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)”

Keto and kids? Here’s our take on it…

It’s been quite a long while since I’ve posted, though God knows how many drafts I have going at this point. We are blessed and grateful to be busier than ever with clients, events and restaurants, plus the whole 9 kids thing. Honestly, we are unpleasantly busy – but not unhappy, if that makes sense.Continue reading “Keto and kids? Here’s our take on it…”

Same Resolutions, New Resolve?

I know it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted. Partly, because business has been good, for which I am extremely grateful (and busy). Partly because I haven’t had anything funny, motivational, or even remotely positive to write. Somehow, I didn’t think it was great advertising for my health-related food business to say, “hey guys,Continue reading “Same Resolutions, New Resolve?”

Breaking News: ABC Kitchen owner reported MIA, found in the middle of a “cleanse”

Sorry, everybody. I’ve meant to keep you updated on my progress, but have found myself surrounded by chips, dips, and more recently, eggs. I’m super excited to report that I, and three others, have recently completed the second trial of the Chips&Dips “cleanse,” and all of us lost weight! I lost 2.2 lb this time,Continue reading “Breaking News: ABC Kitchen owner reported MIA, found in the middle of a “cleanse””
