      I did not even think of the Taco Bell option, there is one as I go through my travels tonight. I had already grabbed some babybel cheese for a snack between meetings. Thanks for the ideas

      You bet man! Nice babybels are bomb.
      Safe travels,

      Day 4
      Net carbs: 33

      I've been feeling very weak running on ~10g a day, so I decided to increase carbs a bit today to see if it would help with energy levels during workout. Feeling much better, so I will aim for 20g tmrw to see if that will work as a happy medium.

      49g net carbs---for a Friday not too bad. Stinks cause I have to eat dried prunes (I only had 4) so that my digestion is good but it adds so many carbs. I'll have to go back to 2 a day.

      Checking in - Hope everyone is feeling great and looking forward to a fun ( keto friendly!) weekend :)
      Still no weight loss ( gained then lost 1lb over the last two days) but I'm feeling great and really think I'm hitting the "fat adapted" stage (?) as I'm NOT HUNGRY. So weird for me!! I came in under calories today and didn't even realize it! I have never stuck with something that "didn't work" for this long but, I am confident some losses are just around the corner for this cranky old body!

      980 cals
      7 net carbs.

      Maybe that is just the way of it at this point? We deal with the water weight and then have to push while we wait for the body to burn the actual fat? How are you dealing with the keto flu?

      I've been reading a lot on Reddit keto groups ( they are another great resource) and there is a lot of info about how important keeping up electrolytes are - that I hadn't been doing. Bought some "Lite" salt today for the potassium and am going to really amp up supplementing with that, sodium and magnesium. Are you keeping that kind of thing up? I'm also trying to drink more water. Not a big water person but going to set timers on my phone tomorrow. Hang in there!

      Day 5

      Net carbs 46, 1010 cal and that was because I had eaten only 548 calories and was missing out on nutrients. Otherwise, I would have been at 23 net carbs. I ended up eating eggs and some honey roasted pecans.

      Thanks for the kindness and support after the loss of my friend. It means a lot to me!

      I was able to pull myself back after my carb binge, and kept my carbs ultra low.
      Total carbs for Friday: 3g

      Today I plan to increase my carb count a bit and include a few more veggies.

      Thank you! I had a horrible panic attack and had a carpal spasm in my left hand due to hyperventilating. I couldn't move my thumb or fingers. My hubby thought I was having a stroke so, off to the ER we went! Thank goodness that's all it was!

      My struggle has always been eating enough protein -- 120 gr -- and drinking more than 8 glasses of water. That is what I am concentrating on this weekend.

      Are you sure about that protein number? True keto is high fat, moderate protein, low carb. My percentage breakdown (everyone's different) is 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carb, so my protein is under 100 grams per day.

      That sounds terrible! I recently bought a new tracker, called Spire. It tracks your breathing and really makes you aware of tension. That has helped me a lot to stay calm. Take good care of yourself!

      Part 1. Fasted for 19 hrs on nothing more than a bullet coffee and a shot of super greens. Was studying all day felt groovy didn't even notice not eating. I was in the zone.

      Part 2. Dinning out for the first time. Went for Mexican steak fajita obviously no tortilla hold the beans and rice. Went heavy on the guacamole was soooo good. Couldn't resist a sip of sangria left more than half a glass behind.

      Total cal. 1370
      Net carbs. 22g

      Hi everyone,

      Hope I'm not too late to start. I just started yesterday and this is my first time doing a ketogenic diet. My starting weight is 144 and it would be awesome to lose 10 pounds this month. My daily calorie goal is 1500 and my net carb goal is 20.

      Yesterday total carbs 19, net carbs 1.

      What kind of exercise is everyone doing along with this?

      Good luck :)

      Look up "wooshes" - in a nutshell, some people when they start to lose weight, their body doesn't believe it, so instead of emptying fat cells, they fill up with water and wait for whatever is causing the fuel drop to pass. Eventually the body gets a clue and empties out all the water at once and you get a huge drop. I've had that pattern before - maintain for a month and drop 7 or more pounds seemingly out of nowhere. Could be that's what's happening with you too.

      How about having a Carb Up day one day every two weeks or maybe even a week? Meaning you have a cheat day to throw your metabolism up, I saw a video on it, this super keto guy did that while doing a cut!

      Also, are you eating at a calorie deficit?
