How about raw cauliflower, broccoli or mushrooms? Also, some people like pork rinds, although they are not my favorites. I make almond crackers every once in a while, but they are addictive.

Goal #1: brush my teeth after each meal at least 5 times a week. Goal #2: work out twice a day at least 3 days a week Goal #3: save money Goal #4: avoid dairy Miserably failing on all fronts. Goal 1: it's been so hectic I just fall into bed exhausted at night. Goal 2: no. just once on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and today…

I don't mention weight loss, and instead talk about improving health and physical performance. Tends to cut out unwanted questions or comments. Tell people you're eating the way you are to be healthier, not to be skinnier. You can say things like, I'm cutting junk out of my diet because I feel better without it. If people…

have you tried roasted pork belly? hits my fat cravings all the time.

Goal #1: brush my teeth after each meal at least 5 times a week. Goal #2: work out twice a day at least 3 days a week Goal #3: save money Goal #4: avoid dairy Week #2 here I come! Goal 1: I managed the 5 times, but didn't do it yesterday because I went to bed early due to a massive migraine. I set an alarm to remind…

Butter Cheese Steak Steak Miracle Rice

End of week 1: Goal number 1: I'm at 5 as of tonight. Goal number 2: I think I only managed 2, but I worked out every day since 1 Jan. Goal number 3: Did good. But this weekend is a work weekend, so I will be heading out to lunch, dinner, and then lunch again on Sunday. Goal number 4: had a bunch of manchego Tuesday and…

A lot of that franken-corn goes into the human diet in shape of corn syrup and various additives. Not surprising that we are getting as big as those chickens.

@slimzandra, if there is one thing I am good at, it's bastardizing recipes down to as few ingredients and cooking steps as possible.

The recommendations to cut down on sugar went out a few months back. They also scaled back vilification of fat and cholesterol. However, the emphasis on "heart-healthy whole grains", low fat dairy and other junk remains, as well as negative view of meat. A lot of government-connected think tank recommendations are to…

Lilith is a biblical character, who was Adam's first wife, made out of dirt like Adam. The story goes she refused to bow to Adam per God's command, and instead pretty much walked out. She ended up the Queen of Hell, mother to all kinds of demons. I thought it was a nifty story. I added an extra "l" because people were…

I meal prep or make extra servings of dinner. Today my lunch was sausage pan fried in some hot sauce, spaghetti squash, sautéed mushrooms and half an avocado.

@nvmomketo , you look like you're tall? those 155lb look fantastic on you. Congrats on your weight loss.

May I jump in, I know I'm late... January Goals: Goal #1: brush my teeth after each meal at least 5 times a week. Goal #2: work out twice a day at least 3 days a week Goal #3: save money: no eating out other then on a work weekend (because I overspent last month so badly), cook with the meat that's frozen in my freezer,…

We have jarred curry paste at the local supermarket, so I started making lazy curry - throw a broccoli/cauliflower mix bag in the slow cooker, browned meat of choice, garlic, ginger, a bit of lemon juice and a mixture of curry paste and one can of coconut milk, let everything go for 6-8 hours. As a matter of fact, a beef…

Nah, just really bad insomnia and addiction to horrible literature.

Happy Steak Day!

My goals for new year are as follows: Primary: 1. Fix my sleeping habits, because functioning on 3-4 hours of sleep a night is not optimal for a human being. 2. Brush my teeth three times a day. 3. Start a meditation habit. 4. Find a new job. My secondary goals: 1. Max the physical fitness test. 2. Diversify my workouts…

The Man gave me a new Garmin Forerunner 15, which is a GPS watch that measures and tracks your running and steps. It's awesome, and he is amazing. In turn, I signed him up for a 5K on the 1st. Mostly though I've actually done the opposite as most of my gifts to people this year involved chocolate.

I've been doing lazy keto with minimal tracking lately (however, also been running more because the Man is out of town for a few weeks, and that's how I choose to entertain myself while he is away). Today I put on a pair of pants that were too tight the last few times I put them on (suck-the-gut-in-while-putting-them-on…

Coconut crème, I imagine. I'll find out after the 1st, as I am going on a no dairy, no caffeine two week detox.

animal prints!!!

wear a funny hat

If you can find miracle rice/miracle noodles, they are very filling (they're pretty much all fiber), so I would do miracle rice with alfredo-type sauce (mostly cream cheese and other cheese). Also, boursin cheese is yummy and super filling. When I crave something sweet and snacky I whip heavy cream with a bit of sweetner…

Cuban food is delicious! I live in South Florida, which is practically North Cuba, and I picked up a lot of Cuban and Latin American recipes. Pulled pork, camarones del ojo, ropa vieja, picadillo... so much deliciousness. I won't even start on cafecito, although I drink it with fake sugar instead of the real cane stuff.…

Goal re-cap: 1. Under 30 total carbs daily 2. Run 3+ times a week, with at least two interval runs 3. Pre-planned meals with restaurant food only twice a week 4. Restrict my shopping to 1X week large shopping trip and 2 small trips through the week 1. Totally accomplished so far, though I cannot vouch for Thursday 2. I am…

The Man, who is low carbing with me, and I went to the local TJ Maxx yesterday. He found some jeans, but they didn't have it in his usual size (36). I urged him to try the smaller size, just for giggles. He grabbed the 34's, and went off into the fitting room. When he danced back out, not only did they fit - they were…

I'm going to jump on the private bandwagon. I wasn't even aware of drama, and I'm not the biggest fan of drama. I stay out of the main forums, and would rather the drama, trolls and ickyness stays out of here.

Vodka or rum plus diet cherry coke, a wine spritzer (4oz red wine, 4 oz either soda water or diet sprite), or, like this one alcoholic dude I know, squeeze your sugar-free water flavor drops into vodka and chug.I'm also tempted to try making jello shots with sugar free jello.

I needed to wear jeans to work today, so yesterday I went to the local store to pick up a non-ripped pair that actually fits. I tried on a few size six's, and a few size eights. They all fit fine (except a pair with a funky zipper), but they had a really low waist that was a bit loose. The one size eight was the only pair…
