Where do you buy your riced cauliflower? It's twice as expensive where I shop.

I don't get why anyone buys prepackaged cauliflower rice. It takes me all of 30 seconds to rice cauliflower using my blender.

Thanks! I won't be near Berlin, but I might visit, so that will be a good place to check out.

Thanks!

I realize that. I mean the carb count. You'll see that 20g is 80 calories and 17 carbs, while 1 ounce is 85 calories and 13 carbs with 11 of those being dietary fiber. Even the calorie count is off: if 20g is 80 calories, it is 4 calories per gram; if 1 ounce is 85 calories, it is 3.03 calories per gram.

I saw that, but the nutrition facts for 20g compared to 1 ounce are completely different, leading me to have trouble believing either entry.

But that's just from what the water extracts from the beans themselves. I'm going to be eating the beans.

Maybe grinding up some pork rinds might help give that crumbly consistency.

Pork rinds.

It just means that I'm not losing as quickly as I was at the beginning of my diet. I've been eating this way since May. Went from 165 to 146. I'm 5'2" and pretty much sedentary, so I'm losing about .5 a week at my current intake. The only reason my protein intake is so great is because I bake with protein powder and eat a…

Embarrassed to admit this, but I really enjoy water + vinegar + pumpkin spice + splenda. It kind of fizzes up and tastes like apple cider.

I used the cinnamon spice pork rind cake recipe above and added cocoa powder. Used liquid splenda. Instead of heavy cream, I used pumpkin spice protein powder mixed with 1/2 cup almond milk. Boiling coffee instead of water. I added zucchini, too, to add some more substance. Carrots would probably be delicious, but they're…

When you shamelessly exhaust your day's calories and carb ration on a chocolate pork rind cake with avocado cream cheese frosting.

I feel like keto works best for me because I feel obligated to stick with it. I don't allow myself cheat days, since I'm worried I'll fall out of fat-adapted mode.

Instead of eating pizza and cookies at a party today, I made my own low carb pizza and brought that. Left feeling proud of myself and not deprived.

Epsom salt baths might not help sore muscles, but they will certainly give you psychic powers.

I feel the same way. Persimmons are coming into season, and I've decided to go off my diet one day and devote all that day's calories to persimmons, squash, and apples.

I like to make low carb 'pancakes' 4 large eggs 2 tbsp cream cheese (I've used less or more, sometimes low-fat or that greek yogurt/cheese blend) 1-2 packets splenda or a dash liquid spenda 1/8 tsp salt 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (optional) 1. separate egg yolks from egg whites, making sure not to get yolk in your whites. 2.…

When I used the rowing machine, I saw some nice veins in my arms and baby forearm muscles. :D

Haha, I have similar thoughts. Especially regarding self defense. One of the reasons I want to try out Krav Maga.

That...most likely doubles the calories in it. 1 tbsp of coconut oil is approximately 120 calories. If you add that to a 100 calorie portion of cooked rice, you've more than doubled the calories

I made some delicious peanut cookies yesterday. The ingredients were: 1 egg 1/2 cup peanut butter (I used unsweetened natural) 1/2 scoop protein powder (I used trutein, which had 1.5 net grams per serving) 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking powder 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 cup peanuts sweetener to taste…

I go to the gym 2-3 times a week and walk 2-2.5 miles 2-3 times per week. When I go the gym, I lift weights, so I'm not sure how many calories that burns. 138 is around 26 BMI, I think. I just don't like how I look right now and I want to get in shape before a few events that are coming up. I entered my info into the…

I intend to.

I'm still eating some veggies on it, I just can't eat the pounds upon pounds of carrots, turnips, rhutabagas, etc. that I used to eat. I've been sticking with leafy greens.

I appreciate your suggestion, but what makes you think I'll be overweight? Because I decided to try a low carb diet? I'm not so inept that I can't count calories, thank you.

What makes you think I will gain weight? I've maintained at 140 for a year before actually deciding to try Atkins. Just because I wanted to try a new diet doesn't mean that I was actively gaining on the last one or that as soon as I reach my goal weight, I'll stuff my face with doritos and chocolate.

Putting it at .5 a week only raises it be 200...

Yeah, about 2 lbs per week so far, but that may just be water weight. MFP is telling me 1200 for a weekly deficit of 1 lb/week. I'll see what reducing it to .5 a week does.

You should try melting coconut oil, cocoa powder, splenda, and some peppermint extract. Tastes just like thin mints, except, well, without the wafers haha. I like to melt them into muffin tins.
