For a sweet tooth you can fry a LC wrap until crispy (doesn’t take long) and top it with a sugar substitute/cinnamon mixture and it’s so delicious.

Thank you, Carol! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. :) It blesses me!

I’d love to see breakfast ideas for non egg lovers.

I appreciate all of these kinds of videos. I don't do Facebook.

I've been on and off (and being run over by) the THM wagon for over a year. This is so helpful. It seems so easy i theory, but my mind over complicates it. Thanks for the ideas!

Thank you so very much for sharing. So appreciate you explaining what to combine with cheese to keep it FP or change to S or E. Very easy to understand. I live overseas and have a difficult time finding sone of the frankenfoods many people grab for snacks. Thank you for sharing fresh fruit and veggies and what fuel combination to do. 🥰😎

Wonderful tips! So needed to hear that about the heavy A snack. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for all these ideas I am new and still am having troubles getting started and these I think might help me to still learn more!

Thank you so much! I've lost 40 pounds on THM so far since May 2018, and noticed the weight loss has stalled a bit. I must confess I've gotten a little too comfortable with using heavy cream or cottage cheese or nonfat greek yogurt in desserts/snacks every day. I appreciate the alternatives you suggested and will begin incorporating them immediately. Thanks for taking the time to share your helpful tips.

I just discovered your videos and I'm loving them. Ive been in a bad habit of doing heavy s eating all day. It's easy and cheap and very satisfying but I'm now up 20 pounds. I'll be watching your videos to get myself back on track. Thank you for making these!

Thanks for keeping it simple!!! Love the ideas!

Tillamock cheese is the bomb! We do the extra sharp white cheddar ;). Washington stater tillamock is just a hop away from me! Great tips! Thanks for sharing. Just hoping back on plan. Ready to start eating healthy and feeding my family heathy!

so helpful thank you! i love lily chocolates too ❤️ so many good tips and been on it for 4 too going on 5 weeks as a beginner so helpful!!🤗❤️

super helpful. Thanks! love how you explain which kinds of snacks are best when. :)

Thank you! I am new and so appreciate your great ideas! 😊

Thanks for sharing! Great tips!!

Thanks for the tips!

Thank you soooooo much. God bless you

I like the fruit and string cheese E-Snack.

One more thing, I went off the plan, but I would hold onto continuing to eat the greek yogurt with the berries. Now I am trying to get back on plan and hearing about the dairy is extremely helpful. I love your delivery style, you help me to "get it" where it wasn't sinking in before!

This was very helpful for me! Thanks!

Marissa, so much fun to see you here. Just getting started on this whole THM thing. Little confusing right now, but I keep hearing the more you work with it the easier it gets. Been at it for 2 weeks and already feeling better. I will keep an eye on your videos. What fun to see my friend on KZread!!

Especially love hearing your tips for what worked in getting the scale moving.!

Believe it or not, I have spinach sandwiches! I'll put the peanut butter on the low carb tortilla, and top with spinach leaves and roll it up. I have my kids talked into whole wheat/peanut butter/spinach leaves sandwiches. Try it, it's a great way to sneak a vegetable in!

Ah, you've inspired me!

All of these snacks sound amazing- I am new and just checking out this style of eating- not sure if it is for me- but I do like a balanced approach to eating!

This is so helpful! Thank you!

I am new to THM and your vids are super helpful, thank you and blessings sis! :-)

Good ideas! It's interesting about the brown rice crackers, when I first started I ate the Wasa Crackers (it was one in S, I think) but I haven't had those in quite a while because I can not seem to find them anymore. I wonder if I made sure to get the 10 carbs in the S meals that would help... Something to think about anyway. I get in a rut of eating the same things. We have also been following S dinner with S dessert and could probably lighten that up, too. Thanks for the inspiration!

So helpful!! Love the easy ideas, & especially the tips about keeping blood sugar steady (I sometimes get a little tired & shaky from pure S snacks), and having a fuel pull or lights e at night, & enjoying the yummy S for afternoon snack! Totally trying that!

Just found your channel and it will be very helpful to me. I did THM a few years ago and had some success but not as much as I had hoped. Hoping this time around I can lose twenty pounds. 🤞

Thanks Marissa so much

How are you doing on the plan? Any new snack ideas? just getting started. Thanks, great video!

Someone needs to come up with a THM timtam recipe. That is the one treat I am going to miss a lot.

Michiganders!!!

I just came across your channel and am loving your content! I post some THM videos on my channel and love seeing others' perspectives on the recipes and how they make THM work in their lives 😊 Is the "little Debbie brownie" one from any of the cookbooks? I looked through all of them but didn't see a recipe for them. Little Debbie brownies used to be my downfall as I was growing up and I'd love to have a recipe for nostalgia. Also, we lived in Anchorage back in 2014-2015! We're in Wisconsin now, but nothing beats those Alaskan sunrises and sunsets! Thanks for sharing and I'm going to check out the rest of your content when my kids go to bed 🤗

What brand LC do you use?

Also what helps you decide to eat a s or e meal or snack? Can you eat all e or all s in a day?

@MarissasKitchen

6 жыл бұрын

I sometimes base my snacks on my next meal. That way, if I get hungry before the 3 hr mark, I can go ahead and eat (2 1/2 hours apart is fine if you aren't changing the meal type). For instance, if I'm having an S dinner, I'll often have an S snack in the afternoon. Sometimes I base it on how my body feels. If I feel sluggish, there's a good chance I've been having too many S meals and snacks. In that case, I'll have an E snack but then make sure to wait 3 hrs until my next meal. If it's a day where lunch is late and it's only five hours until dinner, I'll have a FP snack in the middle of the five hours.

Ditto for me - can't have heavy S desserts after dinner.

Hi thank you for this video I am just starting out and I am a drive through Sue this helps a lot. I just have 2 questions Lilly's chocolate gives me an upset stomach and most anything with alcohol sugars seems to bother me. I have tried the THM gentle sweet with no luck. Do you have any suggestions on other chocolate? Also before starting THM I have always bought Light & fit greek yogurt, Oikos seems to both my stomach. Do you know if Light & fit is on plan? It is low carb.

@MarissasKitchen

Hmm...I wonder if the THM chocolate chips would bother your stomach since the Gentle sweet does? Ghirardelli and Lindt carry an 85% dark chocolate, if you can handle really dark chocolate. I will eat that by itself sometimes. I have melted it down and added sweetener to it before. If you find an on plan sweetener that doesn't bother your stomach, that might be an option.

Where can I find your little Debbie brownie recipe?

Hello from Michigan. Thank you for the information! Still very new to THM eating. Silly question, what do you do when you're sick with say the stomach flu? I tend to want chicken broth and saltines. Is there an alternative you found?

The chocolate chips don't count for an E unless you eat a very small amount. I'd have to look at the package to see how much.

I bought the book, and the cookbook. I get the jest but once I look at the recipes, they seem like a lot of ingredients. I also wonder how far away the meals and snacks are. Wouldn’t having so many meals and snacks close together like every four hours is that enough time for the body to actually burn what is on the body? The stored fat?

@MarissasKitchen

4 жыл бұрын

Great question! Three to four hours is their recommended time between meals and snacks. Sometimes 2 1/2 hrs if you're not switching fuels. I space mine like this: 8:00am breakfast 11:00 lunch 2:30 pm snack 5:30pm dinner 8:30pm snack OR 7:30am breakfast 10:30am snack 1pm lunch of the same meal type as your last snack or FP 4pm snack 6:30pm dinner of the same meal type as your last snack or FP 9pm snack (I always have a snack before bed for blood sugar reasons)

Hi Carrie! Welcome to doing THM!! Where in Alaska are you? I think there might be a few ladies in Wasilla that meet occasionally but I don't know that for sure. There isn't a group in Anchorage, although my friend Kelly and I have thought about starting one. :) There's a THM Alaska FB group that is helpful as well. Not a super active group but sometimes people post sales that are happening at Natural Pantry or other stores.
