That's a shame because this recipe is healthy for you. It's a good excuse to have mousse and not be at all guilty! :) You can substitute the coconut oil. All it really does is help emulsify the dry ingredients while you're mixing them together.

Sure. Enjoy! http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2012/03/chocolate-mousse-lc-sf-2.html

You can't make a good omelette or scrambled eggs without a good amount of butter. A load of sourcream also helps in eggs, but make sure it is cooked in loads of butter! Steak also. Has to be cooked in butter. Barramundi Fillets. Start the cooking skin down in loads of bubbling butter for delicious crispy skin! To cook a…

I have 2 ready to be made into a yummy Avocado Chocolate Mousse right now. Can't wait. So creamy and delicious!

You sir, are a champion among men! I love a savoury flax muffin, smothered in butter and vegemite!

That doesn't work for me. The Fat percentage only goes to 50% which is too low. :)

The first time I saw this, it was an American Airlines flight, not an Australian one. It looks "shopped" to me. I thought any obstruction of the aisles was a violation of air safety regulation?

Maltitol is to be avoided at all costs! It's usually found in those awful protein bars you see all over the place and that disgusting Coles Simply Less chocolate. There is an interesting article on Sugar Alcohols here http://www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com/sugar-alcohol.html

Keep the protein on the lower end of the scale unless you are very active in exercise. You are doing it right though! Great job.

A bag of Biltong got me through the Hobbit.

Mine is simple. This makes 6 fat bombs set in cupcake patty pans. 1/2 cup Coconut Oil 1/2 Cup Kraft (No added sugar/salt) Crunchy Peanut Butter 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 1tbsp Natvia (stevia) 1tbsp Cocoa 313 cals 3g Carb 30g Fat 6g Protein 207mg K

I missed my porridge too. Try this alternative http://theholisticingredient.com/2013/05/07/flaxseed-porridge-recipe/ Yoghurt? You can have it in small amounts. Go Full Fat Greek all the way! Fruit? Heard of Raspberries, Strawberries, Blueberries etc...? What about tomatoes or Avocados? :) The only thing I really miss is…

I often snack but I make sure it's something healthy like Macadamias or a chunk of Camembert cheese :)

Well said. There is a saying in my Industry, "Trend is your Friend!". I think that also applies here. As long as your weight loss trend is down, you can ignore the "noise" of small fluctuations.

I use mine in a different way. As a morning on the go meal when I have no time, I make Bulletproof Coffee (2 tbs Coconut Oil, 1 tbs Butter, Coffee), 1 scoop of Choc protein powder, 1 tbs Flax meal. Whiz it up in a blender and you have a Hot Mocha Thickshake that will keep you full and on the go until mid afternoon!

I sometimes plateau and fluctuate in a 1-2kg (2.2-4.4 lb) range. It's normal.

I take a supplement plus include avocados and spinach in my diet when I can. I also drink heaps of water 3-4L/day which keeps me flushed.

You can use this calculator http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ even if you aren't doing keto to work out your base metabolic rate.

The only way is to eat "nose to tail" with veges. If you like offal, you can get all you need. If you are like me and can't stand liver, brains and hearts, take a multi ^^

You have only just started so be patient. It took me a week to get into Ketosis. Just keep tracking, get enough fat in, and go for long, vigorous walks to burn off stored carbs so your body can start using fat.

Why not go for a whole 1/4 or even 1/2 chicken. It will fill you up more and it's easier to track. If you are out, a rough guide is 280-300cals for a quarter. 560-600 for an average half (with the yummy skin!)

I have a flax seed porridge with added chia seeds and full fat cream in the morning to get me started with good, healthy, filling fat. Fat is an important energy source, I can't get enough of it. My macro is 65/30/5 fat/pro/carb. The weight just falls off!

It's simple for me. If my pants fall off with a little wiggle of my butt, it's time to hit the sales!

I'm unaware of anyone it doesn't work for as long as they do it properly. That is sticking to a macro, and tracking everything you eat and drink. If you are too lazy about it, you won't get too far with it.

Switch out the sugar and the raisin bran for something else and you may have something there!

Added! :)

Iodine (kelp supplements usually) helps with thyroid function, and go for a good, long walk every day :)

Try to develop a love for fattier cheeses like Camembert, Brie or Havarti. These are my goto snack when out and about. Plus I love the looks I get in public when munching on a wedge of Brie without spreading it on a cracker! :)

I take a multi. It's easier than micromanaging your nutrient intake. I do monitor Mg, and K a bit more closely and supplement them separately and I've begun adding Iodine (as Kelp extract) because my Thyroid is "a little small" according to a checkup. The rest I just take a supplement rather than going on a search for…

I love these kinds of talks. Filling your mind with knowledge is awesome :)
