Looking for KETO friends
Hello, all! Looking for friends who do KETO! Only keto friends for now. I'm not in the headspace yet where I can see pics/descriptions of non-keto foods without wanting to run out and get some. Carbs truly are an addiction for me. I'm J. 42/f. Day 2 of keto. Did it a couple years ago and lost almost 70 pounds, but then…

A New Day
Hi, I have been on here for years, and then I leave. The only thing that doesn't leave is my commitment to lose weight and get healthy. I have gained the Covid forty. I have held on to baby weight (she's 34 now). I've known so many diets I have become confused. I am now starting a low-carb way of eating (aka- keto). Just…

Hello from Papa1276
I came back to Keto after being away for a while. When covid hit I fell off the wagon and started eating carbs again. January 1st of 2022 I started MyFitnessPal prior to that I was doing Atkins which was good, until they changed their site and made it more confusing to navigate. I have used MyFitnessPal in the past and…

Back to KETO and IF
Hi, I am a female in my mid-'50s with some chronic underlying conditions, Fibromyalgia, CFS/ME, PoTs and histamine and salicylate intolerances, this restricts what I can eat. I had been doing quite well on healthy KETO and IF for the last 6 weeks or so, my bloating went down and I lost 10lbs. Then last week I blew it, I…

Stuck - want to lose weight and gain muscle
Have dropped almost 20 lbs from my peak, know I could drop another 10 but as I put on muscle the scale isn’t moving… I seem stuck. 20% carb, 40% fat, 40% protein. But I can’t keep up with the amount of calories everyone (and the app) says I should be consuming. Seems like getting lean and gaining muscle can be at odds with…

Diabetes Eating Out Problem
I've started my health journey this Jan. I work in London at a busy job so I often don't get time to make my own lunch so I end up eating out. I want to ensure I keep eating well even though.

Keto - Anyone have tips for snack and recipes for freezer cook ups?
I'm back at Keto, I am pretty time poor so usually I do big cook ups and reheat frozen portions during the week. Just hoping to get some recipe ideas and snacks. I can't do seafood (Tuna cooked in to a bake is ok) or avocado. I've heard salami sticks are ok (Donski's in Aus) and plain ham. Any other cold meats as well? I'm…

Going hard keto for 2022
I've been keto for 6 years on and off. It's a necessary WOL for me due to type 2 figuring heavily in our family and also my body isn't able to digest lots of the available carbs and I end up getting really ill and eventually become immobile. I've set myself a number of challenges for the new year (I do this every year. I…

Ketone test strips accuracy / very low GKI
So.. I decided to try out keto about three days ago and measured my ketone levels today using urine strips - I had a reading of 80mg/dL and glucose didn't change on the indicator at all (like it didn't read it/change was so minimal / below 100 mg/dL). I know the strips aren't particularly accurate - I figured I was fine…

If you’re eating less than 1500 calories, you’re not healthy.
Unpopular opinion from a former ED patient, but an average teen/young adult needs at least 2300 calories. Once you become and adult, that number only gets a couple hundred calories lower. I get that people have different metabolisms, but if you’re intuitively eating (eating when you’re hungry, stopping when you’re full)…
