Testimony of the Day

“I’m not a doctor or a scientist. I’m just a 47 year old lady who has had IBS for at least 20 ears and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a little over 10 years ago. I hadn’t had normal BM’s or a day without pain for so long it became my new normal. I had just learned to live with it. There were days I didn’t have the strength to pick up a coffee mug. Since I have been following Maria, I no longer have IBS symptoms, and no fibro pain. I feel great! As an added bonus…I have lost almost 50 pounds and weigh what I did before the birth of my oldest child. My energy is great. My moods are stable. And her recipes have made it soooo easy. Thanks Maria.” – Linda

Intermittent Fasting

Breakfast isn’t the most important meal of the day … “breaking your fast” is!

I remember when I first heard about “intermittent fasting.” I thought, no, no, no. This is not good for anyone who wants to maintain their muscle. But after diving into what happens when you fast on a well-formulated keto-adapted diet, I realized that not only do you maintain your muscle, but there are other amazing benefits as well. As I started putting this into practice, I not only experienced the physical benefits, but the mental benefits were outstanding! I now work and write early in the morning in a fasted state for about three hours and my mind has never been clearer.

French Toast

Intermittent fasting came into my life almost by accident. With the increased amount of fat I ate (while also moderating my protein), not only was I losing weight, but I was no longer “hangry.” When you are eating the highest nutrient-dense foods like herbs, spices, organic egg yolks, and organic organ meat, your cells are satiated.

Fasting is not a diet. It is a pattern of eating. You can eat very poorly while practicing intermittent fasting, a decision that will cause you to not reap as many benefits than if you were to eat a well-formulated keto-adapted diet. Fasting really isn’t as drastic as it sounds. When you sleep, you are starting to fast a little. During the first 10 hours after eating, you are digesting and absorbing nutrients. It isn’t until after not French Toasteating for 10 hours do you actually get into a fasted state. If you keep your window of eating open to only 8 hours of your day, then after 12 hours of not eating, you get into a fasted state where you can burn fat more efficiently.

I know this may sound impossible. What I find interesting is that with most dieting, the mental part is easy but the physical part is hard. What I mean by that is knowing you need to cut carbohydrates and gluten is easy, but the physical act of making those changes is the hard part. With fasting, it is the mental part that blocks many clients from even trying it. It sounds impossible, so they don’t even try. I was there, too. I did not like the idea of fasting or at least I thought I didn’t. I liked eating. But since I was a sugar burner, I always wanted to eat. Now that I’m keto-adapted, I save so much time by not being plagued by thoughts of food all day.

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • TO MAKE BREAD:
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Separate the eggs (save the yolks), and whip the whites for a few minutes until VERY stiff (I use a stand mixer on high for a over 8 minutes).
  • Gently mix the protein powder into the whites. Then slowly fold the softened cream cheese (or reserved egg yolks) into the whites (making sure the whites don't fall).
  • Grease two bread pans with coconut oil spray and place the "dough" in the pans.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let completely cool before cutting or the bread will fall.
  • Cut into 18 slices.
  • I keep this bread in the freezer at all times to make sandwiches.
  • TO MAKE FRENCH TOAST:
  • Grease a cast iron skillet with coconut oil and heat to medium high.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 2 eggs, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla and cinnamon.
  • Dip the slices of protein bread into the egg mixture.
  • Place the drenched protein bread onto the hot skillet.
  • Grill until golden brown on both sides.
  • Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining bread.
  • TO MAKE SYRUP:
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce by placing the butter in a saucepan over high heat. Using Swerve: Before you begin, make sure you have everything ready to go - the almond milk and the butter next to the pan, ready to put in. Work fast or the sweetener will burn. Heat butter on high heat in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart (2 L) or 3-quart (3 L) saucepan. As soon as it comes to a boil, watch for specks of brown (this is brown butter....so good on veggies!). Immediately add the Swerve and the almond milk to the pan. Whisk until sauce is smooth. Let cool in the pan for a couple minutes, and then pour into a glass mason jar and let sit to cool to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
  • Place the French Toast on a plate and top with syrup. Enjoy!

Another great testimony of the Day

“On a very positive note, my first few days of the program (30 day accelerated meal plans) have netted a 7 lb loss which is equal to what I experienced doing the Hcg diet. EXCEPT I AM NOT STARVING!!! 🙂
Thanks again!” -Mike

Way to go Mike!

 

Eating out and making healthy choices for your body can be tough! Ordering an omelet on your Pure Protein and Fat days should be a safe bet, but think again! Clients often complain about acid reflex after a dining out experience; could it be hidden wheat in the OMELETS? YEP!  IHOP adds pancake batter to their omelets. That’s right – they add sugar, carbs and WHEAT to their eggs for the omelet base for “fluffiness”… yuck!

A spinach and mushroom omelet is 24 carbs and 7 grams of sugar! That just isn’t right.

    I’ve gotten healthier with a grain/sugar free lifestyle because I found out a few years ago I’m celiac. Once I cut out gluten products and grain I started feeling better and had a bit more energy. Cut sugar out in 2002 and have never looked back. One of the best things I ever did for myself!!

    I have lost a total of 68 lbs in the last year from changing to a low carb lifestyle. I shattered my ankle in a car accident and quickly put on 80+ lbs.

  • Susan says:

    plenty of energy no bloating or brain fog

  • Madeline Strano says:

    I seriously know that low carb is best for me but I have some difficulty with it due to my stomach issues. It is definitely something I need and want to work on. The whey proteins would be a great help!!

    healing my body from Lymes with wheat free/sugar free lifestyle.

  • Sasha says:

    I was tested/diagnosed with leaky gut about 18 months ago and immediately began a grain-free diet. While I’m not 100% yet, I’m just about back to “normal” (and by normal I mean no adverse reactions to foods, no painful stomach issues/cramps, and my skin issues have all but cleared up). If only I’d known how powerful a grain-free diet can be to one’s health…I would have gone grain free YEARS ago 🙂

  • Laurie says:

    Since starting to avoid grains and sugar in our every day diet, my husband has lost 100 pounds and gone from pre-diabetic to healthy. I have also lost some weight.

    Maria, your blog and recipes are such a gift. I have “fallen off the wagon” and feel awful 🙁 I will begin again, I never felt better than when eating your way. No swelling, no aches, no puffiness, just felt great! Why do we go back to old ways when we know what’s best?! Someday I hope to answer that question 🙂

  • Kim says:

    Ive been sleeping more soundly and have so much more energy!

  • Darla says:

    Before I try the toast I need the whey protein powder!! I am loving the no wheat. No sugar is more of a challenge but I hardly eat sugar anyway. But now I have been so much more aware of how I feel when I do eat it. Thanks Maria. Keep on keeping on!

  • Barbara says:

    My breathing has improved, and I don ‘t have as many aches and pains.

  • Olya says:

    Much better even energy

  • Krista says:

    I’ve been working up to this lifestyle change for a little over a year & what I can say is that the more I eat the Maria way, the more amazing and in control of my health I feel! Not only that, but I eat with purpose now. I feel so satisfied & the guilt I associated with eating is GONE. It’s really almost too good to be true. Eat this way, be healthy, have energy & feel great about how you look! I was never able to go very long between meals & yesterday while I was out Christmas shopping for almost 7 hours I realized I hadn’t eaten anything since my egg & ham omelet I made for breakfast & I had no urge to stop & grab an unhealthy snack! I made it all the way home to my slow cooker full of Maria Emmerich Chili :). Thanks Maria. You are an amazing resource.

  • Cinde Morris says:

    Going grain free – now I can see why they call it the happy fat diet. I have never felt so good, full of energy – it’s like I was in a haze of lethargy. No motivation to do anything. Now my husband has to talk me down all kinds of crazy schemes, like no to painting the entire house. 🙂 The scale isn’t moving as fast as I’d like it ot be, but I can’t deny I love how I feel. That’s what counts to me.

  • Betty says:

    So glad I found Maria!!! Still making changes to a healthified life.

  • Sandy says:

    I would love to win this package.

  • Sarah says:

    I’ve been following the gluten and sugar-free lifestyle for quite some time. This past Friday I ate pizza crust. BIG mistake! I had no energy yesterday and wanted to sleep all day. My stomach hurts (constipation) and I’m puffy. Detoxed all day yesterday and I’m continuing today. I HATE this feeling! My tinnitus is very loud but not sure what is triggering that. It gets loud when I’m 100% so really stumped on how or if I can eliminate it.

  • Chris says:

    Joint pain is diminishing. The ‘ole knees are feeling so much better!

  • Lori says:

    Love the faux french toast <3 !! Would love to score the Whey as well!!

  • Valerie says:

    I feel much better in so many ways since going grain and sugar free. More energy, less hungry, and fewer migraines!!

  • Catherine Griffice says:

    Because I’ve gotten healthier with a grain/sugar free lifestyle, I no longer have migraines, lost weight, and have eliminated all prescription meds including the “purple pill’.

  • Aimee says:

    Would love to win!

  • MARGO says:

    Fighting early diabetes and no carbs/ no sugar really helps.

  • Melissa Watterson says:

    I started eating this way to reduce inflammation in my body. This is helping me to become a better athlete.

  • kellysch says:

    The inflammation in my body has really lessened. I have lupus, raynaud’s and fibro. Going grain-free has also helped immensely with gastro issues, mouth ulcers, skin lesions, etc. My physicians are quite pleased! Kelly

  • Cynthia Bampi says:

    I’ve been doind the “Maria way” since last March, lost 50lb, and I’m not diabetic any more, and my family just adopted that way of life with me just to see what I’m eating, so happy having 3 small kids doing wise choises and learning what its healthy, and what its not, thank you!!

  • Chick on a Chopper says:

    Lost more than 50 pounds in the past year after giving up grains and sugar! Ten pounds to go and I’m back to my ideal weight.

  • RubenSr. says:

    Maria helped us relearn how to eat and what to eat. She is continuing to find alternative ways in substituting delicious and special meals and explaining what food does to your body. Her insight has assisted my wife in losing over 60 lbs. and has helped me lose 100 lbs. I have also lost type 2 diabetes which I had for over 17 years and I have continued to remain diabetes free for the last 3 years. Thanks Maria

  • Vanessa says:

    So many things have improved with this diet. I have more energy I don’t have to worry about getting shaky or nauseous in between meals my allergies have cleared up. I love it!

  • Marie says:

    I just purchased the 30 day plan. I’m still adapting because I’m stocking up on ingredients. Even though I’m not yet 100%, I’ve been losing weight, almost 3 pounds this week. I already notice the difference in my joints. The one question I have is about almond milk. In the past, I discovered it was not my friend. I used it for about 2 weeks and had intestional issues. When I stopped using it, everything was fine again. What can I use as a substitute? Thanks.

    • sophie says:

      You can make your own nut/seed milks. Most recipes use the ratio 1 cup nuts to 4 cups water. I usually use more water…

      Sometimes it’s not the actual NUT in the nut milk causing the problem – but the additives/preservatives, like carrageenan – that’s why I recommend trying to make it yourself.

      That said, you can find other nut/seed milks at the store like coconut, flax, etc.
      Or simply buy canned coconut milk and dilute it.

      Regular milk would work too…but it would have more carbohydrates.

  • Lisa says:

    My heart palpitations have completely disappeared since eliminating sugar and grains from my diet!

  • Sarah G says:

    If I don’t have a Facebook account can I still enter to win?

  • Going sugar free has help me with my energy levels insanely! I no longer have to take the 3pm nap or eat every 4 hours!

    Went grain free a few years ago, fell off the wagon. Came back a year ago and feel so much better. Never again! And I’m at a normal weight again. Love it. And love Maria and Jay Robb products…

  • The sugar obsession and craving to binge eat sugary products gets better the longer I don’t eat that garbage. Learning more about sugar really changed my life. Now I am grain free too, it makes such a positive difference! Thanks for the chance to win!

  • Linda Welshans says:

    It has allowed me to lose 40 lbs and feel good inside and out.

  • Amy says:

    I have found it is much easier to maintain my weight (loss) since going grain free. I also find now that when I do eat grains/bread/sugar (like at the holidays) I get that bloaty feeling.

  • Sharon says:

    Low-carb really changed my life. For all the years we were ‘brain-washed’ that low-fat was the way to go without any consideration of sugars/flours, etc., I gained weight consistently no matter how little I consumed .. it was a vicious cycle. I’m very balanced, happy and I sleep so well now. This is life changing 🙂

  • Dyanne Spease says:

    Going grain free has helped me to lose 27 lbs in a little under 5 months. Also it is helping me to heal my thyroid and I know this because I feel so much better.

  • Stacey says:

    Grain free eating has helped me to keep my blood sugar in a normal range and not have to take medication. I’ve lost 15 lb. since Nov. 1 and my blood pressure is down and I have no acid reflux. It has helped my husband because he no longer has the stomach pain that he’s had most of his life.

  • Kim says:

    No heartburn or headaches, more energy…..

    Life is so much better. My cholesterol was never high, but it is back down to 132. My IBS symptoms as gone. I’ve had my thyroid meds reduced. My moods are better, my sleep is better. And that is just me. My son’s ADHD is so manageable – we do not use meds. His eczema is also much better.

    We also LOVE Jay Robb.

  • Lilian says:

    I’ve been following a grain free/ sugar free diet during the last 2 months after being diagnosed as carb-intolerant. My husband was diagnosed as diabetic.

  • Heidi says:

    I feel so much better eating healthy

    I am having a hard time right now due to the death of my husband. I am trying to get back on program now but funeral food is just the best. I know how bad it is though. I feel so much better when I’m on my low carb, no sugar, no wheat program. My hips don’t hurt and also all my other joints. I’m clear headed and energized.

  • Kim says:

    If you tend to lose weight with protein, and tend to gain with fat, does that indicate anything…even though carbs are les thatn 30g/day?

  • Mary says:

    My overall health has improved since cutting out grains and sugar. All of my numbers were lower at this year’s health screening. My skin is clear and my hair is growing faster than ever. I’ve also managed to maintain a 40 pound weight loss.

    My health has improve since changing how I eat and what I eat with increased energy, I am happier, and I look ahead at how much healthier I am becoming everyday.

    I would so love yo win . Trying yo way the Maria way ! Some days have been hard lately I was in a car accident and just don’t feel like fixing so then I eat poorly .:(

  • Jody says:

    I have so much more energy. I teach BodyPump in NR and feel so strong and have increased my weights significantly. Can’t wait to get to class and motivate others.

  • Judy says:

    Now that I understand that I’m allergic to almonds, I have found that this is the only way to clear up some of my inflammatory issues
    (eczema, arthritis…).

  • Melissa says:

    I’ve lost over 55lbs since April which helps with a lot of different things that had bothered me.

  • Nina says:

    I’m a Miami transplant leaving in NZ and a loyal follower of Maria Mind Body Health. Jay Robb is found here but VERY expensive. A few times a year I buy it online, have it delivered to a family member who then ships to me. I’d love not be stingy with my use of the protein powder [smile] as I just make the bread and it was excellent. I don’t have a facebook account but hope I can still participate.

  • Janet says:

    My hubby and I are both having better health after going grain free!

  • Lisa says:

    My husband and I have been following the low carb, gluten free lifestyle for 4 and 1/2 months now. I am gluten intolerant and your recipes have really helped us not miss our favorite foods. Thank you:) Making your pizza crust for the big Panthers/Saints game tonight!

  • Lori says:

    Great recipe… as ALWAYS!
    Grain free, sugar free lifestyle helps me keep my hormones balanced and maintain my weightloss in a healthy range. Thanks so much for all you do, Maria!

  • Relizabeth says:

    feeling stronger…

  • Darcy says:

    I’m finally losing weight and not feeling deprived at all!

  • Kristen says:

    I love to cook and it’s a great excuse to spend more time where I love!

  • Julieanne says:

    I’m so glad we’ve decided to go mostly gluten-free! My husband no longer snores…and even when he was thin and trim when we first got married, he still snored loudly! 🙂

  • Audrey says:

    I am struggling with taking the plunge into low carb, high fat moderate protein no grain eating. This is the best blog I have seen and Maria is so encouraging.I’m hoping to go full tilt in the new year.

  • Karen says:

    I can’t thank you enough for all the wonderful recipes. Beacause of them I am able to stay on track and never feel like I am deprived…especially during the holidays.

  • Teresa Farrow says:

    I find if I make a Jay Robb protein shake in the evening I do not want to eat everything in the house. I mix a frozen banana with the mix in Almond milk.

  • Kara says:

    This was my first week eating the Maria way and I have a lot more energy and have been thinking clearer in just one week! I also noticed my pants haven’t been as snug 🙂 So far I haven’t made any recipes that call for egg white protein because Jay Robb is a little out of my price range at the moment and I’m saving up! I would love to win so I could try some healthy treats ASAP. I’ve followed Maria for a long time on facebook and always knew I needed to bite the bullet and just do it. Your Keto Adapted book was just what I needed to finally make the leap! Thank you Maria!

  • SuzyQsy says:

    Love using Jay Robb, esp for my kids (all under 2) So nice to bake them things and know how healthy is and they won’t get a sugar crash! Thanks for all your recipes!

    • SuzyQsy says:

      And bc of that, among other things, my health as improved mentally as well, lol! Happier babies! Happier mommy (and daddy too!) Oh and everyone got “sick” and it only lasted ONE day! What a great benefit!

  • Barbara says:

    Going gluten-free has enabled me to stop taking Prilosec. My heartburn and GERD are gone…!

  • Teresa Basaldua says:

    Three years ago I had Weight Loss Surgery but was only able to lose 50 of the 150 pounds goal. Last August I gave up sugar to jump start my weight lost and am down an additional 30 pounds! Once given up, I have no desire to eat any, even during all the holiday celebrations. Additionally, I look forward to your cookbooks to help me feel satisfied at mealtime. Thank you for all you do!

    Terry

  • Megan says:

    I can’t seem to master the protein bread. I have made it many times. It always falls after I take it out if the oven. Or, If I cook it the full time, it’s extremely dry. I’d really like to master this!

  • Nancy says:

    Feel better, better blood sugar and almost no IBS

  • Keeping the carbs out of my diet have helped me feel so much better. I’m so glad I found you on Pinterest. You’ve made life easier. Thanks!!!

  • unterderlaterne says:

    I have no facebook account , consequence is, that I am unable to participate in this *give away again*! Now I know what it feels like to be discriminated against! It is not a good feeling! It is truly unfair! Barbara.

  • LindaCC says:

    Purchased your 30 day accelerated program. Have been eating and cooking from all of your books for quite some time. Changes since eating this way…. Sinus clears up, joint aches & pains gone, weight loss, blood sugar normal. Strayed over the summer for the 1st time in 5yrs, it all came back… Gained 15 lbs. back on plan now and so glad.

  • Theresa says:

    Feeling better is definitely one of the largest benefits!

  • Donna says:

    no gas! LOL

  • Susan Nishimura says:

    Feeling so much better eating healthy!

    Definitely clearer thinking and no brain fog and easier digestion. Thanks!

  • Chipper says:

    Using these products has put much engery to our lives.

  • EB says:

    The best thing about this lifestyle is how it has empowered me. For years I felt like I was at the mercy of doctors, I felt like something was wrong with me because I couldn’t lose weight, I lacked focus and energy, suffered from anxiety and ADD, had those dreaded afternoon slumps, felt insecure about my skin problems and couldn’t control my cravings for sweets. I went to doctor after doctor, spending more money that I care to remember trying to find the elusive cure to all my ails. I was so frustrated.
    Now I’m empowered. Through Maria’s blog and books I have gained a real understanding of how to control my weight, moods, health, and energy levels. I’m no longer at the mercy of prescription-happy doctors and people who haven’t seen me in a while always tell me how great I look. Best of all, in my opinion, is the fact that I can tackle my life without the hindrance of ADD, anxiety and afternoon slumps. I never really appreciated how badly those things compromised my quality of life. And of course, I’m much more confident in myself now that my weight and skin are under control 🙂
    I now feel like my health and wellbeing are within my control, and that is an invaluable feeling to have.

  • Tanya says:

    I am blown away at wonderful changes both my husband and are are seeing after only been on the 30 accelerated plan for one week!!! More energy, 18 lbs weight loss between the both of us. and we are enjoying feeling good about what we are putting into our bodies. Thank you so much Maria for all you do you are amazing!!!!!

  • Penny says:

    Six weeks now and hubby and I have lost 45 pounds total. Not feeling hungry all the time. Less joint pain. Decreased some meds already.

  • Katie Jan says:

    What a wonderful prize! I would LOVE to win this! 🙂

    • Katie Jan says:

      I have been following this way of eating since June and have lost 25 pounds. My HDL has increased while my triglycerides have dropped. I am stoked! <3 I am insulin resistance and have PCOS, so these results are such a blessing as losing weight is extremely difficult for me.

  • Amanda says:

    So done with the insulin roller coaster. Still have moods, but they are so much less severe. I also used to be hungry all the time, and I can go several hours without even thinking about food.

  • Easton says:

    After only one week of being on the 30 day accelerated plan I have lost 8 pounds! I can’t wait to continue and see these great results!

  • Connie says:

    My knee pain is so much better because there is less inflammation and I’m losing weight.

  • Theresa S says:

    Big fan of you, and Jay Robb. Recent intriguing pizza crust recipe called for Jay Robb Psyllium Husk powder. Had previously sourced my Jay Robb from netrition, but they do not carry. Looking to expand my horizons. Thanks for all you do!

  • Steph B. says:

    Being grain and sugar free has helped me tremendously! I used to get frequent stomach aches (to the point where I couldn’t eat or do anything because I felt so crummy); With the switch in my diet, not my aches have gone away, but I have more energy and clearer skin!

  • Julie B says:

    I saw this posted tonight and went straight to work to make a loaf of protein bread (which I had been thinking to do for the last week but just hadn’t gotten around to it). Whelp….stuffed my bread pan so full of the white fluffy goodness that it spilled over and made these almost perfect white puffy breadsticks on the side of my bread pan in the oven as it baked. So after i pulled it out of the oven i got a tasty treat of warm protein breadsticks i slathered with butter. Cant wait for my french toast in the morning!

  • KathyL says:

    I am just getting started with this way of eating but am looking forward to better health in 2014.

  • Becky says:

    Living grain free and sugar free has freed me from headaches, neuropathy, lethargy, and more misery than I care to recount. I’m down 53 Lbs and I feel better than ever!

  • Erica Rodriguez Reyes says:

    My first time, I couldn’t believe how delicious Jay Robb protein tastes. I bought a small sample of piña colada 2 weeks ago and was amazed it was a low sugar, high protein drink. Looking forward to trying (winning) more. Either way, I feel better eating low sugar and low grain. My body aches/pain has gone away and I have more energy. I feel overall healthier on low sugar way of life.

  • Sami Veloso says:

    After coming across your blog I encouraged my husband to go grain free because he had just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. In 3 months he lost 9kg (ab out 20 pounds). His cholesterol and diabetes are now gone!

  • MIchelle L says:

    Going sugar free has been miraculous. I have Type 2 diabetes and this way of eating has made my glucose readings seem like a dream. It’s wonderful!

  • Denise says:

    I am so glad I found your page. I recently went completely grain free (after having been gluten and dairy free for more than a year) trying to find a solution to my ‘brain fog’ and horrible digestion and skin problems. I happened onto your site from another site and I’m so glad I did. Twenty years ago I did a keto diet successfully for weight loss (using Jay Robb’s methods) but never thought of it in terms of the right way to eat forever. Things seem to come together at the right time and I’m hoping the right time is now. I love your blog and hope to learn many things from your words and links. Thanks!

  • Beckie says:

    I love Jay Robb protein powder. Great tasting. I love eating eating the Maria way!

  • Sharron says:

    I have been eating low carb for about 2 1/2 years. I lost 30 pounds and have kept it off, but would love to lose about 6 more pounds. I plan on “going Keto” in January. Love Jay Robb stuff and would love to win!!

  • Cher says:

    I’d like to try Jay Robb products. Thanks for the chance.

  • Stacey Bennett says:

    I’ve lost 21 pounds so far. Blood sugars and blood pressure are improved. Hoping to continue seeing improvements! Thanks, Maria!

  • Ashley Dunlop says:

    I feel more alive, more awake, more calm living a wheat free life! My stomach doesnt sound like its calling for the dinosaurs anymore, My skin has cleared up and so has my mind! Never going back!

  • Elizabeth says:

    My family and I just tried your protein lasagna last night and it was a hit. Can’t wait to try out more of your recipes. My friend swears by your cookbooks!! Thanks for making this WOE so much easier :0)

  • Linda says:

    When I stay grain free I have less aches and pains, less fluid retention and better skin…my mood is better, too.

  • Jennifer says:

    No more sugar cravings and joints feel much better – Thanks Maria!

  • kim says:

    I sleep better!!!

  • Laura says:

    I have so much more energy throughout the day when I have a protein shake first thing in morning!

  • Dana says:

    With 4 kids at home, a farm to run, and working to get over Lyme Disease which I’m battling now into my 4th year – this diet is truly helping a lot – even in the short period of time that I have been doing it. I have 3 of the cookbooks which are now used ALL the time! Thank you!

  • Dawn says:

    I just started eating the Maria way. I have tried everything over the years. After being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia 12 years ago, I followed a vegan diet. I felt less pain and put the diseases in remission but I never could get my weight under control unless I worked out twice a day and followed severe calorie restriction. I am a child of the fat free era, so it has taken a bit to throw off that way of thinking. I started on GAPS diet a few months back and really felt better, now I have transitioned into the Maria way. I have lost 6.5 pounds in the last 8 days and I feel better. It was a tough few days getting through the “Keto flu” but I am glad I fought through it. Now I feel great; I am not very hungry and I sleep through the night. I am excited to continue this lifestyle and see more benefits from it. Thank you.

  • Vivian says:

    I have the book and plan to read it this week. I am hardly ever THHIS excited about reading a book! Can’t wait! If it is anything like your other books I own, I will learn lots of new things and be encouraged to keep on keeping on with this lifestyle. (since 2003) Thank you (and Craig) for all you do!

  • Lynn Addis says:

    No more reflux, no more sugar crashes, lost weight and inches.

  • Monica says:

    Would love to win this prize package to help me in my journey.

  • Pansy says:

    I love Jay Robb, you just reminded me I have some of his samples of whey powder I haven’t used yet! My husband and I have been eating the Maria way for almost a year now, he’s down 40 pounds and the dr. reduced his cholesterol meds and expects to do the same with his diabetes meds. I’m down 17 pounds and I don’t have problems with breakouts on my face. We love Maria’s keto fudge, if you haven’t tried it, do!

  • Angela says:

    Gotta try this one!

  • Amy says:

    I would love to win this amazing Jay Robb package, it’s one of the last staples of your recipes that I still haven’t been able to get yet. Going to try the bread with some Raw Fit protein powder in the meantime. Thanks Maria and Craig for the awesome recipes, information, and inspiration. Since transitioning to a “healthified” lifestyle I feel lighter in some many ways – weight and mood. It’s amazing! Hoping to be able to purchase the 30 day accelerated package soon and so bummed I missed out on the black Friday special. Thanks for all you do!

I have been eating low carb for a few months now and I have not used Whey Protein Powder or any of the products in this giveaway, but I am willing to add them in and learn about them! I feel good for a 64 yo woman. I must admit that I do eat some sugar…I love my Ghiradelli 60% Cocoa Chocolate Chips. Other than that, I have been grain free, gluten free, low carb.

  • Kim says:

  • Shelby says:

    It’s so hard but I am trying to self-motivate myself by knowing just how much this lifestyle will help with illness I am trying to overcome. So I’ve been doing well for a week and I can’t wait to see what I feel like in a few more weeks! Thank you!

  • Karen says:

    I notice that you use a lot of swerve, what do you think about coconut sugar? I’d like to hear what you’ve got to say about it. curious

  • Tamara says:

    I was eating WAY to much protein and sugar! I had, had enough! I bought Maria’s 30 day accelerated Package on Cyber Monday and have already dropped 11 pounds! My husband is “doing” it with me but always wants to cheat. He asks me and tell him a flat NO! As I love what the scale is doing! Thanks Maria!

  • MIchelle L. says:

    Much more energy and no more brain fog!

  • Linda says:

    Could Jay Robb Vanilla protein powder be used for this?

  • Marisela says:

    Once people see the difference, they suddenly drop the hater attitude and start asking tons of questions. And of course, I welcome all the inquiries and soon enough, they too are on their way to a healthier, more productive lifestyle. Awesome!

  • Cheryl says:

    I always feel better sugar free and certainly the appetite suppression is wonderful. I really like Jay Robb and love the info here! I have liked both FB pages..
    Thanks so much,

  • sonia says:

    Just over a year ago I started eating low carb; best decision ever for my health! Found much help on the web, Maria being a great one with links to healthy ingredients like Jay Robb products. Down 83 pounds so far and a few to go, but the best part is; I feel great and am off all meds for bp and cholestrol control. At 61 years I feel like I am in my 40’s. Sonia

  • VR says:

    I was strict Primal for about 8 months. Lost around 45 lbs (for a total of 75). Felt great aboout myself and never got sick. I never really felt BAD even at my heaviest 210lbs. But now, that I’ve fallen off the wagon for a few months and started consuming grains and sugars again, all my joints hurt and I have a constant runny nose that won’t stop. And of course, I feel sluggish and FAT. Looking forward to getting back on track real quick!

  • Michelle says:

    My skin is no longer red and itchy. I have better focus and do not feel like sleeping all day. I feel like a new person.

  • Shauna Skinner says:

    I have gone from a size 14 (transitioning to a 16) and now I am a comfy size 12 since July 27. My husband has lost 20 lbs and no longer huffs and puffs when he bends over to tie his shoes. His blood pressure was elevated but now he is 118/69. We both feel better. My daughter uses your recipe for egg pudding and our little granddaughter is the happiest and healthiest baby. She has not been ill one day of her 9 months. Thank you!

  • Keri B. says:

    My stomach doesn’t get upset anywhere near as often now and I’m also always satiated by the foods I eat, so I don’t overeat!

  • Nancy Hupalo says:

    There are not enough words to express my deep appreciation for Maria and Craig’s work here on this site teaching the keto way – for ultimate health there is no other way and I have a stack of medical files 27 yrs old to prove it! Thank you for pointing us in the right direction concerning how we eat and what we eat, I have hope for the first time and not afraid to grow old 🙂 love love this blog!!

  • Mary D says:

  • Mona says:

    I love sugar but have noticed how much better we feel when we leave out wheat and sugar! Thanks so much!

  • Wenchypoo says:

    Maria–just had to tell you of a funny experience I had with your Amazing Maria bread: I made a loaf (almond meal version), cut it up into cubes and toasted it. I used half for stuffing, and ran the other half through the food processor to make bread crumbs for future use.

    Stuffing went over really well, but that’s not the funny part. I used some of those breadcrumbs with ground meat to make burgers, and THE BURGERS SWELLED UP JUST LIKE YOUR BREAD DOES! I have no idea if this was supposed to happen, or if the psyllium has a second life, or what. The burgers were tasty and juicy, but really fat compared to the usual shape.

    We will be making Maria breadcrumbs and “Maria” burgers again! I also used some eggs and crumbs (+ gelatin as per your trick) to coat chicken with just last night–no, the chicken didn’t swell up, but it was moist and flavorful just the same. My cat went NUTS over it!

  • Kristen says:

    I am no longer moody and “hangry”!

  • Tera Davis says:

    I’m loving this new “healtified” lifestyle – not only have I dropped half of my weight loss goal in the first month I feel better overall, not hungry all the time and happier!

    New to the grain free sugar free lifestyle,but not new to the Jay Robb protein shakes. I would love to win 🙂

  • Pati says:

    thank you for the give away. hope to win 🙂

    Hi, Maria! Thank you for this great recipe and for all you do. Is there a substitute I can use for the Swerve Confectioners in the syrup recipe until I purchase some? Merry Christmas to you and your family!

  • Sami says:

    Going grain and sugar-free was something that has helped me immensely. Having come from a health background that was completely unwell (Grave’s Disease, hyperthyroidism caused me to have surgery which removed most of both thyroid lobes, which in turn, gave me hypothyroidism), I can tell you first-hand, that diet matters. 100% of what I put into my body affects how it can and cannot operate. Changing my diet has changed my life. I am fit, healthy and couldn’t be happier!
    Thank you for the chance to win!

    xoxo.

  • Theresa says:

    Love Jay Robb protein. It helps me stick to my low carb diet because it taste soooo goood!

    My daughter has been talking a lot about your ideas lately and I must say she knows her stuff and she’s right, you have very informative, easy to follow, articles and ideas! I have been using Jay Robb’s proteins for about a year now and that along with changing my entire perspective on “Food” (especially gluten) has changed my life, health and body!! Thanks for caring enough to share it all with Us!! Merry Christmas!!!

  • Tammy Thomas says:

    I’ve lost 3-4 sizes, and about 35 since may, I’m feeling better, but best of all I’ve decrease from 5.5 meds down to 2 so far and hopefull I’ll be able to eliminate those last two also. I’ve learned so much through the blog and the books and services I’ve purchased.

  • Nadine says:

    Hi Maria! I just made the syrup with coconut oil, since we are not eating any dairy (yet). How long is it good for if I store it in the fridge? And I am guessing I’d have to warm up the syrup before using it since the oil would go back to a solid consistency? Keep up the great work! There is not a single recipe we have tried that we don’t like and we have tried out A LOT! 🙂

    Can you use Stevia? What about egg whites from the store vs egg whites from the egg?

  • Angela says:

    Can I replace the cream cheese with cottage cheese?

  • Tanya says:

    Hello Maria! Absolutely love this recipe especially with the syrup but, last time I made the bread it fell and was half the height…..anything I can do to avoid it next time??

    • cemmerich says:

      You have to make sure the whites are very stiff. I beat in stand mixer for 5 minutes or so. 🙂

  • M. says:

    While fasting is it okay to drink tea (it would be green tea)with stevia or have a cup of Natural Calm with a couple drops of stevia? Thank you! Love your blog and all your knowledge! 🙂

  • Jeanie says:

    Maria,

    Could I add some salt to this bread recipe to give it more flavor? Or would this make the whites fall? Thank you

    Hi Maria, I very much appreciate your blog, informative as well as inspiring!
    I’m low carb since 7 years. Below 20g carbs per day the last two years. No grains and full fat dairy.
    I’ve tried intermittent fasting. I really like not thinking about food during the fasting window, I feel I become more focused but when I have my first meal braking the fast I always get a splitting headache. I’m 32years old, fairly easily stressed and well get worked up quite easily (high adrenaline, trembling etc). Found some posts online hinting that I should eat very regular meals instead.. Do you cover anything on adrenal glands in your book? I have pco (but ovulating on this low carb diet) and want to improve my insulin sensitivity..
    If you have any thoughts on this quite broad question of mine I’d much appreciate it.
    Thanks and best regard,
    A-K

      I do write about it in Keto-Adapted. Your best option might be a health assessment. This will help me understand what deficiencies you have and what supplements can help you heal. 🙂

      people with adrenal fatigue (issues), shouldn’t do intermittent fasting – this isn’t to say they have to eat every two hours or something…but the meals SHOULD be more regular.
      Fasting can be very hard on the system – especially for those with adrenal issues.
      Women with PCOS often have blood sugar issues as well…so fasting: not good.

    Yesterday when I was using coconut milk (for one of your recipes actually!), I noticed that the thick cream on top has the consistency (well, almost) of cream cheese. Since I cannot handle dairy (whey isolate is fine for some reason…), could I sub in the coconut cream for the cream cheese in this recipe? Do you think it would work?

    Thanks so much <3
