I have made this (original recipe with great northern beans) for chili cook-offs and won first place for a non-tomato based chili. This *kitten* is da bomb! So I adapted it to Low carb using Black Soy beans instead. Here it is- about 30 net carbs (approx.) for the whole 1/2 gallon pot. = 3ish net carbs per bowl. Creamy…

oh my.. I may have to make Madison our next trip destination for a family weekend. Only about 2-3 hours from Green Bay!

@retirehappy my HWC has twice the carbs than my half & half does... (Isnt half & half kinda just HWC with half water? lol)

thanks everyone, I will check out Woodman's for this next time I stop! And I looked at my Lg jug of granulated Garlic and it had 0 carbs.. serving sie 1/4 tsp. well.. who only puts in that much? I should have stated though, when I use a Tbsp size, its cuz I bulk cook for a family of 5, and I want leftovers to make it worth…

I had been on this LC diet before, and lost the 30 lbs that I then regained when I returned to my love affair with pretzel sticks. back at it since last sunday (1/15) and down 11 lbs.

check out the FaceBook group "Keto for Badass Babes" its a huge group, highly active and this topic I have seen come up multiple times as well as PCOS and hormone changes. Just do a search once you are in there. Its is VERY typical. FYI, the group refers to the cycle as "Shark week"

this group doesn't seem too active anymore. if you haven't joined yet, check out Options Low Carber Daily Forum....The LCD Group

thanks, I changed my message to be net carbs. Google said 7 and I wasn't paying attention. This made a huge batch of Queso, I think roughly 5 cups. So I ended up putting it in 1/2 cup portions for my food diary, im guessing I ate about that with pork rinds. Its not too bad then, diving it by 10. - roughly 4 carbs for my…

I have a PDF version of the "Taking out the Carbage" cookbook I purchased, and its on my Google drive. It's a huge book. Here is the shareable link, if anyone wants to see it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-8n3Ocvp4WEdVh3aGxIaThId3c/view?usp=sharing

ok. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. it was .. ok. so me & Hubby look at each other and say,.. how bout we throw this into a low carb wrap? MUCH better! I only needed 1 of them and I was stuffed.

I have the "Taking out the Carbage" cookbook on my google drive. IF you want a copy, I can share the link with you. its HUGE.

sorry baconslave. I referred to the CICO forums as Crazy people. I will refrain in the future. :)

thanks! I'm willing to be anyone's friend in THIS group (not those crazy CICO people on the main forum) I'm active every weekday (at work) and hope that having others looking will keep me going with my food diary and tracking! Feel free to Add me, if you would like! :) I Promise, I Will be around for a while.

if you want a gluten free option, google "Cloud Bread". its a fantastic substitute for egg sandwiches and things. Otherwise Sara Lee 45 is a low calorie bread, and also Healthy life makes a few different versions- low sugar, high fiber, low calorie, and they are all about half the net carbs too. *Side note* its a simple…

ok! I didn't know all of those features existed since I didn't have any friends on here. Its nice that its on the home screen to see updates from them.

The Bachelor! and the Bachelorette! Seriously, who watches that crap?

Set up my Total Gym last night. Went through every exercise with my teenager. It was a lot of fun, since some of them I struggled to do and she was like.. MOM! this is SUPER easy! brat... but It was good to work out, I haven't in .. years. (Besides team sports like volleyball club)Although afterwards I felt like a limp…

I agree! Well, their Raspberry Vinaigrette is decent... but have you tried their BBQ "sauce" (aka water) is sooo gross. Personally. I bought this Guy's award-winning Sugar Free BBQ online and it was the BEST one yet. I'm a sucker for bbq basted chicken on the grill. or ribs. or pork. lol.…

OMG thank you! This is a great idea for that cracker dip with cream cheese, cocktail sauce & shrimp. Oh, and by "crackers" I meant either Pork Rinds or FatHead cheese crackers.

I'm on board! had success with Lazy Keto in 2016 and got down to rough goal weight and then decided to forget all that I knew. *2008 RNY-er with 130lbs lost- but a regain of 30 lbs. (which may not seem like a lot, but it's ALL in my midsection I swear!) So back again I go, going to make a lifestyle change to keep it off…

Today I'm pretty pumped. MY Total Gym is getting delivered! Woot Woot! Time to Tone & shape up while I shake off this remaining 20.. ok 30 lbs. Today is day#3 with LC, lost 5.2lbs.

I typically cook a bunch of stuff on the weekends, maybe have a few easier things to grill during the week and then I try to do leftovers at work! Otherwise, string cheese, hard boiled eggs, broccoli/Cauliflower & ranch.

the cough of the devil blew through my house earlier this winter, kids coughing so hard they were throwing up. God, I love being a mother. Only thing that worked for me was a sip of blackberry brandy before laying down, otherwise I was coughing fits all night. (ok, I was more like a chug)

Starting Weight 1/15: 207 Current Weight 1/18: 201.8 Lbs lost: 5.2 Goal weight: umm... 170/175 (post RNY'er here so end weight is flexible)

hm, interesting combination, I wonder if that would be good?

It gets better.. give it a week or two and once you are in ketosis, it will all get warm & fuzzy.. indulge with Sugar Free jello cups with massive amounts of redi-whip extra creamy.. and steaks with globs of butter... mmmmm Keto-on!

that is because they are "walking around"

google the Fascia Blaster. I don't have one, but am seriously considering getting one.. the before & after pics are interesting, plus I read a scientific study (Yes, a real one, published in a medical journal) about Fascia and the effect it has on creating the unpleasant lumpy cellulite look. Also watched a bunch of videos…

confession: I often want more in the bedroom than my husband is interested in giving, or doing as often. :( sometimes I wish I was in my young 20s again and slutting around. J/k! kinda.

going to try the egg roll in a bowl recipe this week sometime. people keep raving about it~ http://ketogasm.com/
