Nuts have carbs
Correction, when I doubled the recipe, each slice contained 4 gms of carbs, as compared to 23 gms/slice of the whole wheat I have for the family.
Have you made keto pizza yet? Soooo yummy!1 -

I don't have a gallbladder. Haven't had one in 10 years. This diet has actually STOPPED the diarrhea. I was told by doctors to stay away from fats, and I did. Had stomach issues the entire 10 years. Go on keto and poof.. gone. Hate the constipation though..
I had my gallbladder removed three years ago. I started keto anyway and due to slow digestion, I actually experience constipation, with pain on the right side, under the shoulder blade and up the right side of my neck and on super duper headache. Dr. Berg explains why this happens to people with no gall bladder. Anyway, based on his video, I bought ox bile, to help digest the fats. It worked like a charm.
If I have issues where I am not "going" as regular as I should, I take cascara segrada, an herbal laxative. It works too.1 -

ok but it says this about the cascara segrada-Do NOT use cascara sagrada if:
you are allergic to any ingredient in cascara sagrada.
you have appendicitis, rectal bleeding, or a history of stomach or intestinal problems (eg, blockage, inflammation, ulcers, Crohn disease, bleeding, severe constipation) and can cause liver issues.
you have had recent abdominal surgery. one would think a fiber supplement would be safer and more effective. But to each their own I guess0 -

I had Rx for Linzess, but I'm trying not to take meds. The MD said I had "slow digestion." Here's the deal, this is the same guy I waited to get an appointment with for six months! When I finally got to see him, he was abrupt and curt, wrote me a Rx for antibiotics, and told me he'd see me in 6 months. I asked if he was going to order tests to determine the cause for the "slow digestion" to which he answered no. This is also the same guy that told me I basically couldn't eat any food a normal person would consume, fruits vegetables, etc. but he didn't tell me what I could eat.
The bottom line is that I did the OPPOSITE of everything he said I should do and it's working.

ive not heard the phrase. I am always looking for lower carb recipes. I cant do keto due to my health issue. high amounts of fat could literally kill me.0 -
I put the preheat oven and bake for 12-14 min BEFORE the instructions.. don't bake it till AFTER the instructions are completed. Keto pancakes are also divine. 1/4 cream cheese and 4 eggs, some cinnamon, and alternative sweetener of your choice... add some berries! makes 5 pancakes. (More like crepes but .. eh)

Here's the bread recipe I used. The recipe as is makes a small loaf. Doubling it will make a 9x5; 20 slices.

KETO for 2 months and Keto for LIFE. The difference in how I feel is amazing. I follow Diet Doctor website, use a lot of their recipes. I check ketones every few days to see that I'm on the right tract. For me...it's a game changer. I've been able to cut in half my medications for arthritis, I notice a drastic difference in daily pain. I had a setback when my gallbladder became inflammed and I had to have it removed emergently (Keto hastened it's demise, I'm sure, but it has given me problems for 20 years so I can't blame it all on Keto) Spent about 3 days off due to being in hospital, on a delicious diet of toast and jello. (I'm a little upset, if I got to cheat I should have had apple pie and beer, not toast and jello). But I'm back on track and back in ketosis with so far no side effects. I always ate on the lower side of allowed fats anyway, focus on whole foods and getting all my carbs from leafy greens. I do not believe LCHF is a "fad". It does create a caloric deficit, but the satiety from fats is amazing compared to high carb low fat. Not to mention how much better I feel. I realize I will have to mostly forego breads and sugars for the rest of my life...and I'm amazingly ok with that. Once I hit goal weight, I'll incorporate a few more fruits. But going back to all those carbs that made me feel miserable? I'll pass.

Can you share your recipe? I've seen one where the "crust" is created from cauliflower. I'm still experimenting with the different flours I've bought. It's tricky because you can't just substitute 1:1 wheat flour for other flours and you have to rely on egg whites, cream of tartar and baking powder to act as leavening agents.

...couldn't have said it any better...
As so many people here have searched to find suitable resolutions to their adverse health conditions, it's hard to believe that with all the training physicians go through, no one ever recommends LCHF as an alternative for the many conditions we are plagued with. But then, if these problems can be linked back to the way we eat, who can make any $$$ from that?
The pharmaceutical companies don't cure anything anymore, everything is now a "maintenance medicine", designed for lifelong use, we are bombarded with direct to consumer advertisement (DTCA), where we are told to ask our doctor if a particular Rx is right for us. The care we receive is episodic, with no real attempt to determine the root causes and I am a living witness that if you don't arm yourself with credible information and get in the game about your own health, you will suffer.2 -
Everyday!!! I have a daily coffee with MCT oil, grass fed butter, coconut oil, and a bit of heavy cream. I've done this since I began keto lifestyle and can't imagine a day without it. I drink my coffee by 7am and it keeps me full until 1-2pm. No more snacking or eating my lunch at 10am. I've read that the key to BPC is to not eat. Eating food on top of the high fat coffee is counterproductive. If I can find the article I will post it. Good luck!desertsprout wrote: »Do any of y'all do bulletproof coffee?

KETO for two months now and loving every minute of it, except for during keto flu phase! I've never been able to say that I loved a diet or change in lifestyle but I have found my place. I was introduced to Diet Doctor by a friend who had already started the process and I've been hooked ever since. I'm down 17 pounds, I'm not hungry, have more energy, no sugar cravings, no more gut bloat, and feel better than ever. My general pain and hip bursitis issues are gone. Ive not once felt deprived or wanted to quit. Even my family enjoys the dinners that be made and can't believe they are "diet." What I do miss with KETO - beer and wine. I used to miss using fruit as go-to snack but feel like I have moved past that. Good luck to all. Do your research and go with what works for you!3

Thanks for the info on BPC. If you can find the article, about it, I'd like to read it. If indeed consuming BPC is designed to negate the requirement for food, I'll probably have to skip it, as breakfast is one my favorite meals. I'm eating breakfast similarly as before I started keto, I've just eliminated the grits, hash browns, (and fruit for now). I know lots of people that do not eat breakfast and this maybe be a great option for them.
An earlier post pointed to the restrictive nature of keto. If you spend a little time thinking about what you can eat, the list of what you shouldn't eat will not dominate your thoughts0 -

Sometimes I don't have a bpc until later in the day.. like to supplement lunch. It doesn't have to supplement breakfast. It's great for a grab and go if you don't have time to cook.
For those who think it's hard to make and blend.. 20$ gets you a cheap bullet mixer. It's what I have. It leaves NO oily residue floating on top. I throw in the ingredients, pour coffee over it, screw on the lid, and shove it in the blender. Done in seconds. Well, the price range is wide.. 10$-100$.. We went with cheap and have had it for 5 years now. The fancier ones look awesome and someday I'll upgrade.. but for now, I'm satisfied with my cheap little system. It's small.. came with 6 cups.. 3 tall and 3 small.. and doesn't take up much room. It is NOT the one pictured above. That one has more stuff. And our base is black and smaller. I guess they don't sell my type any longer. But the prices were still cheap. Ours didn't come with cool lids.

The creativity in making these meals appealing and enjoyable is amazing. Again, preparation is the key. Figuring out what you need to eat and making the necessary preparations to have what you need, when you need it is the key to success Getting caught at lunchtime (or any other time) with no food is a good recipe for backsliding.
Just to share, here's today's breakfast/lunch packed and ready to go: Check out my food diary to see the "menu".0 -
HI Keto Gang:
I agree with everyone. Keto for me is a new lifestyle. It is restrictive FOR NOW, but once I meet my goals and my body is able to handle insulin like a regular person then I should be able to add some of the healthier carbs back into my life. People always say "we dont know the long term effects of a keto diet". Well I will tell you this, I DO know the what the long term effects of a high carb diet could be on my health...OBESITY, DIABETES, MEDICATIONS in greater and greater doses, CANCER, KIDNEY FAILURE, AMPUTATIONS, SUGAR ADDICTION, SLOPPY PREMATURE DEATH...so whatever the long term effects are of a keto diet, they can't get much worse than that.
I have been on keto for 26 days. It has been some of the best 26 days of my life. I had three goals 1) to pull myself back from pre-diabetes/PCOS 2) break my sugar addiction and 3) lose as much weight as I can to relieve the pressure on my aching knees. When I first started this life change, my goal was just to lose weight. After researching for weeks and weeks about keto, I realized that weight loss was probably the least of my concerns. This way of eating may (i pray) help me get my health back. I have only lost about 13 pounds in 26 days but the NSV's have been amazing. For the first time in my life, I have complete control of sugar and my sugar addiction. My inflammation is greatly reduced and almost non existent. I can walk up and down the stairs with no pain and slowly but surely some of the "diabetes markers" are starting to fade.
Tips for getting started:
1) Read everything, everything, everything you can. Start with 2ketodudes, butter bob, Keto Christina on youtube. They make it very simple. Then move on to Dr. Berg (who is GREAT), Dr. Weisman (I think that is spelled correctly) and any other Dr. you can find who supports this lifestyle
2) Keep everything as simple as possible. Save the fancy recipes and desserts for later. Focus on getting a simple, solid eating plan together. Get your carbs in check immediately and then work protein and fat out from there. Don't stress about grassfed this, organic that. Just eat whole food from Walmart and Aldi. Once you get the hang of things, then you can move on to the higher quality food. Don't let petty excuses stop you from starting
3) Set your MFP caloric intake and goals accordingly based on your TDEE and a 20 grams per day carb max (about 5% of total macros). THere are a ton of BMR calculators out there. Just find the one that you like best
4) If you have a sugar addiction. Admit it and recognize it. Appreciate that the sugar can be just as addicting as a drug like heroin (there are studies that show this) and take it seriously. If you know that you have a sugar addiction, I would suggest that you avoid sugar replacements at the beginning. Don't get caught up in the sugary tasting desserts and drinks. There are TONS of keto desserts out there and they will always be there. Get control of your sugar habits first. It is possible that eating sugary tasting foods will trigger your desire for the real thing. artificial sweeteners can also cause you to overeat. I know this sounds crazy, but let the sugar go completely. Do it gradually if you can't do it all at once. By doing keto, you will Replace the sugar with more fat and it will help you tremendously with the cravings. Once you have total control and you are fat adapted, then you can slowly add some of the sugars or sugar replacements back into your diet.
5) Listen to your body. It takes a while to be able to do it, but it will tell you what you need. You may need more protein or less protein, a few more carbs or less. You have to make keto work for YOU. Don't follow someone else's plan and try to make it yours.
6) Lean on your MFP pals. Us newbies are all struggling. We can help each other. Right now, I can't figure out why my weight loss has stalled =0/
Everyone on this thread, Please friend me. I love having keto pals. I love my pals who are working from a different diet plan but sometimes they don't understand the keto engine. The more keto pals I have, the better.

ohh and one more getting started tip: Don't let people scare you about keto flu. It's not that bad and for many didn't happen at all. It's a real thing, but not everyone experiences it. Take a good quality multi vitamin, drink plenty of water, keep your salt intake up and if you get a headache, take a Tylenol and keep it moving. =0) Best of luck to all of the newbies4

Isn't it funny how people speak against something because THEY don't want to make any changes...asking you what you're doing ('cause it's starting to look good) and immediately telling you how it won't work for them?
Personally, I feel a sense of freedom that with just a bit of research, I found a true "health intervention" that works and it doesn't involve any of the expensive weight loss programs or surgery.
If you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll always have what always you had.0 -

I tried Keto a few months ago and was dropping the weight almost at a lb per day. But I could not keep up with all of the extra and just got discouraged. I wish there were a way to get back in the game and stay there! I am now focusing on low carb, starting again this past Monday, and also doing 21 Day Fix on Beachbody on Demand. Any advice would be great as far as Keto. I am about 120 overweight and a mother of 3 ages 10m to 8yrs...I need this weight GONE!0
