I suggest joining The Low Carber Daily Forum group. There is one thread called "show me your low carb meal" It's about 80 pages of low carb dishes and desserts. Lots of pictures and recipes. My favorite recipes so far are beef peanut pad Thai using shirataki noodles. I make a fat head pizza that is better than regular…

I'm the opposite. I tried weight watchers a long time ago after weight gain from an immobiliizing injury. I only lost point eight pounds in first three weeks and felt like I was starving. This time around, losing from an illness that caused weight gain. 45 years old 5'8" started with calorie goal at 1410 (didn't stress if…

Too many things to hit quote on... So I'll wing it. I find it super easy to get fats in. Fats are cheaper and less filling in my opinion than trying to add more protein. My typical day Breakfast: blonde coffee with half and half or heavy cream, cocoa powder, and stevia. Lunch: a seasoned steak, seared in a couple of tbsps…

My fun NSV was being able to fully wrap towel around body, tuck it and have it stay up. It's Habit to do, but with the rapid weight gain I experienced, only about two inches of towel would reach to be tucked...as soon as I'd take a couple of steps, towel would fall off. Was walking down the hall recently, facing a mirror,…

Wow... That's awesome (loss and progress)! I didn't realize you started Keto same time I did!!

I've read a few of your post on them! That sounds delicious...I love pesto with tomatoes and spinach, too!!

I add a couple of tbsps of olive oil, butter, coconut oil and/or a couple of servings of full fat cheeses or full fat creams (heavy, sour, yogurt) to literally everything I cook. When starting keto, I did a lot of egg dishes with oils, cheeses, veggies, and meats. In The Low Carber Daily Forum group find the thread called…

@JenniferM1234 I am going to try them with Italian flavors next time. For pasta substitute for Italian foods, I usually use spaghetti squash.. Comes out textured like a slightly al-dente noodle. I'll post updates on the shirataki noodles!

My daughter and I just saw the "Keto" marketed slim fast for the first time yesterday at Wal-Mart. I have to say I was offended and shocked at the price. We saw them on the way to buy my daughter's Atkins shakes (sometimes she gets the slim fast advance 1 net carb--whichever is cheapest). The ones labeled "keto" were over…

Thanks.. lost more since those were taken!! I am in shock.

Stole recipe from a fusion restaurant.

Thanks!! It's way more affordable than I thought it would be. At 1.99 a bag (at least 2 servings per bag), I will being buying a ton and playing with recipes! I will try it! ;)

I just set aside that long, because I was prepping everything else (chopping/ shredding all veggies and herbs, then cooked steak, then cooked veggies, mixed sauces). I'll try the dry cook next time. Over what temperature setting? I'd be worried they'd stick to skillet if too high?

@nrs101364 I bought the brand Nasoya... It was in stock at grocery store for only $1.99 a bag. After rinsing and really trying to get all the water drained out, I left them out for at least 30 minutes. They didn't dry out, still wet. I let them simmer in an already piping-hot sauce over medium low heat for at least thirty…

My MFP crush is on the other side of the world on a differentt continent. So, no point in revealing it. I will keep my crush a secret!

My two favorite quotes!

Edit: misread OP.

Limitless

Night of the Comet

I'm with LyndaBSS, I've never tried one. I recently heard it ordered in an old movie... And thought, I should try one, then looked through a beverage recipe site at what's in them and all the different types. I will try an original gin martini first.

Same thought, I wouldn't consider olives dirty, especially organic. They are high fat which fits keto. And when researching keto on the medical side of it...I never saw olives listed as a Keto no-no. Inflammation foods (vegetable oils, seed oils, legumes and beans) I understand. Things that spike insulin, I get. But I…

We even gave this a nickname: my daughter and I call it "the Janice look" after the guitarist in the Muppet's Band. Also the botox injections. After a few, it's like they change the face shape completely, and faces start looking wider and very muscular. I think it's really sad! Even seeing naturally beautiful younger…

Especially if they pull out the weed eater also!

I'm originally from the south east US... There were so many phrases that made me cringe. "Winner winner chicken dinner" "Pretty is, is pretty does" "Bless your heart" "Heavens to Betsy" "When pigs fly" "Hill of beans" There's 100s more!

Blonde roast coffee with cocoa and half and half.

I'm weird...I like very skinny guys, average height to tall and lanky, bean poles... I love it when guys can make me laugh. I prefer intelligence, but not know-it-all arrogance. I like guys who aren't completely insecure or intimidated by me. And can handle my nerdiness and quirks.
