I belong to a local CSA and have uncured, nitrate free - pasture raised bacon delivered monthly. It's more expensive, but the quality of the meats and having products delivered to my door makes it totally worth it. Why eat fake when real is so delicious?

the occasional fruit isn't going to hurt too much either. An apple is 14 carbs. I have my go-to fruits whenever I crave sweets. - my breakfast, 2 hardboiled eggs and an apple. Coffee with heavy cream. today's lunch - take-out at a mediteranian place. a greek salad, with a small side of Moussakka and humus. (yum). Dinner…

why not add more veggies? the carb count in veggies are not all out crazy, and you may find that you'll appreciate more variety than just meat and eggs for a long-haul meal plan. I never have a problem getting more than enough calories - but, I don't like to count them daily. It's more to keep making positive choices. Keep…

My t25 is on a truck and out for delivery. So excited to start exercising again. Wish the postman would arrive already.

well, I love cheesecake factory. I don't go there often, and these days I try to stick to a healthy salad when I do. yesterday, my chopped salad at lunch (from them) - with blue cheese, bacon, apple, romaine, corn, and a vinegraitte dressing (logged in as 2 meals- because I couldn't eat it all at one sitting) and about 500…

I am not in ketosis, but I do try to limit my carbs to 100 g. - I make a protein shake that goes with one of the vitamins I take - and, I like to add a peice of fruit to flavor it. In Ketosis, you wouldn't be eating fruit because one peice would be just about all the carbs you'd be allowed for the day. - A lot of people…

carb free treats? ... are really limited to cheese and meat. low carb treats that will keep you in ketosis? maybe some veggies will fall into that catagory. The word treat usually means savory or sweet though... and then that means looking at cooking, possibly using cocoa? or stevia? ... I don't think there's many treats…

Well, fact is - you're friend's husband is proof that you wouldn't want to be in her shoes married to him. He's an idiot to stereotype people by age and say we're fated to such-n-such ending. Find your happiness within you, and then if the right person comes along that you want to share your happy space with - go for it.…

I love nut butters... it's hard to not just sit with a spoon and feast... I currently have a bottle of cashew butter at work and that's my go-to snack... Yes, it's good for us, but be do need to be cautious of limits. 2 tablespoons - could easily become so much more (especially when I don't put them on bread... ) all those…

I love the idea of putting money in a jar to collect for the final wardrobe. :) What a great motivator to know that you can have a shopping splurge of a full wardrobe... instead of going a few outfits at a time as we lose...

Fantastic results! You're looking good!

The quickest sugar fix ever: a half teaspoon of rough-honey. I love honey, actually. It's relatively low cal, and for the intense sweetness, it's actually fairly low sugar too. And, a teaspoon on the tongue will go a long way towards satisfying the sweet-tooth since it does taste so intensely sweet.

what was the nutritional counts on it? ...

well... that's why cottage cheese was used in the cake... it took out the oil element.

also too ... I used cottage cheese .. but I am one of those folks that just throws things in. If I had it -I'd also use sour-cream or greek yogurt. I like to experiment with recipes. I read a lot of them, but rarely do I follow one from start to finish...

I made cauliflower chicken shiritaki pasta with sundried tomato pesto (and a sprinkling of parmesian)... last night. SOOOOO good. 1 bag frozen cauliflower. 1 bag shiritaki noodles 2 rotisserie chicken breasts (chopped) 1 small jar - sundried tomato pesto (I used Priano brand). cheese before serving... comes out to 2…

there are lots of recipes for low-carb cakes too... I attempted a chocolate cake, but I hadn't put in enough sugar - so, after the first slices ... the rest was turned into chocolate toast. it was actually pretty yummy even without the sugar. Very intense chocolate. ... and probably would have been to die for with a…

I keep a bottle of unsweetened cashew butter and a bag of almonds in my desk drawer, and a bag of some nuts online fruit/nut type chews/to small to be bars... I very irregularly bring in fruit, or a dessert (for sweet-tooth moments)... my cravings are usually more salt based than sugar.

The fact of the matter is that in regards to insurance companies, as mentioned in the article, they can not tell from paperwork whether an overweight person is healthy or not. They only have numbers, and draw from statistics that most would be unhealthy if overweight (not exercising regularly) or maintaining a healthy…

Honey. Sorry. My brain sometimes works to fast, and my fingers forget to type in the rest...

I should probably state ... the cashews were .75 cup, before grinding...

I made an easy one recently.... I ground .75 cup cashew. Added .75 cup sesame seed. and mixed with almost .75 cup (about 3 teaspoons left in the cup... ) Mix it all together well, then scoop about a tablespoon worth into mini-cupcake wrappers... top each one with a whole cashew and a sprinkle of sea-salt. Refrigerate until…

I love sauteed cabbage with either pork or ground sausage, flavor in the pan with some spicy mustard, lots of black pepper and a bit of salt... yummy.

or for an on-the-go treat ... Larabars... had one today that was dates, unsweetened coconut, ground nuts, and coconut oil. Totally delicious...

you can always add a large salad to one of your meals, a few strips of bacon crumbled on top and that will give you a bit added fat and protein. And the salad doesn't really add that much, carb wise. I almost always go over in calories on the days when I snack on nuts. Love them, but be cautious because as an every day…

Yes, I do this. I just put in an order for a dress that's a size 16. It was on sale and of a summery fashion so I'm hoping by Summer that it'll fit. I've got about 30 lbs to lose to make that happen - though.

Ok, - you got to eat. the idea that if you don't eat, you'll get that perfect body - is a wrong one. You're going to make yourself sick before you lose what you want to. It's better to eat, to have energy to exercise, and be healthy - than to not eat, have no energy, and become sickly. this weight doesn't come on quick,…

Up until a month ago, I was in the weight room... and it's a good place to be. Choose a routine like Stronglifts 5x5. Research the 5 moves so you know what you're doing when you get into the gym... and choose a time that will make it so you don't have to compete as much for the equipment. then go to it. It doesn't take a…
