Testimony on Keto-Adaptation
“A year ago June my then 38-year-old husband was in a health crisis. Type 2 diabetic who had just developed high blood pressure. His pressure was so high, his weight was almost 300 pounds and our new Family Doctor went through the roof. He was on the verge of a stroke or heart attack. He also suffers from Severe Sleep Apnea.
I started us on a diet back then which used lean protein shakes. When I learned about you, I switched over to “your way” or now known as the “Maria way or the ME way” (ME= Maria Emmerich) of high fat, moderate protein, low carb.
Almost a year down the road he’s lost 50 pounds his blood pressure is much better and his diabetes is under control. He had a sleep study done and his very severe sleep apnea is now moderate when he sleeps on his side and only severe if he sleeps on his back. I also have lost 50 pounds and that’s even after spending 3 months this Spring/Summer in bed with a broken ankle after a freak ice storm this past April.
We aren’t perfect at following you yet but we’ve already made such huge strides forward. We are working at changing the habits of a lifetime. So Happy to have found you!!! -Sherrilee”

Cuuute!
I really miss seeing the pics of our posts pictured next to our links in your blog roll. I used to come to your blog sometimes just to check out how it would look here. 😉
My son has a severe dairy allergy~ could I substitute something else for the protein powder?
You could use the egg white protein. It tastes great! You can find it here: http://astore.amazon.com/marisnutran05-20/detail/B002NZG4X2
Happy Baking!
What could I use instead of the protein powder? Could I use real egg whites?
Or what about liquid whey? Could I omit it all together?
Sorry, I’m not sure if real egg whites would work.
Happy baking!
I think that eliminating it all together might work…let me know if you try it:)

I updated the recipe. The above recipe works better. 🙂
I don’t see any whey in the recipe …

What am I missing?
I tweaked the recipe to eliminate the protein powder. 🙂
