You are one of my top favorite keto personalities, and I’m glad that you’re not caught up in the fasting and that you are now going higher protein, which are my goals as well. Trying to skip breakfast in the morning always made me feel terrible, so I can’t wait to see how adding it back in is going to help everything.
I've done keto and IF bit also have moved to higher protein. Ive always loved your content and fabulous recipes! Adding salami to my grocery list because yum! Those egg bites look amazing! And so does the salad! At 60 years old I can testify that it gets so much harder to lose weight as we age. Upping the protein makes a world of difference!
You gave slimmed down so much. Congratulations! You look great. Please make more what I eat in a day videos like this. I’m trying to eat more protein and lower carbs as well and I need ideas. Thank you.
Thank you! I've been trying to be carnivore for at least 8 months -- not very successfully. It's just too restrictive. This video was exactly what I needed. Silly me, I needed a reminder that eating vegetables, olive oil, and even lupin pasta is okay. Immediately I felt relieved and went out and bought ingredients to make the chopped salad. I love your sense of humor and realness. Keeps me coming back.
Same, about the carnivore. For me it has been 3 months. My issue is I'm a gardener and I eat my vegetables from my garden and garden season's coming up in my region and this summer I will be eating my garden so I guess I'll be ketovore. One thing I do realize about being carnivore and not having all the inflammation or the pain I will not ever go back to processed foods. I will incorporate my veggies though and fruit.
@@mistyriennett5902 Agree about how carnivore makes me feel. I have more energy, my mood lifts, bloat goes away, all those great things. But meat and eggs all the time tastes "dark" to me so, adding a few tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, fresh herbs, green onions, etc "brightens" up flavor. Gardening is fun so it hard to give up fresh veggies.
I haven't been watching any videos for awhile. You look Fantastic! You've always been beautiful but now more Fit, Healthy and Happy. I need to get back on the band wagon seeing you has inspired me. Thank you for continuing to make videos and sharing you life and results with us.
You remain my favorite low carb/keto. Your recipes are THE BEST, your sponsorship selection is always spot on and so are your observations on this lifestyle as a whole. I'mma do the protein thing. I'm in Portland!
I'm still doing IF 16/8 with 2 meals a day and often a protein snack mid afternoon when I'm laboring outside gardening and landscaping. Increasing protein has really improved my strength and energy. And it has eliminated my nighttime craving for sweet snacks :)
Well, lifting weights 5 days a week is a big part of the reason you have slimmed down!! (So wonderful that you are addressing those older person problems BEFORE you get old!!!)
It seems the observed general progression goes weight loss with keto, followed by muscle gain with upping the protein. Too much protein when you’re not working out will slow results, not upping the protein when you start to work out will slow the gains. Sometimes people think advice is contradictory, it’s not it’s just in its correct season and for the right audience. I noticed once I actually got into my perfect BMI I started to look scrawny on keto and I needed to add more protein, a tad more carbs(carb cycling with sweet potatoes, not M&Ms) and lifting weights.
The advice for people not to take too much protein and make sure that they’re doing actual keto macros when they’re trying to just lose that weight and stay satiated still still stands. It literally depends on what part of the journey you’re on.
I chuckled at the casserole video only because I learned to watch the whole videos before I spend the time, writing it down and saving it …… so I think I will cook the garlic by itself ahead of time then it’ll be cool and make sure it’s done so thank you very informative
Processed meat such as salami, peperoni, or even deli ham isn't great though. Made the mistake of eating processed meats doing low carb high protein. There is protein then there is healthy protein.
When I make a large chopped salad, I put it in the salad spinner, in refrig, of course. Just put it back in the spinner basket, basket in bottom, lid on top. It stays fresh for several days. I used to use a plastic bag with a paper towel and within a day it was turning.
I loved this! I think i'm going to try the pasta dish but just peel and separate my garlic cloves beforehand. That whole putting the whole thing in there with the outer layer is just making more work for yourself. Just peel the garlic and sprinkle them in the dish and they will soften into a paste even faster and you won't have to pick 'garlic peel' out your dish. I do this when I bake leg of lamb or a roast and it never fails me. lol
I was sooo addicted to soda. Like a druggy I had to quit cold turkey and keep telling myself "soda is poison- wrecking my health" I also, thought about the soda companies getting filthy rich off a product they know is terrible for health, and filling our oceans & dumps with plastic & aluminum! I admit, it was pretty hard, but I did it. I dont even think about it anymore. Dont give up!
@@happy777abc Thank you! I've never heard of it & will look it up. I hope its available in my area.👍💖......just saw that Walmart carries it, will definitely buy!!!🔥
Thank you for this helpful & healthy info. I was eating Chicken Crust pizza, your delicious recipe, while watching your new video. 🍕 You are such a blessing❣
Congratulations on the weight loss, that is amazing. I have been reading and looking into increasing my protein and starting to lift weights but haven't really stayed consistent on it yet. After seeing the change in you, I am reassured that this what I need to do to be successful. I'd love to see more or learn more about your journey and what you are doing for exercise and continued suggestions for daily protein options to reach the protein goals.
Thanks for the low carb/high protein content! I also lift, and when I was strict keto (high fat, moderate protein) I was losing hair and struggling to put on muscle. Keto was a great way to start my weight loss journey, but now I find that cutting carbs, avoiding added sugar, and lifting heavy is the way to go.
I am post menopause and I believe this is part of the reason I'm struggling with losing weight is because I don't eat enough protein. I tried the egg cups made with Canadian bacon, they're really good and will keep making them. Thanks, you always put out good content mixed with humor.
I also do low carb, trying to keep under 60 carbs per day, and only eaten carbs along with a protein. I also do intermittent fasting - eating most days between 10 and 6:30. I lost 26 lbs in 5 months this way two years ago and have kept it off, mostly. I weigh 107 now at age 82 and 5 ft tall. I rarely feel cravings or even hungry when I stick to this diet plan. I have lots of chicken and fish and mostly sustainably raised, organic not processed foods. Very satisfying. p.s. I have very low self discipline, yet this works for me.
Loved the easy egg bite recipe idea. So easy, and great punch of protein. The Italian chopped salad looks very yummy! How long have you found that lasts in the refrigerator? - Michelle
Hi Annie! I'm curious as to what your daily macros are now on your high protein low carb eating? Also, where do you try to stay with calories per day? I'm trying to stay around 70% Fat / 25% Protein / 5% Carbs. I really don't count calories though. My A1C has dropped significantly but my weight has plateaued for about a year. I do not intermittently fast. You look GREAT BTW!!! 👍🏻
When I need roasted garlic whole in a dish, I prepare it first a little. Whack it root side down on the counter top to help loosen the cloves...if still too compact, whack the top part as well. The point is to loosen the cloves, not remove them...something I learned here in Spain. Microwave it in 30 sec increments until there is a little give when you squeeze the head of garlic...then add it to whatever for baking/roasting in the oven. BUT, be sure to drizzle a little olilve oil on the top as this will help it roast quicker and better. To get the cloves out, you could press the head between two smallish cutting boards and scrape up the pulp. I can handle a lot of heat and so can squeeze out by hand, but in a hurry, the two board trick is indeed quicker.
Love this! I’ve been doing the same for about two months. I’m 50. I’ve been on LC for a long time, just not near enough protein. I aim for 150 grams (my desired weight). Gram per pound
I'm usually pretty good about reading reviews before making a recipe but it seems like the one time I don't, I have the same experience as you did with the casserole (everytime! 🤣) . I'm glad you shared it because it looks delicious and now we all know the right steps to take with it.
put the lettuce and stuff in separate mason jars. I have kept mine around 2 weeks. I also use the mason jar sucker outter thingy. but a paper towel in the bottom of the lettuce jar and spinach and I kept it almost 2 weeks.
I had to have used this same recipe. The same thing happened with me from oven to oven again, then stove top with heavy cream and chunks of half baked garlic. Wasn't too bad, but probably won't do it again. I will be incorporating more protein, as I am at a standstill. 😊
While low carb will absolutely create weight loss, in my case, and I did it for years, It caused increased cholesterol and blood pressure. I am now plant based focusing more on fiber and my system is regular, I am less angry and no longer stress about food but rather love fruits, veggies, and I am not killing other beings to support my life. I no longer need to DIET at all. Lift weights, eat fresh Whole Foods and stop focusing on food. After all, being overweight and needing to diet is very much a privileged problem. There are many countries who don’t have to worry about this at all because they don’t have excess in their life.
You should always wash mushrooms first. They don't absorb much water and you are going to cook them anyway. They are grown in sterilized manure and have bits of it on them.
I love your white salad bowl. I'm looking for the "perfect" salad bowl. Mine are either too small or too big and I eat salads a lot. Thanks for the recipes!
Looks good ! Sounds good . Will try tonight!!! I was just wondering what kind of bake we are do you use ? Thank you . I have subscribed since you start ! Thank you for your dedication and amazing recipes! 😊
I probably would have peeled the garlic and thrown the cloves in amongst the veggies, and roasted them that way. Then just mash them a bit for even distribution.
Definitely going to try your chopped salad. My husband loves an Italian style salad, so if I do what you suggested and mix the dressing and toppings separately, then keep some bags of chopped lettuce, he’ll like that he can make his own, without the lettuce getting wilted. And yes, I always have some salami or pepperoni on hand for a quick protein snack.
I live in Oregon too! Not far from Portland. My husband and I did really well last summer on Carnivore, lost 40lbs, so we just started back on it. I love how I feel on Carnivore! I'm going to try making those egg bites today. 🙂
Omg. What a coincidence! I made the same eggs today but with prosciutto instead of salami and hard cheddar. My egg yolks cooked to much but hubby loved it ❤
Perfect thank you! I am a terrible cook and have been looking for a high protein breakfast that I don't have to make a big mess in the morning. I thought about muffins but couldn't figure out time and temperature. I'm looking forward to trying these tomorrow am :) At 68 I started keto and lost 30 lbs but I also lost all muscle and strength. I've learned that I need 140 gms per day which seems astronomical to me so I'm emphasizing protein over carbs and fat in order to get enough calories.
I can’t do too much protein. I do great on 60-80% fat, 20-35% protein, 5 % carbs. Tried carnivore for 60 days religiously. Lost 3 lbs. Yeah 3 lbs. Turns out some of us turn protein into glucose. Several friends have done great with carnivore/ketovore. Not me though. And I like my avocados, cabbage, asparagus, salads, etc
I do the same kind of thing for breakfast, that I call an egg soufflé. I use at least 12 eggs, some spices, add cheese and whatever meat and veggies I have and mix it. Then I pour the mixture in a large greased baking pan and cook. After 30 minutes or so, I have an egg soufflé. I let it cool a bit and cut it into abut 9 portions that I can eat all week.
I too had a failed Instagram recipe using the same method for baking the garlic. The dish had tomatoes with the cut head of garlic in the center. Roasting at 350 for 40 minutes. The tomatoes were cooked but watery and the garlic was rock hard. 🤨
Thanks for this! I would never take that much time to make a casserole. I think there are a lot of recipes out there that are just not tested. I'm also adding more protein to my keto meals.
I always roast my garlic for an hour. I don't understand why your recipe said half an hour. But it looks like you knew it was needed! The way I cook it is to drizzle it with olive oil and herbs and wrap it tightly in tinfoil and then roast it. I understand that doesn't get the garlic into the vegetables but it does work and is yummy especially as a spread
I'm allergic to Insulin, so I'm only allowed 4 carbs per meal max... 12 per day. I wish I could go back to having more. I can't even eat tomatoes anymore bc the totally spike my blood sugars too much 🤦🏻♀️ I found very few veggies I can actually eat... Supplements to the rescue for vitamins & minerals; unfortunately, even some of those have carbs~ 🤦🏻♀️ WTH!
You look fantastic! I need to increase protein and release weight, so t hanks for the inspo! Have you tried using a silicon muffin pan for egg bites? Perfect for those.
your recipes have always been a success for me. thank you. would you consider creating a keto version of Little Caesar's Crazy Puffs? they look fun and yummy but too many carbs as they are now.
I am so confused. The carnivore people say all keto recipes are hooey. But pure carnivore makes me light headed and I can’t lose weight. Please tell me why keto is better in your opinion.
I have been Carnivore for about 2 years . Lost 76 pounds the first 10 months then reached a plateau. Haven’t lost another ounce. I have tried the eat your goal weight in protein grams! I also tried the calculated .6 x your goal weight and eat that in grams of protein. NEITHER WORKS! I still need to lose 50 pounds. I’m tired of the whole thing. I’m 75 & don’t have that much longer to do this. I also been told just eat meat until satiated. I get full quickly. Didn’t work either. 🤯
IDK how long you've been on a plateau, but sometimes you just have to wait out your body. Take measurements all over... biceps, wrists, calves, thighs, waist, hips, neck, chest, etc. Literally anywhere you ca6put a tape, measure it weekly & note the #s. When I was stuck, my doc had me do that... I wasn't losing lbs on the scale, but my body was redefining itself, moving weight around, toning itself, & whatnot. According to my doc, it was also testing me to see if I would stick to my diet, as I'd dieted b4 without staying power (LOL). I'm not gonna lie & say it only took a month or two to start losing again, bc it took about 6,which was awful TBH... but once I started losing again, it was like in the beginning again 10#, 10#, 5#, etc I'd go by how you're feeling more than anything... do you feel good eating this way? Do you have more energy? Do you have less inflammation or symptoms of whatever? If so, maybe stay the course, bc the diet could be giving you more benefits than you can imagine... Do you have an accountability partner or friend who encourages you on your journey? My doc was mine, & I've found that makes all the difference in the world... this time, I'm doing it solo, it's 100% harder without having someone in your corner who not only keeps you honest, but encourages you when you're feeling frustrated.
you added 33 g of protein from salami but didn't eat the whole salad. did you add protein elsewhere in your lunch? also wash your food before dumping into the dish. i realise the bag of spinach says ready to eat but it really should be washed
I was so excited when I first discovered Lupin pasta.......I rushed and bought 3 different types. To my dismay I discovered I can't tolerate it. I ended up with a terrible stomach ache and bloating like I have never experienced in my life. My heart was broken because I have really missed pasta....but I will have to continue to go through life pastaless. 😢 But yaaaaaaay egg bites. I'm making a bunch of those puppies tomorrow. You look wonderful btw.
I cant eat eggs. Dont know exactly why but I had shingles right as I was finishing going into lenopause. 3 years almost into menopause, and every time I eat eggs I am in severe pain for 3-4 hours! I want some good recipes that can help me eat breakfast with protien, without eggs! Do you have any siggestions? I am in my early 50's, I only take one thyroidedication, and have no other known health issues. I have gained too much this past winter, and am craving only sugar. I think I will watch more of your videos! Thank You!
Understand more carnivore, that is where I am. No sugar, min carbs but I enjoy veggies. A lot of avocados. Still OMAD and eat 4 to 5 pm for 1500 Cals with 3 hour workout, 8.5 mile walk/run for 2 hours, .5 hr stretching and .5 lifting. Everyday.
It is hard to eat again sometimes when I get a lot of protein in one meal. I think that’s also why a lot of people tend to intermittent fast this way. I just worry that I might not be getting enough in. How much protein do you eat a day?
@KetoFocus understand, body hasn't broken down yet with injuries yet, I have hit a plateau on weight loss at 220, so considering a 72 hour fast in a week or two. Have my physical in may, not sure my synthetic thyroid med is working, that may need to change. Oh 1500 calories, fills me up if it carefully manage and eat slowly over the hour
Perfect ❤ as a doctor I advise you to avoid processed meat like salami as much as you can since they are carcinogenic. They raise the risk for colon cancer... Good luck ❤
@@hilarymoshman102 It is true since salami is a processed meat. WHO classifies it as a Group 1 human carcinogen. Research it yourself, you’ll be surprised.
@@hilarymoshman102 The World Health Organization has classified processed meats including ham, bacon, salami and frankfurts as a Group 1 carcinogen (known to cause cancer) which means that there's strong evidence that processed meats cause cancer. Eating processed meat increases your risk of bowel and stomach cancer. I copied paste this to you from Google. Check also pubmed if you are interested....

Hello from a first time viewer who lives in Southern Oregon. 😁 I don’t like to eat meat, as animals are so diseased nowadays, but I’ve found it’s very difficult to get enough protein without eating flesh food. I don’t know 🤷♀️ how vegetarians or vegans accomplish getting enough protein. I’ve intentionally lost 31 lbs in the last 9 months by counting calories. I no longer count calories. I also fast by eating a very light breakfast (banana, peanut butter and a mug of herb tea) and a medium sized lunch (a turkey sandwich w/a few veggies on my sandwich, and sometimes a serving of mashed potatoes [redskins with the skins left on] and a cooked vegetable). Then I don’t eat again until breakfast the next day. I’ve been opposed to Keto because of its high fat content. And now, intermittent fasting is falling into disapproval. What’s a woman to do? It seems there is no ideal manner of eating… 😮 smh 🤦♀️ P.S. I am very allergic to eggs, have severe IBS and Fructose Malabsorption. I can’t exercise because of severe Osteoarthritis and orthopedic problems due to that condition. 😳
What kind of salami do you get? Do you find you have uric acid levels because of the salami? I love salami but I’ve had gout issues that have been triggered by salami.
Seems like many of my favorite keto UA-camrs, you are one of the few I follow now, are amplifying their protein. Me too.
You are one of my top favorite keto personalities, and I’m glad that you’re not caught up in the fasting and that you are now going higher protein, which are my goals as well. Trying to skip breakfast in the morning always made me feel terrible, so I can’t wait to see how adding it back in is going to help everything.

@@jemsmom97 Better to some degree but still so many better options. It sure taste good though.
@@jemsmom97a little is fine. Unless you're allergic. I eat it about 1x a week on average

Doesn't salami have a lot of nitrates in it? Maybe use like a turkey sausage instead. I like my salad with chicken, turkey, or salmon.

I love your white salad bowl. I'm looking for the "perfect" salad bowl. Mine are either too small or too big and I eat salads a lot. Thanks for the recipes!
Love your videos. Thank you.
You’re welcome ❤️
Hey...... never put warm food item inside fridge.... it can damage your fridge cooling system
I add 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream to my egg bites. I add the egg, then the heavy whipping cream then my toppings. They come out so good!!
Looks good ! Sounds good . Will try tonight!!! I was just wondering what kind of bake we are do you use ? Thank you . I have subscribed since you start ! Thank you for your dedication and amazing recipes! 😊
I probably would have peeled the garlic and thrown the cloves in amongst the veggies, and roasted them that way. Then just mash them a bit for even distribution.
Definitely going to try your chopped salad. My husband loves an Italian style salad, so if I do what you suggested and mix the dressing and toppings separately, then keep some bags of chopped lettuce, he’ll like that he can make his own, without the lettuce getting wilted.
And yes, I always have some salami or pepperoni on hand for a quick protein snack.
I live in Oregon too! Not far from Portland. My husband and I did really well last summer on Carnivore, lost 40lbs, so we just started back on it. I love how I feel on Carnivore! I'm going to try making those egg bites today. 🙂
Omg. What a coincidence! I made the same eggs today but with prosciutto instead of salami and hard cheddar. My egg yolks cooked to much but hubby loved it ❤
Perfect thank you! I am a terrible cook and have been looking for a high protein breakfast that I don't have to make a big mess in the morning. I thought about muffins but couldn't figure out time and temperature. I'm looking forward to trying these tomorrow am :) At 68 I started keto and lost 30 lbs but I also lost all muscle and strength. I've learned that I need 140 gms per day which seems astronomical to me so I'm emphasizing protein over carbs and fat in order to get enough calories.
I can’t do too much protein. I do great on 60-80% fat, 20-35% protein, 5 % carbs. Tried carnivore for 60 days religiously. Lost 3 lbs. Yeah 3 lbs. Turns out some of us turn protein into glucose. Several friends have done great with carnivore/ketovore. Not me though. And I like my avocados, cabbage, asparagus, salads, etc
I do the same kind of thing for breakfast, that I call an egg soufflé. I use at least 12 eggs, some spices, add cheese and whatever meat and veggies I have and mix it. Then I pour the mixture in a large greased baking pan and cook. After 30 minutes or so, I have an egg soufflé. I let it cool a bit and cut it into abut 9 portions that I can eat all week.
Kaizen pasta prices are insane. On Amazon, 1 1/2 pounds for 32.00. Absolutely crazy. But thanks for the recipes. I will try the egg bites.
I too had a failed Instagram recipe using the same method for baking the garlic. The dish had tomatoes with the cut head of garlic in the center. Roasting at 350 for 40 minutes. The tomatoes were cooked but watery and the garlic was rock hard. 🤨
I use Mac milk in my coffee. I love it. If I don’t want to do dairy, I’ve found Mac,I’ll is the tastiest alternative.
Thanks for this! I would never take that much time to make a casserole. I think there are a lot of recipes out there that are just not tested. I'm also adding more protein to my keto meals.
Healthy and delish pointers😋
You look great! May I ask, do you stay in a calorie deficit and/or track macros while upping your protein?
I always roast my garlic for an hour. I don't understand why your recipe said half an hour. But it looks like you knew it was needed! The way I cook it is to drizzle it with olive oil and herbs and wrap it tightly in tinfoil and then roast it. I understand that doesn't get the garlic into the vegetables but it does work and is yummy especially as a spread
Thank you for the great ideas, recipes! You Rock!
I am always hungry! 😮I guess I need more protein in my meals. I hope it helps.
Thanks so much :) You are Amazing!
Do you not worry about what’s in the Salami besides meat? Aussie Bob
I love how real you are
20 total carbs is sooooo restrictive for me. I couldn’t keep it up
Yes, I have been experimenting with increasing it.
I'm allergic to Insulin, so I'm only allowed 4 carbs per meal max... 12 per day. I wish I could go back to having more. I can't even eat tomatoes anymore bc the totally spike my blood sugars too much 🤦🏻♀️
I found very few veggies I can actually eat... Supplements to the rescue for vitamins & minerals; unfortunately, even some of those have carbs~ 🤦🏻♀️ WTH!
@@leahrowe847 omg I am so sorry. That sounds dreadful. If you are into alternative solutions check out Joe Dispenza. Maybe that will work?
I like your spray bottle for your avocado oil, I’m going to start doing that!
you HAVE slimmed down!😊 Thx for the recipes.❤
You look fantastic! I need to increase protein and release weight, so t hanks for the inspo! Have you tried using a silicon muffin pan for egg bites? Perfect for those.
your recipes have always been a success for me. thank you. would you consider creating a keto version of Little Caesar's Crazy Puffs? they look fun and yummy but too many carbs as they are now.
That was avocado oil? Shoot! I thought it was Windex! No wonder mine tasted like soap! 😉
😬😉😬😉
You could always roast the garlic separately. 😊
Salami is a great thing. Recently found some chorizo pepperoni I am excited to try.
I am so confused. The carnivore people say all keto recipes are hooey. But pure carnivore makes me light headed and I can’t lose weight. Please tell me why keto is better in your opinion.
Is it reasonable to eat while working in front of the PC?
Awesome video, great recipes too ❤
I have been Carnivore for about 2 years . Lost 76 pounds the first 10 months then reached a plateau. Haven’t lost another ounce. I have tried the eat your goal weight in protein grams! I also tried the calculated .6 x your goal weight and eat that in grams of protein. NEITHER WORKS!
I still need to lose 50 pounds. I’m tired of the whole thing. I’m 75 & don’t have that much longer to do this. I also been told just eat meat until satiated. I get full quickly. Didn’t work either. 🤯
IDK how long you've been on a plateau, but sometimes you just have to wait out your body. Take measurements all over... biceps, wrists, calves, thighs, waist, hips, neck, chest, etc. Literally anywhere you ca6put a tape, measure it weekly & note the #s. When I was stuck, my doc had me do that... I wasn't losing lbs on the scale, but my body was redefining itself, moving weight around, toning itself, & whatnot. According to my doc, it was also testing me to see if I would stick to my diet, as I'd dieted b4 without staying power (LOL). I'm not gonna lie & say it only took a month or two to start losing again, bc it took about 6,which was awful TBH... but once I started losing again, it was like in the beginning again 10#, 10#, 5#, etc
I'd go by how you're feeling more than anything... do you feel good eating this way?
Do you have more energy?
Do you have less inflammation or symptoms of whatever?
If so, maybe stay the course, bc the diet could be giving you more benefits than you can imagine...
Do you have an accountability partner or friend who encourages you on your journey? My doc was mine, & I've found that makes all the difference in the world... this time, I'm doing it solo, it's 100% harder without having someone in your corner who not only keeps you honest, but encourages you when you're feeling frustrated.
This video shows 5 hours ago. You are not eating all these veggies now are you? Made my mouth water.
love this video! I live in Roseburg! xoxoxoxo
you added 33 g of protein from salami but didn't eat the whole salad. did you add protein elsewhere in your lunch?
also wash your food before dumping into the dish. i realise the bag of spinach says ready to eat but it really should be washed
Can you please update us on the Gem and how it has done for you? Thanks!
I was so excited when I first discovered Lupin pasta.......I rushed and bought 3 different types. To my dismay I discovered I can't tolerate it. I ended up with a terrible stomach ache and bloating like I have never experienced in my life. My heart was broken because I have really missed pasta....but I will have to continue to go through life pastaless. 😢 But yaaaaaaay egg bites. I'm making a bunch of those puppies tomorrow. You look wonderful btw.
I cant eat eggs. Dont know exactly why but I had shingles right as I was finishing going into lenopause. 3 years almost into menopause, and every time I eat eggs I am in severe pain for 3-4 hours! I want some good recipes that can help me eat breakfast with protien, without eggs! Do you have any siggestions? I am in my early 50's, I only take one thyroidedication, and have no other known health issues.
I have gained too much this past winter, and am craving only sugar. I think I will watch more of your videos! Thank You!
You need some chopped pepperoncinis and some cauliflower in that salad then it would be bangin. Looks amazing.
I can't eat garli, so I will make the recipe without the garlic, but maybe some onions will be nice ont this dish
🧛♀️
Understand more carnivore, that is where I am. No sugar, min carbs but I enjoy veggies. A lot of avocados. Still OMAD and eat 4 to 5 pm for 1500 Cals with 3 hour workout, 8.5 mile walk/run for 2 hours, .5 hr stretching and .5 lifting. Everyday.
It is hard to eat again sometimes when I get a lot of protein in one meal. I think that’s also why a lot of people tend to intermittent fast this way. I just worry that I might not be getting enough in. How much protein do you eat a day?
@KetoFocus understand, body hasn't broken down yet with injuries yet, I have hit a plateau on weight loss at 220, so considering a 72 hour fast in a week or two. Have my physical in may, not sure my synthetic thyroid med is working, that may need to change. Oh 1500 calories, fills me up if it carefully manage and eat slowly over the hour
same! starting to lift and gain strength and muscle.
I like your chopped salad 🥗 too 😋
The chaotic energy of the order in which you cracked those eggs ... girl, you are the gem.
The egg bites- have you tried making them in a silicone muffin tin? Just wondering. Thank you for all you do for us. ❤
Use a set of tongs to squeeze the garlic bulb
What ever you are doing is working you rock the jeans
Hi I love your recipes all your healthy meals they helping me to lose weight thank you God blessed
Perfect ❤ as a doctor I advise you to avoid processed meat like salami as much as you can since they are carcinogenic. They raise the risk for colon cancer... Good luck ❤
I don’t think this is true at all.
@@hilarymoshman102 It is true since salami is a processed meat. WHO classifies it as a Group 1 human carcinogen. Research it yourself, you’ll be surprised.
@@hilarymoshman102
The World Health Organization has classified processed meats including ham, bacon, salami and frankfurts as a Group 1 carcinogen (known to cause cancer) which means that there's strong evidence that processed meats cause cancer. Eating processed meat increases your risk of bowel and stomach cancer.
I copied paste this to you from Google. Check also pubmed if you are interested....

Hello from a first time viewer who lives in Southern Oregon. 😁 I don’t like to eat meat, as animals are so diseased nowadays, but I’ve found it’s very difficult to get enough protein without eating flesh food. I don’t know 🤷♀️ how vegetarians or vegans accomplish getting enough protein. I’ve intentionally lost 31 lbs in the last 9 months by counting calories. I no longer count calories. I also fast by eating a very light breakfast (banana, peanut butter and a mug of herb tea) and a medium sized lunch (a turkey sandwich w/a few veggies on my sandwich, and sometimes a serving of mashed potatoes [redskins with the skins left on] and a cooked vegetable). Then I don’t eat again until breakfast the next day. I’ve been opposed to Keto because of its high fat content. And now, intermittent fasting is falling into disapproval. What’s a woman to do? It seems there is no ideal manner of eating… 😮 smh 🤦♀️ P.S. I am very allergic to eggs, have severe IBS and Fructose Malabsorption. I can’t exercise because of severe Osteoarthritis and orthopedic problems due to that condition. 😳
1:06 thanks for keeping it real, and sampling the goods! 😅😂
What kind of salami do you get? Do you find you have uric acid levels because of the salami? I love salami but I’ve had gout issues that have been triggered by salami.
Did you add roasted bell peppers to the salad? Is not listed on the ingredient list 😊also Feta cheese?
