@Puppylynn I added u! I hope you find this type of eating to be for you. It really varies person to person but for me I was addicted to high processed carbs and sugar and so this lifestyle of eating has greatly blessed me. I find that when I abstain from these types of foods I feel better mentally and emotionally and even…

@cadori glad somebody finally caught on! Like what I did there? It's actually from a fast food commercial.

@ABeautifulDistraction how do u make Kale chips? And what is zuppa toscana?

@KnitOrMiss do you leave the pin in the egg or pierce it and leave the hole exposed while microwaving? Thanks for that tip! And all those meal ideas sound yummy.

@Sgt_Pepper33 thanks for posting this. Been feeling sort of down and definitely cheered up by you sharing what's going on in your life. Sometimes that can help so much.

My carbs have been higher this past week. But I was steady doing 20-30 everyday. Last year I was almost 45g daily solid. I was told my problem with carb cravings is not getting enough sodium so I'm gonna try upping that to curtail the carb beast. That could be your issue too. I try to find safe snacks tho inbetween meals…

@Sunny_Bunny_ ok thanks so much for showing me that! It makes sense !

@kimberlyb6682 how did u end up making your own sugar free jello? Do tell!

@kimberlyb6682 I'm pretty tiny right now. About the same weight as your mom actually, maybe a few lbs less. But I actually like being low carb for reasons other than losing weight. I feel better, my mood is good, I'm more alert, have energy to spare, and I just feel less crazy because I was addicted to carbs. I might be…

I feel like I don't see what others see when they say I'm too thin right now. I'm at my lowest weight and I often consider going lower but want to concentrate now maybe on maintaining my weight and fine tuning it in certain areas with exercise to tone. I hate how I never seem satisfied and I think that's what makes weight…

Sugar free jello is a godsend for me. It's only 10 cals and no carbs or sugar and a gram of protein and maybe 60mg sodium. It takes the edge off for me when I wanna binge .

@RalfLott can u give me a brief summary of that? I can't really watch the entire video right now but am curious what you learned.

@kirkor I didn't know I was doing keto hah. I usually eat 20-30 carbs and then eat a lot of protein. I didn't think I was getting enough fat to be considered a keto dieter. I was actually steadily doing 45g carbs for almost a year which I'm sure isn't keto.

I'll try upping my sodium. I don't think I'm near 5,000mg. Maybe 2 or 3 at best. I'll try the salt water thing. What is Mio? @ms_smartypants

@gsp90x as long as the "chuck them in vinegar" method allows me to extend their life a few extra weeks I'm happy. Is that so? I'm kinda confused by your response.

@gsp90x omg I love you! Thanks for letting me know that I can only use vinegar to preserve my hard boiled eggs for longer! I don't really want to have to go through all the trouble of boiling vinegar and then adding sugar and spices and whatnot. I know balsamic does have some carbs in it and I actually like regular…

Try Pinterest! They have a ton of low carb bread recipes!

Also I make a dessert with ricotta cheese or cottage cheese and add 1Tbsp cocoa powder and stevia and sometimes garnish it with coconut flakes, blueberries and nuts. Also for a healthy dessert they have ice cream by Halo Top that is 230-300 cals a pint and Arctic Zero has some that are the same cals and less .. around 150…

I love sugar free jello! It hits the spot inbetween meals and only 10 cals. Also I love raw celery. I sometimes eat it with mayo or ranch but on its own is great.

Hey girl. I feel u. I added you if u wanna talk about it further than on here. I actually am at a low weight right now and want to maybe consider gaining but I too get scared about gaining too much and want to remain in control. I know I went to a website that show you based on your weight and height how many calories to…

I kinda fell into the low carb diet by accident. I wasn't really happy eating as many carbs as I was and just decided to not eat as many and over time sort of preferred eating similar to a Keto diet. I don't consider myself a pure keto dieter but at times I've been pretty much along those lines. I lost about 20lbs within…

@kpk54 would I be able to get away with just soaking them in plain vinegar? I.e just throwing the boiled eggs into a vinegar filled jar?

I get like that with food too in regards to anger! @jennie5693. I am a low carb eater but sweets has always been my vice. I struggle with wanting to "sample" and "taste" forbidden foods but have found the desire for foods I used to binge on have faded. I still battle this mental issue tho with wanting to attack and dive…

@kpk54 can I omit sweetener or use a little bit of stevia? I saw that recipe too and I like the purple eggs so that would be fun to try. I wonder if tho I can get away with just using vinegar and spices ? Idk I'm about quick easy and simple sometimes but I enjoy this recipe and will give it a go!! Thanks for taking the…

@cstehansen I've never pickled eggs before and that's great for me to save the eggs I can't eat this week that are already boiled up. I've never made the pickling juice before.. what do I need to do to make it? I googled and most recipes call for sugar, pickling spice,and salt. What's the easiest method?

@PaleoInScotland that sounds yummy ! I haven't had Sriracha either and wanna try. Great idea! @mandycat223 I always have issues boiling eggs so that steamer method will come in handy. Thanks! @tcunbeliever never had wasabi mayo and have always been curious.. is it really spicy and hard to digest? @pacific904 what are…

@williams969 dude that's such a good idea! I forgot about that ! Can I use already cooked/boiled eggs tho to make scotch eggs? I have some ground beef in the freezer so I might have to get on that tomorrow!

@RalfLott mustards sounds good! A nice Dijon or stone ground mustard would be rad! Good idea. And @anglyn1 mashed is a good idea too, I'm thinking maybe instead of butter using like a soft cheese or maybe even avocado. That would be good as a dip for other things or something and still get good protein and fat without even…

I used to love just getting flavored coffee grounds and drinking that plain but there are hidden calories and carbs in those I think. I decided earlier this week to get regular coffee grounds and some vanilla butter nut extract and add a few drops to my cup in the morning. It actually tastes really good just like that…

Sugar free jello has been helping me. But I just can't seem to have self control. I try to keep myself busy but then derail myself into the kitchen despite fully intending to do other stuff
