Low Carb/Keto Recipe Thread

@Latestarter. Unfortunately milking goats and running a dairy don't mix too well with camping...unless I go in the winter...I used to do that too. When my boys were in Scouts their troop went camping almost every month and my DH and I quite often went as well; we were both assistant Scout masters.

When the boys were younger we used to go to Yosemite quite often, as well as other places. It was a big part of our summers. Here's a picture of my son and I going up Half Dome. Oh to be young again.

Our hard headed neighbor friend hasn't tried the bread recipes yet so we made a bunch to take to her.

The 90 second microwave bread makes a darn good grilled cheese sandwich!

A grilled cheese was lunch today.

Low Carb "pasta" for me tonight using zucchini strips instead of pasta. Teresa needs her carbs so hers is on the right with regular pasta and zucchini along with some of the keto flat bread and lamb meatballs.

Keto Tacos tonight. No pkg mix- we just add our favorite Mexican spices to ground beef.

We love those multi- colored mini sweet peppers and use them for lots of things. Stuff some meat in there, top with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro. The peppers give you that taco shell crunch and they’re low carb- roughly 5 carbs in 3 peppers. Yum!

Great idea!

I have to try that bread. I have found some low carb hot dogs and really want to eat them with a bun. I also want a big juicy hamburger...with bun. And my "egg McMuffin" sandwiches for breakfast would be good again too.

Do any of you make "fat bombs"? I am losing very little weight on this diet compared to what I read from many others; and I don't cheat. I lost a lot more when I was on Medifast, but I am sticking to this as my DH is a diabetic and this is better for him. He won't even try Medifast. But it is a little frustrating to not see the scales budge. A friend tells me to eat more fat.

I dropped 14 pounds in a couple of weeks but of course it then slowed down since I think a lot of the early loss is water weight. I stalled for several days but then cut down on portion size and had more small meals rather than the normal 3 main meals. I did that back when I was younger and an active weight lifter but the thought is the same. We are all active but our metabolism has slowed down as we age. I'm still above where I want to be but the smaller servings works for me.

I was looking at recipes for fat bombs today. Some of them look delicious. I haven't made any though. I do drop pounds when I do this. I can even drink a glass of wine on weekend evenings and can keep losing. But, I'm with Mike - smaller portion sizes help for me. I find that my appetite decreases after being on the program for about a week - 10 days. Thank goodness!
