My diary is open to everyone. But you may also add me as a friend if you like

Pork chop cooked sous vide then seared in screaming hot cast iron

I get the “better than xxxxx” brand. Fill in xxxxx with pasta, rice or noodle. They travel well and are super easy to cook. They are not as off putting (stinky) as other brands I’ve tried. I like to use the rice one as a side dish sometimes. That handsome man I married says they are weird but not terrible. Lol

Oh my. This looks delish

Kinda sounds like PSMF. Proceed with caution. I agree with @kirkor

I too like swerve. Be aware it can have a cooling effect on the tongue. Ok if you make ice cream. Kinda weird in a cookie. Lol

@KnitOrMiss sure. The symptoms can be generic and common. The disease itself is extremely rare. I think at the time They found it there were only 400k folks that had it worldwide. They found it by accident, as most mastocytosis diagnoses are. It’s generally not something they look for. They’ll check for things like Lupus…

I too get histamine-like reactions to things like wine, beer...but mine is due to mastocytosis (a mast cell disorder). it sucks, but that's why Tito started making Vodka.

Fat is a variable. Set your protein as sunny suggested. Protein is a must. Set yourself a carb ceiling. I.e., 20g (you choose) Fill in with fat as necessary, to satisfy, keeping in mind the less fat you put in your mouth, the more that will come off your butt-or wherever it comes off from. I wouldn’t stress about calories…

My diary is open. I love to cook and try different things. Last night was oxtail over spinach with cauliflower mash. Mmm mmm

I make my own plain yogurt :) I use Hwc. It’s delish and not difficult especially if you have an ip. It has a yogurt button. I have a yogurt maker but my sis and daughter both use their ip. The cool part is you know exactly what goes into it. We also use it as sour cream. That nice man I married doesn’t even question.

Welcome!

*lurk* *lurk*

also, try making your own mayo with egg, lemon/lime juice, mustard, salt and avocado oil. delish!

cream cheese spread on hard salami slices. buffalo egg salad (add blue cheese and hot sauce to your fave recipe) - eat with pork rinds. nut butter macaroons....almond butter+butter, melted - add shredded organic coconut, stevia (sweetener of choice), cocoa powder if desdired, and chopped macadamia nuts/pecans...drop by…

you may add me if you like. i fade in and out due to travel, but am a fairly strong resource :)

My goals: Stay on plan. Stay in a state of measurable ketosis (blood ketones) - in this i know my glucose is in control. Start walking again so i can finish this damn 28hr audiobook i downloaded....in my lifetime. Take my meds and supps consistently. Funny thing about brain fog....you forget stuff. Now where was I...... :)

oh yes yes and grr yes! I dumped over 4lbs initially on my restart a couple of weeks ago, and then poof went up 4, in like a day so meh. it comes it goes....it goes. definitely do the pics and measurements...and note how your clothes feel on you. not so tight this week? maybe looser in one area or another (that you'd least…

Make your own. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/189930/southern-pimento-cheese/ Its super easy, and you have control over the types of cheeses you put in. Sometimes I add diced jalapenos, or bacon, or smoked gouda....on and on. Don't want to use store bought mayo? Make your own.....again super easy, and you get to choose…

If you eat scrambled eggs, instead of having 2 eggs, try 1 egg and 1 egg yolk scrambled together, perhaps in coconut oil... I like that for lunch on weekends, sitting on top of a serving of cottage cheese. mm mm goodness. Avocados are wonderful. salmon is too.

I don't know what your situation is, but relationships can be hard hard hard. They can mess with the head, mess with the heart and soul. Here is to hoping that you get back in the business of loving *yourself* right quick :smile:

Am on travel for work this week, but having a great trip so far. Good focus, sleeping/eating well. Nice blood ketone levels between 1.5-2.0. Lets have a great keto day peeps!

i make bone broth regularly, I'll heat some up, put it in my magic bullet with some added sea salt, butter, coconut oil and a touch of HWC. whip it up. its really quite good.

Sounds like you are doing really well. Best of luck on continued success!

!! As a gadget person this has me so intrigued!!

Avocados are one of my fave keto snacks - i use them more like a meal...i.e., breakfast or lunch. Friday I made my husband a pizza for pizza night, and for myself i baked off some chicken thighs. Last night i made some tenderloin steak tips for us, and roasted him a small pan of potatoes and me a small pan of radishes.…

Thank you! Just got my copy :wink:

Last year saw me losing 46/47 lbs....I would like to continue that trend and add in strength training as I'm able.
