Is blended Canadian Whisky high in carbs?

Nope!

This is a great thread - fantastic info. Keep it coming.
Just saw Trapper7's post. Are bananas bad?

Unfortunately, bananas are high in sugar . Once the goals are reached in the body's health, as mentioned earlier, moderate carbs/sugars in splurge once in a while is ok as long as the general lifestyle way of eating is maintained . Bananas sure are good , though !

thanks Sharon. Been having one about every morning to "eat healthy", but guess I will cut it back to once or twice a week or less.

Patrice is much better than I in breaking down carb amounts , but we both still like the occasional splurge times too. In moderation , then back to maintenance mode

Is that Rebel brand ice cream made in Wisconsin? I have not seen that brand of ice cream in Virginia.

I didn't notice, Run. I guess I'll have to go buy more today just so I can check it out!

BLTs for lunch at the lake today Patrice. As far as I'm concerned fresh produce is the only good thing about summer.

Tonight it's brisket and tenderloin on the pellet with Cole slaw beans and some potatoes. I better invite the neighbors

I'll bet you meant to post this on the What's for Supper thread! Sounds great though!!!!

It says it's from Rebel Creamery in Midway, Utah! (I'm eating some more now!)

A banana was my morning breakfast to take with my BP pills. And I love bananas as long as they are pretty green and not too ripe. Gave them up and switched to one piece of wheat toast and some raw broccoli and carrots.

It's been about 3 weeks since I started watching my carbs and eating more protein. I've lost 5 pounds so far and gained a notch on my belt.

You guys should make a cookbook. I'd love to make some of these recipes!

The other night I did a pork roast in coconut milk with some chopped onions, celery, & broccoli. Lots of curry & cayenne too.. Man, that was delicious!

Here's a great recipe for you brownie eaters

Keto Brownies

Ingredients

1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup erythritol sweetener (We have Swerve at our local grocery store.)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tablespoon instant coffee (optional)
10 tablespoons butter
2 oz dark chocolate
3 eggs
½ teaspoon real vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 inch or 8x9 pan with parchment paper, aluminum
foil or grease with butter.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients - almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, erythritol, and instant coffee. Be
sure to whisk out all the clumps from the erythritol.
3. In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, Melt butter and chocolate for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until just melted.
Whisk in the eggs and vanilla then gently whisk in the dry ingredients just until mixed through. Be careful not to
over mix the batter or it will become cakey.
4. Transfer batter into a baking dish and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out moist. cool
for at least 30 mins to 2 hours in the fridge and slice into 16 small squares. The batter will set up a bit more as it cools.

Each brownie is about 2 grams of carbs.

These are insanely gooey and rich. I warmed one and plopped it on top of a bowl of Rebel low carb vanilla ice cream and got the huge thumbs up from Zim. I need to make more, and I will add a photo when I do!

That even looks to be gluten free, Patrice. Thank you for that, we're gonna try it!

Good stuff, Patrice ! I was thinking of this thread in seeing the newer one on loosing weight ...lots of very solid medical info on this one on insulin resistance , BP rates, etc., and the good results of low-carb high protein eating. With some high carb indulgence in moderation once the goals are met .

Great ingredients in those brownies !

Nice thread! Just saw this thread this morning. We have been doing Keto for the last year basically. Especially since our youngest son was diagnosed with T1D in May. I will have to post up a couple of the recipes we have found. Some winners, but a lot of losers in the recipe world! Hardest thing we have found is getting over the texture of almond flour in a lot of the dessert recipes.

Thanks, Sharon!

No kidding, NEYotetrapper! When you fry anything using almond flour as a coating, you have to be really careful not to overcook it too. Burnt almonds do not taste good!

I don't have anything useful to add to the thread at this time, but I wanted to bring it back to the top and be sure it doesn't die with all this great information! Happy trapping! ScottW

Green bananas are ok, just don't eat them if they get too ripe. Most Dr's that explain low carb or keto diets agree on that. Just make sure you keep approximately 70% fat and 20% protein in your diet. If you cheat vary the protien, not carbs.

As most of us have learned, you will lose weight even if that wasn't the plan, and your blood profile will get much better.
