Watch out when you cross a busy street!!

Started Keto in the late summer of last year, dropped 65# in 2.5 months. Fell off the wagon a little harder than I thought and am now back up 20#. Easing my way back into it this week with plans to hit the 200# mark and stick with a cleaner eating lifestyle. My wife loves pasta and enjoys hamburger helper so it’s a little tough to keep her happy while keeping my body happy. I felt phenomenal while I was in Ketosis, and have felt like crap the last couple of months eating like I used to. Looking forward to feeling better everyday again for sure!
One of my favorite quick meals last time was venison taco meat with a pile of cheese, sour cream, salsa, all on a bit of spinach. Was the only way I could still eat “tacos” while on Keto and I loved it!

I was going to try that cracker recipe to make taco shells, minus the chives.  Then fry it.

Try those cheese shells you have to cook from Costco. They're fantastic and strong.

Inspired by everyone, so the wife and I started today. Ate all the foods we love watching that boring Superbowl. Hopefully we have the same results as alot of you.

Been on it for about a week, haven’t dropped much for weight yet. Started the “keto flu” today, so they should be dropping soon. I feel a lot better a have more energy these last couple days. Here’s a couple things we’ve made the last couple nights;

Keto Lasagna-
1 package venison burger
1 package classic sausage links
1 brick cream cheese(couldn’t find ricotta in the store)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
Shredded mozzarella 
1 egg
2 heads broccoli
Low carb pasta sauce.
Cook burger and sausage, slice sausage into chunks. Add sauce and simmer. Mix Cream cheese(ricotta), Parmesan, and egg in a bowl until smooth. Thin layer of sauce/meat mixture in the bottom of a pan, broccoli florets then cream cheese(ricotta) mixture, cover with more meat sauce and then top with cheese and bake until broccoli is tender and cheese is melted/bubbly.

Bacon crust pizza
1 package bacon
Sliced salami
Pizza sauce
Cheese
Veggies of choice
Bacon bits (not necessary, but more bacon!!!)

Weave bacon on baking sheet and bake at 400 with a cookie rack on top to keep it flat for 25 minutes or until crispy. Layer of salami, sauce to add moisture, veggies(we did mushrooms, onions, green peppers) lots of cheese and we added bacon bits. Bake again until cheese is brown/bubbly. Added a dollop of ranch as I’m an addict of that stuff.

It was delicious, and made killer leftovers for lunch! And yes, I’m sure a few too many calories!

Here’s a Keto recipe I found yesterday, made it tonight for dinner, wife loved it.

And I did put it over rice, recipe calls for 1/4 sour cream, with the rice next time I’ll use a 1/2 cup sour cream for a saucier effect.👍

Looks good! Might have to try it but minus the rice to keep it keto (and the wife isn’t a rice fan)

Signing off of the keto trend after a trip to the doctors and talking with my specialist. Easy to get sucked into the trend, but I will say the weight loss I saw was not worth it.

Paying for it pretty good now, but glad I caught the issue now this early in the stage compared to 7 years ago.

Care to expound on that? Pretty vague?

Well I have been on Keto since the beginning of January and have dropped 15 lbs.  All and all the experience is going great.  I've learned a lot on what I can and cant eat.  But I did experience something I wasn't expecting and it may or may not have been because of Keto.  I went into Afib earlier this week and had to get my heart shocked twice to get it back to normal rhythm.  I'm 40, 230 lbs, and have never once had a heart issue of any sort.  So I told the Doc about my Keto diet and they told me that its possible that its from the diet but really would never know.  But who knows...I'll still keep rockin the diet.  Gotta get my beach bod ready for Hawaii. LOL
