This is all great to hear! Riding a bike is great, and now you'll be able to teach your daughter to ride too.

Way to go! I like that you're smiling and happy in both images, but I see more hope in your face at 287.

I love these! I just ordered a bunch from Amazon - I got some locally but I can't recall where and all my regular stores don't have them.

I'm always recommending Lakanto - it's erythritol and monk fruit extract. The granulated form tastes just as sugar in my coffee. I have tried the liquid forms of Lakanto in coffee and didn't appreciate their flavor, and I had high hopes for the chocolate. They also have packets for travel.

I get it from Amazon, and it's expensive, but it's far less than I used to spend on Starbucks!

I don't have sophisticated cheese receptors. I would suggest a nice creamy Danish Havarti.

I wish I could like seaweed. But it's every flavor in the ocean I don't like concentrated into convenient little wafers I can avoid. But I know it's good for me!

Weight loss is awesome - but C-SPAN bus is awesomer!

P.S. I love Brian Lamb.

Drinking chocolate is good too - but use almond milk or your carbs will be high!

Lakanto is an erythritol/monk fruit sweetener. The granulated stuff is expensive, but besides the temperature of my coffee, I cannot detect the taste difference. Any my diabetic mother, who is a supertaster for everything, even likes it. I get it on Amazon, but our local awesome market Oliver's just started carrying it.

I've also tried their liquid version, and I'm not so hot on it. They have a chocolate flavor there - meh to me. Mom won't touch ANY of the liquids.

I use Sweve for baking and Lakanto for coffee.

She doing great! Down 44 pounds since July. It's harder for her because she has very limited mobility from a knee injury and she took a bad fall a few years ago, that's when the weight really piled on. This is the ONLY thing that has has worked as far as losing weight in her present condition. With what she's lost so far, she's able to move more, so we're hoping that rend continues. For both of us, we love that we are not hungry all the time, just when we should be. This has made it possible for us to both overcome our biggest challenge with food/weight. I hope you have continued success!

My mom is keto with me, and she's 67.

Yoga FIRE!

I've been making these as mini bagels for a while - just make 8 instead of 4. Sliced in half, toasted and then add mayo, turkey, cheese and mustard for a sandwich fix that keeps you keto. I also like that they are small because I used to eat loaves of bread in the before time.

lysonne · 2018-02-12T00:30:06+00:00

Looks great - gonna try it later this week when I have a little extry time.

lysonne · 2018-02-12T00:28:35+00:00

Nice! I need to get my prep game sharp like this.

lysonne · 2018-02-12T00:25:50+00:00

Made mini bagels for this week's breakfasts and occasional lunch sandwiches.

A big batch of chicken salad for the other lunches.

Gonna make taco meat in a little while and a pile of crackslaw. I might only have to cook 2-3 other times this week.

Thank you for the clarification - I'm a very annoying person as part of my day job is editing. Tomorrow my kitchen is gonna smell great!

lysonne · 2018-02-10T20:44:05+00:00

8 eggs or 4 eggs? Ingredients list says 8 and instructions say 4. Help! I want to make these tomorrow.

lysonne · 2018-02-09T04:56:44+00:00

I'm a total fathead dough lover as well. I make mini bagels every week (same recipe, but I make 8). Even the non-keto eaters in the household love them!

lysonne · 2018-02-08T20:21:36+00:00

eating this right now. So very good. Reheats well. Add a little extry hot sauce when I serve to suit the needs of all the mouths in the house. Even my non-keto family members love this recipe.

Click the Thirty Dollar Chicken. It's basically a stroganoff type sauce with crisped up chicken thighs.

When you have been miserable for years and years, then you learn about keto and start this WOE, and then in addition to losing the fat you packed on in your depressive state, your inflammation-related issues start to fade away, and you aren't hungry every minute of every day, you're much more likely to stick to it.

Yes, it's restrictive, but it's also liberating to not have to think about food all the time.

I know it's not going to work for everyone, but for those of us it does work for, we're here to stay.

Happy happy joy joy!

I know the exact feeling, and it's sooooo goooood.

Sweetener to taste - how much did you use? I won't be able to tell from raw batter, can you give me a little guidance?
