High level overview of what a ketogenic diet is and how to get started. This video covers the first part of keto class #1 for Revival Chapel 9/3/24.

How do we count the carbs and what are we going to eat? Here are some simple ideas of what to eat at home and away from home, and how to not get bored with your food!

Plans were made, goals were set, how did we do, and what's next?

We are halfway through 2024 already, so let's talk about how our goals are going. I did some resetting, and am setting some "flex goals" this week, where a dart board illustrates good, better and best - because dartboards are more fun than checklists :)

10/3/23 YES, breakfast casserole fits very well into a low carb or keto or carnivore eating plan! Just take out the carby stuff. Easy to make, and always a crowd-pleaser, for all ages. It also reheats well and freezes well when there's not a crowd. *************** * Ingredients * *************** 12 eggs 1 t. salt 1/2 c. cream or milk 1/2 t. mustard 1 lb. sausage 1/8 t. pepper 1 c. shredded cheese (any kind) 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2. Grease a 9x13 pan 3. Beat together eggs, salt, mustard & pepper 4. Press raw sausage into the 9x13 pan 5. Sprinkle cheese on top of sausage 6. Pour egg mixture on top of cheese 7. Bake 40 minutes Cut into 12 pieces. Each piece has: 1 g total carb, 12 g protein, 24 g fat, 269 calories, 0 g fiber. ************************ * Optional Ingredients * ************************ broccoli or spinach or bell peppers & onions ********************* * Pork-Free Option * ********************* Use hamburger instead of sausage. I season hamburger with sage, onion powder, garlic powder & celery salt when I do this.

9/30/23 A first grader pointed out that my two front teeth had dark brown stains on them. I had no idea!!! I've never had that happen before and wasn't sure what it was. I decided to try baking soda just to see if it would take care of it. It worked beautifully. In fact, it worked so well, I rubbed it on all my teeth, front and back (no, I don't show that part). They felt just like they do after a good cleaning at the dentist!

9/16/23 Brown Butter Bites are a great "go to" snack for low carb eaters. They're easy to make and keep well in the freezer, so they are always ready when you "just need a something", or if you need to fill a gap between meals. So let's make some!

My FIRST 28 days on keto - here's the update my good friend, Michelle, encouraged me to record. I wasn't happy with it at the time, but I am really glad I have this now! What about you? Have you started a new health initiative? Are you documenting the progress along the way? It may not seem important right now, but it will be a couple of years from now. Go ahead. Make a video of your updates, at least every 30 days, just for your own use. You may want to share them to encourage others down the road.

9/25/23 Hi, I'm Karen, Welcome to ChoosingToLive1! I forgot to say that in the video. Oh well! This video gives a brief background on my weight loss journey thus far.
