Whaaaat 2.9??! That's basically 3!!! 

GREAT job!!! I love Keto! The food is awesome!!!! I'm making caramel custard this week that's kind of like flan which I LOVE!!!! I tried fasting when I was a teenage and was told it was the wrong way to go. I should have told them to shut the F up and followed my instincts! :-) 

wow that sounds amazing! I'm really obsessed with the sugar free strawberry Jello! I love flan so much but I have no idea how to make a Keto friendly version of it :( I cant wait to start the fasting as well. It seems to really be working for you and Brandi!! :)  

YOU ARE AN ANGEL!!!! THANKS! :)  

There are a ton of recipes on this website and online in general. Just search for low carb or keto and if you have a specific food in mind, add that to the search. Like, I knew I wanted to make cabbage and bacon together because I loved it as a kid when my grandmother made it. So I searched for low carb bacon and cabbage recipes and voila! Fried bacon and cabbage. It was awesome too! LOL

She's got a lot of great recipes on that website. Enjoy! :-) 

btw, be careful with the sugar fee stuff. It's loaded with artificial sweeteners that will derail your progress. I hate plain water but I'm learning to love it. I used to add lemon juice and sweet n low to it but I had to kick it to the curb. :-) 

nice! Thank you for all of the tips! I hate plain water too but I've learned that drinking it with a straw makes it go down faster and I've actually been hitting a gallon a day! Before I was only doing maybe a forced glass or two a day but I'm a Diet Coke fiend lol That and pizza have definitely been the hardest to give up. I definitely do have the Keto flu; sore throat and everything!! Makes it hard but I'm pushing through so I can see bigger results :)  

Knocking down my diet coke addiction was a big plus to losing weight. 

Once you push past the flu; you'll be good. I was bouncing off the walls this morning. lol I love my pizza too. This recipe will help you not miss it so much. :-) http://healthylivinginbodyandmind.com/cheesy-pepperoni-pizza-roll-ups/ 

Hang in there I was a Diet Coke freak and once I had been off it for awhile I don't even like it. But I still fall off the wagon with food sometimes. Once you get your head in the right place other things fall in line.
