#These Keto Protein Bars Taste Amazing and Only Have 2 Grams of Sugar

[weightlosschrncls]

Food Log #2

I think I’ve figured out how I’m going to format these posts. Given that I write them in the morning or the early afternoon, I will go over last night’s dinner and then go into my breakfast and lunch!

Last night for dinner, I had a Fresh Express salad kit. It was Avocado Caesar salad and came with avocado Caesar dressing, corn, and tortilla strips. The entire bag was about 340 calories. I also heated up a frozen meal because it was a relatively small salad. It was a Cauliflower mac and cheese. The cheese sauce was made with cheddar, Monterey jack and butternut squash? It was a very interesting combination. It wasn’t cheesy enough, however, so I added a quarter cup of shredded cheddar jack cheese. This was about 460 calories with the added cheese. Altogether, my dinner came out to be 800 calories, which would make it my largest meal of the day. I don’t feel too bad about it however because it was delicious and kept me full for the rest of the night. I am lactose-intolerant though so that cheese later came back to haunt me. Lesson learned. Either skip the extra cheese or take a Lactaid.

So with my snacks after school, my total calories yesterday were: 1834, which is 5 calories under my daily allotment. I am impressed with myself because I didn’t actually eat anything too bad yesterday? Usually, I fall off after school and eat way too many raisins or peanut butter, but I didn’t yesterday! 

I stepped on the scale this morning and I’m down about a half pound which is great. Slowly but surely! I don’t want to lose weight too fast anyway, because I don’t think I’ll keep it off if it’s too sudden. My current weight is 190.4 and my first goal is to get down to 185. I feel like I can do this!

My sugars this morning are down from yesterday. They dropped about 9 points! I went from 130 to 121 this morning! I think by the end of the month I should be under 100 a day which is what the doctor said I should be at. I have an appointment with her on Saturday to monitor progress, and I feel pretty good about it. I know it’s not going to be great obviously but I feel like I have made significant progress over the last two weeks. I don’t want to get too excited though. It took a while to get this bad, so it’s not going to become great over night.

For breakfast this morning, I tried a new item. It’s called Magic Spoon breakfast cereals. I have always been a huge cereal person but I haven’t eaten it in forever because it’s probably one of the worst things I could be eating right now. However, I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts (Hey Babe with Sal Vulcano and Chris Distefano. Shout out No Presh) and they had a promo code for this sugar free, keto-friendly, grain free, soy free, gluten free cereal. (Magicspoon.com/heybabe for $5 off. You’re welcome.) I tried the cocoa cereal this morning and while it didn’t taste exactly like Cocoa Puffs, it was still delicious. For a cup of cereal, it comes out to 140 calories. I used about a cup of my fat-free lactose-free milk which was about 89 calories (To be fair, about half of that went into the bowl and half was in my glass, so it was probably more like 3/4 of a cup because I didn’t drink the remaining milk from my bowl. But I will round up). I also ate a protein bar because I didn’t think that the cereal would keep me full. I tried a new flavor this morning and it was amazing. It was the Blueberry Bliss bar and it was scrumptious. This was about 190 calories. So in total, my breakfast was about 419 calories today. I don’t feel so bad about eating bigger breakfasts because I won’t eat again until about noon.

I haven’t eaten lunch yet but I did pack one today and this is what I brought with me. I made a wrap using a Mission Carb Balance spinach and herb tortilla with 3/4 of an ounce of Colby Jack cheese, and 2.7 oz of Sara Lee roasted turkey breast. I also packed 16 grams of ranch flavored rice cakes and a Honeycrisp apple. I also brought a Diet Pepsi. Do not judge me. Some people are addicted to booze or pills; I’m addicted to Diet Pepsi. In total, my lunch comes out to 396 calories.

This means by the end of the school day I will have consumed 815 calories. I will have around 1000 calories left for dinner and any snacking I should choose to do. It’s only been a few weeks since I’ve started but I feel good about where I am. I’m trying really hard to stay on and keep it up. Around 3 years ago, I was 215 pounds and absolutely miserable. I’ve already lost 24.6 pounds and am looking to lose probably 25-30 more but in a healthy and sustainable way. 

Thanks for reading. See you on the dashboard.

My Keto Snack Box December 2019 Review + Coupon

This is our first review of My Keto Snack Box! We are reviewing the December 2019 box. While I have not tried the Keto diet, I "try" to eat as low carb as possible. The key word here is "try" because it's not always easy or convenient to find low carb, delicious foods or snacks. That's where My Keto Box comes in! They ship keto-friendly snacks to you so you'll have tasty low carb snacks on hand whenever you need them! If you don't know what a keto diet is, it is a low-carb (and usually high-fat) diet that will help with weight loss. When you reduce carb intake and replace it with fat intake, your body goes into a state of ketosis, which makes your body incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. Many of my friends have been on the keto diet, and I can tell you that it really helped them lose pounds. What is My Keto Snack Box? When you sign up with My Keto Snack Box, every month you will receive a box of carefully curated snacks. What you'll get: 8 to 11+ Different Keto Snack Choices Less than 5 grams of net carbs per serving Shipping: FREE (US) Where it ships to: US and International When it ships: 7th of the month DEAL: Get 11% off My Keto Snack Box using this link and coupon HOLIDAY2019 We received this box for review purposes. My Keto Snack Box December 2019 Review My Keto Snack Box arrived in a pretty heavy white and green box.

Here is our first peek into the box!

Southern Breeze Pre-Sweetened Cold Brew Half & Half Sweet Tea - 20 Single Serve Tea Bags - est. $4 This tea is already pre-sweetened with sucralose. It has 0 grams of carbs and is also zero calorie. All you need to do is steep the tea in 8 oz of cold water for 5 minutes and then pour it over cold ice. This tea actually had a real tea and lemonade (half & half), and was very sweet - just as southern sweet tea should be.

FBomb Macadamia Pecan Nut Butter - $2.79 at Target This FBomb is from FatBomb and is meant to give you a shot of energy when you need it. Fat is necessary for a keto diet, so this is a simple and easy way to get in convenient packet. This macadamia pecan with sea salt nut butter had a really rich, flavorful taste and was only 4 grams of carbs. I would definitely buy more of these in the future. They are gluten free, non-GMO, dairy-free, and peanut free.

Pro-Puffs Loaded Baked Potato - $5.99 I was quite surprised with all of the amazing loaded baked potato flavors that were in these little puffs! You can really taste creamy potato, bacon bits, green onion, sour cream and cheddar. These puffs have a total of only 3 grams of carbs and 21 grams of protein. Even better, they only have 1 gram of fat and there are only 150 calories in this single serving pouch. As a bonus, these puffs are gluten free and soy free.

KetoLogic Keto BhB Orange Mango - est. $2 This ketone supplement suppresses your appetite andd fuels both physical and mental performance. It will get you into a state of ketosis, and will give you an energy boost at the same time. You can use this to replace one meal a day. All you need to do is mix 1 packet with 8-12 ounces of water, shake, and drink slowly.

Cofo Provisions Collagen MCT Mix (Rich Chocolate) - $4.50 on Amazon.com This marine based collagen is sourced from US waters in Alaska from wild-caught fish and is non-GMO. This mix will give you mental focus and physical energy. You can mix it in coffee or tea, smoothies, soup, cereal, or water.

The Kale Factory Kale Krackers "Cheezy" Dill - est. $2 on Amazon.com I sometimes make Kale "crackers" by roasting kale in the oven with olive oil. They don't keep very well, but these Kale Krackers would! They are made with all natural ingredients including kale, flax seeds, sunflowers seeds, cashews, sesame seeds, etc. These are keto friendly because they have only 3 grams of net carbs for this entire pouch! These crackers were pretty good and had a nice crunch to them.

The Chocolate Trader Keto 80% Dark Chocolate Almond Bark - $5.99 This dark chocolate almond bark has only 2 grams of net carbs per serving, and there are 4 servings in this bag. That means there is a lot of chocolate you can eat in one sitting! Since this chocolate is sweetened with monk fruit extract, it has a slight aftertaste, but is great if you can't have chocolate on your keto or low carb diet!

Buff Bake Fuel Bar + MCT (Cinnamon Crunch) - $2.50 This Buff Bake bar tasted just like Cinnamon Toast Crunch! The whole bar has only 4 grams of net carbs and has 12 grams of plant based protein. This bar is keto friendly, vega, non-dairy, non-GMO, and gluten free. I can totally see eating these bars in the future as a convenient on the go breakfast or snack.

Good to Go Raspberry Lemon Snack Bar - $2.67 on Amazon.com This is a soft baked bar (think Nutri-Grain texture) that has only 3 grams of net carbs and 7 grams of fiber. It is made with almond flour, lemon, freeze dried rasperries, erythritol, etc. My kids tried this bar and really like it! This bar is on my buy-again list as well.

Pyure Organic Sugar-Free Harmless Hunny - $8.80 on Amazon This sugar-free honey alternative is sweetened with organic Stevia and is also non-GMO. 1 tablespoon of this hunny is only 4 grams of net carbs, which is pretty amazing! This would be great for anyone on a strict keto, diabetic, or low carb diet. While this doesn't taste like real honey, it could be a good substitute if you really miss or need a honey-like taste. There is a stevia aftertaste, so if you are used to to this, it may be a good alternative for you.

If you share you My Keto Snack Box snacks using #MyKetoSnackBox, you'll be entered to win a free 3-month subscription!

In Summary The December My Keto Snack Box had a nice assortment of super low-carb, keto friendly snacks that will make it so much easier to curb any temptation to stray from your low-carb diet. My favorite items in this box were the Good to Go Bar and Buff Bake Bar. I also really like the Dark Chocolate Almond Bark and Pro Puffs. If you or know of anyone who is trying to lose weight or get healthier on these diets, My Keto Snack Box would make a great gift for you or them! I'm excited to have these snacks at the ready now that holiday parties are getting closer! DEAL: Get 11% off My Keto Snack Box using this link and coupon HOLIDAY2019

Power Your Day With These 28 Low-Carb Breakfast Ideas

I’m not going to lie to you; I love my carbs. They give me energy, and well, they obviously taste amazing. BUT (and there is always a but) cutting down on carbs can aid in weight loss.  So, it’s not a bad idea to cut down on them when trying to cut down on the pounds. With that being said, when I am trying to eat fewer carbs one day, breakfast is the place to start. This is why I’ve put together this list of 28 low-carb breakfast ideas so that you can power your day the low-carb way!

It is so, so, so important to cut back on added sugars and processed carbohydrates. I know this even more so than a lot of other people because my dad is a type 1 diabetic. Because of this, my family members and I are always looking for low-sugar, low-carb recipes to make for him. You know, ones that aren’t boring and tasteless! Because of this, I’ve found that low-carb does NOT mean low-flavor. Low-carb meals are just as tasty as high-carb meals. Some are even tastier!

Now, I know that a lot of us have sugar cravings in the morning. Guilty as charged! And, I know that cutting back on those added sugars and processed carbohydrates is often a struggle–especially for breakfast. With breakfast, comes foods, like cereal, in your pantry. But, I promise the struggle is worth it. Replacing that high-carb, high-sugar cereal with any of the recipes on this list could help you to:

Curb hunger

Lose weight

Balance blood sugar levels

Stay focused

Say “goodbye” to cravings

Diminish that awful feeling of fatigue

Lower risk of diabetes and heart disease

So, join the low-carb club! Whether it’s once a week, every two weeks, or all the time, eating a low-carb breakfast will never go out of style! Trust me, your beloved carbs are not going anywhere. They will still be there if and when your body tells you it needs them.

1. Egg Stuffed Baked Portobello Mushroom

Our Egg Stuffed Baked Portobello Mushroom breakfast recipe is not only stuffed with egg…it’s also stuffed with LOTS of flavor! It only requires a handful of simple ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen already, so once you have the Portobello mushrooms, you’re basically set!

2. ‘Everything Bagel’ Cauliflower Rolls

Yup, you read that right! You get to eat an everything bagel for breakfast that’s low in carbs!

Well, not exactly an everything bagel, but these cauliflower rolls by Lexi’s Clean Kitchen taste almost the exact same! If you ask me (someone who seriously loves bagels), these bagel imposters are life savers! They’re also a great way to get your kids to eat healthier. Throw their usual cream cheese onto the roll, and they probably won’t even know the difference.

3. The Best Savory Southwest Tofu Egg Scramble

This low-carb breakfast is the perfect way to enjoy a healthy breakfast. It’s filled with all kinds of nutrient-dense ingredients, like kale, bell peppers, and cilantro. Add in protein-rich eggs and tofu to fill you up, and those Southwestern spices for a punch of flavor, and you’ll have yourself a winner!

This is one of those low-carb breakfast ideas that will definitely keep you energized all morning long. You’ll get the perfect balance of low-carb nutrition and spicy, savory flavors. There’s no way you’ll miss the carbs after enjoying this tasty scramble!

 4. Easy 2-Ingredient Coconut Yogurt

My mom’s absolute favorite yogurt flavor is coconut. So, when I was at my parents’ house and made her this super easy yogurt by Minimalist Baker, she went NUTS for the flavors of cocoNUTS! I know, I know, I should really just stick to the facts and stay away from trying to make puns…but the fact of the matter is: this yogurt is amazing! There are also only two grams of carbohydrates per serving!

5. Keto Deviled Green Eggs and Ham

Dr. Seuss says it best:

“I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.”

“Try them, try them, and you may! Try them and you may, I say.”

Take it from me, you will want these low-carb green eggs and ham by Sugar-Free Mom in a house, with a mouse, here, there, and anywhere!

6. Baked Kale and Eggs with Ricotta

I don’t know about you, but I am always hooked when I hear that something has eggs and any kind of cheese in it. Honestly, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love anything with eggs and cheese in it–especially when it’s healthy AND low in carbohydrates. That being said, you NEED to try this recipe of ours that is sure to power your day with its 11 grams of protein per serving.

7. Low-Carb Almond Joy Chia Seed Pudding

If you know me or have read any of my pieces here at SkinnyMs, you know that I have a dangerously strong sweet tooth. You also must know that I don’t mess around when it comes to sweets. I’m a very big critic of them, actually. So, when I say that this chia pudding recipe by Sugar-Free Mom tastes just like an almond joy candy bar, you know you can take my word for it. This sweet, yet healthy and low-carb, breakfast recipe is one of my favorites–especially when I’m trying to eat a low-carb diet without losing any energy!

If you love this recipe as much as I do, you should try out some of our Almond Joy recipes:

No-Bake Almond Joy Bars

Quinoa Almond Joy Bars

No-Bake Almond Joy Cookies

Almond Joy Pizzert Babies
