neanderthin, I am working on a healthy lifestyle, but, being older and fully retired makes it hard to loose weight. so, I'm checking many options; not just one only.

I'm looking at the benefits of apple cider vinegar. like this: ACV may reduce your blood sugar response after consuming starchy foods if it's consumed as part of the meal ( a vinegar dressing on pasta salad or a side salad with a vinaigrette. The consumption of ACV caused an overall reduction in total cholesterol,…

I haven't used a scale. so, when I do a recipe; I measure the total amount in a 2 cup measuring cup, or twice to figure total amount. then decide how many servings I want from that amount; and divide it to come to a serving size portion and nutritional information.

Cybele's free to eat confetti cookies are so good. small mini cookies, but, 2 are just 18g carbs. and

A big downfall for me, is grocery shopping. can't avoid temptations another one is not exercising consistently

I have the same feeling. It appears I almost have to starve and eat only vegetables and protein. I'm trying to find clean eating meals, but I like to cook. I need to go more low glycemic foods to work with pre-diabetic and healthier food swaps. maybe, allow yourself small rewards, for goals met and pre-pan meals. I agree…

I find it works better, too also plan meals. I try for weekly menus and save those menus; then alternate menus on a regular basis

I need to track better and make it a goal to work at my weight. SW: 235 GW: 180 SW 1/10/2024 235 I am interested in trying more keto foods to avoid higher blood sugars since I'm pre-diabetic, I'm 75 years old

I did the physical therapy and ended up with sciatic which made it much worse. 45 minutes is a long time to do stretches and more. at home I could do it for 15 minute stretches and finally got rid of sciatic.

here's a recipe I have used: https://sweetandsavorymeals.com/irish-colcannon-recipe/ only 8 carbs in serving per recipe

bagged cesar salad, grilled chicken and garlic bread

congratulations, well done dear. hope that will inspire more of us.

rainer cherries, raspberries, nectarines and sunflower seeds as another snack

bagged cesar salad and grilled or rotesserie chicken

hard cooked eggs, nuts and fruit

I like the combo of cheese slice, nuts and fresh fruit

I need to work at this challenge. I'm from MN, age 75, have struggled with my weight for too many years. I need to kick myself in the butt and get going to a new year approaching. I will weigh in thursday mornings.

there are many books on 'eat this not that' I also, believe, that there is a facebook page that is interesting

we are retired and need smaller meals. I buy a rotisserie chicken and make it for 3 meals. Cesar salad and cubed chicken, chicken salad, chicken soup. The same with roast beef. roast beef dinner, homemade soup, and beef commercials. Egg meals. we flash freeze vegetables from our garden or farmers' market.

I am obssessed with finding more protein breakfast and less carbs. Today, I had leftover crocopot roast beef and favorite white cheese with fresh fruit. I also saw this blogger share so many good looking protein breakfast recipes to freeze: https://www.cushyspa.com/high-protein-breakfast/

todays meal plans: breakfast reheat chicken patty warmed with white cheese slice, snack, pretzel twist, layer with banana slices and mini chocolate chips lunch, egg tuna salad on one slice of open face bread snack walnuts and fresh peach Dinner crockpot roast beef and gravy, mashed potatoes and creamed broccolini

rockitwell86 posted that she finds it difficult prepping for one person. food preparation here is done a lot by freezing. I freeze fresh vegetables, partial boiled a few minutes, blanche in cold water, lay out on etc parchments to freeze and put into individual freezer bags. spinach, celery, peppers, brussel sprouts, I…

today, I prepared sauteed chicken patties and in the mornings I will warm with a slice of white cheese

I am prediabetic also. It is coming to my attention that some keto melas are ok, probably breakfast for sure. I am trying to make my breakfast more protein and skipping bread which is hard for me. nuts are good for snacks, white cheese sliced strawberries. It's small steps toward a better goal of avoiding diabetes. a light…

this recipe has good reviews and I'm wanting to try it, can omit garlic butter for pizza dough, and I would bake it until almost done then add other pizza toppings to finish baking. https://sugarfreelondoner.com/low-carb-garlic-bread-keto-grain-free/#recipe

my next big breakfast meal, after intermitten fasting mid-morning is this choice I am trying. https://healingautoimmune.com/aip-turmeric-beet-smoothie-recipe, open face w.w. toast and fried egg. I may add some frozen raspberries, that goes well with beets and unsweetened applesauce instead of full apple; raspberries go…

look at the protein level too, thanks
