Just Started Keto. Is this normal.
Hi, My family (all adults) and I just started keto. We were really surprised at how many carbs were in things that we thought were healthy. Things like chickpeas, lentils, avocados, and even nuts. I struggled to try and lose weight for years. I counted calories, I exercised daily, I did everything. After cutting carbs for…

Ketosis
I was wondering... I do the 16:8 fast and still don't hit ketosis. I'm also under my calorie limit. So I was wondering what the best way to get into ketosis is? I have the keto sticks to measure.

Can we talk recipes?
Some of these keto apps and programs have the strangest meal plan recipes. Tofu, tuna scrambled eggs (gross), smoked salmon (expensive)… my brain just went blank, but I’ve seen some recipes calling for things I’ve never heard of and things I will never waste my money on. Where do you find decent recipes with normal…

The miracle noodles stall me completely, So does cheese. Im very vigilant staying under 30grms of carbs and 1200 calories.. So confused why I can't…

Pizza Day NSV
Tradition at the Feed Mill I work at is to order in pizza for all the workers before Christmas. Usually that is the last working day so usually the 24th, or this year the 22nd since we are closed over the weekend. Since I booked the 22nd off, they decided to get the pizza today. I was originally just going to skip it, but…

Keto Egg Roll in a Bowl
I had a 1 pound package of coleslaw mix that I needed to use, and the left overs from a 9 pound pork picnic (shoulder) roast. I decided to rework the Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe using the cooked picnic roast. It turned out amazing. Once of the things I enjoy about Keto is that once I got the hang of how to make recipes low…

I just got this...
Someone recommended this to me and I found a used copy for cheap. Some of the recipes look really good; I thought I'd make myself some nice keto treats for Halloween & the holidays coming up.

How dirty, lazy, and cheap are you?
There are people who do clean keto. They not only track and balance their macros, but all their micros. They don't touch seed oils, artificial sweeteners, or those processed low-carb snacks in the grocery stores. They eat real, grass-fed, grass-finished, organic ruminant meat and stick to Kerrygold's butter. If this is…

is anyone else using keto diet for inflammation?
I was recently diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) I started on prednisone which is a miracle and curse all in one. Has anyone found that inflammation is better on keto? I have been on keto for 7 weeks, lost 4 pounds which is ok considering prednisone messes up metabolism and causes water retention.

What is your biggest Keto NSV?
I can start. My biggest one is an amazing drop in my blood pressure. I was on 3 blood pressure medications and my blood pressure would generally be in the mid-120s over something between 85-95.
