  • I make mug cakes with protein powder. https://theproteinchef.co/healthy-low-carb-protein-mug-cake-recipe/
  • If I am under my calorie goal or exercised more I have a treat meal once a week. Today is my treat meal day, wing night! I'm fasting all day until dinner. If you have a whole "cheat day" you might consume all your banked calories over the whole week in one day. At least I know I would..
  • Oh and if he likes ice cream, he will love any meat based "popsicle" you make him! You could put tinned dog food in a small old container or ice cube tray you don't use and freeze it.. and whenever he wants an ice cream give him one of those suckers. That'll keep him busy lol.
  • @Foamroller I 100% agree with that - I've seen peoples pets turn completely around eating a raw or 100% meat based diet. Even their coats got shinier. Most of the dry pet foods are awful and loaded with corn and additives. I mean, they're affordable, but not the best especially for older pets. I think even canned cat/dog…
  • Oh my goodness I need this in my life
  • That Lavish bread looks really good, I need to find it!
  • I'm in one of the low carb groups on Facebook and they push a lot of fat bombs there for some reason. Fat isn't a goal, you eat it until you feel full (imo), but they are convinced they all have to have one or two a night. I had two once and my skin completely broke out! I stay in there because I've found some good recipes…
  • I'd like to place an order please.. lol!
  • Wow 24 inches! Are you exercising at all or is it all from diet? Congrats! I keep worrying about the scale, it's driving me a little crazy so it's nice to hear people are losing more inches than lbs.
  • When you order a big mac for lunch while out shopping but forget to ask for a fork, so you eat the burger out of the bun bite by bite like a duck eating bread. This was me Sunday.
  • This is a really weird question to ask the internet. Ask your wife how she feels about it.
  • I loved the moby wrap things! Ahh they are so handy and my daughter loved being all cozy and wrapped up. Great NSV!!

  • Yup you get to have some flavor and not as many carbs. I'm sure some sweetness from the onion escapes but it can't be as much as if it was just left in. You can also get or make a spice pouch out of cheese cloth (similar to a bouquet garnis) and throw in your bay leaves, whole cloves of garlic, thyme, parsley or anything…
  • No, it would all rise to the top. You can add extra fat in by loading it with cheese, guac or full fat sour cream, or adding another fatty meat to it like ground sausage.
  • Alright I set myself up yesterday with a trip to Walmart - I bought an immersion blender for BPC! I haven't tried it out yet but I'm sure it's much quieter than a blender. I also got a waffle iron, a few things of 90% chocolate, natural PB (very low sugar) , sugar free strawberry jam, sugar free maple syrup.. a whole low…
  • Wow nice! I wonder if sweeteners are holding me back.. hmm. I'll have to cut way back on having them for awhile.
  • Big congrats! If you want to increase your HDL I've heard Avocados and olive oil will give you a boost. Real olive oil though, the good stuff :)
  • Quest bars are only 4 net carbs each and pack a good amount of protein, but they are pricey. If you're open to making your own I'm sure you could convert a normal bar recipe that contains mostly nuts into a keto recipe, just swap sweeteners for sugar free options. Amazon has sugar free honey and there's a lot of sugar free…
  • I didn't get your invites :(
  • I have some 99% lean turkey in my freezer too, but it's just for the protein boost. I have trouble getting enough protein in but no problems getting fats in, lol. It gets mixed in with fatty sausage ground meat and bacon for meatballs or keto chili :)
  • This is why I got the flex 2 - you can wear it on your bra or as a necklace to count steps. I don't always swing my arms so unless I start wearing watches on my feet there's no other watch that will work for me, lol. Here's what the Dashboard looks like for fitbit - it's pulled what I've logged in MFP for my lunch/dinner…
  • A lot of dog foods are filled with corn as their first ingredient, where it should be meat as the first ingredient. The corn food can cause them to be overweight and always hungry (sound familiar?). If he already has arthritis then the weight could be causing it to be worse and inflaming his joints. I heard the absolute…
  • If they are non-digestible carbs then yea go for the entry that lists it as 0 carb. I do the same with sugar alcohols, I choose the entries that say "minus sugar alcohols".
  • I've heard of people wearing a small fitbit like the flex and also wearing another smart watch beside it, so you're not crazy! They are so small that they can sorta blend in as a bracelet. I'll be doing something similar at times I'm sure with my flex 2 and my Samsung Gear S2. My Samsung watch will be mainly used for apps…
  • I had to buy a measuring tape because I'm at where you are, just ready to start losing again. Intermittent fasting helped me break through my last plateau but now I think my body is like "haha jk I've adjusted to this now" and isn't giving up any more. So now I'll take closer looks at my measurements instead of just…
  • OMG I need that in my cupboard.. STAT
  • I can't post pictures from my phone and can't link Instagram in forums! :(
  • If you "go crazy" now will he leave? lol
  • Yup, those are the ones! Check out the keto calculator on the dashboard or just google "keto calculator". The amount of protein is based on your age, gender, height, and weight so you'll have to customize it for you. Make sure when you drop 10-20lbs you go back to this calculator and re-calculate what these macros should…
