GUYS! GUYS! I lost another kilo. I am just so over the moon.That makes 3 kilos in 2 months or 6.6 american pounds. It might not sound like much and the process is very slow- but its like my dream come true. I eat so much and so well. I had to celebrate this by posting about it. I am so in love with keto and this WOE- or better put: this way of LIVING.
Hoorray!!! Keto is DA BEST

I agree; my husband and I often say to each other, āCan you believe we can eat like this!?ā
I just love to hear when people find keto so easy and enjoyable; I really do. It makes my heart sing for them (singing for you now, my dear!). 
I wish everyone who suffers from obesity and food addiction could discover it and give it a try. So many dismiss it without even researching or trying.

Laughed at your comment ācan you believe we can eat like this?ā Exactly. Nobody believes me. They dont now how good mac and cheese tastes with cauliflower.
I too am upset when I hear people struggling. Just met a friend who continues to have weight problems and tries this and that- always the yoyo. I compliment him on his weight loss, and 3 months later he has gained it all back. Now he tells me he is trying SPORTS - like this is the answer and he has to put in the hard work. I wonder how long he will last? There once was a german politician for the green party named Fischer, who began running- like marathons. He lost a TON of weight. He was almost unrecognisable. And fast forward 10 years later and he is fat again because he stopped running.
Anyway, I guess they just have to see the change in US to believe it, and 3 kilos isnt remarkable enough yet. Maybe when I have lost 10 or 15, people will ask me what I am doing to make this happen. But I am taking my time and eating well and not suffering and so its slow. Thats OK.

I got it off youtube and I am not really sure if it is the best or if I can even find it again- there are quite a few. It used garlic powder and I missed the onion. I think next time I am going to try the one with bacon. Just go to youtube and put in āketo mac and cheese.ā I am really growing to LOVE cauliflower because you can do so many yummy things with it.

Ahhhh- DIP.
I forgot all about dip. Now I have to google some keto dipsā¦with celery and red bell peppers etc. Sometimes I had this with blue cheese- but DIP? Gotta check YouTube for keto dips prontoā¦

So I think I found the best mac and cheese recipe.
Fry chopped onion, bacon in a little butter. Onions should not be brown but just glassy. Add cauliflower and dont cook too much but just brown a little. Put this mixture in the casserole. Take the same pan and add about 50g of butter to melt easily but not too hot. Then add: garlic powder, cayenne pepper, fresh estragon or thyme ( I had estragon- is that tarragon in english?) so I used it and it was super!) nutmeg ( I figured any recipe with nutmeg had to be special) and I put in a teaspoon of Dijon because I like it a bit jazzed up, and a half a cube chicken broth. Didnāt have this so I added beef. Stir, Then add 1 cup of cream, 100 g of cream cheese and mix well until melted. Then add cheddar maybe a cup and melt again while stirring. At the very end add some black pepper. Pour over the cauliflower onion bacon mix in the casserole and mix and top with a bit of cheddar and bake in the oven.
The sauce was so good I was licking my fingers. I could have eaten it with a spoon. I especially didnāt write measurements because I did it to taste too. I think we can all do that for ourselves, tasting along the way. Oh! I canāt wait until it is doneā¦ LUNCHTIME!!! ( I usually eat 2 meals a day.)

Congratulations I am so excited,
Way to go! I have 53lbs in 6 months. My ketones stay around 0.5 but my waist has not been this small for, well, 35 years! I love the Ketogenic way of living!

Thats amazing. 53 lbs in 6 months is really fast! Did you do anything special or was it simply by eating keto?

Iāve lost 45-47kg (depending on how full my stomach is) in just over a year (it actually took 9-10 months to lose 45kg) and I was at an annual event last week where I hadnāt seen a lot of the people since the previous year. One person commented on how healthy I looked and then, worried, asked my OH later if I had had cancer or something. Someone else did the same asking me the next day. And as usual when I hadnāt seen people for while, lots of them just commented to me or quietly to my other half. When asked I tell them Iāve cut out unhealthy food like fruit and veggies and eat lots of meat, cream and cheese.
