  • #MeEveryMorning Haha love it
  • Woohoo, congrats!
  • San Diego, CA Keto since February 26, 2016
  • That is awesome!
  • 1 C raw white cabbage: 4g carbs 1 cherry tomato: .7g carbs 4.7g carbs isn't bad for a single meal, but eat some fat and a bit of protein with your next meal. I don't know what your carb goals are, but I work strict LC and that looks just fine to me
  • Today I jumped on my elliptical for the first time in a year. This time last year I struggled to do 15 minutes, and by the end my face was bright red, my head was pounding, and I was pouring sweat. Today, though, I did 30 minutes with no problems, got only slightly pink in the cheeks, and while I did sweat (of course), I…
  • @ProCoffeenator - Ugh, stress/tension headaches are the worst! Get through this day and treat yourself to a bubble bath or something equally relaxing, you deserve it! Today is the first day I start putting pumpkin spice into my coffee, so we'll see how that turns out. It's not going to be the classic PSL from sBucks, but…
  • Normally I'm a pretty decent cook but I cannot for the life of me make a decent spinach soup. I keep trying different recipes and it just keeps coming out completely inedible, watery no matter how much thick cream is in it, and bland no matter the spices I use. Ick!
  • Chicharones and cream cheese! Messy but yummy. Cucumber "sandwiches", use cucumber slices as the "bread", meat and cheese in the middle Cheese plates w/ a small amount of fruits (berries, mostly)
  • Huge Autumn/Winter fan over here--especially Autumn! I'm in San Diego so it's still pretty warm here, but I can feel the change in the wind, the cool air coming in off the sea already. It's been a cool year down here, thankfully. I've got my tartan shawls out and I'm looking for keto-friendly recipes for my favorite…
  • Wow! Such amazing progress in a short amount of time! Way to go, you look great!
  • Today is weigh day and I am looking forward to jumping on the scale, then my sister and I are going for a drive. I may login from my laptop and get some work done from home, we'll see.
  • Hi there @Leanbean65 ! I am the same, for the most part, with tracking. Goals for this weekend: 1) Finish reading my book club book 2) Take at least 1 bubble bath. If you don't make relaxation a goal you'll never get it done. 3) Finalize meal plan for next week, grocery shop 4) Prep-ahead Tuesday's lunch Right now I'm…
  • That adding intermittent fasting is not only incredibly easy, but it really makes my mornings significantly less hectic.
  • Got to fasten my bra on tighter hooks today! Considering I was using a bra extender at the beginning of this year, I am thrilled!

  • @ProCoffeenator - Happy Birthday to you! I am lazing about in bed waiting to start my day, so it's already a great day! Making today a great day: lunch is packed and dinner is planned, so food is good. Today I will actually take all of my breaks at work for once. I like to go walk during my breaks, so I'll do that.
  • Nuts, low carb beef jerky, canned fish is a great option, if you bring a well-iced cooler and leave it in the shade you can pack cheese sticks, pepperoni sticks, heavy cream, etc. Eggs are a great option for scrambling; however, the mess afterward at a campsite is no fun!
  • Every Friday my sister and I have girls night, and we always went for Chinese food. I even tried to make it work there for a while in the first several months of this WOE, but there were no carb-friendly options. None. We switched to jumping between steakhouses, seafood places, and just making healthy dinners at home and…
  • Lemon Herb Chicken served with Beurre Blanc
  • If you take a look at my weights for the last 3 months, it has been up-down-up-down, and that was entirely due to me not properly handling social situations. After three social events this last week and losing 8.8 pounds in the same week, I feel like I finally have the hang of it. 1st, for me, I finally admitted to myself…
  • Good morning! I'm Jess and I'm a 29 year-old native San Diegan. My hubs and I have been together for 9 years, no kids with no plans for kids (ever), and two cats, Duchess and The Ghost of Stonewall Jackson (yes, seriously). I am an avid reader, a gamer (mostly PC gaming, but sometimes I will join hubs on the PS/XBox/Wii)…
  • They make great hamburger buns! We used to eat them a lot when we first started LCHF, but lately we don't eat much of them anymore.
  • Breakfast this morning was leftover Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole and Bon Apetit's fry-baked eggs (fully-set whites, creamy yolks, no brown spots) CBR casserole recipe here: http://joyfilledeats.com/bacon-ranch-chicken-casserole-thm-s/
  • Logged: yes Carbs: yes Water: yes Alcohol: yes
  • I was a good biscuit yesterday. Logged: yes Carbs: yes Water: yes Alcohol: yes
  • I got my hair done today and my stylist kept gushing about how long and healthy it has grown in such a short amount of time. I got comments from random, new stylists at the salon who were walking by, and a couple of them mentioned how it's so hard to achieve "lustrous, healthy-looking blonde hair." Winner winner! Keto is…

  • I sent a FB message to Knudsen asking them if they have any heavy cream products without additives, and that I would be switching brands for now until they sell a heavy cream where the only ingredient is heavy cream.
  • I always buy Knudsen, but this post made me go to the fridge and check out the ingredients- surprise, there's carrageenan in my cream

  • @Kirstie155 I have hollandaise sauce with eggs at least once per week. You can make it the looooong way (a la Julia) or you can make it in the microwave and it's perfectly wonderful.
