Monk Fruit Reviews?
This is a new type of sweetener I've not tried yet. If you tried it can you tell me what you thought? Especially if you are a diabetic? I'm seeing a lot if conflicting info online. The main issues seem to be: 1. It might raise blood sugar levels like sugar? 2. It has a bitter taste 3. It's not very sweet True?

Scale Woes
I absolutely hate my bathroom scale. I paid extra for this "super precise" one, and for months before I got it would only weigh at the doctors office on their giant one. Which never matched my at home weight. I can weigh four times a day having the same clothes on and weigh four different weights with a five pound…

Needed - Good Stroganoff Recipe?
A friend posted a stroganoff dinner the other day and since then I've been craving a good stroganoff with beef, mushrooms, onions, sour cream... Anyone have a good recipe for a LC beef stroganoff (hamburger is ok tho I'd really LOVE one with beef strips)? I can look them up online as well as anyone but I'd rather try one…

The Benefits of Habits
They say if you do something every day for a month it becomes a habit, good or bad. Who says this? IDK But I think it's got some truth. I hate eggs. I don't like the flavor and I don't like the texture and I could barely choke them down as a kid. But eggs are cheap. A bfast of a fried egg and coffee is cheap and fast and…

Keto Raspberry Cheesecakes
Ok, so I made these today cause they looked so good. I adapted the recipe a little. I used less sweetener and it's plenty sweet (5 tsp). I used almond extract and vanilla extract instead of just vanilla, which was a great idea - it's yummy. It also smells great! I didn't have two bricks of cream cheese, so I used one brick…

Bread Recipes and Problems With
The problem I have with low carb bread and muffin recipes is the repeatability of that hot from the oven goodness. I've found with both, they are AWESOME fresh out of the oven, in a small dose, but let it sit on the counter a few days or even hours, and cold, they are just meh. I need a small bread recipe I think. Any favs…

I Lost What . com
I've mentioned this website in passing but thought it might be fun to start a thread where you can upload pics from that site showing what you lose as time goes by. This is my current loss so far.

Non-disgusting Help Request
Made the most disgusting chicken last night but kudos to my husband he ate it and didn't complain (and even ate most of mine). Anyone have a decent tried and true recipe using chicken and sour cream? I have the frozen Tyson chicken breast you bake frozen (they were on sale).

Unique Dinner Date Ideas For Tonight Plz
Hubby just texted he wants to take me out to dinner. There are two places I know of that we can get decent low carb food at nearby but I'm kinda tired of them (grilled chicken avocado green salad or a steak place). Ideas? Where do you go and what do you order when you want to celebrate with a nice dinner date at a decent…

I have a perfectly good can of coconut milk...
sitting in my fridge because someone months ago somewhere told me to put it in there and use it for something. I have no idea what for. I don't want to waste it. Ideas? (There they are just standing in a row...)

Fake Sweeteners - seriously
I have a FB friend who is on a mission against Splenda/aspartame. She's posting and tagging me in post after post. I DO thing they aren't the best choice, and maybe dangerous, but I think of them as the lesser of two evils. Being a diabetic I can't do sugar or honey. Being a low carber, I don't want to waste carbs on them…

Epsom Salt Baths
so I'm watch Dr Oz (I know, I know), and he's talking about how Epsom salt baths add magnesium through the skin. I wonder if this wouldn't help ppl with Keto flu? He also says 80% of ppl are deficient in magnesium. I need to google foods high in it. On a side note, autocorrect is driving me insane...

Honey
a friend is pressuring me to get off Splenda and use a little honey in my am coffee. It's like five carbs for the amount it think I'd use. Anyone have any experiences with honey and how it made you feel?

Milk Thistle

Black Bean Pasta
I heard about this stuff on a talk show yesterday. It's made of beans and water, that's it. Looked for it at my store but no luck, yet. A serving has 17g carbs, but 12g of that is fiber. Anyone ever try it? Thots? It's ugly, sure, but I'm always open to options. I can definitely live with five net carbs. But... How's it…

Liver Disease and LCHF
Husband just got diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver due to fatty liver (he doesn't drink). I have lost about forty pounds on keto/LCHF diet, but he's only lost ten. He cheats every day at lunch at work. Anyway, he's now gung ho for doing this with me but is there any concerns with him having a fatty liver? He also has a…
