    Hello all! I want to eat clean and low Carb/low sugar for 30 days. I would love to have people join me as we can motivate each other and keep each other accountable.
    Rules-
    -Eat less than 50g of carbs per day
    -Eat as clean as possible
    -Stevia allowed in small quantities (none better)
    -Drink water
    -stay under your caloric goal (varies from person to person)
    -You must fill out diary daily
    -Most importantly...you must POST here daily the grams of carbs eaten that day

    I would love to lose 10lbs. What's your goal?

    I hope I'm not too late. If not, I'm in! I want to lose 10 pounds! I just made my diary public in hopes of staying accountable. I typically carb cycle but would love to give Keto a shot for 30-days and see how I do! I'm so so excited. This is just what I was looking for! My first day will be tomorrow as I just found this challenge this evening.

    Welcome! It's not too late if u guys just post daily from here on our :) Best of luck!

    Hey everyone! I would love to join the challenge, I know I am a little late, I just noticed this on the forum. I will make my diary public, is that what I need to do? I would love to lose 8-10 lbs and get off the carb roller coaster :-)
    My goal is to keep the net carbs below 25g/day, total calories 1500, and stop eating within an hour of bedtime (this is the toughest for me, and I will work my way up to 3 hours before bedtime... baby steps!)
    Thank you for keeping me accountable and I look forward to motivating each other!

    Question - I'm desperate!!! I now have the stomach bug/virus/flu that my daughter went to the hospital for on Sunday. She had it from Thursday morning until Monday morning. What are some Keto foods that I can eat to soothe my stomach? Bananas, bread/toast and crackers were all my "go-to's" in my "prior life." This is the 3rd time I've had a stomach bug/virus/flu in the 3 years that I have been low carb and every time I give in to my old "go to's" to get by and can't get back on track easily. I need to make a change. I have Joseph's Pitas and Extreme Wellness low carb tortillas. They are 5-6 NET carbs each. I can go with that but would like to know of other lower carb options that aren't dairy or eggs... I am drinking water and diet ginger ale (I know, not the best choice but the water isn't tasting so great at the moment. The ginger ale is going down better and I need to hydrate as best as I can). I have Zevia ginger ale but can't stomach it right now. The after fast is killing me. I appreciate any and all suggestions! And so does my stomach!

    I'm sorry! That sounds rough. My only advice would be tea and bone broth or chicken stock.

    Would a simple chicken vegetable soup w/veggies like celery, onion, turnips, light carrots, kale, tomatoes, etc be an option? It might be higher carbs than normal, but would have a reasonable fiber amount, and would hopefully be soothing to the stomach while giving you a little more nutrition...

    If you are going to have bread, maybe make French toast so that you are at least getting some protein. My son used to eat French toast with butter/jam like regular toast, which would cut down on sugary syrup.

    Also, yogurt is good for digestion if you can stomach it. Maybe make a smoothie with a little bit of banana, berries, yogurt and either water or almond milk?

    I hope you feel better soon!



    Broth is the perfect thing to be drinking right now. While all the carb options might sound appetizing right now and I am sure you are sick of puking, it is OK to fast right now, even for a few days even! Just stay hydrated!

    Fasting really might be the best thing right now: https://authoritynutrition.com/can-fasting-fight-the-flu-or-cold/

    Make sure you stay hydrated and get your electrolytes. Stomach flu can lead to dehydration. Feel better soon!

    I won't lie, I went over the 50g carb max today. It was primarily due to having some cocktails with a friend, otherwise I would have been around my usual 20g. Instead I ended up at 60g for the day. I'm not getting too down about it bc I enjoyed myself, but next time I will be more vigilant about what mixers contains the least amount of carbs/sugars.

    29 Carbs and 21 Net.... pretty good day. I was able to get a good lifting session in after work and just relaxed for the evening after cooking up dinner. I did lose a pound this week, which is good I guess, I was not feeling like I was going to see any loss.

    Yeah stick with diet soda or seltzer waters as your mixer... never a bad thing to have a good time

    I had a very bad PTSD/anxiety ridden day yesterday. Couldn't stop crying, pacing, being under the sheets over my head. Anyway, it was a terrible day. Emotionally ate and went from 209.4 to 110.8. Just glad it was only a pound. Carb total: 142g.Scale should have been higher but God is always with me. Got me through yesterday, right?
