Magic Spoon the latest addition to our meal repertoire.
Okay, maybe it's not wholesome in the home cooked way... But this stuff is pretty freaking amazing, and based on the ingredients an argument could certainly be made that this stuff is actually pretty healthy and certainly low carb.

trouble eating all my calories
My TDEE minus 500 is 1971 but I have trouble eating more than 1300-1700 most days on Keto (been on keto since the 22nd of March and loving it:). Will it be a problem long term to eat lower calories in this range? or is it fine to just listen to my body and eat till I'm satisfied and when I'm hungry. I am losing weight and…

I am doing IF as well, 14/10 but may try…

March Mindfulness Challenge 2021
Life is...well....it's LIFE, isn't it? It can be good. It can also be busy, frantic, and sometimes, downright chaotic. We are pulled so many directions but so many situations and distractions.

Made it through my first 7 days! *sorry for the length*
I started low carb last Monday after being fed up of feeling out of shape, and having to start another around of knee injections and physical therapy.

Low LDL on Keto
Hi all Ive been on Keto about 2 years now and just recently had a blood test. I'm 60. My Triglycerides are 44, my HDL is 78, which looks like good numbers.But my LDL is only 89.

Hello group! Had anyone else experienced a nearly complete remission of GI problems since I switched to a low carb, high fat diet. It also curbs my appetite and THAT facilitates effortless weight loss. I spent 9 days last year hospitalized for severe GI problems. I’m off the carafate AND the protonix! Squeee
