Since joining this forum a few months ago, I have managed to put on 20 lbs. and my wife is ready to have me committed for looking at food porn !!!!!!! For whatever reason, all the recipes I've found here I have to try, and for whatever reason she doesn't understand. She likes the food, but feels the need to give me grief anyway. Please keep up the good work..... I am still in awe by how much I've learned from all of you in a very short time. THANK YOU !!!!!!

My wife used to say to me: "I cook and bake all the time, you don't see me taking pictures of MY food" LOL

Now she doesn't even comment or roll her eyes, I just laugh!

She thinks I'm weird... whats up with that?

Relax. When you find her taking pictures of you taking pictures of your food, you will both be off the deep end.

I've lost 140 pounds and am currently at my goal weight of 185. Smoking meat has been a big part of that.

I started a KETO way of eating (extremely low carbs) last Dec 29 2016 @ 322 pounds. Just under 11 months later, with Lots of large, DECADENT salads, healthy fats, and MEAT..... I've saved my wife a few years of widowhood.

No sugar, processed carbs, etc...is a small price to pay for feeling like Superman almost all the time. I don't hurt ANYWHERE most days anymore...until late in the day...or sometimes not at all. No more meds, blood pressure or otherwise. My pants went from a snug 50" waist to comfortable 36's carrying IWB everyday. (In Waist Band) (Double Stack 9 Milimeter)

My smokers are important tools in my weight loss journey. And my oldest son, inspired by the success he's seen with my Way Of Eating has put his own family on the smoked meat, KETO train.

YMMV, but smoking meat hasn't hurt me in the least. Quite the opposite! When I walk into my Low Carb Friendly Clinic, I'm a superstar. My bloodwork makes them all giddy. (My HbA1C is 4.9.) Saturated Fat doesn't make you fat. We've been lied to for 50+ years.

The fatter my meat is, the better I like it. I don't trim, no no no. No bread, potatoes, sugar, refined carbs foods etc sounds hard. Trust me, it just Ain't. I get less than 10% of my calories from veggies, 25-ish from protein and 70-ish percent from HEALTHY Fats.

Try it! Just don't tell your old school doctor. Or most of your friends. Google KETO or LCHF and your world is about to change. (Not your smoking meat habit though.) (That just gets worse!) Get some bloodwork done first, and in a few months you will see. (LDL might go up for a while, but it is not the risk factor we've been led to believe, but its a long story....)

Sorry this got so long, but I'm passionate.

(Didn't mean to hijack this thread. I thought the title was pretty funny! It was just so ironic for me...well what's left of me anyways!!!)

Have a Happy, Healthy, SMOKEY New Year!

That's great Gary, we do have a lot of fun here don't we! Sharing what we make with others is a simple joy, even the fails turn out to be success's in the long run. ;)

My wife has started the KETO Diet and I love to Smoke. Only thing is a lot of my rubs used to contain brown sugar and I used to spray my meat with a Apple Sauce / Captain Morgan Mix. lots of Sugar. My question is have you found or can you share some rubs and sauces that you use so that I can start smoking again.
