Attached is a link to a document that I put together during my 10 month journey from diabetic/hypertensive to healthy/normal blood sugar/no meds. I hope some of the information is helpful to others. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have or to question any of the information I've included. It (and me!) are both a work in progress!

In honor of Valentine's Day, here's one of my favorite recipes - Love Muffins!

12 oz. creamy no oil/no sugar added almond butter
1 cup of whole eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice
3/4 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of sea salt
1/2 tsp liquid stevia (I like sweet drops)
1/2 cup of small dark chocolate chips/chunks

Blend all ingredients together VERY well and pour into a loaf pan greased with coconut oil or into 12 greased muffin cups. Bake for approx. 30 minutes (testing with a toothpick should be mostly clean - I'm 30 minutes at a mile high/my oven) at 350 F. Let cool completely before slicing loaf!

Variations: Leave out the stevia/chocolate for a decent 'bread' that you can slice thinly, toast and eat with butter/honey.

Add a mashed banana with the stevia or intead of it - will increase the carbs somewhat

Recipe as listed is about 9g of protein per muffin and fewer than 2g. of carbs. About 185 cals.

Enjoy!!!

I'm so happy to find this thread. I've subscribed.

My partner and I have made the life style change about 6 months ago. Lo-Carb, High in lean Protein, *really* watching the fat and sodium. It's been a huge change, and we don't consider it a 'diet', more than quite literally, un-learning and re-learning what our bodies feel better consuming.

The hardest part is recognizing that out in the world there is like NOTHING to eat! So we've also altered our life style in terms of preparing things to take with us if we're out for extended periods of time. No more drive throughs ( except for coffee!!) Counting net carbs, etc.

The hardest part was the first month, (for myself in particular being of Portuguese/Irish descent, I was born with a loaf of bread in one hand, and a potatoe in the other) was almost like a carb detox! Seriously, i LOVE carbs.

Now we substitute cauliflower for taters, don't eat much of anything grown under the ground at all, avoid excessive dairy ( cream in my coffee--that's about it) lots of omelettes (egg beaters, etc) with veggies and lean low salt back bacon.

Getting 'bored' was also a challenge, so it's great to find all these recipes.

I need to join this thread because I need to eat more healthy and lose some excess weight I have put on since my work related injury back in 2007. I have put on 70lbs since then, and I just have to get it off. I have been using a treadmill at home this past week and I am keeping my pace to a good start. I know I can lose this weight by walking and eating better. I just don't know much about carbs and proteins that I should be eating, or if I can use canned or frozen vegetables that I like to eat as part of my diet or should I go with just fresh picked vegetables ? I need help with this stuff. I can't focus enough to read about it. I tried reading the Dukan diet and the Atkins diet and I can't focus enough to read past a few sentences at times. It took me half an hour just to read a paragraph. My anxiety is running amok most of the time an it interferes with my focusing ability to read and retain things I have read.So, if anyone has any patients to post what good carbs are that I should be eating, what bad carbs to stay away from, and the protein I should be eating I mean is it any red meats, turkey, pork, chicken, etc. Please forgive me for asking for help in this. Thanks in advance. Oh and if you guys have any recipes other than what's posted here, please share them with me, I could use some of those too.

This thread is for those of us who have switched from being carb burners to fat burners. Our diets are filled with high purine proteins, high essential fats and low complex carbs.

Please share your experiences, recipes etc here.

This thread is NOT for debating about whether lo carbing is a good thing or not, it is simply a place to share for those of us who do eat this way.

Hi, I follow a pritiken based plant only diet, I do eat bread but make it myself and use spelt flour. I had open heart and nuerosurgery in 2013 and am also recovering from chemo and a bone marrow transplant.
I am on a very high daily dose of estrogen compared to most M-T-F's but i don't take anti-androgen's due to being XXY and having a orchidectomy.
I feel i get enough energy from a Pure Based Plant Diet, I am to exercise and
weight gain due to HRT has been minimal.

Mmm...chocolate chip cookies the Paleo way.

Jesse · 05-20-2015, 07:11 PM

These little date treats are super good and Paleo approved! As you will see from the webpage, you can roll them in a variety of mixtures. I like the coconut/walnuts, but I also like to make them with coconut and shredded dark chocolate.

Here's another sweet snack that is Paleo friendly. I have not tried this one, but it has pecans in it, so I definitely will do so in the near future.
