Well, it’s been nearly a week into 2024. How are your resolutions doing? How are you doing? It’s been a bit of a rocky start to our 2024, complete with rain leaking into our house, the van needing repairs urgently, unexpected bills and an emergency extraction after my 7 year old fractured his tooth. ButContinue reading “One week in, one brisket down – beginning carnivore tips, recipes, and results”

Keto Confessions of 2023
As many of you know, I always start a new year with a post full of reflection and good intentions to my clients, customers, friends and family, looking back on the past as I fondly recall our adventures and accomplishments as a business and family. But the reality is that not every year is goingContinue reading “Keto Confessions of 2023”
Even Cleaner Than A Cleanse
I gained 2 pounds back over the weekend – this is beyond frustrating considering I fasted 16:8 and ate clean keto (less than 20 net carbs), which used to be all it took to drop the weight. I went over 3 years in the right direction, except for being pregnant of course, but even thenContinue reading “Even Cleaner Than A Cleanse”
The only thing mixed effort gets you is mixed results (and a delicious blue cheese dressing)
Over the 3 days of my second egg fast cleanse I lost a total of 3.6 after a slow start. Not bad, but not nearly as good as last week’s results, especially since I gained a pound of it back yesterday. The difference? I was incredibly strict and clean last week, this week, I didContinue reading “The only thing mixed effort gets you is mixed results (and a delicious blue cheese dressing)”
A Little Too Cheesy
It’s just as important to recognize the things that don’t work as the things that do. No loss on the scale this morning, which was stupidly disappointing. But in reflecting back, I definitely ate too much cheese yesterday. Having given up dairy for the last 14 months while nursing, I can only say in myContinue reading “A Little Too Cheesy”
More eggs, more results? (Keto Crepe recipe inside)
I lost 7.5 pounds last week and gained 2 going back onto strict keto this weekend, which for me is enough progress to see how many eggs I can choke down again starting this morning. I’m curious to see if my results can be repeated two weeks in a row – can I possibly loseContinue reading “More eggs, more results? (Keto Crepe recipe inside)”
Creamy Keto Custard for the win: Egg Fast Days 2-3
We went out to dinner last night and I had chicken wings. Came from a chicken, but not exactly an egg. I was a little anxious to break my otherwise very strict eggs, butter, cheese regimen but Buffalo Wild Wings still doesn’t serve breakfast. So I was even more thrilled to get on the scaleContinue reading “Creamy Keto Custard for the win: Egg Fast Days 2-3”
Weight loss too slow? Try an egg fast
I’ve lost 83 pounds doing keto over the last 4 years, which includes dieting through a pandemic and pregnancy, so it’s safe to say that I know what I’m doing as far as carb restriction, intermittent fasting and keeping the weight off go. However, there have been several times when my weight loss has slowedContinue reading “Weight loss too slow? Try an egg fast”
Keeping it real (recipe included)
Warning: Some photos may not be suitable for the weak or easily offended. Look, it’s not like some magic switch gets flipped in January and all of my resolutions come to fruition at once. We’re mid-month now, so it’s about that time to see how things are going. Let’s assess. I lost 3 of theContinue reading “Keeping it real (recipe included)”
Another New Year’s post: it’s never too late until it is…
I always start each new year thinking I’m finally going to start regularly writing to y’all about the joys of keto, diet tips, recipe secrets, and funny life anecdotes of 9 kids, chickens and a falling apart house, and then the year just happens and before I know it it’s time for another New Year’sContinue reading “Another New Year’s post: it’s never too late until it is…”
