Coke Zero is made with aspartame. HWC floats with it are awesome!

Well that takes care of that...I'm super sensitive to aspartame...gives me headaches and I never get headaches. I'll try it with Zevia rootbeer! Mmmm

I've had a few days like that too. Logging is what tends to keep me in line. I put it on the log before I eat it and reality gives me a Leroy Gibbs smack.

Buffy...most of my days are like yours with the macros. I thought that was ideal!

Another NCIS fan!!! Love it!!!!

Log and numbers for today.

Calories: 1622

Fat: 144
Pro: 74
Car: 16

78/18/3

Breakfast: CO & coffee.
Lunch: Tilapia fried in bacon grease mmm mmm, bacon (wellspring of said grease), broccoli, jalapenos.
Dinner: T of CO. (lunch was late-ish).
Snack: HWC float.

Just a little salt and pepper on my bacon grease fried fish. Very tasty. I'll probably do that again tomorrow. I had another float slotted for this evening but I'm still full from lunch and I just had the CO.

That is awful! Like a pre-sparklie vampire cursed to walk the earth with no rest and no Coke Zero.

I admit to being totally addicted to that dang show! Best show on TV. Even the LA one is good.

I never would have seen it if it weren't for TV watching family members cause I don't watch TV otherwise.

Shelley, diet rite is made with sucralose/splenda and so are Hansen's diet sodas. I don't have trouble with aspartame but do try to go the splenda or stevia route.

I make goat milk soap and I buy my olive oil at Sams. After I figure shipping into the picture it is just as cheap to buy retail for me. I buy coconut oil in a 50 pound bucket and it is refined but I do use it for cooking my morning eggs since I don't want coconut flavored eggs. Otherwise I use Organic CO from TTraditions

Yup, me too. Aspartame is not my friend. But as Buffy mentioned, Hansens and RC/Diet Rite don't use it. I actually sent RC an email thanking them for not using anything but sucralose. I like the Hansens Mandarin Lime with HWC, but it may be an acquired taste.

I just realized that I've never actually said hello.

Hello, charming high fat eaters! I've so enjoyed following these threads. Your enjoyment and success has encouraged me to lower my protein and up the fat and I am feeling less hungry and more energetic despite my casual approach. Thank you.

For 1 filet, I meltb1 T of butter in a nonstick skillet, sprinkle te butter w paprika, salt and pepper, then lay filet in the butter over lowish to medium hast. Let brown nicely, and repeat seasonings on the top. Turn gently and brown the other side. When done, slide out of pan onto your plate and then scrape all the remaining butter and crispy bits onto your fish. My kids and I love it this way. Mr. Buffy does not like fish so he gets a different meat.

yours sounds great, I will try it, DH doesn't like fish many ways, deep fried is his favorite. I can't get the almond flour to stick to it, know a trick?

Pat

Welcome! I too enjoy considerable coffee...never measured the oz, but I know the mug holds 24, couple of those, travel mug, cup at work....all with HWC and coconut cream (which I am out of now, Trader Joes has the best!!), so moved to unsweetened coconut milk.

One night I was sick, had really really bad bathroom issues, you KWIM. Ran to the loo, passed out, hit my head on the tub, came to on the floor in a real "mess" again, you KWIM. DH jumped out of bed, had heard me hit my head and asked me if he should call 911. I said,
"Oh H*)) no, please God, just let me die here before you ever let anyone see me like this! "

Lucky you Buffy....mine actually called them....yep, I wake up to four EMS standing over me checking my glucose. I can laugh 20 years later...

I know they should have been called, turns out I had suffered a small brain bleed which caused me to pass out, then hitting my head on the tub caused a concussion, not sure what caused all the bathroom issues which preceded all that but it was an experience I dont want to repeat!

YourvDH didvthevright thing!

okay, I must be way behind the times...where are the Soap Supply Companies????

I have used Diet Coke Splenda and it's quite yummy. Barq's root beer too. thinking about dr pepper, but not there yet

[Buffy45]

Actually didn't do horrible today, even though I teetered on losing control. I did eat more than usual but didn't go over 1700 calories and the highest fat day I have ever had.

My brisket turned out very fatty, with crispy parts and yummy.

It was posted in the thread you posted to. google Columbus foods or soapers choice. Same company different division. Then there are about a zillion more that sell oils for soapmaking. BUT soapers choice has good prices but doesn't sell in small quantities. The 7# bottles are similar to a gallon jug.
