I fought off a wicked craving for peanut butter that came out of nowhere last night! I don't mind pb but it's never been a cravable thing for me.
It definitely passed but I did have to employ some distractions so that I could stay a well behaved carnivore.
Omg. I almost posted this with a hilarious autocorrect issue.

Eat if you're hungry. Just make it a low carb food.
Nothing wrong with having a low carb food if you absolutely need it in order to keep your will strong enough to say no to the junk.
Great job on fighting the craving monster though!
I thought you all would get a giggle out of my typo.0 -
That is definitely a funny typo....A shaved carnivore would be a cold carnivore at this time of year I would think!

Great job staying the course! Dark chocolate should be ok. Just check the carb content! I find if I have a piece of 70% cacao the craving goes away. Make sure your fats are up for satiation too. Agree with sunny bunny, eat when you're hungry1 -

Yes! I absolutely eat more on my period. It's the only time I usually end up snacking. Salami and cheese does wonders!

My partner made this amazing keto fudge, and it's heaven (also pms here).
So much keto dessert you can fix if you have a few ingredients at hand, erythritol, really good cocoa (this matters, for mocha too, I got Dagoba when I ran out, also organic but it just wasn't as good as this one which is amazing http://amzn.to/2iS4kQ4. I do like dark chocolate), and butter, coconut oil etc.
Also good to have at hand coconut flour, almond flour, coconut flakes. I don't know if I could have stayed keto if I didn't figure out how to make my favorites and other sexy food keto. And this amazing thing! http://amzn.to/2jGD478
I add it to melt butter, and pumkin pie spice, and it's keto maple syrup!0 -
Thanks for your advice guys and awesome words... I'm coming to the end of this dark tunnel lol.
I made keto kolaches this morning:

Weigh-in day was to be yesterday but this is it;

What's your week 2 weight? Any progress. I also underestimated Keto. I need to set another goal weight.

Finally small progress on scale since Dec 23rd. First day of my cycle, so typical. Does the bloat continue to come off i wonder or is this it. So my post Christmas stray cost me over 20 days of progress. But, back on the wagon again. And I'm taking it easy, I have dessert, little wine, and delicious foods every day. I don't count calories but try to if. Though because of the fat I have when I get up and the amount I eat when I break the fast I don't think of reduces my calories much. Was planning to start going to the pool today but that will need to wait a few days.0

Look up fat bombs on youtube and/or Google. They will torpedo any cravings and give you a 'sweets' killer too.1 -

No change on the scale before my date weekend with my husband. There was drinks, snacks, and some food I could not control and did not wish to. Back on track tomorrow. My keto stix showed up via mail so I will play with those next week from motivation. I know they are less accurate the longer in keto but something to keep me moving early on will be awesome! Keep it up everyone!!0

Re the keto stix I've heard that but haven't found it to be true. I've been using them for 4 years, eating keto the whole time. I generally use one each day. Pink means I'm on track and in keto. If they're not pink you can bet the farm I've eaten something that has thrown me out. I don't worry about the depth of colour, that can depend on how hydrated you are and darker doesn't mean better.youngmomtaz wrote: »No change on the scale before my date weekend with my husband.
