  • Nutritional Cholesterol doesnt affect body cholesterol levels just like fat doesn't make you fat. Check out Dr. BERG on Youtube. He has tons of videos on keto, cholesterol, ratios, meal plans, body types, benefits of keto.

  • Mission Low Carb tortillas are great. I lost 50 lbs in 30 months and the bean and cheese quesadillas with those tortillas were my lunch pretty much everyday!

  • Take everything you've ever heard about eggs and throw it in the circular file also known as the garbage. You can safely eat 2 eggs a day (I have been doing it for years.)There are actually more positive benefits to eating eggs than negative effects. What we once thought was bad cholesterol is actually good cholesterol.…

  • Hi hun- Sorry to hear about your allergies. I know that can really narrow down your options until you can get creative. I became GF 4 years ago due to a seriously painful intolerance and Diverticulosis that is triggered by wheat and other grains. I use spaghetti squash for my pasta. It tastes so much better than those…

  • I eat walnuts, bbq pork rinds or 1/2 an avocado to increase fat without really increasing the protein or carbs. If you like any of those, they are a great staple for the Keto Lifestyle. I incorporate them into my meal plan EVERYDAY! I make a guacamole and use the pork rinds for my chips. I also do tuna salad boats with the…

  • Beach Cliff sardines are so delicious. I get the sardines in soybean oil with green chilies. You can get them for about $1.00 at Walmart or order them on Amazon if you don't live near a Walmart. They are great on saltine crackers but since I am gluten intolerant now I just eat them straight out of the can. They have a…

  • I had that scare when I was 37. The doctors office was right next door to a Baskin Robbins ice cream parlor. I remember going back to my car after I got the news and just crying my eyes out thinking I'll never be able to have chocolate or ice cream or cookies ever again and I thought to myself what's the point of living?!…

  • Anything that has lots of protein such as string cheese or nuts are great snacks because the protein keeps you full longer because it takes longer to digest than carby snacks. Bonus: Protein doesn't affect blood sugar levels either so you won't get that high and then crash ( which is important when you need to stay alert…
