Good morning everyone,

This is my first post. I had Roux N Y on January 3rd. Everything is going GREAT and I am very happy with the results so far. I began to be able to eat pureed food last Thursday. I am trying to slow down my eating and take the suggested 20-30 minutes to eat, but I am finding it difficult for two reasons.

1) The amount of food is obviously very small. Breakfast is one scrambled egg, etc etc.

2) The food gets cold if I slow down long enough.

Other than simply microwaving the plate halfway through the meal, has anyone found a way to keep their food warm for their slower eating times?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Hey, thanks for giving the valuable information. While I am searching for some more about this one I found some useful and interesting article which helps to more about the almond butter. I am sharing that article here.

I hope it will helpful for us. I am searching for some more articles, If I found useful one I will share with you.

Almonds are nuts grown on trees, and peanuts are legumes, so one difference in how they grow.In a low carb diet almonds are preferred, with higher fat nuts like Brazil and Macadamia as ideal.

So maybe that is why almonds are much more popular as you can grind your own in most groceries and know there are no additives, or long shelf life.

Peanuts can grow mold as they are grown underground,

Not sure on the 'beauty' part. as a fascial scrub?

What is your favorite part about Keto? It has been perfect for me- those I stay VLCHF since I do not eat meat protein. I found keto can take you so far, and then your body adapts, so Ibegan what was hard for me, intermittent fasting and have had success and will stick with this. I have on meal a day in a 2-6 hr window..thats it. on 6 hr windows I have a little bit spread out and then back to 2/22. Now adapting to one meal is easy for some, hard for others, and yet I lost a lost by just sticking to it. My favorite IF Dr is Jason Fung, there is so much good science and long history in MOST cultures that you quickly see that eating 3 meals and three snacks is ALWAYS eating in our society. with 74% overweight to obese now it's no wonder. People can preach 'drop 500 calories, lose a pound a week'..how many millions of successful dieters are there that way? none, for long. your body is smarter than that, and adjusts til the shortage is over. Trading the energy and clear headiness for not always 'digesting' a snack or meal is great. and for those who CAN'T exercise in any regimen this works for disabled and elderly too. good luck.

what would be the portion sizes

and frequency or number of meals?
