No I do not.

I go to my moms and I just bring a few low carb sides that my family actually loves. Also I am making a low carb cheesecake pie with nut crust for dessert. My mom is cooking healthy too....non hormone turkey, squash and she said NO pies, lol I am making fresh green bean casserole with homemade cream sauce with heavy cream…

I just bought and used these black soybeans in my chili. They are so good! I have a recipe to try the brownies too....can't wait to see how they turn out.

What exactly is the "fat fast"...

What do you drink when you fast? I might need to do this because I have been on and off the last couple months after gaining all my weight back last year. I have been trying to do low carb the last month or so but I have slipped up too many times I am not really losing but just maintaining.

That is Awesome! 45 pounds....great job :smile:

That is what I do...HAHA lol

I try to stay below 30g. Some days I am a little less some days a little more.

I haven't tried any fat bombs yet so I'm not sure....hopefully someone knows and gets you an answer.

Same for me.

Saved to try...yummy!!! Love Pad Thai!

Yes....I just found your post on your sodium challenge and new doctor. I am going to keep following you and lower my sodium a tad and see if it lowers my BP.

Now I am very confused because my blood pressure was high when I checked. The machine my hubby has was all over the place (but high numbers) so I checked at Publix this am and it was 131/90. I have never had high blood pressure in my life! I keep thinking it is too much sodium but from what I hear numbers and tests are…

Yes better when I lay down...worse when I am sitting or standing. I have never had high blood pressure but all the sodium could maybe be causing it. My husband has a machine... I am going to check when I get home. It is definitely related to this WOE because I rarely got headaches before.

I also started taking Magnesium supplements.

I think you mentioned water because I did and I get headaches. I drink like 10 glasses a day. Always have...I don't drink anything else except an occasional cup of coffee and of course my salty broth :wink:

I hate this hot weather....trust me I wish I was using my heater, lol I have family in Ohio...I saw they were picking pumpkins in the snow while we were sweating our booties off!

They have it at a local fresh seafood shop where I live. We have bought it and made our own sushi and seared ahi tuna.....delicious!!

I was gonna ask if anyone knew how much sodium was high enough. I get the headaches too (I'm about 2 weeks in....not steadily the the first week) and have been drinking broth and salting everything! I felt like I was eating too much salt but I am right around the range you said but I also drink a lot of water.

Thank you....I have been missing beans since they are so high in carbs. I am definitely going to look for these!

What kind of Kombucha tea do you drink....I see there is a Kombucha Green tea?

I am working on this. Weaning my son off sugar. I don't buy soda, candy, quitting buying cookies, toaster strudels, and popsicles, ice cream, cakes, yogurt with added sugar and juices with added sugar. Only sugar will be from fruits...for my son, not me yet as I have just started LC and don't want to add them yet. I will…

Thanks for sharing. I posted the link on my Facebook as I argue how bad sugar is quite often with people I know!

It's a pain in the booty but I've made homemade olive oil mayo.....only eggs, olive oil, salt and dry mustard. No other crap! You can Google a ton of recipes on exactly how to do it.

I've just started about a week ago and it is taking some getting used to. But I am going to keep it up and see what happens. Everyone here seems to have great results :smile:

Wow....I have to Google that pancake recipe! Looks delicious!

I've done this too....perfect taco shell. Butter lettuce leaves work good also!

This is how I grew up and I am upset with myself for not being more serious about the junky sugar foods with my son who is most precious to me. And here I am letting him put bad foods into his little body. I am trying to wean him off a lot of it. I don't buy soda. I never buy candy just to have in the house. But I need to…

What do you "bread" your cheese with? I saw a recipe once that was parm cheese and crushed pork rinds.
