I have found great success for weight loss by following low carbohydrate and ketogentic diets most of my adult life. Where I struggle is staying fast to the diet for long periods of time. Inevitably, once I reach my goal weight, and I always do, I find myself falling back into old eating patterns and gaining weight. It’s important when choosing a low carb lifestyle to stay committed to it for a lifetime but allow for a few cheats along the way in order to keep from backsliding into carbohydrate oblivion. I love eating low carb or ketogentically because it works, I get full, and I don’t crave for sweets and grains after the third week.

I use a iPhone app called CarbManager that tracks my carbohydrates each day. You can also find MyFitness app that has a recipe builder and a bar scanner feature to be really exact with your daily carb information. I allow for 30 grams of carbs per day and can lose about 1 pound a week during my goal setting phase, if I stay on the plan. Once I’ve reach my goal weight, I bump my carb intake to under 60 per day to maintain my weight loss.  

I recently started eating low carb-ketogentic January 22, 2018, after going crazy on carbs and eating junk food for several years, I weighed in at 188 pounds, the most I’ve weighed in my lifetime. I felt terrible, hated they way I looked and felt in my clothes. I’ve lost 23 pounds and still cheated … a LOT and I feel great! 

Wrapping your brain around eating foods high in fat and protein can be difficult if you’ve spent a lifetime counting calories. There are hundreds of new studies that confirm that eating low carb diets are changing the face of cancer and obesity Worldwide as well as, curing children and adults with autism, epilepsy, diabetes, and heart disease. 

One such study has been chronicled in a Netflix original movie called The Magic Pill.

Could the ‘magic pill’ to the chronic disease epidemic be… food?

What if most of our modern diseases are really just symptoms of the same problem? The Magic Pill follows doctors, patients, scientists, chefs, farmers and journalists from around the globe who are combating illness through a paradigm shift in eating. And this simple change – embracing fat as our main fuel – is showing profound promise in improving the health of people, animals and the planet.

The great new movie The Magic Pill, featuring plenty of familiar low-carb faces including the diet doctor Andreas Eenfeldt, MD, is now available on Netflix in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. You can watch the trailer below.

Johnny Appleton  is one of the best © Ketogenic Diet Resources I have found online. The website is chock full of information that helps to decide how to set your goals for low carb and ketogentic eating as well as, recommended fats and snack ideas. There are many resources to choose from when considering such a big lifestyle change, be sure to do your research and talk to your doctor. 

 

My dad taught me how to make Tuna Patties when I was a kid and we still eat them to this day however, his recipe uses saltines crackers in place of the pork rinds. Adding the pork rinds yields a great depth of flavor and low carb option for one of my favorite childhood meals, its delicious either way!

For the love of Alphabet noodles here’s a big bo For the love of Alphabet noodles here’s a big bowl of Alphabet Chicken  Corn Soup.

I like the noodles better than the broth so I make mine, noodle heavy! If you prefer more broth just add another 8 ounces liquid and more seasoning. 
RECIPE:
1 7-ounce package alphabet noodles
16 ounces chicken stock
1 cup chopped roasted chicken breast
1 chicken bullion cube
1/2 cup cooked frozen corn
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons butter

In a medium stock pot, bring chicken stock to a boil. Add bullion cube and stir until dissolved. Add alphabet noodles and stir. Cook until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn and chicken cubes. Mixture will be thick.

Add butter, salt and pepper. Stir until butter is melted. 

Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
ENJOY 😉

Shut the front door!! It worked! Old Fashioned Bak Shut the front door!! It worked! Old Fashioned Baked Apples made with canned cinnamon rolls and Orange Soda are DELICIOUS! The soda gives the sauce a beautiful Amber color, the perfect compliment to the tart apples. Just Heavenly! I’ll be making this again!

RECIPE:
3-4 small apples cored and cut in half
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls w icing)
1 cup butter, divided
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (12 fluid ounces) canned orange soda

1. Preheat oven 350F.
2. Grease large cast iron skillet
3. Cut apples in half and remove cores with a melon baller. Open cinnamon rolls and gently unwind until flat, on a pice of waxed paper.
Place another pieces of waxed paper over the dough. Using a rolling pin, gently roll dough so it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into equal squares.
4. Fill each apple with a dollop of butter then lay a piece of dough over the cut side and wrap apple in dough. The dough won’t reach around the entire Apple, this is fine. Place wrapped apples in cast iron pan
5. Melt butter and sugar in a small sauce pan. Add the orange soda and mix to combine. Pour warm mixture over apple dumplings.
6. Cover and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until Golden brown
Drizzle cooked apples with icing and serve warm.
ENJOY!!

I’m playing mad scientist in the kitchen today u I’m playing mad scientist in the kitchen today using up pantry items to make Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings. 
 
The recipe calls for crescent rolls but we ate those at Thanksgiving. Good news, I had a can of cinnamon rolls which I think will do the trick! The Recipe also calls for a can of Mountain Dew (TM) soda. I didn’t have that either so I’m substituting Sunkist Orange soda. That should work!? 

Risky?? Naw!

I’m excited because  they already smell divine! Stay tuned for the reveal.

My Meyer Lemons are plump and super juicy this yea My Meyer Lemons are plump and super juicy this year (trees have been in the ground and producing for three years). Sadly, the skins are imperfect this season.
I’m not sure if the tree is still to close to the ground and fruit is picking up dust or if Texas humidity had something to do with the defect? @chefpjcopithorne What’s your expert opinion? 

Despite their imperfections, they will make the most delicious Habanero Meyer Lemon Jelly and Lemon Curd. @lanzijosee Your care package will be sent out with a few jars of both this week. Their not beautiful but they taste amazing! #happycanning #meyerlemon #gardentotable #jelly #lemoncurd
