sure thing, Phrick!

Thanks all.... honestly, I wasn't posting for "good job!", but really wanted to show anybody who is new what can happen in such a short time.

Why yes, yes I did.... just today, in fact.

Well, in about 75 days, I lost 25ish pounds and got great blood work improvements too. My real concern is that because of my plan, she eats more fat than before, but keeps the carbs. A recipe for disaster.

She is pretty good. I found her just a couple of years out of med school.... so she isn't too old school.

Fried, and in a Po'Boy..... or as a stew. Hard to say which is my favorite way.

OK, that meal was last night.... Basically it was ground chickpeas with tons of herbs ground into them. She made a garlic / herb / yogurt / dill sauce, She also had spring greens on the table and some type of slaw.... I hate slaw, so I had none of that. I put the burger on the bun with the sauce ( about 2 - 3 TBS ) lots of…

Try black soy beans. The brand I use is just one net carb per serving. I think the brand is called "Eden Organics".... or similar.

I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Spiralizer-Tri-Blade-Vegetable-Strongest-Heaviest-Gluten-Free/dp/B00GRIR87M/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1459287843&sr=1-1&keywords=spiralizer It works great!

Saag / Palek is basically creamed spinach with paneer and Indian spices.

Don't know where you live, but lettuce can be planted with temps in the 40's.... basically as soon as you can break ground. Same with Kale.

So I am guessing you like saag / palek paneer?

I just planted 12 heads of lettuce that will be ready in about 30 days. I have red Romaine.

What does Kohlrabe taste like? I see plants in my area for sale.

If I can get my back fixed, my goal is to eventually be able to do TRX exercises.

I would think oxtails might be cheap, but they are decidedly not where I can get them..... $9 a pound and almost no meat.

Well, she hates all of those veggies..... except she never had a turnip. She does eat a lot of veggies, but she likes hers raw, never cooked. And, I did say I would have a bite.

Except black soy beans. 1 net carb per serving.

What is the carb count? I have never seen that, and I love peanut butter.

I probably would IF I had other choices, and knew I had diabetes and heart issues. This is not to say that I will never eat a carb laden meal again. I absolutely will. But for now, I feel like I have to have a militaristic attitude with this ( for myself ) until I feel like I have it all down, and can get right back on the…

I don't really know. Honestly, I have not done much research. But LCLF worked to some degree for me, but I hated every second of it.... LCHF seemed like a much more enjoyable way to go. But basically what I know for a fact about a keto diet is, "If you don't have carbs to burn, then the body will start using fat as its…

This would be an easier choice if I was more established in LCHF. I am only 2 months in.

Yeah, I guess that could be true since I used to drink 100+ ounces a day, and now that my blood sugar is fairly close to normal, I am drinking 40 - 50 a day.

I had horrible breath for 4 - 5 weeks.... it is now back to normal, which can be normal.

Don't trust the strips.... I have NEVER tested as being in ketosis.

Oh, and creamed spinach.... OMG... could eat that 3x a week, easily.

Lots of roasted cauliflower with Olive oil, salt and pepper on it. ( prior to roasting ) Also, I make cauliflower rice and then cook it in chicken broth and butter.

OK, I guess this is a scale victory ( sorry ) but I went into the 250's today for the first time in close to 20 years... and it just felt good.

Thank you all! :)

right, only cellular should have a data charge. not wifi.
