Thanks! This pound cake truly was “heavenly” and a huge hit at my house. I used lemon zest instead of lemon extract and it came out absolutely divine.

I love this recipe its so quick and easy and delicious! It was the first baking I tried having gone low carb, and since November I have made this cake quite a few times. It has surprised all the skeptics of grain free baking that I have served it to; they always want more! I also found it works well with raspberries and xylitol swaps easily with splenda. Great recipes

I made the heavenly blue berry lemon pound cake for 5 year old grandson that lives with me I did make it in the muffin tin , he has just gone on a gluten diary free diet. I must say it is the best tasty cake I have made for him yet, he loves it , I made it in the muffin tin so it would be easy to pack for school. Thank you for great recipe. Gluten free and diary food just cost to much to buy in the shops way over my budget.

Comment on How can I lose post-baby belly fat/this stubborn pooch? by Melissa

I had my firstborn 11 months ago. I eat mostly vegetables, protein and fruit, and was consistent with exercise, vitamins, etc. In addition, I’ve gone through medical school and have a doctorate in physical therapy, so I have some training in the body and its workings.
I am 5’5″ and have hovered around 115lb for the last 15 years. I gained 30 lbs with my pregnancy, with a very healthy diet, not prone to overeating or snacking. My baby was 2 weeks late, 10 lbs, and was delivered by emergency cesarean. I breastfed, and everyone told me the weight would magically drop off. Plus, I’ve never had to work incredibly hard to stay thin. I run 2-3 times a week normally, and have a physically demanding job.

I didn’t work immediately after baby. I worked out 1 hr (sometimes up to two hours), 5 days a week, in addition to breastfeeding a huge, hungry baby. I also wore a compression belly band given me at the hospital. With all of my effort, I was surprised when at two months, I would still wake up with my belly laying next to me, like a puppy. To sum up: I increased the intensity, cut out about 250 calories/day and lost 1 lb/month. It was so slow and depressing to me. But by about 8 months I was back in my jeans. It’s now month 11 post delivery and I can easily fit into my jeans, but I still have a tiny bit extra that was not there pre-baby, even though I am at my prepregnancy weight and fitness. My last straw is to cut out my glass of wine at night for a while to see if the belly will completely flatten.

Wow, some of the things you said resonated with me a lot. I constantly find myself rewarding with food. I’m going to stop this now. Looking forward to part 3.
