    I am a coffee fanatic and I have two bullet proof coffees a day... I love it and it keeps me satisfied. I do mine this way: One cup of coffee (I use k-cups) 1tbsp of Kerrygold grass fed butter, one tbsp of heavy whipping cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp of coconut oil and torani sugar free syrup (I have chocolate right now) I blend this in my magic bullet and then pour it in to my to go mug! Super delicious!

    That will give you an idea of where your macros can be..

    I shoot for 5% carb, 72% fat, and 23% protein. The actual amount depends on my calorie consumption.

    I'm still having issues getting the hang of it even at 2 months. I've had to increase my carbs (only healthy ones) to keep me going as I started feeling horrible as my muscles began to break down. I like that I don't have to eat all day but depending on the day - I sometimes have to adjust my intake.

    Your muscles began to break down? The ketogenic diet is muscle sparing. Unless you were not getting adequate protein or you were literally starving..theres no way your muscles were breaking down.

    Maybe keto flu? Try upping your sodium. Chicken broth helped me get through the beginning when my body was adjusting. Pickles, too.

    Sounds like keto flu to me. Like blktngldhrt said, up your sodium intake, and also drink a ton of water. Broth does help alot!

    feel free to add me. i started this almost 4 weeks ago. no dramatic results (yet) but happy to be off sugar. that is pretty huge. can't say i don't wish the scale were moving more. i am thankful to share diaries for feedback and ideas.
