Eat More Fat! The Nutritional Ketosis Challenge continues... page 210

To the person who needed a recipe for stevia-free fat bombs..

1 stick butter
1 cup coconut oil
1 cup almond butter
8 or 10 oz unsweetened, 100% chocolate bar (I use one by Pralus).

Melt it all together, pour into muffin cups and freeze.
I love them!

Thanks. I tried something like this last night but realized too late that my almond butter is salted so the final result was not appetizing or appealing AT. ALL! Hoping to swing into the grocery store for some UNSALTED almond butter on my way home tonight.

Day 2 and I'm starting to feel the effects of sugar withdrawal. Feeling unenthusiastic and a bit negative. I wouldn't say depressed yet. Just blah. Could be the weather though too - expecting up to 8 inches of snow today. I'm so ready for spring and her green grass, sunshine, walks and flowers.

@desertcreature when making bone broth, make sure you use a whole onion, skin and all in it. The skin gives an extra layer of flavor and color that adds richness. My latest batch of beef bone broth is the richest one I've made yet. I cooked it for 72 hours in the crock pot and it is amazing. I also add whole garlic cloves(in skin) and a bay leaf or 2. I do add a small amount of salt to mine but not a lot as I add a half bouillon cube to mine and have a cup in the morning for breakfast.

That sounds delicious!

Does anyone know how to reset the goal calories in MFP?

Yesterday was a very stressful day, but ended up staying on target with macros (and total cal) at 77/17/6. Woohoo!! I may have relied too much on bacon, but there are worse things in life!

Today is good so far, but I opted out of fasting this Morning.

From the homepage, go to the Goals subheading(it may be hidden so scroll your mouse over them), hit custom and then adjust and save.

I did my first walk today through the hilly 'hood I occupy and for the first time in like ever, I didn't need my inhaler half way through the walk. I am an asthmatic, so I take it with me. I did use it when I got home to help slow my breath down but that was it. No hyperventilation or anything like that. I walked for 27 minutes and it was amazing to me how easy it was. Even going uphill seemed like a breeze.

I'm going to make demuralist's cabbage soup recipe with the beef broth.

If you really want colorful broth, add cut up beets. Lovely.

I tried a little fat bomb last night, mixed equal parts of cream cheese and unsalted cashew butter. It was pretty good. The cashew butter is sweeter than other butters (but also higher in carbs I think). Both were kind of stiff and it was hard to mix, so next time I try it I'm going to soften them in the micro for a few seconds so I can mix better.

Hi all,
I don't post often, but I do read the thread almost daily and am always so encouraged by all of you and I have enjoyed so many of the recipes you all share. What a great forum here!

I just wanted to share a non-scale success from eating this way. Some days I just eat two meals a day, due to my schedule. So last Friday I had my usual breakfast - 4 slices of bacon and a serving of an egg bake thing I make, along with coffee with HWC and coconut cream. I had that between 7:00 and 7:30 am. I get off work at 1:00 on Fridays, went and ran some errands, then went out for my usual 5 mile walk - I have started adding in some jogging sprints to try and shake up some weight loss. I went out for this walk/jog at about 4:00 pm, without eating anything since breakfast. I felt awesome! I had energy for my jogging sprints and just felt amazing. It dawned on me that I could not have done that 6 months ago - I used to always have something to eat within an hour before exercising. No more. I think I'm becoming a fat-burner. One hopes!

The scale is moving downward, however slowly. I've lost about 8 lbs. in 6 weeks. I guess that's not too bad. But the biggest thing I am celebrating right now is more energy and great mental attitude.

Just wanted to share - and say thanks again to everyone who keeps this thread going. I have gleaned so much valuable info from all of you.
