Lol I don't like broccoli or asparagus etc, I like salads with cucumber and such. Celery is the devil.0 -

You can get them in a capsule if you do not like them as food.2 -

I'm debating on trying out this method too. Since hitting my goal by over 200% now, I relaxed my net carb number to around 25-30 (previously shot for under 20). But with the meter, I've been thinking of just playing it by ear now and going off the readings. It definitely sounds easier & it is, after all, what truly matters in all of this (at least in terms of being in ketosis).0 -

I do take a vitamin... Well I did. I'm scared to now because every time I take it I get like a half hour wave of intense nausea 1 -
I think there's a moral here somewhere.1

I can relate to this. I decided last August it might be prudent to take a multi-vitamin so did. I had a 2 week period of major digestive disturbance which is highly unusual for me. I kept looking through my diary to see what I could have been eating to cause this. Finally I had a bright "light bulb moment" and thought about the multi-vitamin. I quit taking it and within a day or so the problem was gone. Who'd a thunk? A multi-vitamin. A few months later, I noted the vitamin is scored so started breaking them in half and have no problem.
While it may not apply to all people and all multi-vitamins, I have read that it is best to NOT take them on an empty stomach. If you were doing that you might try taking it after you eat something.3 -

I was taking them right after I ate something and it still happened. Maybe I'll try cutting them in half. I was having flashbacks to early pregnancy with the nausea haha1 -
Hmm. Do vegetables make you sick or just wince?0

I find stuff that I consume that makes me feel sick needs to often just be tossed especially supplements. Our brains can tell us things about what to eat.1 -

Makes some leek and cauliflower soup. Chop up some leeks and some cauliflower, add to chicken bone broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat then and let simmer till both are very tender.
Blend in a food processor or use a hand blender til smooth. Top off with HWC when you serve it. Warning it is addictive.

My dad used to make an amazing Vichyssoise soup... of course that was also majorly potato, and was delicious hot, or preferably cold.... So that recipe is a great alternative, thanks!1 -

The wally world men's formula used to do that to me - I tossed them and switched to a higher quality brand and have never had the problem since... I think your body is trying to tell you something here.1 -
Just adding my experience that taking zinc made me wildly nauseous & read online that's common.1

I aim for 100g of protein and 50% of calories from fat, after that I'm not too fussed where my calories come from. In practice, my carbs are in the 50-100g range most days.
I've more or less eliminated refined sugars and cut back heavily on refined starches. Other carbs don't worry me too much.1 -

Sounds like a sensible approach to good health. Last night I had my first banana in going on three years and still blew a .036 on my breath anylizer this morning.
Keep up the great job.1 -
I usually eat around 50 carbs a day most days. Rare occasions I might have something high carb but I typically don't go over 100. When I was actively losing it was 30 or under.
