    I've been keto about 6 months, it might feel a bit tough at first but it does get a lot easier. the main thing during the first few weeks, especially the first few days is to make sure you have your electrolytes otherwise you'll suffer from what is known as keto flu. If you top up your electrolytes you'll probably be able to avoid it.

    During the first couple of weeks you may find it difficult as well because you will be craving carbs it says if your body is trying to persuade you to eat more as it wants to refill your glycogen stores, but that also goes away after about 2 weeks.

    Be careful counting carb, they are everywhere. Personally I have found easier without trying to make substitute food, such as keto bread, is not always very useful and made me miss the original. I much prefer finding fluid return like which are keto friendly. If you want to use a sweetener that is keto friendly one of the best is
    Erythritol, it has 0 calories and also does not have any impact on insulin. If you want any recipes for ideas on things that you can eat just let me know and I'll try and point you in the right direction.

    I've read about Keto flu and know about using salt and other electrolytes. I also agree that doing substitute food isn't where I want to go with this way of eating. Weight Watchers was all about that and I really want to go off of artificial sugars as much as possible. I'm now able to drink my coffee black and I like plain green tea. I found some sparkling water from Trader Joes that don't use artificial sugars that I love. I've been on the Diet Doctor website which has lots of great info and recipes. Tonight, I made Keto pizza casserole and a wonderful green salad with real blue cheese dressing. I'm way too full and need to learn portion control! :D Yes, to any recipes ideas you can point me too would be greatly appreciated. <3

    Thanks everyone for keeping the awesome conversation going! I’m back from my weekend at home and just need a day to rest and get my life organized again.

    @jactop - do you need some steps from me?
    Yes. That would be great. Steps and exercise minutes starting Sunday

    @tess5036 did you post steps and exercise for Sunday or did I mix them up with another day?

    It is time at last for the BASEBALL Most Valuable Player Awards

    At last the decisions are in - and each team has one player who has racked up the highest number of bases, who was there every day making sure the team succeeds, and who clearly showed the spirit and commitment that gets everyone standing up and cheering.

    The Mission Slimpossibles MVP for the first week of baseball is @Fitgirllife72
    WAY TO GO! You have been amazing and the whole team thanks you.

    Stevia is a good sweetener as well.
    Fat head dough is a good recipe. You can Google it.

    Well that is what a long weekend of flying across the country, sitting for hours and not tracking will do!! The good thing is my clothes don’t feel any different so I believe this will come off quick(ish).

    Goals for today:
    1. Walk at lunch - need to get moving
    2. Drink 100oz of water - and track it
    3. Stick to the meal plan I made last night

    Wednesday check-in - my scales worked briefly last night as I was going to bed. Then, this morning - nothing!

    Calories - over
    Water ok
    Exercise - 10 minutes HIIT and 10328 steps.

    PS - I think it's that time where I crave more food, which would be fine, but with Easter coming up, as the hungry feelings subside, I do have social food issues to contend with. Not knowing my losses/gains this week is driving me crazy.
