I also got an AncestryDNA kit for Christmas. Sent in my DNA and am excited to see what it says when it's processed. I never knew my Father or anything about that side of my background. Even without the DNA results yet, using the site to try to build a family tree has been mind blowing. I've lost track of time so many times…

Most of the above, plus:* Cauliflower * feta * Old Bay Seasoning * ground turkey * tuna * portolbello mushroom caps * chickpeas * bagged salad * peppers

Hows the taste of coconut water? I've never tried it but sounds like an option for my next prep ( a few years out)

I just read an article here about keto-flu but it went further to explain that doing low carb changes/effects our electrolyte levels and how we need to compensate, especially Magnesium (which low magnesium would contribute to hair loss)

Some great suggestions! Thanks! I think I'll order a few of these recommendations to get me started and also use the web. When I find recipes on-line that we decide are "keepers" I'll print them and start compiling my own "go to" cookbook! B) o:) <3

I like the idea of a Farmers cookbook! I'd like to take advantage of joining one of the farm co-ops in my area to get fresh seasonal veggies, and perhaps start to see if I can grow some of my own? Thanks!

I doubt I can give up meat LOL But thanks for these recommendations! I have a freind who just became Vegan and these will make great gifts for her!

Good question! I figured it didn't matter since the water doesn't add any calories??

I'm 5'10 and want to get to One-derland.

Progress not perfection! Getting healthier and fitter is a process. For some of us, change is a baby step at a time, and every person's journey is their own. <3

138 when I got up. 100 before dinner.

Thanks Trina! I was getting really frustrated. Guess I'll need to just keep on keeping on and have faith that it will resolve itself! Have a good day!

56 yrs old, recently diagnosed with insulin resistant diabetes, not on meds (yet), struggling to try to get my bg readings in range through diet & exercise. I'm 70lbs over weight. Deal with fibromyalgia, recurring kidney stones/cysts, and general anxiety disorder. Just sent a few friend requests. Would love to give/get…

135 :'( New to this but tracked everything I ate today so hoping tomorrow is lower.

Serious question: What if you have insulin resistance and are supposed to limit your carbs?

Same here! Recently diagnosed with Insulin Resistance and trying to keep my blood sugar in range is stressing me out. Seems impossible to stay on track with food OR exercise. Really could use a motivation/accountability buddy!
