Best of luck

Same here. I like getting new ideas for meals. My diary is open to friends and I welcome any new friends.

Wow, fantastic!! Rock on! :smile:

Nice work and well done! Your smile at the end says it all :)

@KenSmith108 I crunched the numbers. I wish I could post a screenshot. Carbs: 383 Fiber: 42 Sugars: 74

I'm curious to know how much carbs tgis adds up to. Just a quick look at it's safe to say it would put me over my max. Way to go, Mayo

LOL @lynn_glenmont not at all. Low carb bread really does exist.

Done :)

Hi @Kelseyreyne I'm not diabetic. Just working towards lowering blood sugar so I don't end up there.

I'm doing it. Good luck!

That should be motivate. Btw, I'm not interested in pm-only chats talking about nothing. Like I said I'm looking forward to sharing, motivating, talking fitness and diet.

Well this is an eye opener. I shouldn't be surprised though. I've always thought the powers that be are out to poison us.

@RalfLott Wow, really? Why, if docs are telling patients to go low carb .

Not doing keto. That would unsustainable for me. I did read all the stickies. I will have to see when I talk to a nutritionist.

Thanks for the comment and support! Once I can confirm it doesn't spike my blood sugar levels I plan to put it on the breakfast rotation. I've never been a huge meat lover so adjusting to eating more of that and fewer carbs is a challenge.

Fat intake ranged from 50 to 110 this week so far thanks to using almond flour.

Hard to say. I just checked my logs. Sodium was slightly over the first two days since I started LC, but a lot under for the reminder of the week.

To those that asked my primary aim is to lower blood sugar. Weight loss is a secondary goal, though not a huge consideration. I started low carb 6 days ago. It's been a bumpy ride so far. Maybe the starvation feeling is my body adjusting, or maybe it is really starving for nutrients. Who knows. If oatmeal is good to go…

I'm about there too and just started cutting carbs and sugar. The main goal for me right now is lowering blood sugar and getting into an exercise routine.

@anaxmann thanks very much for that tip. Will keep it in mind when I get around to trying it. The photos I've seen don't paint the whole picture then.

@Merrysix did I read that right? 4 cups of egg beaters? Isn't that 16 eggs?

@Geocitiesuser I've been wondering about the quirks of baking with coconut flour so thanks for the tip. I'll try this and see how it works out.

@sryan921 Let me know how it tastes. I keep seeing those cloud bread recipes everywhere and I have to admit I'm curious. I may try it once but unless I inherit a chicken farm I don't see this as a long term bread replacement.

Thanks @annacole94 . Will check it out.

Try a breakfast salad http://chinnyskitchen.com/salads/breakfast-salad/

Not sure it's new, but it's new to me. Swerve sugar replacement. It's not bitter and works well for baking.

I discovered the joys of zoodles last week. I love the stuff :smiley:

I tried them for the first time last week. I had them sauteed with some sundried tomato basil pesto, and a little olive oil. It was delicious.
