We are going to my in-laws for Thanksgiving.. I've decided to bring my own dessert and I'm making mock twice baked potato (cauliflower).. My my sister in-law always makes a few veggie side dishes so I plan to stay on Keto.

breakfast usually bacon and eggs lunch - tuna salad with full fat mayo with avocado and tomato salad on the side snack - mozzarella and pepperoni dinner - usually salmon/chicken legs/shrimp etc... if its a lower fat protein ill prepare it in a higher fat sauce.. snack - depends on my mood and if i got all my fat/protein in…

chocolate drops for something sweet 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate 1/3 cup peanut butter 2 tablespoons butter 1/3 cup ricotta cheese 12 packets Equal sugar substitute 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions: Melt the first 3 ingredients in microwave. Stir well to combine. Add the remaining ingredients, stir and drop by…

wow some yummy ideas!!

my issue with the low carb/low fat/high protein is too much protein turns to glucose... I had less energy because i was working out more and something just wasn't right i was doing to much to maintain my numbers.. which is why the keto works better for me, I should have stuck with this from the beginning... :)

I love chicken breast too :) I try to cook it in fat or put some cheese on it to add the fat I need... See now that is amazing and it's really sad that diabetics are given all the wrong info for a disease that can be controlled in a better way with diet and exercise... Well I'm just glad that many look into other…

yes exactly!!! My snacking is once a day and that's only to get my calorie/fat/protein goal... my cravings are in check and I'm starting to get my energy back..

that sounds yum!

Atkins is the same as keto... At the time that I did it I was first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes... I started Atkins and lost 36 lbs and felt great... When I started learning more and more about diabetes I got scared that the diet might be to high in fat for a diabetic because of the high risk diabetes gives with heart…

I just started Keto Monday but I've been on low carb for a while.. I would have to say pizza!

I took a few days off from the gym so my body can adjust this week, I started on Monday. I would like to hear the answers to this so I know for next week when I go back!! Good luck :)

Great info!! :)

Thank you for the welcome!! I've done Atkins before with great success... I was scared at the time of the fat intake and turned to the ADA DIET (diabetic association) which is a complete joke for a diabetic.. I took the time to really research keto and my fears have settled down now... We are taught to think that high fat…

I'm currently a size 12, and don't know why but anytime I've thought of getting to my goal weight, size 6 is usually in that thought process..

I agree with this.. I did ww on and off for 2 years and lost 37 lbs... It was a struggle for me because I had less energy to workout and always felt like I was always hungry at the end of the day.. I'm a type 2 diabetic and went to a nutritionist and found out I wasn't eating enough at all, I was maybe hitting 1200-1300 a…

I did the same thing for 3 months. But in the end i rejoined ww because i wasn't losing counting calories. Try MFP for 1 month and see your results, compare to the results you got when you were doing the ww plan and make that be your deciding factor. I did MFP for 2 months and i gained and lost the same 5 lbs. I'm back…

In DEC of 2010 I got really bad report back from my doc. My diabetes was completely out of control and my cholesterol was terrible!!! He wanted me to go on all these pills and i said NO..I will do it through diet and exercise... He basically said well if you start feeling really terrible go to emergency and they will put…

I get 26 pts a day and it never works out to reach my cal goal on MFP. I also noticed that i need to eat a lot more foods to get to my calorie goal on MFP, when logging the food in for a day counting cal i was estimating 34-35 pp!!!! which now tells me why i was stalled when trying to lose. WW creates points on the…

mine is AJ1418 I tried doing the cal counting to save some money and for me that was a mistake... I hate that monthly fee but you know what i chalk it up as something I'm doing "for me" alone, I'm going to put myself first and it cost a little to get me back in order ill take that small price for now.. I'm hoping to join…

I'm doing the online only as well...when I get closer to goal ill join meetings to make life time. I lost 37 lbs first time around and got my diabetes under control that it didn't even show on glucose testing...

Amazing progress :) you look great!
