I have really bad news: the restaurant that made the shawarma pizza has CLOSED! I may try to get ahold of the former owner and ask how he made it. If I have any success, I’ll let you know, and I’ll post the recipe here.

Hi,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. As you can see, I dropped off the blogging for awhile, but I have been thinking about your comment regarding the Adkins snacks. I wonder myself if they have slowed my weight loss.

This past weigh in, I lost 2 pounds. I have been out of Adkins for about 2 weeks. I’m going to eat one a day starting today and see if/how that affects my next weigh in. Of course, it’s not a given that other things may affect the loss, but we’ll see.

Also, regarding need to have something with taste. I heartily agree! I plan to be on keto for awhile, and I definitely don’t crave sugary treats as much as I used to, but I still want something to fill that emotional hole, I guess. I like the 70% squares of chocolate topped with natural peanut butter, and I make the chocolate mousse recipe once in a while. I would like to make that lime jello with cream cheese recipe more often, but it’s a tiny bit more complicated than the other two choices. Please let me know if you come across any other sweet treat substitutes and I’ll post them on my blog.
Thanks for writing and good luck on your keto journey!

Hi Kim, Thanks for writing!

I am so surprised and happy that my blog encourages you. I mainly started writing it to keep myself honest. I have to write when I eat things like churros, so there’s a little more pressure to stay on track.

However, I actually forget that someone may read the blog. LOL. It usually seems more like a private journal while I’m writing.

I really appreciate your comment, because it has motivated me to continue. I take 2 steps forward and 1 step back, but I am getting ahead slowly, but surely. Knowing that my struggles and the tricks or tips I discover can help you and possibly others is a nice bonus. I know I’m not struggling alone!

Thanks again for taking time to comment. Good luck on keto. Let me know how you succeed!

What should I do, to get the ball rolling again for my weight loss? And do u find that u lack energy before work outs? Cuz I find I have to force myself and I feel so tired to work out.

I just wanted to tell u what I’m eating and get your feedback on it. Do you think I’m eating too little maybe?

I eat

3-4 eggs a day
3 peanut butter spoon before work out
A handful of raw almonds
Lean chicken breast
Salmon, tilapia, cod fish, 2 slices OR a handful of lean ground beef
A bowl of spinach with olive oil or a bowl of celery
Crystal light – water- diet coke – green tea- black coffee

I feel so hopeless. I have friends who eat things that I can’t..cuz the diet forbids it.. like fruit or smoothies for example..and they are losing weight faster than I am.
What do you suggest I do?

For exercise I go for 45 min power walk/jog and I’ll do the victoria secret fat blast work out or tiffany rothe workouts online on youtube. Or I’ll go to the gym and use the strength training machines, weights and elliptical for an hour and a half.
Generally 4-6 times a week.

If you can offer any critique or help it’d be much appreciative, thanks!!

I was wondering about your Keto Desserts, have u been eating the atkins bars, how much and have they spiked or effected ur keto diet in anyway. Im curious since its difficult not eating anything with taste, or deasert type…i recently got into sugar free jello but thats about it and i heard there are zero carb cookies but u have to order them online. let me know. bye kate!

Yes! Thank you. I just found this out from my son two days ago and didn’t post about it yet. His fiance looked up the carbs incorrectly. No more KFC original breasts for me! The grilled chicken is by far the better option.

Unfortunately for Brandon, he was eating them two at a time. LOL. You live and learn.

Thanks for your comment. I should probably put a disclaimer on each post that mentioned the KFC, in case some one just reads that post and doesn’t check before eating one.
