Avocado Brownies: full review
I took my time with this one. Mainly because I really wanted it to be good. The brownies, I mean. I cooked a half batch, exactly as directed. The wet batter tastes Devine! The hot-out-of-the-oven brownie tastes nasty. The avocado flavor was way over powering the chocolate. Maybe I just don't like my avocado as a sweet…

Lasagna?
So I'm going to attemp a lasagna made with squash instead of noodles. My fear is fear it won't gel up, because the squash will release its water and make the whole thing a soggy mess. Has anyone tried this? Got a tried and true recipe?

IF: day 4
So I've started IF (16/8). Day 1 was ok, day two was really had, day three was nearly unbearable.... day four, I woke up with zero hunger!

Psychosomatic comfort of food/alcohol
There is definitely a Psychosomatic comfort of food/alcohol, at least there is for me. Just opening a bottle of wine and pouring a glass (not even drinking it yet) can calm me down, after a stressful day. So tonight, in an attempt to have the same effect, I'm totally drinking my ice water out of a fancy glass! Lol

Are there any Paleo-Keto people in this group?
So Paleo and Keto are similar, in that they are both no processed, gluten, fake foods.... but Paleo isn't exactly carb count sensitive. It does however mean no dairy, coffee, etc. I'm considering doing a no dairy version of Keto to see how my gut does with that. 95% of my IBS and lactose issues are already gone, but I'm…

My day looks like this: coffee with HWC at 8am, lunch at 1, bpc at 3 if I'm dragging, dinner at 6-7pm with a Keto dessert(usually a fat bomb type thing to get my macros where they need to be. No eating from 8pm on. Since I have coffee with HWC at 8am,…

NAFLD, anyone?
Is anyone else doing Keto to reverse/cure their Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? How long are you /did you Keto till you re-tested your MRI? Is 90 days of Keto and going from 138 to 125 pounds enough weight loss to affect the fat deposits in the liver? Should I wait longer to retest?

Two month on th 5th..... Been doing great but today I feel like utter crap. Not sure why. I feel light headed, dizzy, and tired. Haven't felt like this in a while. Tried to have a 2 carb beer with dinner and couldn't get through it. I felt almost as if I'd had four beers, not less than 1. I've had 72 oz of water today.…

Please look at my food diary!
Ok folks. I started off good with an 8 pound and 3 inch loss right out the gate. Since then, about 5-6 weeks, I've hit a wall. I'd dropped another .5 pound a few weeks ago and though I'd finally past the hump... just to gain three pounds shortly thereafter. I've started tracking again, because I erroneously thought I'd had…
