It is important to learn to read the labels when you are purchasing foods. When you look at carbohydrates, that doesn't give you the complete picture. You are going to have to do some math. I know-I know, math is not fun. This isn't hard math though, just a simple subtraction. You see...

Yikes! I hope it comes right back down. I am back on track and down a pound.

I had a cheat day last week when I went out with friends to a show and all the food was carby. I had grapes, mini-beef wellingtons, chicken with teriyaki sauce, 1/2 a brownie, and a beer. Here's what happened: 1) My weight went up 4 pounds. I estimate 2 of the pounds were glycogen stores...

Wow, kawmek. You are right about it being a carb nightmare. I forgot to mention the a.p. flour. Must have been my mind just blanking it out as it was actual wheat flour. Replace it with 1/2 almond and 1/2 pecan flour. So, here are the results. The carbs per cookie of your original recipe...

Had a great low-carb breakfast today and got a shot of it. A salad made of spring-mix and spinach, topped with walnuts, blue cheese dressing, and cut up pieces of a chuck roast I made earlier this week. On the side were pork rinds and watermelon. It was yummy!

Here are some tips to help make it a little bit more keto. Remove the cup of instant oatmeal (30 net carbs) and replace it with 1 cup of pecan flour (5.4 net carbs). Doing this you will have your pecan flavor, so you can also remove the 1/2 cup of pecans, which would remove another 2.1 net...

The honey and apple sauce both have sugar, so I would not immediately think of either of these for a keto diet. It would depend on the amount you used for each cookie. Also, I assume your cookies were made with almond flour, not 1/2 almond and 1/2 wheat flour. You didn't list the amounts...

If you check with the FDA, canola oil is generally considered a safe food; however, I personally never use Canola oil. First, it is processed under high heat to squeeze the oil out of the canola seed. That by itself takes it off my list of healthy oils as I am trying to eliminate highly...

Interesting! I have not heard of that before. I have used amber Listerine and let it sit on the tooth for a few minutes to lessen the pain. Must work in a similar way.

Hi, Kawmek. There is a lot of debate over what is good versus bad fat. I try to stick to fats that are not highly processed, so vegetable oils that are processed cold instead of processed through high heat are a good option. Coconut oil is one, along with some peanut oil, olive oil, and...

Hi, Kawmek. Welcome to Low Carb Forum! Glad to have you here. Eggs, baking powder, and cream of tartar are the best ways to lighten up almond flour, so having that egg restriction makes it a bit harder to get that lightness and fluffiness that makes our desserts have a nice texture. You say...

Keto stix can be helpful when you first start a ketogenic diet. They don't actually measure ketones, they measure excess ketones that are spilled into your urine. This happens when your body is not efficient at burning fat, and it can be an inexpensive way to know that you are in ketosis...

The Atkins Diet Revolution was first published in 1972 by cardiologist Dr. Robert Atkins. It explained his findings regarding a carbohydrate-restrictive diet. He challenged the status quo, but in the face of adversity, he had facts to back him up. We've come a long way since then, and low...

Hello. I'm Jackye and I'd like to extend a warm welcome to everyone from Low Carb Forum. I was very successful on the Atkins diet 18 years ago. Unfortunately, I went off of low carb and gained back all my weight plus some. I went back on low carb two years ago and had a lot of success losing...
