    Sorry you got shamed! Boo to that! I think it would benefit if you read a book like the , The New Atkins for You. I think its a good foundation to start with. Berries are low in carbs so as far a fruit, they are better to eat than say pineapples. Have you done a macro calculator yet? that will help with setting goals for fat, protein, carbs. I think we all need a blueprint to follow and work it out from there. Hope this helps!

    I think the list looks just fine. There's a few things on there I choose not to eat like alligator, reindeer and snake (and other's in the meat/organ category) but the berries? If you can fit them into your personal carb allowance, go for it!

    I'm pretty hard core when it comes to sugars and I'll even eat berries sometimes.
    I just don't eat a whole bunch of them. That's what works for me.

    BC Powder might be an option?? I've never used it, but know many who swear by it.

    That is straight aspirin. Keep in mind aspirin especially in powder form taken to often can cause ulcers and thin the blood.

    Everyone's ignoring what you said - LIQUID TYLENOL. Liquid medications are always sweetened so they don't taste like crap going down. There's a LOT of sugar in them which yes, knocked you out of ketosis. Liquid Nyquil and Dayquil are also repeat offenders. It doesn't help that the bottles don't show nutrition information and only list medical ingredients.

    As far as your keto headache, increasing sodium helps, but if you feel you need Tylenol stick with pill form only. Make sure to check this guide and make sure you're getting enough sodium, potassium and magnesium. https://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq#wiki_adapting_to_a_low_carb_lifestyle

    Fixing the cause of the headache is what's needed, which prevents the need for the Tylenol in the first place. I don't believe anything was being ignored. :blush:

    So, I was want shamed on here for eating starving Aries, raspberries and BlackBerries. This is why I am so confused as to what to eat what not to eat and so forth. I am including a link that I have found. Please let me know if I'm all wet or not http://pin.it/n1GXn7B

    Eating berries is a personal choice. If they fit your macros, and don't cause problems (cravings from the sugar, or headaches) then go for it! No shaming for this! :smiley: Being confused at first isn't unusual! This is a whole, new way of looking at food choices. We were all confused in the beginning :smile:

    Thank y'all. I am still a work in progress.

    Even after a year and a half I'm still a work in progress! No one ever learns it all! Hugs for you for committing to yourself!

    @KnitOrMiss , you have a unique ability to offer advice that rocks! You should write, and submit to publishers with this ability! @Sunny_Bunny_ too! :blush:

    And yes, always be careful with aspirin, and ibuprofen products! They have the side effects of ulcers, and blood thinning ability, that can be harmful for some people (like me!)! :smile:
