I can get it at Safeway here in Washington...sold by Bob's Red Mill.

Crio bru (brewed cocoa) with coconut milk and EZ Sweetz. Also thinking about a few pieces of bacon to go with :)

I love coconut oil , and really when you roast the veggies in it? I don't even taste it... just a very very faint smell/remnant of it. I actually have had people say "Hey, these Brussels are really good! What did you do to it?" They are always surprised to find that they were done in coconut oil. It's the very subtle taste…

With the amt of water I drink daily ( at least 9 cups), and all of the coconut I end up ingesting during the week, be it oil, milk, cream etc...I have no issues with regularity! Slides right out :P

What about the almond milk/coconut milk combo I use... only 45 cal a cup and really good for you? Its by blue diamond iirc.... can mix it up with a low cal cocoa maybe and some torani/davinci SF flavored syrup? I would totally scarf that lol

A little late but I make these and they are a HUGE hit. http://www.howsweeteats.com/2012/02/toasted-coconut-brussels/ Awesome for low carb/keto :)

I do roasted broc or a salad tbh...sometimes will do a mashed cauliflower as a side.

I lost a 2 year old!!!! hmmm hope CPS doesn't come after me!

Food Scale. Get it. Use it. Love it :) It makes a huge difference when you are counting calories....I remember way back when thinking that the spoonful of peanut butter I was snacking on HAD to be a serving, because it was for me. Weighing and measuring it out... geez it was like 2 servings worth :( Same for the salads and…

I personally prefer to weigh daily. I know that fluctuations will happen so I am prepared when it shows higher one day etc. My period may be coming so I am retaining water, I might not have needed to use the toilet yet so I could have solid waste still there from dinner the night before, I might be retaining water because…

I LOVE looseleaf tea....I have a Brown Betty Teapot from Staffordshire England that is my pride and joy. In fact, I have like 4 of them now... a 4 cup, a 6 cup, an 8 cup and a 12 cup. I tend to stay with strong black teas, flavored with milk and sweetener. I like Earl Grey, Lady Grey, English Breakfast, Irish/Scottish…

Drink your water. Drink your water. Drink your water. <In case you missed that, drink your water!! Don't stress over the scale. They are evil creatures and live to destroy you. Log everything. Weigh everything on a food scale. What you think is 2 tbsp is probably NOT 2 tbsp!!! Measurements are good. Do it.

Also, if you are like me and don't care for coffee...you can also do the Bulletproof cocoa/chicken broth/tea etc. Don't limit it to just coffee if you prefer other things!! I personally love chicken broth with the coconut oil, butter, a little cream, a bit of chicken base added in for salt/potassium and a spoonful of my…

I saute broccoli slaw or shredded cabbage all the time for my "noodles" It's good!!

Send me a friend request if you like...just put in you are keto or LC please :) It's always easier when you have people going through the same struggles as you are!!

Bacon, butter, cream, fatty meats. I love my food :)

I bet it is!!! I throw my gelatin in with my tea all the time :) I like chai... but not at home. I love the stuff at our local place though and I go nuts over theirs. Mine is just never quite right. I do love my black tea with cream and splenda, with a dash of whatever s/f flavor I fancy. I had banana the other…

I buy mine from Amazon, or from Great Lakes company. http://smile.amazon.com/Great-Lakes-Gelatin-Collagen-Hydrolysate/dp/B00EV2E86A/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1402077814&sr=1-1 I use the green container, and use 1 very rounded TBSP 2x a day. So, one in am and one in PM. It doesn't react with my thyroid meds…

Well, a) there is a theory on Reddit that it helps in weight loss, and b) my knees are pretty terrible. This helps my knees and other joints a lot...its no where near as bad to bend my knees now. And, its a tasteless, clear thing so I don't have to add more pills to my routine and it doesn't interfere with my other…

Make my cocoa... add cream, add coconut oil, add my gelatin (its tasteless and dissolves with no gelling), and add sweetener. Sometimes I will add unsalted butter to it as well.

TBH, the broth is really really good. Its a favorite of mine. I love the taste of my coconut oil in it., but the broth needs to be a salty one for me.... a nice strong chicken taste to it. I know a lot of people don't care for the oil to have a taste, but I love it... haven't found anything where the coconut taste makes me…

eh....don't like coffee. But, I do like the Bulletproof tea and broth and cocoa...so may join in on one of those later :)

Personally I would LOVE a script like this....except for the "emma" part lol but the colors would be awesome and helpful for me at least.

All ketosticks do is tell you that you HAVE been in ketosis in the last 3 days. So its no indication that you are in today...just that sometime in the last three days you have been.

Well, just a thought though...have you tried the steel cut oats? If you family is using the regular rolled instant stuff I can see why the texture would put you off. Steel cut oats are really different in texture. When I could eat oatmeal, I loved the steel cut ones compared to normal. Maybe you like that better? Other…

/raises hand I am. Also allergic to ragweed, which is in the same family as the stevia...that is probably why I can't use it.

I made seafood alfredo and sauteed broccoli slaw. :) Good and filling!!

It's rare that I eat after 8 pm... usually only if we are on a dinner date or if we were up late that morning, we will eat later. If I am hungry though? I eat. Most of the time I am not so its not anything major.
