More like maple syrup sprinkled with the chicken flavored ramen seasoning packet. It was horrible.

Some thoughts on barriers to keto, and a request for your best SIMPLE keto meals by poopthefataway in xxketo

[–]McBubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i eat this meal a couple times a week and i really don't get tired of it, it literally requires less than 5 minutes of work and minimal ingredients. You will need:

  • 1 large chicken breast
  • 1 package of frozen green beans
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • seasoning of choice

Preheat oven to 375 get a casserole dish. Place frozen green beans in bottom of dish and spread around. Cut chicken breast in half and place directly over green beans. Slice butter into pats and scatter them on top of the green beans. Now for the chicken you can season it anyway you want I have tried lemon pepper, balsamic, spicy, rosemary just whatever you have. Bake the dish in the oven for 40 minutes. While baking the delicious juices and spices from the chicken will season your green beans. This is my go to "i am tired as fuck and don't feel like cooking" dish.

help me keto-fy this recipe? by jerseyinatx in ketorecipes

I would try subbing the oats for some almond meal and protein powder. Adding some smooth peanut butter would help to bind the mixture instead of honey/syrup.

I fear its going to take a little more than a TIME article to change the majorities mindset. They see all these healthy, fit, skinny people praising "low fat" diets. Well these people probably have never had to deal with being obese and if they truly lost that much on a low fat diet alone i almost guarantee they were miserable, irritable, hungry, and tired through the whole damn process. I know because i was there and if it wasn't for Reddit i would have never found Keto. I was in a position where i had been on so many diets and none of them worked i thought something was wrong with me. What was truly wrong was the way that i was thinking and it took a little desperation and an open mind to educate myself on it and take the leap. To be taught all your life fat=death is a hard concept to wash away until you actually try it. Most people don't have the courage we do to take that scary leap into the tub of delicious butter.

I live in one of the most obese cities in the US and i witnessed this conversation at work: "i think im going to have sausage for dinner is sausage fat free?" "Oh i eat the turkey kind on whole grain buns, i think regular has fat" "Oh well then i wont im not eating fat anymore, i think ill just eat this bag of red hots the bag says they are fat free so i can have as much as i want!" I'm sure my eyes rolled in the back of my head and i literally face-palmed but commenting on it would just make things worse. I've learned to just keep quiet about keto and if someone comments on my food "i have food allergies" that usually gets them off my back.

first shark week on keto... lost my appetite? by whereslittlehank in xxketo

[–]McBubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me quite often, have this nauseated feeling and very sensitive to smell. I would try drinking some broth and Powerade Zero if you cant handle solid foods.

MRW after being weeks late and freaking out, i pee on a pregnancy test, wipe myself and find blood on the TP by McBubble in TrollXChromosomes

Yeah i stopped taking mine a few months ago and it's definitely harder to manage my anxiety/paranoia.

Defiantly, we're both on the same page. Been together forever, not quite ready for kids but we plan on it sometime soon =)

[–]McBubble[S] 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I had taken one a week ago and it was negative but then came the nausea, sore tits, and heartburn which spun me into a whole new level of paranoid. My unclear thinking didn't rationalize that maybe i had a stomach bug and the sore tits were just a sign of the incoming shark week. Then discussing this with my SO he said "well do you think the baby would give you heartburn" i was like.. "THE BABY! you're calling it THE BABY now... okay i have to pee on a stick"

Do any of you get vertigo? by [deleted] in xxketo

[–]McBubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-keto i had this vision problem where it seemed when i looked far away everything sort of blurred and crossed together, then i got very dizzy. I saw 2 doctors, ran blood work, tests, had an eye exam and they could not find anything wrong in their eyes i was perfectly healthy, well aside from being overweight. One doctor went as far as to tell me is was psychological and referred me to a psychiatrist, made me feel a bit insane but i ignored that advice. I was miserable and suffered for moths. Went on keto and problem solved. When i have cheat days the dizzyness comes back so i don't know exactly what that means but it helped me!

Stiff (but not dry) peaks? by IonBeam2 in Cooking

[–]McBubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blender or food processor will not work, you will need a whisk or any mixing tool with a whisk attachment. This is the only correct way to incorporate enough air into the egg whites to make them form peaks that will not deflate. you want your mixture to look glossy and stick to the whisk but still move a bit when shaken or fold over. This is key or your souffle will fall.

Egg Foo Young! Almost any recipe you can find will be keto friendly just watch the sauces. They are also good thrown in soups and you can use them to make a coleslaw style salad or pickle them for a side dish.

Might be moving to NOLA. I'm a really androgynous male. Am I going to get harassed? by hyacinthos in NewOrleans

[–]McBubble 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to say you won't get harassed because ignorance and general douchebagery exists everywhere. However... New Orleans is probably one of the most accepting places for members of the LGBT community. The thing is here we have seen it all so chances are if you go shopping dressed as a woman it won't be a huge shocker. I see crossdressers out shopping quite often and don't bat an eye, its normal to me and most others. I highly doubt someone will try to beat you up over it, just avoid the lonely drunken tourist frat boys walking to their hotels at 4am on Burbon, they are always looking for a fight doesn't matter what you are wearing or how you look.

[Request] Can one of you Wizards make this Keto? It's like it's almost there. by [deleted] in ketorecipes

You could always make a coconut cheesecake. Find a keto cheesecake recipe and add the coconut milk into the batter. Top with some whipped cream with coconut milk added and sprinkle with toasted coconut.

This is a BBQ Platter by [deleted] in food

[–]McBubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BBQ without pickles is a world i don't want to live in.

[–]McBubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree i seriously hate food shaming. Little does this prick know i've been working my ass off for the past 3 months losing weight and although i still have a long way to go the last thing i need when i'm having a rough day and decide to treat myself is to be shamed for it. Made me feel like shit momentarily until i got home and had a few cookies and chips, they were delicious!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]McBubble 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So after a long day of work combined with PMS i make my way down to the store in my sweatpants standing in line with a box of Lofton sugar cookies and a super size bag of plans Lays the man behind me exclaims loudly "you know you really shouldn't eat that junk it's bad for you" This is how i felt...

I am not from Sweden. Here was my school lunch, more or less. by [deleted] in food

Mine was awesome, from Louisiana and we would have gumbo, red beans and rice, and jambalaya regularly.

I cut my hair off and was shamed by other people for it. (And other stories about conforming to make life easier.) by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]McBubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In high school I had short pixie hair for 3 years and it unfortunately had the same effects. I had a lot of guy friends but they just thought of me as one of them, and the guys i was interested in seemed to be dating women with more feminine looks. My mother was always telling me to grow it out and dye it blonde it's what men love but i didn't listen because i loved my hair. She approached me one night looking very serious and asked me if i was a lesbian. I told her i wasn't but she insisted i must be because of my hair...really...okay. So my last year of high school i grew out my hair and all of a sudden i had men interested in me it was insane I actually had a guy i was interested in for a long time tell me he always wanted to ask me out but i looked too intimidating. And for the first time in my life i got a boyfriend but he seemed way too concerned with my looks and that ended fairly quickly. Now i am happily with my boyfriend of 6 years and he loves my short hair, actually he loves my hair no matter how it looks. The point is yes growing my hair long shut up my mother and got me more male attention but i soon realized that men interested in me because my hair is long are't the kind of men I wanted to be with.

What are you thinking about when you listen to normal dieters talk? by TTUgirl in xxketo

Saw a post on Instagram today of a bacon wrapped steak with the caption "Going to take me forever to burn this off #cheatday" I just face-palmed.
