Very cute! Also, I didn't know you could ring them up as sides. I want a side of 5 sausage patties please! All with cheese. haha... I love those. A big mac lettuce wrapped in a bowl sounds perfect.

I have a couple! I'm adventuring into baking and cooking with almond flour. On Saturday I made my first batch of low carb almond flour pancakes - I liked them better than the cream cheese pancakes! I had them with 4 pieces of bacon and 3 small sausages. Best breakfast I've had in awhile and I didn't feel hungry after that…

Almonds are my go-to!!

If I had to choose a pre-made pizza this is my only low carb option: https://www.atkins.com/products/frozen-meals/pizza/stone-fired-cheese-pizza Otherwise it's all 100% homemade pizza for me! I've made fathead pizza, cauliflower pizza and flattened out a chicken breast and put pizza toppings on that, lol. Fathead pizza is…

My scale hasn't been moving as much as I'd like it to this month either, so on top of the excellent advice from others here I'll add that it's important that you think about your NSVs as much as your SVs. They can be anything that has positively impacted your diet and your body. Examples would be fitting into a smaller…

There's no picture. What did you find?

I don't think it had any effect on my cycle, not that I noticed anyway. There's stories on Reddit in /r/xxketo where it affected some people and they just toughed it out for a few months while their bodies adjusted, IIRC. Daily weighing gives me a heads up though when shark weeks about to hit. A 1-2lb fluctuation every day…

Crockpot zucchini lasagna sounds AWESOME

249 - WTG @PaleoInScotland !

I agree with @moonlights, finding a new "milk" product takes some getting used to for sure and some brands taste better than others. I didn't like unsweetened almond milk much at first but since it was my only option for low carb I just forced myself to not drink milk at all, and then when I *really* had to have some I'd…

Battle scars that happen throughout this process ;) The dreaded arm wings and all sorts of stretch marks in places you didn't know there would be stretch marks. I apply lotion to my arms and stomach every other day, I have no idea if it helps with sagging skin but it helps my skin recover from stretch marks. I figure the…

5ft 7 Sw: 308 Cw: 250 Gw: 150 I finally seen 250 for the first time since.. well, since before I had my daughter, so about 4 years ago. Today's both a SV and a NSV!

I'm not going to go into fact-check mode here and have another debate about keto and low carb diets. It's obvious they work and are especially helpful to diabetics. If you're looking for a keto community, there's a great low carb group here already linked above. The members are helpful and can help you with your questions.…

I switched from Keto to low carb but plenty of my meals could fit into a keto diet. What do you have trouble with? Staying on track? Meal ideas? I find if I cook a lot ahead of time it makes things easier for a few days so I don't have to constantly prep something every night. I have a huge bucket of pre-washed lettuce…

Hi Mandy, welcome to the group and enjoy your time here :) Atkins/Keto/Low carb are all fairly similar with just different restrictions around carbs. You'll find loads of resources and everyone here will help you if you get stuck.

Are you implying there is a "correct the record" type of group for the sugar association that combs health and fitness boards trying to debunk anyone saying that sugar is bad? Interesting. That's a scary thought.

This is why younger generations turn to the internet for answers. You can't trust what's in the mainstream media anymore, it's all bought and paid for by corporations and outside interests. I'm so thankful to Reddit /r/keto and this MFP community for helping me along my journey and providing some real knowledge. All the…

@FIT_Goat with all the good food hacks!

Wait - you can get rid of rosacea?! I thought it wasn't curable and nothing could be done about it! Here I am slathering on make up so I don't look like freaking pikachu everyday. I have very fair skin and burn easily so I've had this since I was 12 or 13 :(

I'd use it for a cheat meal or work it into your macros especially since it's your first experience. You're in for a big treat! I always recommend butter chicken to everyone trying Indian food for the first time, but I also like chicken korma as well. Neither of those are spicy either. Enjoy!!

Can you have protein bars about 2-3 hours before you go to bed? - I do, I don't think the times matter but I'm not doing fasting or anything special. I eat them mostly when I need to get a protein boost and am feeling hungry. For QuestBar eaters, what are you favorite flavors? If you heat them up, for how long? - Double…

Laura I went the opposite direction - I'm from NS and moved out west to Seattle. I'll add you!

Bonjour from Seattle! From NS!

Great explanation, thanks @Sunny_Bunny_ !

Wait a second - do you have celiac disease? My buddy that has celiac, he went to see a naturopath and they also told him he had to eliminate dairy. It completely messed up his gut and gut bacteria. I'm wondering if this is a common issue with celiac disease. More info I found:…

So how do you go about curing this disorder then? Or is it cured when people start exercising and eating better with a goal to lose weight, but inadvertently cure this disorder which in turn causes weight loss? I don't know much about metabolic disorders so I am lost on this subject.

This isn't directly related to your story but it reminded me of my own experience with intolerance's. I remember one time my greedy little 8 or 9 year old self was at some get together at the neighbors and they had Timbits (doughnut holes). A LOT of them. I loved chocolate ones so I went around and ate almost all of the…

Wow, sounds wonderful. Can the metabolic disorder created from being overweight for so long be cured, or is this truly a disability that we all have to live with and manage now? I am pre-diabetic so I'm now wondering since we've proven LCHF and Keto both cure T2 diabeties, what about the damage done to our metabolism? Is…

It's a healthy fat that has many uses but isn't a miracle cure if that's what you're asking. I use it for cooking and as a massage oil. Here's a bunch of uses: http://wellnessmama.com/5734/101-uses-for-coconut-oil/

UGH tell me about it @Sabine_Stroehm ! And people are tricked every day into thinking it's healthy. How terrible is that?
