treats or order pizza. They will offer as a kind gesture but I usually decline and say no carbs for me today! But I get it....it's tough being around pizza and donuts lol. The best you can do is have low/no carb snacks ready to go. I have some…

There are lots of different fat bomb recipes out there.

YES! I also like to take just a bit of butter in a pan, slice tomatoes in half, and cook them cut side down. Medium low sort of heat. Just so the outside carmerlizes & the inside starts to get soft. I could just eat them with a bit of salt or they go great with eggs.

You could try adding a bit more fat to his diet such as olive oil or coconut oil. They are fairly easy to hide if taste is an issue.

Depends on what works for you. I eat twice and end up intermittent fasting around 12-15 hours a day.

always love new friends!! 33f 100+ to loose, down 45+. Also a low carber, if that interests anyone :smile:

Incidentally, I wonder it this will work to get past a food craving. Eat it until you hate it, lol.

Mio + sparkling water = soda I prefer mio fit for the electrolytes

I think you aren't understanding that sugar is not healthier than artificial sweeteners. I can agree to everything in moderation but sugar has its own negative affects on your body. The answer here is eat real food as much as possible.

If you want to loose weight, yes you must count calories on Keto. No matter what diet you are on, the simple principle of burning more calories than you eat is what makes you loose weight. Various diets exist because everyone has their own way of being happy while loosing weight. On keto, you aim to stay under a carb goal,…

Lite Salt is half salt half potassium. My go to choice.

New to a low carb diet = presence of ketones in your body being produced and turned into acetone which can absolutely smell like alcohol. It eventually goes away. They are not actually intoxicated.

+1 on the Dymatize

There is no such thing as weight loss shake. Its a marketing scam. People hear the phrase and think it has some weight to it. It does not. Weight loss occurs when you are in a calorie deficit. That's it. A shake does not put you into a calorie deficit. Really not sure why anyone would be excited to add more sugar into…

There is a product called lite-salt, it is half sodium half potassium. Tastes like salt. I put it on a lot of stuff & it helps

Best $30 I've spent in a while. I love zoodles.

Keto going on 3 months! Almost 40 pounds gone. Very happy eating this way!

I heard they were wonderful. I spit it out, first bite. It was beyond terrible.
