Quick/Easy Meals for LCHF
I was hoping to start a thread that people can look at for the 'I'm hungry and don't feel like cooking much' kind of meal. A lot of LC recipes look really good, but I don't want to spend more than 15 mins cooking when I'm in that frame of mind. So this is what I found this week and it works for me. Sort-of Taco Brown up…

Adding IF to my plan
I've been fascinated with intermittent fasting for months now. But I never really thought I could do it. After all, I was having a hard enough time just restricting my carbs, how could I just NOT eat. I read Fung's book and watched a few podcasts and just decided to start doing it a bout a week ago. I have done a couple…

Whipped cream dispenser
Hi everyone, I'm looking for ideas on things I can make with my new whipped cream dispenser. I have gotten to the point that whipped cream in a can is too sweet (normal sugar) and wanted to make my own with whatever sweetener I want. So, plain whipped cream and a chocolate one are on my to do list. Any other ones?

Day 4(again) and struggling
This just sucks. I'm completely convinced that Keto is what is best and what I should do, but getting on it and staying on it just sucks the first two weeks. Day one and two are fine. Three is kinda crummy, but day 4.... it just sucks. I am so close to giving up, again. I'm grumpy and just annoyed. How do people do it? How…

I'm aiming for a healthy…

Week 2 Brain Fog Sucks!!
