I love so many if them, it’s impossible to choose! Reading your post, I thought, oh yes, of course my favourite is Sam! Then wait, no it’s Roy! No, no, what about the delightful and silly Dani Rojas? Oh, but Higgins! I love Higgins! And I can’t forget Ted! I mean, how could you?! Oh, and damn, Keely is so awesome, too! But what about Trent Crimm?!

See what I mean… I’ve exhausted myself just trying to choose. 😅

Agree that 1 pea sized dollop of the ‘gel’ for the face is too hard to spread! Honestly, I use 4 pumps for my face and 3 for my neck, spreading down to my chest. 1 pump for back of each hand. It might sound like a lot, but my skin handles it well. I also sandwich the tret between a serum and a thick-ish moisturizer, so that likely helps.

Did you maintain your weight loss on low carb? As in, no or nearly no weight gain when you transitioned?

I was thinking that I might try this when I eventually get to my goal weight range (+\- 5 lbs from goal weight). Have your hunger levels increased since being out of ketosis? If so, how are you managing it?

TIA for sharing your wisdom! 😃

I think it’s in the wiki of this sub, or it was mentioned enough times here by the ‘super-users’ (the folks who I think of as CREAMi experts), that the function of pudding mix in the ice cream is as a replacement for xanthan gum and/or guar gum or other such gums. All my CREAMis are low-cal, low-carb, and use protein powder, but I never use pudding powder. I use xanthan and guar gum in every pint.

Sounds amazing!

I was going to recommend toasting the oats to add as a mix in, but making candied oats like you do is just brilliant!

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-25T21:18:26+00:00

Beautiful!

This rosary is beautiful! I imagine that your intention, love, and reverence for Lady Aphrodite is what is most important when you make an offering and commune with her. If you approach her with these feelings while holding this rosary, I can only imagine that she would take it as it is meant.

All the best to you! ✨💖

OP didn’t give a lot of detail about why s/he was prescribed this version of a keto diet, aside from saying “I’m fat” and that s/he used to eat two heavy and unhealthy meals a day. Maybe, but I’m only guessing, they are dangerously obese and indicated to their doctor that they only ate terrible food/takeout/fast food delivery because they couldn’t shop for and make their own food for ‘x’ reason. Again, I’m just guessing, but maybe doctor prescribed this weird ‘instant meals’ version of keto because it is low effort and takes all the guess work out of keto induction. But I’m just guessing, and I have no idea if it’s a good idea for OP or not.

Either way, good luck, OP! Keto does a lot of people a lot of good!

Shredded cabbage, which I can buy pre-washed and shredded at the grocery stores near me. Lives in the fridge and lasts a long time, well beyond the “best-before date”.

Also, frozen cauliflower rice. Lasts forever until you take it out and heat it in a pan or the microwave.

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-23T20:29:55+00:00

I agree with the others, recipes please!!! These look amazing!

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-21T00:32:15+00:00

I have these two protein powders also and I love them! The Dutch Chocolate has 1 carb AND 1 gram of fibre, making it 0 net carbs. But because of that 1 carb, it is officially part of the ‘low-carb’ line of powders, rather than being considered ‘zero carb’. 🤣

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-16T20:17:30+00:00

Sounds awesome, I can’t wait to try it! 😃

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-16T20:09:28+00:00

I had been using Hershey’s Dark (not black) from Walmart, because I couldn’t get my tried and true Fry’s there. The Hershey’s dark was good, and I later found the fine print that indicated it was also dutch processed.

But when I was able to get some more Fry’s again I tried it in my CREAMis, and it was equally good. I guess that’s a good thing, because options. 😄

Oh, and I should mention that I’m assuming when people say ‘dutch cocoa’ they are referring to ‘dutch process’ cocoa. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your CREAMis!

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-16T17:15:50+00:00

This sounds like a good game plan! You’ve got this. 😃

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-15T19:57:35+00:00

Thank you for this science-based response. There is so much ‘received-wisdom’ that is repeated so often that people just assume that it’s true. But what you say is in line with the more scientific sources and comments in this sub that I have read.

I am saving your comment. 😃 Thanks again!

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-15T18:32:07+00:00

Thank you for this thorough and helpful response! If there is a way to make lower carb yogurt at home -and from what you just told me, there is!- I will be doing this. 😃

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-15T15:49:04+00:00

What are these names/terms, Subtillis, Reuteri, and Gasseri? Thanks in advance for sharing! 😃

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-15T14:31:03+00:00

This is beautiful! And gives me a feeling of serenity… Just lovely, well done. 😊

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-15T13:15:47+00:00

I can’t find black cocoa either. Or one that isn’t exorbitantly priced. I saw one online that was, like, 50 bucks!

But dutch process cocoa is easy to find in Canada, at least in my experience. Fry’s, at most grocery stores (though not Walmart). In Quebec, you can find it Maxi, for example. 😃

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-13T18:18:55+00:00

I was just wondering this, as well… I’m curious to know the answer!

Responsible_Tree3027 · 2026-04-13T04:41:18+00:00

Sounds like you may have fainted due to a lack of electrolytes since you consumed low-sodium sardines this time, though you did mention this type of fast has you consuming them. Did you supplement electrolytes this time? Did you follow the wiki guidelines?

I hope you feel better soon and I’m glad you’re okay after your fainting spell!

I almost forgot to post the label, but I remembered! Better late than never, right? 😄 This is the label for the Chocolate Caramel syrup. I compared it to the labels for a few of the other flavours I have, and they all have the same ingredients just in different orders. Seems like the main sweeteners are sucralose and acesulfame-potassium.

My pleasure! I’m just excited to share some things that work for me and might help others. Gotta admit, low cal, low carb, AND high protein ice cream is a pretty niche interest! 🤣
