Headed to the neurologist this week. I get to tell him I've gone nearly 4 weeks with no traces of headaches, tremors, or seizures. Bonus: I've lost 14 lbs. A quiet brain makes for a happy Kimbo! Why didn't I do this sooner?0

I think that's a question we all ask... Honestly, this WOE seems so restrictive for a carbivore... We get so hooked on sugar, and we think it makes us feel good, giving it up makes us feel like 3-4 year old children throwing tantrums. And before I found MFP and these groups, I never knew the real truth of the difference it could make - or that it was truly possible FOR ME...0 -

That's amazing! For me, since my only motivation for doing Keto right now is weight loss, I'm having a tougher time staying consistent. I'm hoping that sticking around and seeing others' success will eventually make me want my own bad enough to do the work for myself.0 -

For a long time we don't know. After all, we're constantly told a calorie is a calorie and the brain needs glucose and HealthyWholeGrains. I did a million diets since I was a teen. I did a 70s version of WW that was pretty much Atkins. I was very successful on it my senior year in high school. But in college, the sugar won out and I ended up even fatter. Obese even. Eventually, I ended up with gestational diabetes with my 4th child. It wasn't cured after the birth and I kindof stumbled onto keto. I knew then. But my addict brain, my food-demon, my Loki, kept at me, telling me I HAD TO have my sugar. By the bagful. So when the dr said my A1c was normal and I was "cured of diabetes," I followed my little addict and ate my way back up to 260lb. I KNEW, but I didn't want to hear it.
It took my mother nearly dying from complications to an entirely preventable disease, diabetes. I got a clear smack in the face showing me which path I was hurtling down. At that point I was able to admit and internalize what I knew, "I can't eat sugar and starches." I grieved. It was like losing a loved one. But I did it. I commited to it. Every day I reminded myself "you see what's happening? This is because of what you AREN'T eating! That *kitten* makes you fat and sick. STOP IT!"
Now I'm maintaining a 102ish lb weight loss. After consistently making good little decisions multiple times a day. Little steps on the right path every day for over a year.
It only took me 17 years to figure it all out accept what I already knew, but didn't want to believe...

Wow ! Well said !!! Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in trying to lose x amount of pounds by such and such date, or she did it in 4 months, why aren't I ? And then I read your post and realize there is a way bigger picture out there with this WOE. And it is about making good decisions multiple times a day....I just needed to hear that from someone else !!!0 -
I was out of town this past weekend, and this was my first real test with eating out. I'm happy to say I didn't do too bad. I track every day, but the restaurants we went to did not have nutritional info for their menus so I had to go pretty generic with my logging. My weight was pretty much the same when I came home from when I left, so I considered that a Win.0

Def a win. They sneak carbs in everything.

Boy that is the truth ! I was pretty excited to see scrambled eggs on the breakfast buffet, and dug right in. It wasn't till later did I remember that most restaurants add pancake mix to their eggs to make them fluffier !baconslave wrote: »I was out of town this past weekend, and this was my first real test with eating out.

I'm inordinately pissed right now. I finally got my weight back down to goal. Almost. I was at 150.2 yesterday. Today I was 153.8lb. I'm doing my alternate day fasting protocol. I've been working really hard. It's just frustrating. I was hoping my weight would reach 150 and stay so this week would be the last of the fasting so I could resume my recomp. I've been so perfect. My body is a jerk.
Enormous sigh in progress...oh well KCKO.

Yeah, I'm currently losing, but I'm losing the ABOVE LAST YEAR'S STARTING POINT LEVELS.
So it so does not feel like it counts. Like AT ALL.
I started LCHF last year at 262. Got down to a low of 239 or so - in MARCH.
Three days again I was 265.4 or something. I've gone back up 1.5 pants sizes. I was on track, then out of nowhere, spiraled to insanity levels Friday through Sunday. Doing better so far, but damn, really? Do I hate myself that much? Or WTEF????

@baconslave! I hate the scale! Even though I know this will happen, despite remaining on plan..., it doesn't get easier! The mind game is hard!! I believe the majority of us understand completely! I also feel that a good rant about it is definitely warranted to feel better! KCKO!! 0

. Yes, just be wary of everything, and if possible ask the right questions on how things are prepared. I will be traveling for work very shortly, and will be on the road for about 3 weeks. I'm nervous that I won't be able to hang in there with this WOE. This weekend was good practice. One thing I found that help me maintain was my butter/coffee in the mornings and eating only once or twice a day. And I definately will need to hit the hotel gym I think . Eating out was fairly easy as there was steak or kabobs on the menu...but the basic sand which place gave me anxiety!!! It's hard when you don't want to draw attention to yourself when ordering in a big group....or interrugate the server on every little detail!! It will be interesting month for sure !!! I hope your travels go well too!!!

I do indeed know. That last 20lb is no joke. It can be hard to lose. And frustrating because you've come so far, and now you have to work even harder.
Stick with it though. You'll get there.0 -

In particular, many restaurants add it (pancake batter) to omelettes, too, to add "fluffiness." Most places will allow requests for "fresh cracked" selections, but a buffet is not easy to do that. I'd probably stick to hard boiled eggs and meats on a buffet if the eggs looked fluffy/different than when I make them at home.0 -
I skipped out of my neurologist's office today! No more botox shots to the back of my neck for tremors! No more appointments with him for tremors at all! He smiled, and said to keep him posted, log and all, because he may need to write up a study! I'm all exclamation points today!!! It's true validation for what keto is capable of.

Anyone here use the salt pills to help with getting enough sodium? Just curious because I finally broke down to do that since I'd been having weird exhaustion slumps mid-morning since adjusting my wake-up times and readapting after the holidays. I took one last night and got what i'd call a "keto buzz" for lack of a better term. It also made me burp a lot... I was wondering if anyone had that experience. I did not take it with food, and ate dinner about an hour later. Took one this morning, but too early to tell yet.0

On the road for three weeks does sound like a challenge - but you can do it! I just started reading (well, actually, listening to because I got it on Audible) to this book called The Thin Woman's Brain and it's really interesting. It's focused on neural networks and how to use cognitive behavioral therapy to 're-wire' your thinking. There's a lot about dopamine and science behind why we compulsively binge (which is my issue).
At the very least, just listening every day on my way to work is helping me stay focused. Maybe you could find some inspiration to put on your phone and listen to while you're traveling?

Are you comfortable sharing what kind of tremors you have? I'm asking because my partner has them (genetic and I can't remember now what they're called) and he's on medications that don't work very well...I'm wondering if I should make him Keto? He's a sugar burner for sure but still very lean.
Also, what ratio are you following and how long before you saw results? If you're okay sharing but don't want to post here, feel free to PM me. I'm also not offended if you totally ignore this question because it is kind of personal.

Yeah, let us know when you finish the book if it's worth a listen. I don't have Audible, but I can look on OverDrive etc. for the PDF book or the audiobook, too...0 -

I think this kind of thing here is the reason I absolutely LOVE MFP's groups. This kind of knowledgeshare is why the world is changing!!! And @JodiSW Nutritional Ketosis was originally started as a dietary plan to control seizures, so it would likely help most tremor patients, too.0 -

It may be something in the supplement that's giving you the burps. Is it a capsule or a tablet?
I just mix my ketoade. 15 sec to make, 15 to chug. NO burps. And there is a full 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of NuSalt. So it's probably an additive that makes up the pill that's making that happen. Of course I can, no joke, gulp 12-16oz of liquid in 15 sec. It was funny to freak out my girlfriends back in the pre-LC days chugging a stein of beer in public. 0
