Hippymom's Journal, 22 January 2018

Day 12 of Keto and I have lost 12 pounds total. I will take it. It is a lot of work but it is so worth it. I can zip my favorite coat again. I wore a shirt today that I haven't wore in almost a year. My skin is clearer, and my mood is more stable. I have had some cravings the last couple of days but I blame that on mother nature and hope that the cravings will pass. I can't believe I've lost 12 pounds in less than two weeks. I am very hopeful that I will see the scale hit the 100's by the end of next month. I have not been under 200lbs in 8 years. :)
216.0 lb Lost so far: 12.0 lb.    Still to go: 71.0 lb.    Diet followed 100%.

Great! Can you share some of your food ideas? I’ve been struggling coming up with new foods and I have just started keto

Firstly I don't eat meat so that made for a tricky start for me. I love salads and eat those often. Also eggs. Haha, I have learned so many ways to cook eggs and they are filling and extremely low on carbs. Fried eggs, baked eggs, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs. I made a pizza one day and the crust was eggs, cream cheese, and cream of tartar. It turned out to be so tasty. Also I was craving brownies one day and mixed egg whites, cream cheese, and unsweetened cocoa and two chopped up strawberries, I baked it and it came out better than expected. The entire thing had 4 carbs and was the size of a pitta bread. I have found pintrest to be very helpful for me. As well as keeping up with my food on the food chart this website has. I tend to not eat until 12 and get all my food in by 6. No wrap fajita's are amazing. Today I had fried eggs with cheese around lunch Only 2 carbs. Then later I had fajitas smothered in cheese.(onion, pepper, shrooms, tomatoes quac. salsa)15 carbs then I had cauliflower rice this evening with a buffalo fake chicken wrap. 13 carbs I use flax seed lavish wraps which are huge so I cut it into 4ths and only eat a 4th at a time. I stick to 30 carbs a day. But I do not waste any carbs on drinks. Another meal that I absolutely love is Mann's power blend mix sautéed (found in produce section at ingles by the bag)I add feta cheese. It is so so good. I can eat a cup and a half with 1/4 cup of feta and it is only 7 grams of carbs so I usually pair it with a kale salad. I measure EVERYTHING I eat. I'm not sure if I am helping at all with my food ideas but this Is a few examples of things that work for me. I make soups too from scratch. Also cheese chips! But table spoon size mounds of cheese on a pan, bake until crisp and then you have some chips you can use for low carb dips.
