Reddit mentions of Fat Fast Cookbook: 50 Easy Recipes to Jump Start Weight Loss

I haven't checked in for a few days just a few random comments here and there. I'm always in chat though, just a little plug for that genius place.

Weight scarily high for me, I'm pretty freaked out, tbh. I don't know if it's part of the process with the ear infection and subsequent medications but I'm trying to just chill out. I haven't seen this number since I was losing weight 10 years ago. I'm prepping for next week, I'm going to my parents house in California. It'll be good to see them. I normally have them come up here but we decided to pack up the dog and take a road trip. Ask me later if this was a good idea ......

I'm planning to make a few low-carbs items for Thanksgiving, for no reason other than to do them. I don't actually need to bring anything. I'll do a cauliflower gratin and the sausage cheesy stuffing that was floating around here last week.

I plan to do a 2-3 day fat fast when we return from California and I'll be using recipes/ideas from Dana Carpenders books, largely the first book. I need a reset. I'm also going to stop drinking at home, I don't need to have wine every night. I LIKE wine every night but I don't need it. Hopefully the fat fast and the wine reduction will help get things on a downward trend.

I just added you on MFP, my username is the same as my reddit. :)

Fat bombs are an amazing way to combat the cravings during shark week. I bought the book I linked to and really like some of the recipes, but you can find plenty of other fatty things to eat for free online. I also try to avoid fake sugars (they trigger me to binge eat), but if they work for you, there are so many options for that now.

You got this!

I made creamed spinach with frozen spinach and Boursin cheese, pepperoni chips with whipped cream or Boursin, cream cheese, and some recipes from the fat fast e-book.

Tracking App: I'm an MFP devotee. I tried and life Lifesum and now that MFP has a lot of features locked by premium I would genuinely consider it, before most stuff paid for on Lifesum was already free of MFP. If you want to see more in detail how they compare I actually analysed the two last year on this post. I have a streak of 811 days on MFP and my diary is open to friends if you want to add me: arcadia1983

Meal Plans: I try to plan in advance given the fresh food that needs to be used in my pantry, I try and keep track of expiry dates and freeze meat. Sometimes I even cook the day before but not any more than that since I have still control issues as I still have bouts of bulimia when stressed, and who isn't really?


A website that I found amazing though is [EatThisMuch.com] (http://www.eatthismuch.com/a/AlishaAhmed). This is the most useful tool since MyFitnessPal. Given how many calories you want to consume (or if you don’t know, don’t worry, with a couple infos about height, weight and goal, the website will tell you) and the kind of diet you follow (including Keto) it gives you 3 meals (or more, or less, depends on your preference) to stay within your macros and calories for the day!


Kitchen Tools: before keto I had only a microwave. Now things are extremely different of course

• Everyone on keto and tracking should ave a digital scale first. I wish I had one that went into milligrams but until then, 10£ are worth a scale with 1gram sensisitivty.
  
• Although nothing changed my life like a Deep Fat Fryer. I got a 3Litre one for around 20£ and trust me, everything fried is better.
  
• A milk foamer is around 2£ and allows me to make BPC like drinks without going to my blender (so avoiding cleaning the cups :P) as long as there is nothing to grind (if you use hemp seeds no, you need to grind them so blender still it is), plus I love the foam!
  
• My blender/food processor these days is an Ninja Ultima 810, has 2 cups and a big jug and different speeds to allow chopping or creaming, depending on desired texture. I had 2 Nutribullet Pro before and had the first replaced and the second return it cause they cannot handle hot liquid, so BPC wasn't an option: it regularly spilled onto the motor ruining the machine. Their customer service is really nice and accommodating but for the same price I got the Ninja and we love each other very much, from BPC, to cauliflower rice to creamy soup steaming from the pot.
  
  Cookbooks: I very much prefer collecting and adapting recipes from the web on pinterest (I have a specific Keto board if you'd like to take a look https://www.pinterest.com/gingerketo/low-carb-keto-lchf-recipes/) but the one book I actually bought from the beginning and always go back taking a look at is the Fat Fast Cookbook by Dana Carpenter which I discovered a few months after beginning keto when I was advised to try a fat fast: she has recipes and meal plans considering calories and nutritional values as well so makes it possible to make controlled portions instead of meal. Plus personally I am one of those that with 85%+ fat works at her best for weight loss

Its called The Fat Fast Cookbook: http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Fast-Cookbook-Recipes-ebook/dp/B00BGGBE20 Highly recommended.

I'd also check out The Bulletproof Executive here: http://www.bulletproofexec.com/start-the-bulletproof-diet/
He has an interesting take on the fat fast where you drink/eat nothing but coffee with MCT and butter in it for a few days.
