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”

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)”
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”
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…”
All dips are not created equal
I bet you think I’m going to rave about this awesome green chutney I made last night. I am not. I gained back 0.3 lb over the last 24 hours, and while that’s not enough to slow me down, the chutney definitely wasn’t worth a gain of any kind. I love Indian food – curry,Continue reading “All dips are not created equal”
I’m winning right now
No drumroll necessary – I’m down 1.6 lb this morning! I’m happy with a loss of 2 or more pounds each week, so almost being down 1.8 on Wednesday while eating chips and dip is just what I needed during a week of back-to-school-back-home-from-school-because-someone-got-carsick-on-the-bus-but-no-fever-so-maybe-they-can-come-back chaos. But I digress… For last night’s 7-layer taco dip, IContinue reading “I’m winning right now”
Day 2 – No pain, no gain
That is a picture of what we ate last night – as you can see, we are both a chip-loving and mixed-up football family. And not food photographers. While I didn’t eat my 32 remaining chips, I ate enough of them, loaded with crab rangoon, to feel very full. For those of you who askedContinue reading “Day 2 – No pain, no gain”
The Chips and Dips Cleanse “Plan”
I went off my M-F cleanse cycles and back to regular keto last week, meaning I added dairy, sweetener, nuts and alcohol back into my diet while staying under 22 net carbs. And I only lost 0.6 pounds… I really want to know which of those things are crippling my weight loss, and I alsoContinue reading “The Chips and Dips Cleanse “Plan””
Is It Time For Another Cleanse?
It’s been a little while since my last post, but that’s because I have been happily, and slightly manically, cooking in the kitchen for y’all! Since completing the Beef and Butter cleanse, I have settled into a happy routine of losing around 4 pounds each week, simply by eliminating nuts, dairy, sweeteners and alcohol MondayContinue reading “Is It Time For Another Cleanse?”
