  • If you can, try checking out a restaurant supply store (we have Cash and Carry here), a lot of times, the meat is overall cheaper (although, you should note you'll buy a LOT of it) and veggies are ALWAYS on the cheap. Yeah, you'll make an investment when you first purchase everything, but you'll fill your freezer and…
  • All of these sound amazing! Can you tell me where to find the slow cooker Jalapeno Chicken recipe you use? This is a great list! I'm a meal prepper (normally just recipe components, not full meals), but I'm looking to move into the full meal preps, especially during the holiday season to just make life easier.
  • I have definitely been eating more salt this week - I'm not much of a salt person, so the 2 teaspoons a day I've been using feels like a lot, but I know its really not. I'm tracking it on my MFP food log, and I'm in a good range. So far, no leg cramps, stomach problems or other flu like symptoms, one headache, but that…
  • I don't drink that much water (I'm a 64-72 oz normally kind of girl), but yeah, I feel more thirsty than I used to. I've been drinking between 84-96 ounces, but I still only drink to thirst (only when I feel thirsty). Maybe it has to do with the new way of burning fuel in your body, or the inevitable increase in sodium?…
  • I think there are some really good points in here. Especially on the Macros - you could have too much protein or not enough fat in your daily eats. I would say start there - and if your not sure how many grams your mcaros should be, there are some great Keto macro calculators out there. Just google them, and you can get…
  • Hi! I'm easing into keto starting y this week (reducing my carbs, week by week) and depending on how it goes, I'll be in ketosis in a few weeks. I feel like slowly transitioning will work better for me. Looking for new friends so we can share dairies, and give motivation. ❤️
  • I'm going to be starting Keto soon, and trying to get myself set up for success with friends, recipes and motivation! Feel free to add me as a friend!
  • Thank you everyone! These are some great suggestions! I am pretty good about meal waste (throwing away leftovers and such), but that was with 2 people. I do freeze quite a bit of leftovers, I'm not one to throw things away unless they're truly bad. Its just so hard to cook for one person, as I don't really like eating the…
  • Slow cooker oatmeals are great, and they really help me out. They can be frozen in individual portions and can be customized to whatever you like/dietary needs. I use steel cut oats, primarily because I like the texture best, and add unsweetened dried cranberries or cherries, almond milk, some nutmeg (just a sprinkle), and…
  • Friends are much needed!!! I could use some motivation and maybe a little inspiration too!
  • I know exactly how you feel! I have been yo-yo dieting for years (about half of my life, now that I think about it), and nothing has ever worked, and stuck. But over those years, I've learned some important lessons, and even after learning them, I still struggle (because who doesn't?) So this is what I try to do: * Keep…
