Labne Spreadable Yogurt Kefir Cheese?
I was at a big regional store here in Michigan and was looking for full fat yogurt and found this interesting food: Labne Spreadable Yogurt Kefir Cheese (pics below my sign.) I just tasted it, and it tastes really good. Its not too bad on carbs, 2 tbs = 1 g. I did a back-to-back taste test with Whole Milk yogurt, and I…

You Know Who You Are....Rant!
This discussion is for people that are seriously trying to lose weight. You are the people that gain a pound or two during the week, record it on MFP, then correct your wayward ways, then lose a pound, then do your once-a-week-weigh-in. Then MFP updates your status that you lost a pound. But in reality, you didn't lose…

Future "100 lbs Lost" Party
I haven't seen this discussed before. So, I'm hoping to have some fun with it. Lord willing, I am a couple months (or so) away from being 100 lbs down from when I started the Keto diet. It is just a milestone, but a significant one. (I want to lose 124 lbs to get to my goal weight of 190). So, I want to have a party. I am…

Let's Talk Salt
One thing I really like about the Keto/Lo-carb lifestyle is the ability to eat salt. I am old enough to remember that when the "lo fat" fad diet started, "lo-salt" fad came in with it. They demonized salt with fat. I have always loved salt. I lick it all the time without food (LOL!) I even asked my doctor if there was a…

Water, Do We Listen to Our Body or Not?
Time and time again, we hear the mantras: Ok, on the water. My body doesn't ask for more water, unless I don't drink enough. That would be about less than 4 cups a day for me. I have lived that way for all my life. So I get on the Keto WOE and am told to drink a minimum of 8 cups a day. I'm ok with that, even though some…

Constipation & Psyllium Husks?
Pre-Keto, I never had problems with constipation. Maybe once a year. Since Keto, I have it frequently, like 1-4 times a week. I don't know if its because I don't drink enough water (8-10 cups @ day) or if its the foods I eat? I have heard that Cheese could be the culprit, but there were some weeks I rarely ate cheese and…

Macro's & Calorie Counting Ingredients Spreadsheet, Collaboration Needed

Cream Cheese, Bacon & ????
Last night I got carried away and ate (9) baked stuffed peppers. They sure were good. :D But too many carbs! :'( I like baked bacon and the cream cheese (my new friend). So I was thinking, replace the Peppers with a meat or something that has NO carbs. Logistically, I would need a substitute that I can stuff or layer. I…

I Walked Up My Hill Today!
I went out to my 2.5 acre property today. It is very long (about 500 feet to the river) and it is a hill side that leads to the Clinton River, in Shelby Township, MI. From the top of the property to the river is about a 60 foot drop. Here is a pic I took today, from the top looking down: (the white stuff is snow): The last…

Fried Radishes?
I was bouncing around on the web last night and found a web site (that I can't find right now) that had low carb fried radishes. Basically quarter them and fry in your favorite oil, salt & pepper. Tonight, I picked up some on my way home. So, I broke my fast (only 24 hrs long) which is earlier than normal, because I was…

Raspberry Fat Bombs
Another easy to make Fat Bomb. I use a silicone mold that has 20 cavities. If you leave the raspberry out, this will still taste wonderful, BUT, the raspberry adds a tremendous amount of flavor! Yummy for the tummy! :D At 1.4g carbs, not too bad. The weight is a little light because the raspberry displaces the chocolate.…
