LOL that's typically how I eat it ;) I made these mini tarts a couple weeks ago since we have canned pumpkin around. I was wondering how I could do it & remembered I also had almond meal that would make a good crust. I think I figured these came out to 4g carb/ea. Not super low, but can easily fit if you plan your day. I…

Roasted red radishes are my new favorite. Trim tops & bottoms from a bunch, slice in half. Toss with a little bit of oil, salt & pepper. Place cut side down on sheetpan, bake for 18 min on 450f, stirring once. I browned about 3 tbsp of butter & poured over radishes in a bowl once they were roasted along with the green…

I like the way you adult.

Thanks! I have a hard time looking at pics of myself. When I was gaining weight, I still saw the same small person in the mirror, like my brain wouldn't process the reflection, but show me a pic...ugh, clear as day. That left license photo above was the initial motivation to get my butt in gear & do something about it…

Typically, what size eggs does everyone buy? We stick w/ jumbos, makes a good size deviled egg as well as great poached eggs. Just wondering what size they are when you have to eat so many.

License photos...2009 vs 2012, 100# difference. I took most of it off in the months following the first pic & then took a break & maintained before taking the last 20#. Up 20# now (new position at work two years ago led to bad stress eating) & getting back down again now, easy peasy. I was always thin, gained this weight…

my fun bags are now empty bags *sigh*

asparagus! ...or tequila straight w/ water on the side.

I'll eat ANY meat for breakfast...I can't imagine a meat that doesn't go w/ eggs. Steak & pork are very good suggestions. I'm not a big bacon fan either, meh.

wild guess, she was trying to reply to an existing thread...

during the winter months we make a soup, chowder, or chili on Sundays to have for work lunches all week. Easy & warm, no brainer.
-
a pinch of baking soda will do the same, or a carrot...but the latter would be more sugary.
-
I use Baker's unsweetened chocolate in mine. It's a Greek creation, not really related to any Americanized chili. I could eat bowls of it...but won't *sigh* I like to answer with "diet & exercise" ...as if they are expecting you to tell them the "magic" bullet you've discovered.

I love quarters, grab bags when they are on sale, usually $5.99 10#. I roast them & vac seal in pairs & toss in freezer for a quick sear on the grill later. Dark meat all the way!

Energy is fine once your body becomes adapted to what it's burning for fuel. That takes a few weeks minimum. I suspect it's also why people tend to throw in the towel on keto when they start feeling like crap, not powering through the change & realizing it's only temporary.
-
Truth. This was probably my biggest motivator. Once I got started, seeing the losses only made me want to lose that much more. If you live near a park or have decent, safe sidewalks, start walking. No need to overdo. Diet & exercise go hand in hand, when I exercise it helps me stick to my diet easier...mentally, I feel…

It's been effortless and a success *for me* over the past 6 years, but it's not for everyone. the low carber link above and this below are both good groups for info here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1143-keto

this. Your body will not have time to adjust what it's burning for energy in only 5 days, especially if you bombard it w/ carbs for two days in between. You're likely retaining the water after those two days that you lost the week prior.

Your Dr wants you to lower your cholesterol, breading & frying would be a no no as well as any kind of butter/oil poaching. I have a hard time choking down fish w/o either of those methods, but I LOVE sushi or sashimi. Uncooked fish is as mild & un-"fishy" tasting as you'll get. Simmer a can of crushed tomatoes & their…

just walk. do you have any parks near you?
-
tequila AND butter...sounds like dinner to me! I'm down w/ this flannel shirt & jeans thing, but the no shaving, uh...
-
...it's nobody's business, and not necessary to answer the OP's question. to the OP, are eggs an option for you? If you need to eat breakfast, I'd work in typical lunch or dinner items you enjoy. I've recently introduced myself to Tumaro's low-carb wraps (5g net per wrap), quick weekend breakfast, I scramble an egg with…

I typically don't make eye-contact in the park, I almost never say hi as I walk by anyone either. I'm there for exercise not to socialize, I make myself unapproachable. I mean really, do these ppl say hi to everyone they walk by in the grocery store too? The park I walk at lunch was alway notorious for cruising, so it's…

I was getting it for $13.99 bag from the health food store, but found it at Walmart for $8.99...Bob's Red Mill

at least you were driving...I made the mistake of Varsity in Atlanta before flying.

Let your body adapt for a few weeks before pushing running too hard or you're going to have a bad time.

Are your leg muscles sore from your workouts? They will hold on to water until the soreness subsides. Also, consider where you are in your monthly hormonal cycle.
-
how so? ...but yet, I'm not the one name calling
-
No matter what type of diet plan you are on, if you go back to your old eating habits that caused the weight issues to begin with, you will gain again. Finger pointing exclusively at low-carb is stupid.

3-Olives brand berry vodka & water over ice is nice. I drink straight aged tequila with a side of water typically. Whatever you choose either drink w/ water or have a bottle in between drinks, your body & head will thank you in the morning. I have zero hangovers since switching to the tequila/water from beer. Hydration is…
