Finally just got my Rollercoaster up to Level 50, was hoping new islands would be unlocked. Is there any new content coming, or is that just the end of the game? Thanks

Make yourself a little charcuterie board!
Made sushi with caulirice, filled one with a crab mixture, cucumber, radish and green onion, and the other with shrimp, cucumber, radish and green onion. Not perfect, but pretty darn good. But I'd advise only make as much as you plan to eat. I had left overs and tried a piece today, wasn't that great. But a fun night in!
I made some bone broth yesterday, I used oxtail, beef marrow bones, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, ACV, pepper corns, bayleaves and some salt. I roasted the bones first, then cooked it in the crock pot for 24 hours. It reduced a lot. I strained it, then let it cool and skimmed off all the tallow. It hasn't become gelatinous yet (maybe it just needs more time to cool and set, it's only been out of the pot for a few hours). But what's the best way to drink it? I mixed some with boiling water and it just...wasn't great. I added more salt, still not that great. But I'm used to broth from chicken bullion cubes.
Is there a certain ratio of broth to water, something else to add? Or is it just a t
My local Real Canadian Superstore just stopped carrying shirataki noodles, and I'm wondering if anyone in the Ontario (more specifically Oakville) area has seen them anywhere? There is a No Frills, Food Basics, Metro and Wholefoods, but I have to take transit so it's harder to just go around to all the stores to check, but I want to find them again!
Hey Ladies,
I haven't been here in a long time. Far too long. I did so well for so long. I lost 120 lbs and couldn't wait to get rid of the last 40 I wanted to lose. But then I got lazy, I let more things slide. I gained about 15 back and told myself I'd get back on track. That never happened. I'm afraid to weigh myself because I don't want to see how much I have gained back, because I'm guessing over the last year (but especially in the last 4-5 months), I've probably gained back about 60 lbs. I also started college again... My program is intense to say the least. I was on leave from school for 2 and a half years for medical reasons, so I was used to doing nothing all the time. Now I'm bus
Hello, my lovely ladies! I've been away for a while. Lazy ketoing away. But I really wanted to get back into a good routine, so I thought I'd try an egg fast to get me back in the swing of things, because I usually do better when I have something strict to stick to.
It's day two. I gained today, which seems contradictory to what most people say happens when they've tried it, so I wasn't going to get too upset about it, and was going to continue on with the plan (especially since I got maple extract, and discovered maple cream cheese pancakes with maple butter... Need I say more?)
But HOLY HELL. All I want to do right now is eat an entire bag of pork rinds. They're sitting downstairs, taun
I'm just confused about how to track it when so much fat comes off.
The bacon I was using has, per 2 uncooked slices:
- 230 calories
- 22g fat
- 6g protein
- 1g carb
I made 5 slices. Uncooked, that is: 575 calories, 55g fat, 15g protein and 2.5g carbs. I measured off the fat after I cooked it, and it was 48g. So 48g of fat is 432 calories. If you take that off of the totals, you get:
- 143 calories
- 8.1g fat (73 calories)
- 15g protein (60 calories)
- 2.5g carbs (10 calories)
5 slices of bacon can't be 143 calories... I know they get small and crispy, but is that actually right? If it is, I've got an extra 48 grams of fat/432 calories to play around with...
So I'm in Canada, and I almost NEVER see pork rinds in the stores around me. If I do, it's just original, and I'm not a big fan of those ones. But I think we're going to order some stuff from the US amazon, so I was wondering what your favourite brands and flavours are?
Also, I keep seeing the microwaveable pork rinds, but I've never had them. Are they any good?
One more question, what are good stores to buy them from? I was in Ohio recently and didn't seem to see them anywhere... My dad is going to be in Rochester soon, so any particular stores he should look in?
Thanks, ladies!
I've dealt with migraines and pressure headaches for a long time. When I started keto last January, the migraines disappeared and the pressure headaches were less frequent. In the past few weeks, I have been getting terrible pressure headaches.
On December 19th, I got a horrible headache. I had severe pressure in my head and my eyes, my neck was extremely sore (even tender to touch), I was dizzy, my ears were swooshing and ringing, I felt nauseous (and did vomit once), and felt as though I was going to pass out any time I stood up. It ended up lasting for almost 9 days. It was getting so bad that I considered going to the hospital (I had chronic daily migraines for almost 10 years, so I'm
So I made low carb nanaimo bars yesterday. First of all, holy fucking god they are delicious. (I can post the recipe if anyone wants them!)
But for the centre, you have to make a custard. I made the custard with 35% cream because everyone always says you can't have milk on keto. But, 1 cup of cream actually has a few more carbs than a cup of milk, and it has WAY more calories. So for a recipe like that, would it be okay to use whole milk, or is there something specific about milk that we shouldn't be having?
P.S. Custard is my new favourite thing. It is amazing. And if you fuck it up (like I did) and it curdles, just buzz it with an immersion blender and it will be totally fine!
As my first keto Christmas approaches, I figured I should start playing around with my eggnog recipe. My family makes eggnog every year, and it is so good. But without milk or sugar, I knew it would be a bit different.
The recipe I tried this time (makes 8 cups):
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup powdered xylitol
- 4 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (lightly whipped)
- 1/2 - 1 cup water to thin out a little
- cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
It has a different flavour, but was still pretty good. Might thin it down a bit more because I think it's still a bit too sweet, my dad is really liking it though. I've heard that cashew milk tastes more like regular milk (though I haven't
Hello all, I'm looking for some advice on how I can modify heavy lifting/find different lifts or exercises that will not aggravate a medical condition I have.
I have something called Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome. Simply, when I was 11 years old, I had a massive cramp in my left calf and my muscle almost doubled in size and never got smaller. After having to compensate because of the extreme pain, the same happened in the right leg a few months later. With the size and density of my muscles, they contract around my arteries and cut off blood flow from the knee down.
It was finally diagnosed after 6 and a half years, and I have since had three surgeries to fix it. They basically wen
Last Sunday I said that I was going to do a short trial of zero carb to see how my progress goes and to see how I feel, and some of you wanted an update.
Well, it's been a little over a week and I feel great! I have lost a total of 6.6 lbs since last Sunday. I was in ketosis before starting ZC (I've been in ketosis since January), but I'd been letting carb and calorie creep get the better of me for the past few months, so I'm definitely thinking a chunk of that loss was a few lbs of water weight. I've been busy and stressed, but I have felt totally fine. My energy levels are good, my depression and anxiety are pretty good, and I just feel good over all.
My typical day of food is:
- A cu
I need something strict to put things back in order. I feel like I haven't made any progress since July. And I definitely know that upping the carbs ups my depression. I haven't yet blatantly cheated and had something full of carbs, but I've been bad about tracking and I know that both my carbs and calories have been creeping on up. I've been bouncing between the same 5 lbs for the past 3 months, and I need that to change.
With the way my mind is right now, I think I need a reset. If I allow myself to have carbs, I seem to just say, Oh, that means all of my carbs can come from HWC and Splenda and peanut butter and sweet things. No, no they cannot. I've noticed that I always wake up hungry
