Now you've got me dreaming of home made Arrabbiata sauce, @psuLemon.

I agree about the protein, make sure you are getting enough for your body to repair itself and protein can also help with satiety too. If you want to watch your calories too (and yes, it does matter to fat loss) there is nothing wrong with adding low fat protein to your plan. Protein doesn't always have to be cheese and…

@psulemon, I've been afraid of lamb for most of my life, lol. I had a manky tasting lamb dish at a restaurant once (tasted like licking a sheep), but had wonderful lamb chops cooked by my FIL with a garlic clove tucked inside each chop. My FIL's lamb was bought from a local farmer and the sheep were well looked after with…

You might also have reactions to the gums used to hold GF foods together like xanthan, etc. Might be worth checking on.... Also those with celicac disease are more likely to have digestive reactions to dairy products. Something to keep in mind. In the US and Canada, if something is labelled GF it must have been tested for…

Pumpkin....yes, me too (@Megan_smartiepants1970) lol.

@theabroma2016 , I agree, the mental stuff is the hardest. Let's face it, lots of our friends arrange their lives around eating (eating for celebrations, meeting with friends, etc) and fitting into that life without doing all the eating (at a time we don't need it) can be tough. Especially with tough emotions pushing us in…

@ginamyrmel did you use the 'breaded' fish for fish tacos with the Carb Counter tortillas? I really miss a good fish taco!

Since you are dealing with health issues that affect your choice of exercise and how hard you can work out, I'd start off with making sure your food plan supports weight loss. I used to be a fitness and physio rehab professional (pre auto-immune disease diagnosis) and it IS true that 'weight loss (fat loss) is in the…

Hi @PatriciaNeves2015 since you are a senior, you might want to join our sub-forum https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/112128-low-carber-daily-ladies-over-50 It's an invite group so the mods can add you. Lots of supportive friends there who may be dealing with 'mature life' issues the youngsters may not 'get.' :D I…

I think there's quite a few of us LC'ers who also intermittently fast. I've been doing it for years (I'm 57), actually most of my life. I never ate breakfast even in school and presently I do 18:6 or 20:4 depending on my work schedule. My eating window is a bit different from most IF'ers though. I eat dinner at 9pm when I…

Lovely cooler evening weather with a couple of rainy nights, so Evac Alerts and Orders for our local fires are rescinded as things begin to get under control. The assisting Mexican bomberos and Australian firefighters are headed home this week - a huge thumbs-up for the extra help!

Just another idea.... could you share a grocery order with a friend who lives nearby? Maybe by adding to their regular order you could just do an e-transfer to them for payment and not have to order a certain dollar amount. I've shared community food box deliveries with another friend here so that we don't end up with too…

Our kitty, Lily has taken over our favorite leather lounge chair, and we are too soft hearted to push her off of it most of the time. I did buy her a barrel style bed she can lay on top of (kinda like a hammock) or hide inside of, all fuzzy and plush, but we need to cut back on her food. She is starting to get a bit too…

Hi everybody! They did a backburn yesterday on our fire and overnight it rained pretty heavy, so although we aren't yet off Evac Alert, we should be able to relax soon. Now we just have to deal with this 4th wave of Delta Covid spreading like wildfire among the 20-40 y.o. un/partially vaccinated population who are also…

Here I am again....serious family health issues including major surgery and cancer diagnosis for my DH - fallen off the wagon a bit with alcohol and cassava tortilla chips and huge portions of cheese. Focus this month on getting enough water, taking the time to bring healthy food with me to eat on the fly at work, taking…

I just like the term 'judgy drama,' lol. I'm in on a couple private FB groups, one of which grew out of a few of us who ate the same way posting on 3FatChicks. If you think MFP is retro, you gotta see 3FatChicks. Retro I happen to like because it's much simpler. Especially since I use a desktop for all these sites and…

Metabolism does change as you age. But if you lost and then regained the weight not too long ago, you shouldn't see much of a difference in the difficulty of losing that weight.

Another idea is to buy a tub of plant based protein powder and berries fresh or frozen to make breakfast smoothies with. The protein powder isn't cheap but lasts for a very long time and will pad out your grocery bill.

Maybe you could buy extra of your healthy plant based foods and store/prepare/freeze them. Buy more fresh veg and chop/blanch if necessary/freeze. Or extra cans of lentils & beans. Packages/bags of quinoa, seitan, tofu, quorn, etc. can often be stored in the fridge for quite a while. Packages of nuts and seeds if you are…

I get my Carbonaut from a couple of local health food stores and also one of the larger chain grocery stores here in western Canada. I wasn't sure where you are based, so I just gave you their bakery website in case it's available in your area. :D

I used to eat WASA Crisps before I found out I had Celiac disease. I think they are yummy and miss those and the Rye Crispbreads. Right now I eat Carbonaut Multigrain-seed bread. Low in carb and Gluten Free. https://carbonaut.co/product-category/gluten-free/

Hubby got called on short notice for his scheduled surgery, 1 1/2 days notice :o so he had to run around madly getting a chest x-ray at our local hospital, Covid test at the Health Unit, blood draw and ECG at the lab. Surgery was a success and I'm very glad that he is home now after 5 days in hospital. They have a 130%…

@Megan_smartiepants1970: sounds like you are getting enough sodium, but maybe check on your magnesium and potassium levels...?

Sad to hear about your cousin's cute kitty. Looks young too. :( We are headed out of town for a 2 night getaway so our friend down the road is taking care of our Lily at our house. A bit nerve wracking as we have so many fires around here and were almost evacuated on July 1 from a very close one; the crews with copters and…

I am SOOOO OVER the skinny leg, lo-rise jeans. Trying to find a nice bootcut, or wideleg that doesn't cost a fortune right now. With a proper waist height (cuts 15lbs off your appearance.)

I've done all kinds of jobs - wherever a whim takes me. Baker, Librarian, Certified Fitness Instructor/Personal Trainer/Physio Rehab (over 25 yrs), Event Security (worked 2010 Olympics, Sturgis North and assorted other Music Festivals, licensed with MPPIA for security on TV and Motion Picture shoots), City and Government…

Trying out a new kind of Keto GF bread called Carbonaut. It only has 1g carb and isn't really that high in fat because it's made with resistant starch. Quite yummy when toasted, a bit more chewy/doughy if eaten untoasted, covered with lots of seeds like sunflower and poppyseed. Costs about $10 a loaf though, but at least…

I love spaghetti squash, especially cold with a good Greek Vinaigrette dressing and lots of pepper freshly ground on top. I did mention a while ago that I would put up my pheasant egg photos. I managed to load them from my phone onto my desktop, but I HATE windows 10 with a passion as it likes to take my photos and…

Hi and welcome @gillylucky13. We used to have a Rhodesian Ridgeback many years ago but we travel too much and a dog is more dependent on its pack for comfort and companionship that a cat is, so now we've got a cat.
