@silverfiend Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

It does tend to go hand in hand with PCOS but not everyone with PCOS ends up insulin resistant. The only way to really know is to have your doctor do a fasting blood draw and test it. It is extremely difficult to sort out any actual symptoms because they are so similar to PCOS by itself (the weight issues, the acne issues,…

Let us know how it turned out and your recipe! :)

Almost makes me think we were better off before modern medicine ;) Here's hoping the supplements do the trick!

I've heard the double the fat thing but it doesn't make sense to me. If the point is to heal your body or lose weight then the calories have to matter in some way. Just as an example - 50g of protein 100g of fat and 20g or less of carbs is only going to come out to be about 1100 calories. I just can't buy into the idea…

1tbsp per cup of coffee. I use it in a lot of my egg dishes too and cream sauces for seafood.

I can completely understand where you're coming from and I'm terribly sorry it's flared up so badly for you right now. I hope the balance is figured out soon and you get to feeling better.

I love it all, savory, sweet, plain and straight out of the oven lol I really like the tortilla casserole one, will have to tweak that. Thank you for sharing!

Always glad to know someone else with this insanely weird allergy. So much fun. I can't even touch the stuff without a reaction, let alone eat it. Makes restaurants extra fun too, they love it when I question their cooking methods.

The carbs are heavy, you just have to plan for it. Small portions of the soup as a side dish or make it so that all of your carbs that day come from the soup. It's a pain but I will definitely find a way, I love it too much not to and other than the carbs pumpkin is very healthy.

@genmon00 if you make a basic roux with whatever flour you can use, butter, and unsweetened pea milk then most of the carbs will be from the beans and mushrooms (and onions if you use them)

@auntstephie321 omg...with bourbon...YES!!!

@Cadori That sounds great, I will definitely try it, thank you! @anglyn1 - I have searched and searched lol I've found some but it seems the recipes I'm most interested in don't have an almond flour version that I can find. @JessicaLCHF that sounds delicious, thank you! @tcunbeliever Awesome! Thanks! @kpk54 Yep, I've done…

A client noticed my weight loss yesterday. So rare that they are thinking of anything but themselves, this is a good one!

Aww, man, that sucks. :( I hope they come up with a solution for you soon!

Yes! I have.

So are YOU!

Way to go, @macchiatto!!!! I'm 5'8" and 135 is my happy weight too, same deal, small frame, muscle never bulks

Late! SW 248.6 - before PCOS diagnosis and starting metformin Keto SW 211 (July) CW 200.2 GW 135

Cool! I will give it a shot, thanks!

Check with the manufacturer, they have their own discount program (or, at least they did a couple years ago) so maybe other brands do the same. Restasis did nothing for me until I passed the 6mos. mark on it :(

@baconslave Has your eye doctor ever suggested tear duct implants? I don't have Sjogren's but I have enough similar symptoms that they tested me for it repeatedly. The dryness is an issue for me too. I used to have (haven't been able to afford them thanks to federal insurance changes) silicone implants put in my tear ducts…

When your kid starts asking "is (insert food here) keto?" When you eat bacon instead of popcorn at the movies When you suddenly develop the ability to "eyeball" the number of ounces of meat you're prepping and make a game out of it with your digital scale....and reward yourself with bacon... When your digital scale…

I don't know anything about the Dukan Diet but this article lost me at low carb aggravating insulin or creating insulin resistance. That's insane and already proven false. Carbs are the first thing your body turns into glucose. I'm insulin resistant, I eat Keto, my endocrinologist is thrilled that I started Keto, my…

Not a fan of raw, does roasting them change the flavor significantly?

Awesome!!!

I constantly remind myself that the "vanity effects" may be slowing down but the health benefits are still adding up. Also, that eventually there will be a day when there is a drastic difference in the numbers but that giving up now means that difference will be in the wrong direction. I hope your day improves!

I know it's still cheese but maybe changing the texture would do the trick - Parmesan Crisps http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/parmesan-crisps-recipe.html
