    Intermittent Fasting

    I went low carb before starting IF and my experience has been that the two are quite complementary. According to my most basic understanding, when your body adjusts to low carb it produces more enzymes that help in fat (dietary and stored) metabolization. Consequently, you are no longer...

    My 390 lb Italian father-in-law, his wife, and my wife's Sicilian grandmother (we are not talkin' low-carbers here) would literally eat it every night, if they could. Actually, they did this summer which is part of the reason I made so many of them. They kept me fed with fresh seafood, I kept...

    Thanks, Sin. I bet the ice cream is awesome. Everyone seems to like the aspartame in my cheesecake. Like I said, I have yet to find someone that can believe it's sugar-free. Also, no one has even asked about the missing crust (and I'm talkin some pretty hardcore eaters). I think I actually...

    I meant to say the chocolate goes on the top after it cools. I have tried swirling it in the mix and baking it, but I didn't like how that turned out as well.

    FYI, I have made the cheesecake with a layer of the coconut oil chocolate, made with extra cream for a ganache-like consistency when chilled, on the bottom (probably my favorite to date), or Nigella's almond flour brownies instead of crust which requires a larger baking dish. Also added a...

    Best Cheesecake Ever (IMHO) I spent the summer perfecting this. Probably made 20-30 of them for different audiences. I use aspartame for my sweetener and serve it to unsuspecting guests. No one ever believes its sugar-free. 3 pkgs cream cheese 8 oz sour cream

    (not) Cream of Wheat The texture and taste are remarkably like cream of wheat and even its easier to make. Spoon some ricotta cheese in a bowl. Add a splash of milk or cream. Dash of cinnamon Dash of salt Microwave for 1 min Stir (a fair amount of stirring is required to smooth out...

    I hadn't considered coconut flour. However, even though it only has half the protein, 4x the fat and 1/4 the carbs seems to make the almond flour is better choice, no? I do love me some almond flour.

    No Pasta, Rice or Bread

    I believe the simple calories-in vs calories-out hypothesis is in large part a fallacy. As Sinister mentioned, I've been down the calorie reduction path before (and I already get a significant amount of exercise) and have had very little success. While it may work for some, I view the body as a...

    No Pasta, Rice or Bread

    While I'm don't even remotely consider myself a high level athlete, I'm 41 and I train at least 2 hrs/day, 3-4 days/wk. I have been on a SKD for 3 mos (with Sinister's help). On Monday I rolled for 2 hrs straight, fasted and felt great. It took me most of those three months to get to that point...

    Yep, That's the chicken crust. And I have to say it's even better the next day. I'm not much a cold pizza guy, but this stuff is great cold. I also heated some up in a covered skillet, made the bottom nice and crispy... muy bueno!

    Pretty damn good! Certainly the best low carb pizza recipe I've tried. Thank you MMAFreedom! My crust came out pretty dry, so you may want to use a little extra sauce when topping it, spread the crust as thin as you can before cooking, and/or brush with melted butter while cooking...

    My chicken 'dough' is in the oven! Added parm, garlic, and Italian seasoning. I also ended up adding an egg and some extra water to get it to blend in my VitaMix. I imagine it could be a challenge with a traditional blender. Surprisingly, it actually came out the consistency of dough. I split...
