9/18 - Boy I barely pulled that off! Son's birthday, we had a lazy day at home and it surely shows!

Those are great results!! Congratulations!

9/17/16 - got the steps in - felt like I did next to nothing, but apparently "nothing" adds up!

well if you're binges are on high fat foods then I just wonder if that's the signal that you need more earlier in the day. I mean if the evening is your brain yelling "EAT ALL THE FAT..." I don't know, just speculating of course :)

I know you recently stopped tracking; are you SURE you're getting enough fats at your meals? Even when I could swear up and down that I'm getting enough, bingey evenings are a sure sign that I'm actually not. Especially at dinner. Breakfast and lunch I seem to do OK but dinners are harder for me to get in a truly high…

I think it absolutely can, as the sugar is eaten up by the ..... thingy on top (I cant for the life of me remember what it is called) during the fermentation process.

I think I made up for this coming Wednesday yesterday! Not only crushed the steps goal by 5am, but after that a friend and I went mountain biking for an hour on some trails on the hills near my house. Talk about a workout! Ow, my poor butt! haha, it was a blast and I can't wait to do it again. I think my Up counted the…

suggestions: pick one scale and stick with it, weighing on two and trying to correlate them will drive you mad be patient, everyone has weeks when they don't lose realize that a "plateau" is no weight loss in 6 weeks or more - not 1 week Yes, the bourbon could have done it although I would think that would have been out of…

In addition to what Shadow said, they're also very inflammatory. I avoid them.

Oh yeah and your Splenda and bulky stevia both have bulking agents that are not terribly Keto friendly FYI - maltodextrin or dextrose most likely. They spoke blood sugar for most folks and are generally avoided. Oh one more I like: it is an artificial sweetener so I eventually gave it up but I like liquid sucralose. 1 drop…

I like Sweet Leaf liquid stevia. I thought I HATED stevia because of the horrifying bitter aftertaste but Sweet Leaf doesn't have that for me. Other liquid brands do, though. I also like erythritol (one brand is Swerve; another by NOW - NOW is cheaper online but Swerve is more widely available in retail stores) but…

oops that was for 9/15. d'oh!

So Week Three, huh. That means goal of 8500 steps/day, which I'm happy to report that I exceeded yesterday 9/14. Unfortunately I have to have some nasty dental work done on Wednesday so I will probably not complete the week in full, but I'm going to do my best to exceed the 8500 (heck, to exceed 10k) all the days I can to…

Sounds miserable! Listen to and rest your body that is more important than completing the challenge for sure. Sending hugs and healing your way!

I Breathe, I'm Hungry has some free sample meal plans and grocery shopping lists, too let me look for her link. http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/menu-plans-new Also Kyndra at Peace Love and Low Carb has a pay service (I think $4.99/week) that is the same, meal plans & shopping lists! I think Ruled.Me has one too (but I'm…

9/14 - my leg is much better and I got my steps in :)

Glad you responded.. I'm not a huge rosemary fan in the first place so I'll probably leave it out or sub something else!

My husband got creative and did some recipe creating, making what we dubbed "Cheese Crispy Things" - 100g grated sharp cheddar, 25g almond flour and 1/4 tsp garlic powder, press 1 tbsp into each of 14 mini muffin tins (the metal kind is better 'cause it fries the cheese) and bake 10 min at 400 degrees. so good! You can…

I am SO making that, @ladipoet thank you for sharing

I mostly eat them raw, because I totally binge on the salted & roasted ones - although this time I bought some that are roasted but unsalted. I don't intend to chuck them just yet, so I can experiment and do an n=1 on myself around it.

9/13 - made it!

Good morning to you! Unfortunately I have a negative discovery for me (which will be positive in the end but it feels negative right now LOL) - Macadamia nuts make me inflamed. Been awake since yesterday with a stiff, inflamed arthritis back so I spent time looking back through food diaries and notes - every painful…

Made it yesterday but I think I may need to take a day or two off, I've managed to pull some muscles in my left leg and am now walking with a limp if I go faster than a snail. So if I make even 8000 today I'll take it but honestly all in aiming for is to recover. If it doesn't significantly improve with rest today, I'm…

They used to have a free web version however I believe that went away - BUT the MyNetDiary app on iPhone (and I believe Android, don't quote me on that one though) is free still and has most of the same functions. I love it so much I sprung for the paid version and didn't realize the free option was now a "14-day free…

Good morning! Another early start for me, I warmed up then deboned 20 (previously cooked) chicken drumsticks and 6 thighs, now the bones are roasting so I can make bone broth today. Already got 8000 steps in haha, since what else do you do at stupid o'clock, if you aren't sleeping, except pace 'round the kitchen? Wait, you…

9/11 Made it though I don't know how. We went to a friend's place for football party and I felt like I just mostly sat around! Guess not...

Brussels sprouts & beet greens are way high in potassium in addition to the ones Shadow mentioned.

That's the same recipe I found and used, @NonnaTurtle - it's easy but because there aren't any stabilizers it is a bit more runny than store-bought. But amazing. I just made 1/3 cup to start and quickly had to make more LOL. I wanted to make it myself because all the affordable store ones have carrageenan which I'm trying…

I have hungry days (like yesterday and since I've already started in today, I assume today too lol). Seems to coincide with what historically would have been my period time of the month (that I don't even have anymore since I had hysterectomy in May, so of course tracking it is kind of a pain) but I've definitely noticed -…
