You could mix some parmesan cheese with almond flour, coat the fish and bake it in the oven at 325º. The reason for baking it at a low heat is so the almond flour doesn't burn. You can mix in some herbs and seasoning that you and he enjoys to vary the flavor. Enjoy!

It depends on your body, actually. I cannot do Weight Watchers because it's too high in carbs for me. I eat low carb because it keeps my blood sugars normal without medication, as long as I also get enough exercise. It's easier for me to lose weight with a low carb food plan, which is a bonus for me. However, a lot of…

In non-scientific terms, it's because of insulin resistance, nvmomketo. Your brain thinks it needs more energy because insulin isn't metabolizing the carbs the way it's supposed to. Either you're not making enough insulin or it's not doing what it's supposed to do. So, in an effort to get that energy it's lacking, your…

Erythritol doesn't affect your body the way most sugar alcohols do. I don't count it because it doesn't raise my glucose levels or cause cravings. Stevia, in small amounts, does not affect me, either. I usually combine Swerve with a little stevia extract because Swerve doesn't have quite enough stevia in it to counteract…

A cautionary note: You cannot reverse diabetes. It's always there. If you get your glucose levels normal by eating lchf or keto, you have to keep using that food plan. If you go back to a higher carb food plan, your glucose levels will go back up. This is really important because it's all too easy to think "reversed" =…

Mine is an homage to my grandmother. I inherited my excellent palate from her. Unfortunately I didn't inherit her green thumb, but I learned about fresh food and what good food tastes like from all the food she cooked from her garden. It's mostly her fault that I pursued my hobby of cooking. I pestered the teachers at the…

It's most likely dry skin, especially if you're middle age or older. Low carb tends to make you secrete excess water. As you age the total amount of water in your body decreases, which is why old people have such a problem with dry skin. Add in the diuretic effect of a low carb diet and you very easily can end up with…

You said that you're diabetic. I am, too. And I've learned a lot about carbs and diabetes in the several years I've been following the research. I've learned that there's a huge difference between our bodies and the bodies of people who have normal metabolisms. If your glucose levels are consistently too high while eating…

You can also saute them. Saute uncovered over medium-low heat. Stir it occasionally. The excess liquid will evaporate as it cooks. It takes a while to cook it this way, but if you cook it faster, it won't dry out as much. Another thing you can do is put a kitchen towel or cheesecloth in a colander. Add the spiralized…
