wapiti Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I've gotten lazy - I just throw a little extra olive oil on my food after cooking for the rest of the family. Mostly I just try not to eat the carb that I made for them. For myself, to keep on track, I like to make homemade ice cream with little sugar. It wouldn't taste sweet enough to a person not eating low-carb, which usually, but not always, keeps the kids out of it. I got an ice cream maker at costco. I whip 3.5 c heavy cream (plus vanilla and/or chocolate and whatever other flavors) with about 1/8c brown sugar, more or less depending on my mood. If I keep my serving size reasonable, that'll last me about a week or so, maybe 10 servings. I save it for an afternoon or after-dinner treat to keep myself from eating something more carb-y. I would not try this until after you've been low-carbing for at least two weeks unless you leave out sugar altogether; with the sugar I put in, it isn't really quite low-carb enough for that time period. I use myfitnesspal to make carb calculations for recipes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflowerlady Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I was going to recommend Peace Love and Low carb! Not a blog, but the site Low Carb Friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks Wapiti...that sounds delicious! :drool5: I'm staying under 50 carbs right now and easing into 30 carbs next week. I've found this works way better for me and I still lose the weight and feel so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 If you happen to have a small, personal-size/bullet-style blender, you can stick some heavy cream in it and basically make instant whipped cream. You know, for emergencies :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite5 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm on day two and I would like to make this a life time change. What's your favorite blog or recipes...please! :D My favorite blog is : http://peaceloveandlowcarb.com I love to make taco salads--I get lots of veggies in, plus good fat with avocado. Sometimes we grill black bean burgers and I cut one and put in on a taco salad. I make full fat cauliflower and broccoli cheese soup (I use an immersion blender to blend in the cauliflower--you will never even know it's there!) Do you drink coffee? Bulletproof coffee each morning is my friend. Spinach salad with red onion, blackberries (just a few!) and avocado. YUM! My dh loves salami wrapped around either feta or mozzarella cheese with a piece of basil and a cherry tomato. If I want dessert, I eat fruit. It is plenty sweet enough after not eating much sugar at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 When you make your bulletproof coffee do you use brain octane or just coconut oil and butter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I just use Kerrygold unsalted butter and a little coconut oil. I have some MCT oil (NOW brand) but I haven't used it in a while. hmmm... (trying to get back on the wagon here!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I am a bulletproof coffee failure. I've exploded my blender twice, spewing hot coffee and oil all over. When I finally succeeded at keeping it in the blender, it wasn't hot enough so it was gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickerplum Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Good timing - I just started! Looking forward to more info! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Adding to the conversation, I like to go to Pinterest and search "low carb pizza/tuna salad/whatever I want to eat". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickerplum Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'm trying this out because I read LCHF can help cortisol/adrenal health. I'm hoping it's true because I enjoy carbs :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple favorites: Enchilada Bake (I always double the recipe, just made it last night) and Thai Peanut Chicken Curry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunflowerlady Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Tammy, I am glad you are feeling better. I am doing pretty well and have been back at it for three weeks. I am down eight pounds. Most of it was in the first week and was likely the water weight. Then the last two weeks have been one pound a week losses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 When I make bulletproof coffee, I use my immersion blender. It works great. I'm scared to try this. Do you use a cup with a lid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 I put it in a tall National cup you get when you go to baseball games and use the immersion blender. Works great and pour it in my mug and take off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I am back to LC and here is one of my "staple" foods: take a thin slice of (deli) ham and put a bit of cream cheese and either a dill pickle slice or a spoonful of sauerkraut on it. Roll up and eat. Makes a great snack when you have carb cravings. Sometimes I'll have 3 or 4 for lunch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I have been (back to) low carb since Jan 15. I'm finishing my third week of a Whole 30. I miss the dairy, but enjoy the fruit! I feel great on low carb; it works for my body, even if I lose weight at a very slow rate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I am back on the LC wagon too. Suzanne Somers has some good recipes in her books. Not sure if there is a website. On of my favs is pork chops with creamy red wine sauce. Brown chops in butter onmedium heat, about 4-5 mins on each side and remove from pan. Add chopped onions and a bit of garlic and saute until golden brown. Add more butter if the pan is too dry. Add 1 C red wine to pan and reduce to about half. Add 1/2 C. heavy cream. S &P to taste and add chops back into pan and ehat for just a minute or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Jalapeno poppers are one of my favorite LC snacks. Jalapenos with cream cheese inside, wrapped in bacon and baked!, Seconding the dill pickles or kraut as a snack too! What is it about these that helps kill the carb craving? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarasue7272 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I'm scared to try this. Do you use a cup with a lid? I do what TammyinVA does! Or I use the tall cup that came with the blender, it holds about 24oz and I just make a mug full at a time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
