Keto Diet After Bariatric Surgery

Have you been wondering if the Keto diet after bariatric surgery is right for you?

I most certainly have. We know the low carb Keto diet after bariatric surgery is really trending right now, so if you are interested, we want to help you figure out exactly how to start for yourself.

After having a baby and not being able to take off the weight I regained by eating my primarily Paleo eating plan, my husband and I decided to give the Ketogenic diet (aka “Keto”/low carb/LCHF — Low Carb High Fat) a try. I’m hoping this will be a helpful guide to set you on the right path to losing weight on the Keto diet after bariatric surgery. I’m going to share with you exactly how my husband and I are doing it.

Easiest Chocolate Dipped Strawberries {low-carb}

by bariadmin Leave a Comment

In honor of Mother’s Day, I made the easiest chocolate dipped strawberries!

When I say they’re the easiest, I really do mean it. Plus, it is way cheaper to make your own versus buying from a specialty store. I also love being able to customize my berries using sugar-free chocolate, and whatever toppings I want to roll them into. Today I chose to roll them in mini chocolate chips, chopped almonds, and just a little Himalayan pink salt.

Conquer Food Cravings: How to Stop Failing Your Eating Plan

by bariadmin Leave a Comment

We know that in order to achieve and maintain weight loss, we need to adhere to an eating plan as prescribed by our nutritionists. With bariatric patients, this is typically a low-fat and low-carb diet. We know that slipping up and allowing a little bit of our old habits back in starts the cycle of regain. We can quickly find ourselves stuck in the cycle of EAT > REGAIN > FEEL BAD > EAT > REPEAT. It seems like we will never learn conquer food cravings.

So how do we break free from this cycle forever? Why is it so hard to maintain a healthy relationship with food? I have been pondering this very thing for months.

Hi friends!

You may have noticed that our web address is changing from BetterBeeDaily.com to BariatricEats.com.

Over the past year, I have been deeply considering narrowing down my topic on Better Bee Daily. I believe this website has just been too broad.

We are Expecting a GIRL!

by bariadmin Leave a Comment

It’s been a rough past few months, and with all of the morning sickness and the aches and pains of pregnancy, I haven’t much wanted to update Better Bee Daily. Admittedly, I spent the time instead binge-watching shows like Gilmore Girls (for the second time), Fargo, and Making a Murderer. (Kind of sorry not sorry about that.)

Thankfully, I’m in my second trimester now, and the indifference I’ve had towards my website has finally subsided and I’m definitely anxious to get back to writing!

In fact, I’m excited to come back from my brief hiatus with an exciting announcement: After two wonderful, deeply loved boys, we are finally expecting our first GIRL!

We all have our off days when we are feeling anything but confident. And sometimes we can actually have off-years, am I right?

Believe it or not, but most people have to muster up courage every single day. Not only that, but we have to do it multiple times a day, including situations at work, scenarios of asking for things we need, many different social situation, and the scariest of all: making small talk with someone you hardly know. Social anxiety is crippling to many people, so if this describes you, know that you are not alone.

How to Quit Dieting by Eating Intuitively; Switch to Clean Eating the Easy Way!

by bariadmin Leave a Comment

(Note: This article is a part of our 31-day series, “31 Days to a Whole Body Makeover“.)

I was a junk food junkie my entire life. I was also on a diet since the age of nine. I know that sounds contradictory, but the yo-yo cycle of deprivation/starving yourself and then soon after, binging on the junk food, is what keeps the diet industry in business.

Everything sounds so enticing: Pills, wraps, creams, cleanses… but there simply is no “easy” way to lose weight. Even weight loss surgery has zero guarantee of working unless you stick to a strict low-carb diet and exercise program for the rest of your life. It may change your body, but it doesn’t change your brain, and people gain their weight back post-surgery all the time!

What if I told you that there is a way to break that diet cycle forever?

The Law of Attraction

Do you remember several years back a book came out all about the laws of attraction? It was called The Secret (disclaimer: I never read it) and it was fiercely popular, but at the same time, it was polarizing. On one end, countless people benefited so much by the philosophy that if you can imagine it, you can achieve it. Others were very critical of this book because they felt it was too “woo woo” and out there. I once heard someone say about it, “You can’t just imagine a new bike and then run to your garage and have it magically appear!” And that’s true, too!

Here’s the thing.

My fear in writing this article was that everyone would be like, “Oh great. Here we go with The Secret…. again!”

But the laws of attraction are not just a feel-good distraction that made for excellent fodder on Oprah.

Nope.

It is something that has been studied extensively by researchers in the field of psychology. It has been proven time and time again that YOU are who you decide to be. It is a choice. What you accomplish in your life is up to you. Even in the most dire circumstances, how you handle it is always still within your hands.
