My husband and I are doing the Keto Diet. I am down and feel a lot better! I started early last year, then broke it then here I am again. I discovered a thyroid and auto-immune thing going on that may have had an impact on my results (or lack of results) ...but now it's great to be able to notice a difference when you put clothes on. My husband is doing a great job too and over all feels great (men tend to do a lot better)
The one thing I miss the most is pizza and sweets. I have coped with the pizza thing and have been making my own "fat head pizza" at least once every two weeks. But the sweets....I've managed by doing my own baking, which I like to do anyway, but now it's more for a purpose.
I've made keto chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon rolls, red velvet cupcakes, Keylime pie, strawberry shortcake, strawberry pie and last night I made lemon berry keto cupcakes. each cupcakes has around 1g of carbs and 0 sugar...gluten free and was an office favorite. I like the way cream cheese whipped frosting comes out, so I like to try and pair that frosting with a type of cake it may go well well ( ex: red velvet, carrot cake etc...)
I have a section on my instagram dedicated to Keto, and had lots of request for this recipe. Make sure you follow me JanaeMartinez316
