A keto diet has been proven to reduce seizures in people with epilepsy, however my daughters neurologist stated, "I don't believe in cutting out a food group"

We had our first snow yesterday. Nothing that lasted but Winter is coming..........

I make my own bone both and drink whenever I feel I need and energy/ electrolyte boost.

I have two: Whipped cream sweetened to taste sprinkled with cinnamon or whipped cream mixed with cream cheese and pumpkin pie spice. I drool just thinking about it! :blush:

@jumanajane your update brought tears to my eyes and made my heart ache for you. I can't imagine being cut off from one of my children. I'm so glad you took the opportunity to try to reconnect and got your hug. Here is one from me (( )). I pray for you that one day he lets you back in completely. It sounds like you had an…

I can't eat first thing in the morning so I take breakfast to work for a 9:30 or 10am snack/meal. I pre-cook bacon once a week and will pair it with keto pancakes (2oz. cream cheese, 2 eggs, 1tsp cinnamon, and sweetener of choice- I use 12 drops vanilla stevia, sweetleaf brand makes 4 pancakes) or a frittata or quiche dish…

I had a terrible time with moodiness when I started keto 6 weeks ago. The first week was almost euphoric as the scale drops then with week 2 came the moodiness After week three I seemed to balance out. Not sure if it was hormonal or the mental withdrawal from my favorite carby foods and snacks. I do suffer from depression…

Happy Birthday!! You should be very proud of your accomplishments!

Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada and Fall is here. Leaves already on the ground!

@KittensMaster, you have totally reinvented yourself!! Inspiring! Congrats on all that hard work!!

I'm in <3 for BACON!!

I do frittata on Sunday and it is breakfast for the week. I use sausage, spinach and cheese with eggs and cream, and whatever spices( nutmeg is nice). Soups are good for lunches or cold roast beef or chicken in a salad or with tomatoes and mayo for lunch.

My KISS: be sure to get my water in on the week ends. I keep my 24 oz bottle on my desk at work and easily drink 3 during the day, then comes the week end and I forget to get the water in!

I need to try this!!

Fat bombs are a great way to get in your fat if you are having trouble reaching your goal. Some are like "dessert" others are savory. if you search fat bombs in the discussion boards you will find lots of ideas.

Thanks @Sk8Kate you have given me hope! It's always house work and cooking that set me off! We have so little summer here that I want to enjoy every last bit and not be distracted by cleaning house on the weekends. The leaves are starting to fall here and Winter will soon be upon us!

Hi everyone! I have a question: Is it common to become a monster the first few weeks of this WOE? I am just about done 2 weeks, have lost 5+ lbs. I'm happy with that. My husband has pointed out to me that my mood has been , lets just say less than desirable. I have been lashing out at him and the kids. I wasn't even aware…

some places will do low carb burgers. I've had them at Carl's Jr. and at Five Guys ( messy if your trying to eat and drive)

So... week one of LCHF under my belt and I lost a total of 4.2 lbs! That's a nice start. I feel better. My calves have released some water as my pants sit a bit more loose there now, and I feel more energetic. I was having some terrible emotion on day 3 and 4 by the time supper came. I think because I still cook for the…

nuts, jerky, pork rinds, almond butter and celery (should be ok not refrigerated for a few hours), low carb crackers( I saw a recipe on here somewhere).

I just started the meal plans @ I Breath...I'm Hungry. Comes with all the recipes and all is free. Has saved me the confusion of getting it all right LOL. I love her recipes, as well as grocery lists and prep notes. Makes for an easy week with little to no thought on what to eat!

Good morning, afternoon or evening to you all. My name is Emily. I am 47, premenopausal, pre-diabetic and have high blood pressure. I have about 40lbs to lose. I am married to my soul mate and have 2 teenage girls (13 and 14). My oldest daughter has suffered tremendously for the last year and a half. She has not been able…

I'm in Alberta and can get them at No-frills. Try Loblaw's, Superstore ( they are all affiliated I believe) I have even found them at Wal-Mart on occasion.

"my sugar-starch metabolism, which is standard, is broken" = insulin resistance . My sugar - starch metabolism is also broken. I guess some on this thread are very fortunate that they do not have this issue and that a CICO WOE is working for you. Not all bodies work the same and some people cannot tolerate too much…

From Wikipedia :"Spam is a brand of canned precooked meat products made by Hormel Foods Corporation. It was first introduced in 1937 and gained popularity worldwide after its use during World War II.[1] By 2003, Spam was sold in 41 countries on six continents and trademarked in over 100 countries.[2] In 2007, the seven…

Loved this! Thanks

I cook bacon in my Forman grill. Perfect every time and easy to collect all that yummy bacon fat!! When I need to cook larger amounts the Barbeque works for me, just line with foil for easy clean up. I also cannot stand the smell that lingers throughout the house all day!

My burger goes like this: bbq'd with Montreal steak spice, topped with cheddar cheese, red onion, tomato, dill pickle, mayo, mustard and wrapped in the outer leaves of an Iceberg lettuce.

Chicken soup broth, chicken, any veggie you like ( celery, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus etc) made into soup. The veggies will soften and you can put it in a blender if you want to make a cream of.... soup.
