I make my own coleslaw with homemade mayo and HWC. It does call for sweetener, I use stevia. It has 3 net carbs for a cup. I had some tonight it is fabulous.

I wouldn't say these are my fav cookbooks. When I first came across getting grains and sugar out of my diet, it was through the "Wheat Belly" books. I was gifted both of the cookbooks that are part of WB. Then I ordered one of Maria Emmerich's books. I think I have a couple Kindle books as well. I have used a few recipes…

Thank you for all the suggestions and support. I'm keeping the course with my way of eating, I feel to good to do things any other way. My hubby will work it out for himself and what ever that is I'm there for him!

I forgot again and we had bacon wrapped cheese stuffed chicken breast. It would have been a great photo opp!!

Oh I wish! We are just starting to warm up here and it's been rainy the last couple of days. We usually can't get our garden in until around Memorial Day weekend, once there is no frost threat.

Back at you! It's quiet around our house, Easter morning, these days with our kids married and living elsewhere. So no early pitter patters of feet to see what the Easter bunny has brought! I do miss those days!

Happy Easter!! BPC is what gets me going every morning! I make mine with coconut oil, unsalted butter, a splash of either almond milk or HWC and some stevia. Then blend it up, so yummy! Enjoying a cup right now!!

I have changed up my meals since getting back to LCHF. I make a lot of meals/recipes that are filled with fats, HWC and cheese, cook in coconut oil or butter. For instance last night we had baked chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese and pepper jack cheese wrapped in bacon and asparagus sautéed in butter. He is not…

Good for you!! You are doing amazing! What do you do with chia seeds? I have some but don't know what to do with them beyond smoothies.(that I no longer make, do to HC count.)

My heart goes out to you for the loss of your mom. I can only imagine the difficult time your having. Stay the course, but go easy on yourself if you stumble.

I don't buy or bring any of the high carb items into our home, we grocery shop together he picks out what he wants. If I won't prepare somethings the way he likes he has no problem preparing somethings for himself. I will make a LC meal and he will make himself a potato or cook pasta to go with it. I just want him healthy,…

I totally get that, I said I am supportive of what ever he does towards becoming healthier when he is ready, but that is not the issue here. He does want to eat healthier and lose weight. The problem is he is eating my LCHF foods and meals right along with his own high carb foods. I am trying to make him understand that it…

In the bigger picture it does effect me, I want him around for a good long time. I see how his parents are living and having so many health issues, I don't wan that life for us. I don't even mind if he chooses a different path to get to a healthier self, but he does need to choose. My fear is It will be more harmful for…

I was entering my serving of macadamia nuts into MFP. I had a 1/4 cup measured, which is a serving according to the package. MFP a serving comes up in ounces so if I'm having a 1/4 cup it should translate to 2 oz, right? I weighed my 1/4 c serving and it weighed 1.2 oz, so that makes this all the more confusing.

Awesomeness!! Do you mind telling how much you have lost and the time frame? It always helps my motivations to hear about others great results.

Love this! I will have to remember to take a pic of my next dinner!

Welcome! Im a newbie here myself! I have followed various LCHF ways of eating over the years, but never found a great community for the support. I'm loving it here so far!

I have read and also followed Wheat Belly. In his books he talks about when you reintroduce wheat back into your system after not having had it for some time, you can have a severe reaction. Whether it be digestive, headaches, skin rash, etc. I can confirm this from personal experience. Dr Davis feels everyone has a…

It's all good thanks so much for the info!

I would hate to have to give up dairy, cheese mostly. That said there are many things I never thought I could live without pre LCHF but here I am not only still alive but feeling better than ever!

Gotcha, I was confused by the mention of Atkins. Yes I had been through the before, it wasn't nearly as severe as it was previous times. Why oh why do I not stay with what I know works? Hopefully now that I have found a supportive community I will stay the course I know works for me! Thank you all for welcoming me! I have…

Thanks for the welcome! You may have me confused with someone else, I'm not following Atkins, but thanks for the info anyway!!

Welcome! I was also just welcomed to the group!! So glad to have others who I can discuss this with. There is no one IRL that gets it, even when they see how successful it's been for me. "What? You eat high fat? How's your cholesterol? Your going to have a heart attack!"

Wowza, you are looking great!! Happy for you success. What did you do prior to keto? How does it compare to what you were doing?

I don't understand the pressure to eat either. My only guess is it make others feel less guilty about indulging. With my group of friends I get more pressure when I'm not drinking cocktails. One of my friends, who pesters me the most said to me one time " Your more fun when you drink." My reply was, "Your more fun when I…

I take a class at the gym 2x a week that we call Pump. It is mostly strength training, but with a bit of cardio mixed in. Love it!!! Then 1x a week I take a TRX class, there are straps that hang from the ceiling and you use your body weight for resistance exercises and they mix in cardio. Weather permitting I try to take a…

SW 200 4/4/17 CW 194 4/13/17 GW somewhere in the 150 range.

That's fine, I'm new to the boards and just didn't know how it worked! Thanks!

Woohoo! That is seriously awesome. I applaud you for posting your weight, I'm not there yet! I have a 30 lb weight loss goal, for starters, I may want to lose more it as I get loser to that goal.

I joined this group, does it take time to get approval? I'm not able to see any posts or discussion.
