seems really low Pro, but my BG's are good, and ketones up. gonna try this and see where my energy goes.- hopefully not too low!

Claire, hard to imagine that little amount of food, or so it looks, can add up to that many calories, but it happens quickly with the high fat, doesn't it?

I am going to end my day way low on protein today as well, from what I read though, it won't hurt here and there but not something we want to do regularly b/c of the danger of losing LBM. But, I really don't know, just going by things I read. I do try to stay at the lower end of my range on protein.

Passion - How did you make the lemon fat bomb?

[Passion68]

Bella, thank you for asking! I used what I had on hand:

1/2 cube (salted) butter (room temp)
1/2 block cream cheese (room temp)
Several TBS Splenda
lemon juice - to taste
lemon zest - 1/4 tsp-ish

Using a mixer, blend first three ingred, then mix in juice and zest. Freeze until desired consistency.

For inspiration:
Fat Bombs are Da Bomb! :)

[clairie]

wow that lemon fat bomb sounds wonderful!!

Well, my low pro experiment went down the drain.. I had super high ketisis reading. 4.4, but felt horrible and had such low energy I just wanted to sleep.

today I rebounded by focusing on more protein, still in range - 90g and backing off the fat a little. I am feeling better already.

lunch was tricky today- ate at a restaurant. ordered nicoise salad no dressing and at the tuna, avocado and a few green beans. lots of s&p

dinner will be skillet chicken w evoo, and some parmesan on top.
dessert is sf jello and a little sunflower butter.

my weight went up despite the high ketones. proves to me that just because I am in ketosis doesn't mean I am burning stored fat, just burning fat and that can be from my food- not from my butt!

workouts mellow the last few days, not pushing it, and keeping my heart rate in the "green zone" - for me at 39 means around 135 bpm

happy Monday!

Oh, I have to make these. I sometimes just mix CC with a good lemon flavoring that I have with a couple of drops of stevia or splenda and I love that, these sound awesome.

[Sueparl]

Could someone please tell me what these are? Thanks!!!

Hey all, I have been looking at your menus here and I see a lot of dairy. My question is, is there anyone here that can't eat dairy (b/c of allergy)? And, do you guys have elimination problems from eating so much dairy? I stopped eating cheese a while back b/c it's one of those foods that I have a hard time stopping- so I just don't eat it. However, it is a high fat food, and I see that it's an easy food to up the fat content. Also, do you guys focus on dairy from grass feed beef? Thanks!

Sason, I know when I stop/reduce cheese consumption, I lose weight faster. And, yes, the low carb WOE stops a lot of us up. I am basing that comment from the daily weigher thread comments. Before LC, I was regular on a daily basis. Now it's every 2-3 days. Part of that could be, however, I am eating way less than I used to.

ETA: What helps the stopping up is to consciously remember to eat carb friendly produce such as Romaine, lettuce, etc.
