I think this is the worst I have done in 16 days! Got stressed I've daughter having surgery tomorrow. It should go ok. Still... I grabbed a protein bar and I didn't even pay attention to the packaging or I would have seen it had 25 carbs - sigh. Tomorrow will be better!3 -

Found a way to use my protein powder that's carb heavy by loading it with flaxseed meal adds calories but I can work with that.3 -
Total 45 carbs net 32... Was a hectic day yesterday, all those carbs were from veggies so that can't be too bad. I'll find out what the scale is saying tomorrow3

Check out the Isopure Zero Carb Protein. I love the banana cream flavor when I buy the powder, if you get the premade stuff they have a couple different fruit punch type flavors that even have that more sports drink texture as opposed to shake type texture.

So I had an awful day. TMI ALERT.
I didn't tell you guys but I had a surgery last Tuesday and I was put under anesthesia and have been taking meds daily. Well in addition to that AND keto diet my digestion has completely been blocked off. So today I have literally eaten less than 250 cals 31 net carbs and not eating anymore cause I feel like throwing up just the thought of food. I have not gone properly to the bathroom for 6 days now and have massive migraines. I've been taking a lax since yesterday with nothing helping.
Anyone else suffering from not going to the bathroom??
I hope that your surgery went well... I notice if I am not eating enough good leafy greens like spinach things slow way down, that and way up the water intake.3 -
Yesterday:
Total: 36
Net: 24
Scale is heading the right direction again, thank goodness3 -

We may have different goals, but this looks great to me!

Is anyone dealing with nausea? I've had it since Friday. It's just a constant thing that doesn't go away.
Sometimes I have mild nausea, and basically no appetite. It normally goes away for me after a few days. When it happens, I just upped my water, and try to eat whatever I can (for me, tends to be avocado, some nuts, etc. meat tends to be one of those things I cannot eat while nauseous). I hope you feel better soon!

My recommendation would be to add more avocado to your diet, because it has a fair amount of dietary fiber. If you are like me, and don't have issues with a lot of fiber, I would recommend making a Chia seed putting or something of that sort. Chia seeds are high in protein and fat and while they may appear high in carbs, they are pretty much all fiber. You can soak Chia seeds in heavy whipping cream, almond milk, or whatever you want, and they turn into a tapioca-like consistency in an hour or two.
I do 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk, half a cup of heavy whipping cream, a little vanilla extract and a little cinnamon, and a third of a cup of Chia seeds. I stir it all together and let it sit in my fridge for an hour or two, stirring occasionally. I eat it with blueberries and walnuts or almonds (both of which are great sources of fiber).
Other options are obviously leafy greens, broccoli, green beans, and other similar vegetables.2 -
Looks like I'm going to go way under on my fat today - like 75 grams under. The only way around it is to eat some extra protein.0

I just stumbled upon this thread! I'm late but I'm going to join. I started doing LC/HF on Monday. My goal is 40g and I would like to lose 8lbs in the next 30 days.2

Thank you both for your suggestions! Will definitely try them.

Ended up with 22 carbs, which is right on target. Can't wait until I've lost enough weight for my daily calorie goal to drop my carb goal to 20.
However, I'm currently 47 under my fat goal and 16 over my protein goal. Unless I take a couple of shots of olive oil I'm going to be out of whack for today. Oh well, life happens, and it was yummy.1 -

Yup, same struggle here. I started taking chia seeds yesterday to try and increase my fibre so hopefully that helps. I'm also going to try and eat more celery. Hope you feel better soon:)

nooo! Fat is not a "Goal", it's a limit!
NEVER "eat more fat just to get more in"
Protein is a REQUIREMENT
Carb is a LIMIT
Fat is a FILLER
You only need to hit your protein number. Hit it (and going over is ok too, just no benefit to going extreme)
Don't go over your carb LIMIT
Then the rest to fat should only be to keep you satiated! If you are not hungry, don't eat!
If you are following a ketogenic diet, every fat gram you eat is fat your not burning from your body instead.1 -
