How to Have Keto Success? Be Prepared!

[@judyw.2647]

First of all, I'm so glad to have found your channel. From one 50-something to another, I'm enjoying watching your weight loss videos. I needed to hear your point about how we need to prepare ourselves with meals/snacks when we are most vulnerable so we don't get off-plan.Thanks for your content.

[@KetoCookbooksCorner]

*Thanks for sharing these delicious recipes that will definitely make our lunchtime more exciting and satisfying!*

[@swampsagacity4685]

Pesto chicken is a good lunch as well & similar to your cracked chicken. Place butterflied or thin chicken breast cutlets in a greased glass baking dish. Cover generously with pesto or sun dried tomato pesto. Sprinkle lightly with fresh shredded Parmesan. Add a thin layer of fresh spinach (optional). Cover with shredded mozzarella. Bake in 375 oven. Delicious! It satisfies the craving for Italian food without having to worry about carbs in pasta or too much marinara sauce.

[@MindfulMidlife]

That sounds delicious! I am going to have to try that. Thank you!

[@auntpurl5325]

Keto means YUM. I think you are right about the key. Prepare to eat well. I love your cheerful personality. I'm 52, and I'm also sleeping 7-8 hours since starting keto. Joy!

[@loriisawesome4538]

Yummm! Food prep is such a great way to stay on a meal plan. For me, even just planning my meals for the day helps too.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Yes, you avoid the dreaded - now what should I eat!!!!!

[@LifeAdventureswithMichelle]

The last segment idea is *Brilliant*

[@MindfulMidlife]

Oh thank you! I have toyed with idea to do for quite some time. This seems the most natural and very changeable.

[@denisestott328]

The sleeping better is a real thing about keto. I to am sleeping better. I do keto along with OMAD. I don't have a gal bladder and I have IBS along with gastroparesis. I do have some issues but not daily.

[@MindfulMidlife]

I just started taking an enzyme supplement and it seems to be helping.

[@salenatepas2868]

I tried bile salts for the same reason but did not have success. I started to see a GI dr and they prescribed Colestipol and it worked instantly. Much cheaper going thru insurance than buying something online or at a market

[@laura2842]

looooooove your video. so like you!!! I hate the meal prep !!! but I need it available at a moment's notice. Cheers

[@annag4064]

Love your channel, always great information. My problem is late evening also and it’s because I do not prepare ahead, so I’m going to definitely get in gear and start with these recipes.

[@vzeimen]

You're Chili reminds me of one of my favorite go to meals when I'm dieting. You just take a pound of your favorite ground meat and brown it. Take any veggies you want, lots of them, I use cauliflower, broccoli stems. carrots, onion, red pepper, celery etc. chop them really fine. I use a food processor to get 1/8-1/4" pieces. and add them to your meat. Add a jar of sugar free spaghetti sauce and simmer for a little bit. You never miss the beans, it smells like you've cooked all day and is so satisfying to eat. You can have a big helping and the carbs are really low depending on what veggies you use. I figure even if the carbs are a little more, you're getting a lot of fiber so it's still better than some alternatives.

[@MindfulMidlife]

This sounds delicious Vicki!

[@lovingitonketo]

We make Crake Chicken but we call it Bacon Chicken, I LOVE IT.... But we also call Chicken Breast wrapped in Bacon, Bacon-wrapped Chicken also Ha, Ha. Oh well.... I Gotta try the Broccoli Cheddar Rounds, I'll let you know how they turn out.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Yes, do tell me if you like them. I may make them this weekend - I need to have snacks or I'll choose badly.

[@MarysPlace]

The best advice I give people is to plan your meals ahead it actually removes a lot of the stress when you take one day a week and prep for the week coming up making it a snap to get your meals done daily. Giving you more time to exercise or whatever you like. For example, I cooked my taco meat ahead and I cooked my spaghetti meat ahead. I have breaded with pork rinds and Parm cheese my chicken tenders up ahead and placed them to freeze enough so I could bag them and have them ready in my freezer, I have my veggies chopped up and blanched and froze them then bagged them. For this week I also cooked sausage patties ahead and froze them and patted up some hamburger patties to freeze. I just feel it is less to stress about and it also gives you time to think about the following week. Being that I am 3 years away from 60 I want to eliminate any kind of stress I can getting older has left me to be more sensitive and critical of myself so anything that can lift that weight off my soul is welcome here.

[@nancyrosendahl5616]

I just started trying Keto and I have lost 5 pounds so thank you for all the yummy recipes. I have to go back into the office starting August and I was wondering how I was going to do lunches. This was very helpful!

[@MindfulMidlife]

I hope you are able to find some fun ones that you like. Congrats on the 5 pounds.

[@kathybunch200]

I have a question about the last snack in this video. It looks like a pizza (cheese and pepperoni), did you freeze your leftovers and how did they taste after being frozen? Your smile is so pretty. I wish everyone smiled when they talk.

[@StClair008]

Wow, after yet another afternoon/evening of snacking on crap (keto crap, but still crap) instead of making dinner your video resonated with me! I do need to make up food ahead of time and plan. These are great suggestions. Yesterday, I made your cheeseburger in a bowl and it was so simple (I just made it up based on the picture) and delicious. Today I was back to eating crap. Hopefully tomorrow I get out the meal prep containers and get to work!

[@debm6507]

Yayyyy! I'm so excited to see this video, Bobbie! I have been on Keto for about 4 weeks. I do great during the day time and through dinner, but at night I have such a hard time staying on track! I mess up at least three times a week. I would love to see more of your cooking and prep videos! Thank you!!

[@MsLadypage]

I love your end segment, I am the same way no constipation here! I don’t have a gallbladder either it’s the higher fat and our body trying to process that higher fat. Thank you for your Chanel! I am just starting on keto again for the millionth time and it was the higher fat in my body not handling it well that did it so I’m going to try to keep the fat a little lower for a while until my body gets used to it. It is encouraging for me to see someone that is closer to my age doing keto!

[@MindfulMidlife]

Hey Angela! I just started taking an enzyme supplement (found at GNC). It seems to be helping with my digestion.

Hi there, I love your videos ! I just wanted to let you know that I don't have a gallbladder as well. I was told that now that I don't have one I need to take a digestive enzyme with meals, especially meals with fat. People who don't have gallbladders cannot process fat the way others do. It can't be just any enzyme so please check with the health store as they are trained. The love the keto diet as well but it can put a lot of strain on our digestive system because of our lack of gallbladder.

[@MindfulMidlife]

You are my hero Katie! I bought an enzyme supplement and I do believe it's working. I got it at GNC, but I may find one I can get on Amazon. I'm still playing with the dosage.

Had my last day at school today (school secretary) have one week of work at home then my summer break starts. My goal for the summer is to delete my Starbucks app, prepare meals ahead and find a low carb, dairy free breakfast that I can grab and go when school starts again so that I can stick to a two meal per day & 1-2 snack per day strategy as a lifestyle. I've got to do it and this video will help me reach my goals. What are you eating for breakfast these days Bobbi?

[@MindfulMidlife]

I don't eat breakfast most day, only weekends. I will eat eggs with lots of veggies, ham or bacon and maybe a little cheese. Sometimes I'll have a chaffle avocado toast.

[@captainmarvel6632]

Yes the keto offers all of those healthy benefits. i started keto about 5 weeks ago i have lost 25 lbs! i am doing the omad intermittent fasting. that is one meal a day. I sleep better. i have lost almost two sizes ! every morning my thighs are shrinking. and i am doing weight watchers as well. but the keto will also make you look very young as you lose your face tightens..its incredible i feel great!!! by fasting one meal a day , your body starts to reheal itself. per Dr. Berg. who i would recommend you to watch on KZbin, he is awesome.. him and his wife. And im over 50 as well .
