is my meter and /or my strips bad?
I have been taking my readings pretty regularly this year ( not so much in the past )..... My readings haven been around 185 this week, which seems high. I started a really low carb program about a month ago. ( I know it takes time ) But at the end of 2015, I was also around 185. So here is why I ask: My strips have…

Looking for someone to help me here.
This is not a busy group but I have closed some posts which appear to be spam, or want to go against my desire to keep every recipe a seperate post, and not all in one thread. If you would like to help, please send me a message, or reply here. Thanks!

Keto BLT with egg salad
OK, use your own recipe with this for the egg salad. I just mix stuff together until I like the way it tastes.... You will also need: Lettuce leaves Crispy bacon A slice of tomato - if you allow for that in your carb count ( diced ) Lay a leaf out. Place egg salad down the middle of the leaf. Place diced tomato next to the…

Cheese crust pizza!
I saw this on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives last night. Take a variety of shredded cheeses ( the guy also used blue cheese, but I don't think I would ) and place them on a hot flat griddle in about a 10" circle. Let it cook for about a minute. Then place your toppings on the melted cheese.... I know he used pesto and…

Keto Tuna Salad Sandwich Deluxe!
OK, when I get in the mood for tuna salad, I usually want it RIGHT NOW! So, what I do is keep a few cans in the fridge so that when I mix it all up, it is nice and cold - just like I like it! 2 cold cans of tuna 2 hard boiled eggs Mayo - as much as you choose. I would use about 6 TBS for this. 3 TBS chopped pickles - not…

Looking for friends, but especially if you follow a LCHF plan.
I'm 53, and diabetic.... something had to change. I met a cardiologist who recommended that I go on a low carb high fat diet. I have been at it a week, and in just a week the results are amazing... and no, I didn't have that huge weight loss that so many have when they start doing low carb. What has been great is my blood…

I'm guessing bone broth is very good for us?
I don't know much about it, but it seems like a good thing.... but I was in Barnes & Noble tonight and there was a book called "200 Bone Broth Recipes". Seriously? There are 200? Not asking in a mean way, but it would seem like a very big stretch to have 200 distinct recipes - at least to me.

~ 75 days in, and had my physical today.
First thing my doctor said when she saw me today was "Well, don't you look a bit thinner?" ( about 5" gone from my waist ) We ran through the blood work numbers, and everything was better, except my triglycerides - which I talked about in a different thread about 3 weeks ago. So, she knew a tiny bit about this WOE, and we…

How to convert your spouse or SO?
I still have 75 pounds I want to lose, plus get my diabetes fully under control. I am down about 75 pounds from my all time high. My wife has about 75 to lose, as well. I have asked her to go keto with me, but she has no desire. She will - however - eat the Keto meals I prepare, but then adds a slice of bread or 2 to her…

Do you ever eat beans?
My daughter is doing a project in high school where she chose to eat vegetarian for 30 days. She is now on day 22. On day 30 she wants to make something called "White Bean Burgers". She and I don't share a lot of things in common, but we both LOVE to cook. I have been teaching her to cook since she was 5 years old. Anyway,…

I broke down and cheated in a huge way today.... my observations.
I was in a lumber yard when a guy I went to college with in 1982 recognized me..... we ended up going out to lunch. This was my first cheat since starting LCHF, and it was a doozy! He took me to lunch at a family member's sandwich shop and told me to take a seat and he would order for both of us.... He comes back to the…

MCT oil.... has it made any difference to you?
I know we have had a few discussions where MCT oil has been brought up, usually with BPC. I bought MCT oil last week - I think the one Sunny_Bunny recommended, and I am using it for my BPC. I have heard the warnings to NOT jump in with a whole TBS to start, but I did, and no ill effects. I have also read about 20 things…

Let's talk exercise.
What do you do for exercise on a regular basis? I punch a heavy bag for 20 - 30 minutes at a time.... ( somehow, this doesn't hurt my back, and my back can give me incredible pain ) I go to the gym and use the "TruStretch" machine. And I walk. Sometimes, when nobody is around I throw on my kids Nintendo and do some Wii…

Can you knock yourself out of Ketosis in one day like this?
I couldn't log until now..... Ended up at about 45 total carbs / 38 net carbs... I am usually under 30 total and about 20 net. ( 11 of the 45 are from cauliflower ) I tend to doubt it, but there must be a point where a bad day could knock you out of ketosis.

I may have figured out my slow weight loss for "me".
Pickles. I have not been logging them due to their extremely low calories.... but I think it is the salt..... I gave up pickles for 3 days and the weight started coming off again. I was eating half of a Kosher pickle a day just because I love them so much. I know the salt can cause water retention, but I had no idea it…

"Houston, We Have a BIG Problem."
I was supposed to have my physical on Monday.... I thought it was for Tuesday, and I missed it. It is rescheduled for later this month. But today the doctor's office called and told me my "numbers". I didn't write them down because I will see the doctor in 2 weeks, and I will go over them in depth at that point. Good news…

Brocolli - Cheddar Buscuits.
I made these before and they were very good. And in fact, I am making them tonight. http://www.ruled.me/keto-broccoli-cheddar-biscuits/ Funny what he says about his food processor, though. I had that one and it was terrible.

Had a colonoscopy today...what the doctor said.
He asked if I felt ok, and I said I do, but my bowel movements are different now that I am doing a LCHF WOE. The first thing he did was scowl at me. He asked me how many carbs I have on a daily basis. I said 20 to 30 a day... another scowl. He told me that I need more grains in my diet - ancient grains, specifically. I…

How does one lose 25 pounds in one month.......
but nothing the next month ( my 2nd month of my plan ).... and lose SIX inches from my waist? Losing 25 pounds is a good amount over two months... I am not complaining. But really, 99% of it came the first month, and my belly was just as big after 30 days. Now, with no additional weight loss, I have lost 6" from my still…
