    Hey. I am doing Atkins. Did you get the premium my fitness pal? I am trying to decide if it is worth paying for.

    Hello and welcome. I suggest you check out the main low carber daily forum group here in MFP. It's one of several groups where most of us Ketophiles tend to hang out:

    Yea I totally get that. Halloween was a curve ball for me too. I try to track religiously throughout the week and then just eat intuitively (only really keepin track of carbs) during the weekend.

    @alaskagirl59 No i didnt get the premium MFP. I just calculate the net carbs and subtract my Fiber from my Total Carbs every day.

    Hi! I am on KETO too! I fell off the wagon last week but am starting again tomorrow! I am aiming for the 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% fat ratios. Although the first week I have to slowly drop the carbs from about 15% down to 5% over 7 days because I am Hypoglycemic and my body can't do the cold turkey drop in carbs. I did have a stall for 2 weeks but then the weight started coming off again. I eat a lot of canned and frozen greens because they are quick to prepare and super low in carbs. These are my usual daily foods:
    Breakfast:2 Eggs fried in bacon grease, 2 slices of bacon, 1/2 avocado, 1/4 cup mashed sweet potato with butter
    Lunch: 1- 5 oz can of tuna, 1 Tbs Mayo, mustard, sugar-free sweet relish, 1/2 avocado, .5 oz bbq pork rinds, 1/2 cup of green veggies
    Dinner: 3 oz of meat cooked in bacon grease with onions and peppers (season to taste), 1 cup green veggies, sliced tomato with drizzle of ranch.
    Snacks: (between meals, as dessert and as calories & macros allow) 1 oz of cheese, 3-5 whole walnuts, 10 almonds, deli lunch meat, boiled egg, pickles, 1Tbs PB, Breyers Carb Smart Chocolate Almond Vanilla ice cream bar, Russel Stovers Sugar-Free Pecan Chocolate Caramel Delights, sugar-free jello, sugar-free mints, sugar-free gum.
    List of green veggies I eat frozen, fresh or canned: okra, broccoli, green beans, zucchini, collard greens, spinach, celery, lettuce, edamame, cucumbers, bell peppers, cilantro, Brussels sprouts, snow peas.
    Other low carb veggies: Tomatoes, mushrooms, cauliflower (great rice, mashed potato substitute), spaghetti squash

    I hope this helps...it's always good to see what other people eat.
    Good luck and feel cree to message me anytime!

    I'm doing low carb trying to get to keto. Taking it slow because I'm type 2 diabetic and don't want the carb flu, keto rash is bad enough. Would love to join a small group like this. What do I have to do to be part of the group?

    Hi! New here, would be great to have some other people on Low-Carb Diet - for me at the moment it is quite a challenge but I am positive!
    Hope we can chat and support each other ;)

    Keto here as well! I know some people try to stay under 20 net carbs, but my goal is to stay under 50. If that's still in line with what you're looking for in a keto buddy, feel free to add me! I try to be pretty active on here both in my logging and participation.

    The group support is 90% of the fun for me, so anyone else seeing this besides the original poster can totally add me, too. I love new friends! :-D

    Just click on the link provided above in the thread and click the button to join the group. The Keto Flu is 100% avoidable and usually do to electrolyte imbalance (newbies never realize just how much salt their bodies really need). I was once be pre-diabetic myself (no longer am).

    Thanks. My problem wasn't really keto flu because as soon as I started getting mild cramps, I realized I had to increase salt and water. My problem is the keto rash that starts when I reduce carbs.
