When you cook with coconut oil, use coconut oil in your hair, on your skin, in your coffee and in cakes. Then scour the LCD board to see if any members uses coconut oil for anything else. Instead You find pictures of members licking salt lamps and immediately want one too!13

Heavy whipping cream, AKA the nectar of the gods.1

The best part of oil pulling for those of us who are LCHF is we can just swallow the oil after swishing to up our fat intake.3 -

Supposedly oil pulling removes the bad bacteria from your mouth so you are supposed to spit it out. I've used sesame oil when I've done it which I think tastes the best.1 -
When you save your carbs for those packets of sweetener and creamer for the coffee I can't live without... lol1

While sipping on a Lemon Drop cocktail as you are ordering Chicken Saltimbocca and tell her to hold the fetticine, please remove the bread from the table; the waitress's face is priceless.3

When you are bored so look through weird MFP food entries, come across seamen and immediately google the nutritional information as you're convinced the carb count is incorrect!2

when your wife is irritated at how many shirts you have ruined with grease stains.3

Getting excited when seeing food choices including 1/4 pound bacon on a stick and a giant dill pickle on a stick at an amusement park. BTW, the giant dill pickle was delicious and a perfect choice for a hot and muggy day!4

We never get those in the UK! Yum!0

When you can go out to a steakhouse restaurant, eat 1/4 of what you would normally eat, stay in your low carb range, enjoy the food more, and come out feeling full! Best Anniversary dinner yet! The hubbie who "helped" by eating what I was not, came out feeling overfull and had indigestion that night...6

@cstehansen - add a small drop of Dawn or other degreasing soap on the grease marks on the shirts, EVEN AFTER DRYING (though if dried, you may have to spray with WD-40 first to break it up), use a laundry brush to work the soap in, then launder as normal...or if the load is full of these shirts, you may need to rinse slightly first...
Go ahead, ask me how I know. 7 -
I think I have lost the plot, I am at the supermarket shopping for cat food. I catch myself reading the ingredients of various cat food and thinking that various brands must have way too many carbs. Looks like the cat is going keto.....12

- You own multiple flavors of sugar free syrup
- You keep almonds, dark chocolate and beef jerky in your night stand
- You buy almonds in 1lb bags
- You know what malitol is and run in the opposite direction of anything containing it. Might even have flashbacks of horrific experiences.
- You know that almond milk is just as good a source of calcium than milk is (actually, better!)
- You have an extremely specific and confusing Starbucks order that no one is going to be able to order for you in the office, even if you write it all down (No classic! Extra heavy whipping cream!)
- You have the "net carbs" addon for MFP/Chrome
- Caveman makes you think of delicious LC recipes rather than an actual caveman
- You expect an office get together involving food to turn into temptation challenge 2016 (damn doughnuts!)
** you have to explain your Starbucks order to your bestie who then orders her chai latte thinking it must be low carb too (eye roll) ~ 65gm carbs later, she's sad and I'm on a coffee bzzzzzzzzzzz1 -

Yum! Have you tried making the keto cheetos? Perfect for nachos.0 -
Cut out the "calories", and this sums it up.
Also, "Did you pee on a stick?" becomes a common household phrase... and it's not a pregnancy test for once.

- There are pepperoni sticks floating around in your purse, always
- You ask for extra pickles at restaurants
- You wonder about the carb count in your vitamin sprays
- You find yourself turning mealtime into a macro-balancing game
- You can't help but feel a lil smug when non-keto'ers deal with hanger/desperate hunger
- You wish so bad they would sell pickle juice without the pickles
- You wish so bad there was a yummy and easy electrolyte drink that you could buy
- You never pass a BBQ meat stand without at least skimming the menu 5 -

I definitely find myself wondering about the carb count in meds! It's frustrating cause most of them are impossible to track down. Supplements and vitamins, too.0 -
Your son's travel mug falls over into the butter and you grab it and lick it off before anyone can wipe it.6

Having people at the other table look at me funny when I use my finger to scoop out a couple of mini butter tubs (the kind for take-out muffins etc) and eat those straight before I tackle my Subway salad with the bacon, cheese, and avocado on it.3

I actually carry a small tablet of hand soap around in my handbag, in case either I or my Hubby accidentally waste precious, delicious fat by dropping it onto our clothes, as it's on its way to our mouths.
(What a waste!)
I immediately rub the fat mark with the soap (on both sides of the fabric - in and out) with the dry soap. Never use water on a fat mark. It diffuses it into the fabric and it's very difficult to remove completely, after that.
So don't be tempted to suck it out.
Let it go, there will be more fat, it's ok.3
