Low carb eating doesn't suck!

[CTslotters]

We’ve been going keto strong here. Down 2.5 lbs in 8 days. Steve is losing faster than me. Tonight I will shove a donut in his mouth [emoji48]

Here is our breakfast this morning

The wrapper has a slight hint of cardboard with a little egg. O carbs.

“Slight hint of cardboard” hhh! [emoji23]
I saw those at Costco and wondered how they were.
I bought the bag of chili and salt Pork rinds from Costco to have as a snack when I want something crunchy and OMG it smelled disgusting when you pop open the bag! I was not prepared for it (not sure why since I’ve cooked skin on pork before and it’s reminiscent of that when raw). Be warned if anyone picks up the same snack, they smell bad but taste delightful!

Made this easy and delicious broccoli cheddar soup tonight. https://joyfilledeats.com/loaded-broccoli-cheddar-soup/

I also tried to knock off Starbuck's Lemon pound Cake which is one of my weaknesses, especially when I travel.

https://www.heyketomama.com/keto-vanilla-pound-cake/

I used lemon instead of vanilla flavoring, and I used monk fruit instead of Swerve. This was the closest thing to cake I have found by far! It was pretty tasty although my lemon glaze was overly sweet, so will be going back to the drawing board on that. I will definitely use the pound cake recipe again, and will try more variation.

I have yet to read a good review of any bread, unfortunately. Frank is low carb, and he eats the Joseph's flax low carb pita bread. Half of the bigger one is 3 carbs which isn't too bad. The little ones are 5 for a whole one. They are sold in supermarkets, and I am pretty sure they are everywhere.

There are also loads of low carb tortillas out there now. Good for rollups, breakfast sandwiches, and of course tacos, enchiladas and the like.

But as far as actual bread, not so much.

[MNvegasgal]

So.. I am jumping in hard now. Food prepped and shopped last night. Found some great salad kits with a total of 8 carbs including the dressing. Maid some pulled chicken with rotel, and I have meat for salads and tacos with Lettuce for shells.

Found a new canned drink I like. 100 calories.. no carbs or sugar.

Our go to meals:

Bagged Caesar salad and a protein
Meatballs, Raos pasta sauce over spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles
Cauliflower fried rice with chicken or shrimp
Lettuce wraps with chicken or tuna salad
Taco salad without the shell

So far so good for me...I’ve lost 18 pounds since October.

As I mentioned in the weekend thread, I tried to recreate the Starbucks roasted pepper egg white bites.

I ended up combining a couple recipes and techniques so I’ll just list what I did. I found it a little too rich so next time, I will use less cream cheese and cheese.

1.5 cups pasteurized egg whites
3/4 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup cream cheese (I used whipped and will decrease to 1/2 cup next time)
1/3-1/2 cup finely diced roasted red peppers
2 teaspoons finely diced green onion
1/3 cup finely chopped frozen spinach
Handful of Colby jack shredded cheese
Couple dashed Tabasco
Garlic powder, salt and pepper

I bought a silicone egg bite (or baby food) mold on Amazon. Preheat the oven to 325F.

Combined egg whites, cottage cheese and cream cheese with immersion blender until combined and frothy. Added everything else in and poured into egg mold. Put egg mold in 9x9 baking pan and added water to the pan. Baked for an hour.

You can probably cook them at a higher temp and without the water bath, so it cooks more quickly but I was trying to recreate the sous vide effect.

Next time I make them I’ll tinker with the recipe and will report back!

I was at a sushi place and asked for a spicy tuna roll without rice. It was good! I didn’t miss the rice at all!

I thought I'd bring this thread back up -- not necessarily in terms of low carb but also as a reminder to make healthy choices -- as I suspect I'm not the only one who's noshing more and craving comfort food and adult beverages these days. (Also, my DH has discovered that Justin's Vanilla Almond Butter doesn't taste anything like the nut butters he remembers from the hippified days...there goes my secret stash!)

[chrissyDee]

I am still here trying to make good choices, but damn it is hard these days with nothing much else to do. Plus Frank had to get off Keto on doctor’s orders, so there are way more temptations in the house than before. Not to mention giving up the cigarettes makes it a bit tougher. But I am still Plugging along ...,

I did make a really good casserole today. Frank broke into it before I took a good picture, but I got one of my portion. It’s very similar to artichoke spinach dip and quite delicious!

Didn't use to like avocado unless it was guacamole. But then I got hooked. I eat too many. I like them sliced (not too ripe) on a piece of toast or Wasa cracker with a little cream cheese. Yummmm. Or add a slice in my taco/fajita. Yummm

Or add a slice in my taco/fajita. YummmI think it was always the texture thing for me. It really does have a weirdness about it that I didn't like, lol.

Lunch is leftover fried chicken strips made in the air fryer last night. Cheese stick because every meal needs cheese!

Breading is salt and pepper pork rinds mixed with my new favorite seasoning (garlic, ranch, chives).

I have a feeling my retirement posting is going to become annoying but since I'm stuck in quarantine and I've cleaned all my closets it's food porn now.[emoji23]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200504/41ae61c894a388df0023fe84a2a99f58.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200504/f88c09f514bd89ef9601bd4a10b36f15.jpg

Wow, Ida, that breading looks legit!
I love the salt and pepper Mac’s.

Is the seasoning something you throw together or is it already in a bottle?

Not a bad carb count might have to try those, tried the Corona Spritzers they are zero carbs it was a variety pack, lime and blueberry were the best

Yes spices and seasonings are hard to get here. I only do food delivery orders from pea pod and a local pork store, Im hoping my order tomorrow is good. Yeast is a hard to find item here also. Lot of people are baking, not me lol!

I did some shopping at Pete’s today which is normally very annoying bc they never have enough registers open, but today it was a very pleasant shopping experience!

Their spice aisle was well stocked and Ida, I was able to find that garlic, ranch, and chive blend!

This was a super exciting find in the Mexican aisle. Different flavored chicharrones for $1.29 a bag! And then, already ground pork rinds! I mean I know I can do it myself but anything that saves me a few minutes, I’m all for.

I found a new pasta that is low carb and the most like real pasta of anything we’ve tried.

https://getnooda.com/

It’s not inexpensive. A bag has 3 to 4 servings in it. It’s made of lupin flour and pea protein. The flavor is good. The texture is a little grainy but not bad. You boil it like you would any other pasta. I will for sure order it again.

I’ve been eating a lot of tacos. I eat 1 taco - low carb tortilla, carbs asada meat, onion, cilantro, hot sauce- for lunch and dinner. I buy the flap meat from Costco and marinate and grill it and store it in the fridge so I always have that as an option. It’s nice because it’s one less thing to think about.

But lately I’ve been taco-ed out [emoji23] I ate tacos everyday for about 4-5 months.

As someone who never ate cauliflower, I love these. We do them in a 425 oven. Rub with olive oil and I use my favorite steak seasoning on it. It’s one from Omaha steaks, apply liberally. Roast for about 13 mins, then flip for another 8-12. The char actually happens on the bottom of the cauliflower so if you don’t flip, that side will get nice and toasty while the other just bakes.

I’ve even topped them with creamy cheesey Swiss chard as a sauce of sorts.

One of the reasons I love when people post links. We all have different tastes and likes/dislikes. I just couldn't get into chaffles as much as I wanted to and despite liking the ingredients. Tried several different recipes for them too. I have been liking recipes more on the spicier side lately. I used to love spicy food, but had reflux so bad I couldn't tolerate it. The weight loss has improved that greatly to where I rarely need to take Prilosec anymore, which I'm grateful for.

The weight loss has improved that greatly to where I rarely need to take Prilosec anymore, which I'm grateful for.I found it hard to get on the chaffle bandwagon at first too. But now I make an "everything bagel" chaffle that tastes a lot like the real thing. I use this seasoning (experiment with how much or how little...I give it at least 3-4 shakes), half cup of mozzarella, and one egg which makes 2 chaffles. I get it at Walmart or Sam's but I think there are other brands out there too.

Also, I like this chocolate chaffle recipe because it uses cream cheese. I usually add a little bit of extra monk fruit and a tiny bit more vanilla. Congrats on the improvement with the reflux!

Total, I’m down 70 pounds as of today and the goal weight is 30 more. I can’t wait to stroll through all this great low carb goodness!

And yes, I will be cheating in KC but a 24 hour IF and I’m right back at it!

So after my trip to Boston I was given permission to start losing all the drug weight I gained initially. From start to end I took on close to 40lbs. While I definitely could have used some of it, I’d like to give back about half. Starting slowly with a semi no carb diet. Lunch was chicken, riced cauliflower and peppers. I added soy sauce and a small amount of buffalo sauce for a kick. Delicious!

Breakfast was 4 eggs with bacon.

I am making Sunday my official cheat day, but chicken nuggets aren’t ruled out anytime. I just want to make small changes and see what happens! Something I will stick with and not get discouraged.

I will keep you all posted on my progress!

I'm so many kings! Seriously though, I'm finding well seasoned air fried veggies are where it's at. I did good today so far! Bought some spicy pickles and string cheese for evening snacking. I'm finding the lack of carbs is turning me almost into a pregant woman with cravings..Haha When I did P90X like 10 years ago I was the same thing. You could almost see a 6 pack then! ALMOST, lets not get carried away!

Some of my Keto coworkers rave on that stuff, definitely getting some to try!

Oh it’s amazing...[emoji3]. I need to air fry veggies more, I usually just grill them.

So this is my new favorite section! I’ve been living the Keto lifestyle for about a year and a half now. Total stall/plateau for the last 6 months or so but it’s kicked into high high gear again. Total, I’m down 70 pounds as of today and the goal weight is 30 more. I can’t wait to stroll through all this great low carb goodness!

And yes, I will be cheating in KC but a 24 hour IF and I’m right back at it!

Thank you. Hopefully I can have some good results moving forward. Vegas threw a HUGE monkey wrench in my progress, but worth it. [emoji3]

Has anybody tried these? They're at Costco. I'm not a fan of the Shirataki noodles (can't get past the smell -- no matter how much I rinse them -- and the texture), but one of my Sparkfriends says these taste like regular noodles.

I hate shirataki noodles for the same reason. Haven’t tried these but am curious to see how they are!

Did a little low carb gumbo for DH tonight. The little nibbles I’ve had so far taste delicious.

No picture because I ate it, but tried the Wendy’s breakfast baconator again today (no bread of course). Good for in a pinch, and love the small amount of heat in the sausage!

Love all the pics!

With CPT on his low-carb adventure, I thought I'd revive this thread. So many tips and recipes....

Resurrecting this thread again after seeing LowAndSlow's post in the Life Thread. Maybe this time I can get motivated!

[LowAndSlow]

Ah, there it is! Thanks. I probably need to scroll through it for more ideas.

Sorry not a pic of mine but we devoured it before I thought about it. Made this last night "Pico de Gallo Chicken." Very easy and was so good. I made the pico (I did add some minced garlic) and used some pepper/jack and mozz cheeses for the top. I intended to make it with skinless boneless but I had grabbed a rotisserie chicken at the store, so just took all the meat off and put it on my Pampered Chef baking stone and it worked great. Had it with broccoli. I have some left over for today as well. Here's the link for the recipe: https://thenovicechefblog.com/pico-de-gallo-chicken/
