Low carb eating doesn't suck!

My first attempt at 90 second bread for my hamburger bun. It’s really quite tasty. I browned it for a minute in a pan to add a little crunch.

Nice job! I enjoyed it the one time I made it. It was nice to feel
Like we were eating a regular burger, and it really tasted better than some hamburger buns I have had!

That looks delicious! I’m going to try that recipe.

Headed home from a successful casino trip. Not monetarily haha. But with Laurie with me, we were able to keep each other on track and do a good job of sticking to the food plan.

Even at Ruth Chris we made good choices (we think) and only ate a couple bites of anything questionable. And damn, the steak & shrimp & salad were so freaking good!

It was fun to figure out the best options, and have them tweaked for us when necessary. People were happy to oblige, which was well wonderful.

We also kept the cocktails to a
Minimum (2 for me the whole trip and both carb free) which helped and drank a shit ton of water.

Having a buddy along really makes a difference when you feel like caving HHH.

Laurie, thanks for being my Keto Buddy & my conscience as well as my friend ❤️

I had my annual yesterday and the doctor was pleased with my numbers. Down 12 lbs. since this time last year. But have a lot more to go. My A1C was back to a normal level where I am no longer considered pre-diabetic. My sugar count dropped dramatically, and my cholesterol was much better. It inspired me to work harder in the coming year.

I will be looking at all of the suggestions from you guys. But damn , I still love my pasta.

Well done darlin’. We want to have you around for a very long time, so
Keep it up! Isn’t it fabulous when the doctor is happy with you & you know you are in the right track? Repeat after me. SUGAR IS THE DEVIL and carbs are just sugar in disguise.

I’m telling you, get a spiralizer and try zucchini pasta at least once. It has changed my Life because we eat Italian food at least weekly and often more frequently. I ‘almost’ prefer it to pasta now. I’ll be trying daikon radish noodles soon. Stay tuned!

Congrats @Nhcris and @Laurie! Those are some hard temptations to avoid and you did it!

Great news on the better checkup @zeus! While not low-carb, it's better carbs - i'd recommend chickpea pasta. Tastes very similar to regular pasta.

Thanks, Dina. I have never heard of it.

Anytime you need a travel buddy let me know I wasn’t as good as you with my beer. I think we ate well the whole time. I didn’t miss any of the other foods! It was a fun trip and it sure helped me having you there too! Thank you!!

Low carb is easy. Stop eating the white 'stuff'. Been 15 yrs. since I dropped 30+lbs., and still haven't gained it back. Eat my carb foods in the a.m., b/c you'll burn those first .. fats second .. then muscle.

Cut out or down on potatoes/chips/white bread/rice/pasta. Now eat whole wheat bread/pasta/brown rice/few potatoes/very few chips.

Didn't do a complete Atkins, just modified it some. Never went completely carb free for those first two weeks.

Down went the cholesterol/blood pressure/weight from 187-154, and been there ever since, w/o even trying.

See sugar mentioned. Yup, got rid of that too. Splenda ever since.

Dave, here in the South we drink sweet tea. It is huge down here. That has been my issue for years. I could drink it by the gallon. That is one think that I have given up. I don't care for the taste of Splenda, so it is the pink packet for me.
