I noticed this too, thought it was just me!

I love my Green Smoothies. I'm a low-carber, so I don't use as much fruit. I usually use one really ripe banana, an avocado, greens, celery, cucumber and yummy unsweetened coconut milk (the canned stuff, not the fridge stuff). And split this up for 3 days worth of smoothie. They do indeed keep you very full for awhile, and…

I use the cream part of the canned coconut milk (the asian versions seem to be thicker, don't shake it up, the cream will be on top, very thick and creamy). I use the liquid part in green smoothies.

I'm 5'3" also, and right now I'm in the 230ish range (I haven't weighed in awhile, it's counter-productive for me), I lost weight before doing WW Core and got down to about 170 and looked and felt great at that weight. Not all of us look good at 130 lbs. No one can ever believe I weigh as much as I do. I guess some of us…

Okay, my favorite pre-LCHF treat was an almond joy, but I always wished they'd made them dark chocolate instead of milk. Any ideas of how to put together a coconut, almond, dark cocoa and sea salt fat bomb that wouldn't be too high in carbs? I've made the dark bark with coconut oil and cocoa but I know the coconut and…

Can anyone suggest a good DVD for martial arts/ combat type workout? I have one old Billy Blanks Tae Bo and P90X Kenpo, Either of those apply?

Making a commitment to my grown daughter to start a 30 day arms workout challenge and plank challenge and actually being able to perform 10 triceps dips.. an exercise that has always been impossible for me!

I coupon, so I often buy 6 or 12 of something instead of just one or two... and those things are often not things you would normally freeze, I bought some almond breeze unsweetened almond/coconut milk blend (okay alot, it was a great sale). All I did was pour out about 1/2 cup from each to allow for expansion when it froze…

Hilariously, a day or two after I posted this, we were hit with a "huge" winter storm that dumped about 6 inches of snow and an inch of ice on us. Unheard of in Southeast NC. But it's all melting away this weekend. Yes I love to garden in cycles so I have something going on in the spring, summer and fall. With flowers and…

Thanks for your response, I will try taking the monitor with me to work so I can check what the level actually is when I get "that feeling", maybe it is just something I need to fight through. And I'll discuss with my doc at the next appointment. Haven't had it happen again since the other day but I have been working to…

My doc actually approves of a low carb/ keto diet to help my hypoglycemia, joint pain and fibromyalgia. When I started last time I did okay, but I wasn't going as low on the carb counts, I was still eating fruit and higher carb veggies like tomatoes and carrots which I have been avoiding like a plague this time around. Up…

If anyone would like to add me on facebook, I'm Veronica Ann Davis in Pink Hill NC. I think it'll help me be accountable to have my teammates on there.

I'd much rather work out in the mornings, too. I work nights, usually getting off anywhere from 2:30 am to 4:30 am. When I get off later it's actually easier to do something because I will come home (30 min commute) go ahead and get my workout in at home, fix a little breakfast, get the kids up and off to school and THEN…

Okay, love the title "Meat" and Greet... LOL I'm Veronica, 35 yr old mom, wife, WALKING DEAD Freak, artist (not by profession but I wish). I work nights so I don't usually get to see the episode until Monday morning :( So I hope my friends won't post spoilers! I'm gonna push myself and join Team Daryl, 240 mins is only 4…

Guilty as charged. If not for my metal and hard rock, I'd never make it through my miles. Feel free to add me here and/or on facebook if you'd like. Veronica Ann Davis.

That was my thinking as well, I know I have always done better when I eat very simply. A meat or other protein source, veggies and adequate fats and just avoid carbs, period. "Carb Creep" is an evil thing.

I didn't really plan the first time I tried Keto.. and well, I think that was the coffin nail that got me off track when the holidays and my crazy (or even crazier, I should say) work schedule came about this fall. That's the biggest reason I joined myfitnesspal this time around was to plan my meals a few days in advance.…

Amen, Sister!

You really must have a boring job! LOL Thanks for putting all the "science-y" stuff into layman's terms. I have done much research on my own and though I'm no dummy, it is nice to see it all laid out and simplified. You really cleared up things for me and have given many great resources for even more info. Carbs can go die…

Re-starting Keto/LCHF this friday, can really use some support. I might ask stupid questions, so be patient with me :)
