July Weight Loss

Trucking along!  I'm about to go back to work (I'm a school librarian) so my daily routines are about to change.  Hoping for positive changes but we'll see!

Low Carb No Bake Cookies

Image
On one of the Keto FB groups I frequent, I asked for dessert or sweets recipes that actually tasted good.  So many just don't.  This is one of the recipes that was suggested and I honestly like these a whole lot more than I expected!  I'm not a big fan of coconut because of the texture but this was really fine coconut so not the same.  I made it with almond butter but think I'll try real peanut butter next time.  The picture below is from the site of the original recipe.  I didn't take a picture of mine because while they tasted great, they were really flat and didn't look great.  LOL!  Anyway, simple recipe, tasty, and freezable.  What's not to like? Left and right have chocolate added.  The middle is plain but YUMMY! print recipe Low Carb No Bake Cookies by September-7-2017 Adapted from THIS recipe. Ingredients 2 Tbsp Butter 3/4 cup Peanut Butter 1 cup Unsweetened All Natural Shredded Coconut...

Let's Talk Macros

DISCLAIMER: I am not a doctor, trainer, or any other kind of professional in regards to a ketogenic diet. Everything you read below is based on my personal research and opinions.

First and foremost, you need to watch your carbs.  If you’re aiming for 20-30 carbs, that’s probably a good start.  I started there and it worked well for me.  As I got further into it, I dropped and most days am well under that but it’s not necessary to do that.  T...

More of my favorite products!

My last product post was about cooking tools for the kitchen.  This one is going to be about some of my favorite edible products!  Not all of these are keto friendly but they are low carb which is good enough for me.  Everyone of the things below are items I always have on hand and I immediately purchase again when I run out. Low Carb BBQ One of the things I missed a lot when I began this new way of eating was BBQ sauce.  This one still has carbs but they're low.  But because it has carbs, use it sparingly.  The flavor is spot on though!  There are lots of low carb options out there but this one is by far the best I've tried!  Thick and full of flavor! Low Carb Ketchup Tomatoes have carbs.  They are in so many sauces that it's hard to avoid them.  I found this reduced sugar ketchup and found it had reduced carbs.  I don't use it often but it tastes as good as regular ketchup to me so works if ketchup is what I want. ...
