How many calories are these recipes
Tori says
How do you come up to 0 net carbs for the cream of wheat? Any nutrition calculator I use gives me about 5 g net carbs???????
Olivia Wyles says
Tori, I have no earthly idea, that is so weird. I’m getting your same net carbs using cronometer. Something tells me that’s a typo. I will update!
Jeanine says
With the cream cheese pancakes, is the batter supposed to be lumpy from the cream cheese?
Olivia Wyles says
Yes, slightly lumpy! But make sure your cream cheese is softened.
Donna says
What are your feelings about avocados? I eat a 1/2 (if it is a large one) or a whole if small everyone morning with my eggs.

I love avocados with breakfast! Whenever I get a chance to cook my breakfast I’ll make 2 scrambled eggs with a slice of bacon, a whole sliced avocado, and a small sliced tomato.
Norma Engelmann says
Hey Olivia,
Just wondering if the bulletproof coffee is served hot or cold?
Olivia Wyles says
Usually hot, but I bet you could make a killer ice version too!
L C says
I’ll try your recipes. I’ve been on Keto for 20 days, dark pink ketosis on the test strips the entire time, averaging 1800 calories or less, and have list and regained the same 4 lbs. I’m staying under the 18 net carbs on my macro app every day and don’t understand why I’m not losing weight! I am still hungry at the end of the day most of the time too!
Olivia Wyles says
Hi LC, let me know how things are going after trying my recipes!
Linda Faust says
