I'm just starting to really explore recipes that I find on either Pinterest or blogs. But of the ones I listed the Dijon Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops were PHENOMENAL also the bacon cheddar cauliflower rice.

Zoodles, mini bell peppers and mini cucumbers with avocado basil sauce

Chicken Fajita Bake with Mexican Cauliflower Rice with one who avocado and some sour cream

@Sarahb29 those look so good. I actually have something like that Swiss Chicken bake in my pins so I'm going to try that soon.

Also checking out the Keto Summit right now while I'm work!

Had the most amount of MCT this morning in the shortest timeframe ever. I think I have a pretty high tolerance for it as I have not had to go to the bathroom yet and I don't feel crampy or anything. I had 2 Tbsp in my BPC along with 1 Tbsp grassfed butter, 2 tsp heavy whipping cream, stevia and cinnamon. Also added 1 Tbsp…

It's great being around like-minded people. My roommate is the only person I can talk to my diet about who has the slightly understanding and support (she eats whole30). No one else in my life understands low carb and especially not keto. So I would really be struggling if not for this group as well as the keto group which…

@Sunny_Bunny_ that's awesome and seems pretty easy to calculate. Are you blood glucose and blood ketone measurement tools the same device or are they two separate devices. I have only ever measure my ketones with ketostix so not super reliable and does not output a number of any kind. Do tools that read your blood hurt?…

I get the same comments from my mother and coworkers and I just keep telling them the dietary information we were programmed with when we were coming up in grade school about the food pyramid and the correlation between fat and heart disease are just plain incorrect and debunked. I also tell them that most general…

Yea there are many factors. My allergies were really bad last night and this morning. I have a new roommate and a dog that I'm slightly allergic too (never been allergic to a dog before until now). The migraines could be originating from that but the tingling and eye sensation happened a few weeks ago before the dog moved…

I've been having the worst headaches when waking up this week. Not sure if the bulletproof coffee is causing it or helping it. I've started drinking BPC again in the mornings around 8-8:30. My headaches are gone by 9:30 but it may be because I'm more awake or it may be because of the BPC. But every morning they are there…

Macros for today (if I can stick to my dinner plans, that's where I usually seem to stray). Let me just say my carbs are NEVER this low. I usually get 30-40 g net but working on staying around 20-30 g. It is very difficult for me.

I love the idea of having a common goal date and posting our daily macros. I'll be in a wedding in one month from now and I know it's a little late to see any major progress since I just started on keto again. I'm hoping to drop 4 lbs by October 20. All my water weight seems to have shed right now since I've been eating…

Great thread. Good luck and I'll be popping in and out to check your progress!

The "Thank You for Registering Page" told me the summit starts at 6:00 am EST on Sunday September 25 and goes until October 5. Every day at midnight you are sent a new link to all of the videos for that day, all previous videos expire so if you missed them then you missed them (unless someone finds a way to save them and…

Potatos and rice. I still miss pasta, making due the best I can with spiraled veggies but potato and rice I do not miss like I thought I would. I do really miss bananas though.

Still struggling to lower my protein levels. I like a hearty portion of meat in my meals.

Yes, even if you are intermittent fasting, coffee and tea with calorie free sweetener only or purely black will not kick you out of IF. If you add butter, heavy cream, MCT oil or anything else then it will kick you out of IF (but not ketosis!). I also drink BPC coffee with said ingredients but I am going to give IF a shot…

@Marty19666 I've read your diary for the past week and, unless you are not tracking everything, you are very far under your calorie goals (by 400-750). Also, in almost every case I saw, your protein is way over your fat, sometimes even by double. Add more fat to your diet. Try BPC in the morning.

Tried an almond butter bread recipe this weekend. It was almond butter, eggs and baking soda. Texture was fine, a tadddddddd eggy but doable. The taste though, oh the taste was disgusting. Took two bites and through out the entire loaf. The quest continues.

I will add you. I need the accountability as well. I know keto works, I did it hardcore for just a few weeks and lost a lot of weight (a lot of water at first but also a lot of fat that I have kept off). I fell over due to traveling for work, out of town guests coming to stay for several days at a time, and also traveling…

Love MCT oil (liquid form) for BPC and dressing. Trying to find new ways to use it. Tried frying eggs once in it and it didn't really work, moved on to ghee now and bacon grease for that. But MCT oil as a powder...how is that possible? I guess as @KnitOrMiss stated with very heavy processing. I would honestly avoid that.

Need you to explain. I eat applewood smoked bacon but the package still says 0 carbs.

I actually think what I was making was called "cloud bread" so that's my mistake. Perhaps I will have to try soul bread. I'm pretty sure that's what it was. So lesson-learned OP...do not make CLOUD bread if you don't want an eggy recipe.

I found my two soul bread recipes I tried to be VERY eggy. To the point you bite in and can hear/see that it has a very wet, spongy texture. The photos never look like it but the bread is too moist for me, and not in a good way.

I have pretty vivid dreams while transitioning into ketosis and pretty good sleep quality. I think if you are having nightmares, it might be because you are actually remembering your dreams and they are very vivid regardless of whether the dreams are positive or negative. I feel if they are negative dreams then it is a…

I have some of this in my pantry, I will test it out with a tbsp on yogurt first so to not waste it in case it doesn't work out. I think peanut butter and yogurt sounds kind of yuck to me even though I love both individually.

Nothing wrong with being a sorority girl though I don't know the relevance of the original comment at all in this thread. Perhaps alwaysinpursuit is just another silly frat guy.

I'm confused about this statement Why does eating more that 1800 calories per day mean you would be a big person if you did. That's obviously something mental if you fear eating more calories when your body is in fact telling you that you need more. Also, if you have been gaining muscle then your metabolism is going to be…

I agree with Bunny in regards to ketosis. I do keto and have a firm limit of 30 g NET carbs. I think my body can tolerate about 31-35 only if it's every now and then (like once a week) next to a day of lower carbs (around 28 g). If I do 31-35 several days in a row it will kick me out of ketosis. I also have to offset those…
