Low Sodium and Keto Flu? Electrolyte Imbalance May Be Your Problem!
Yes. The keto-flu or low-carb flu IS a thing. The first couple weeks, or even periodically thereafter, you may have bouts of feeling dizzy, tired, worn down, have headaches, an achy body, nausea, racing heartbeat, weakness, or have cramping muscles. Isn't low-carb supposed to be great? Why does this happen? One simple word…

Pumpkin this and that. Parades of Halloween candy-crack...And shortly after that Thanksgiving (for some). More and more holiday parties…

Getting Back on Goals, tips and tricks?
Hi all, I started here first nine years ago and in the first eight months had lost about 40 pounds and the next year was down by a total of about 50 pounds from 217 to 168. Since then though I never put on about twenty pounds of that on, the other thirty, and nearly always the other twenty is back on me, I go back and…

Newbie....starting Foundayo....help with A1C
It’s been ages….years…. long time since I used MyFitnessPal — so long I had to sign up again. Anyhow here I am, almost in the same boat I was a decade ago but now 75 instead of 65. Have been on the cusp of diabetes for many years and go for semi-annual blood work next week with hesitation that maybe I will officially tip…

Low carb sides
Hi, it's been awhile. I got lost there for awhile, but now I'm back! So I am diabetic. And trying to figure out good food to make for lunches at work. I do fine at home, but when at work I've been relying on frozen meals for lunch. The low carb ones taste like cardboard so I've been buying Healthy Choice but they are…

GET DAT REAR IN GEAR July 2026 Challenge
It's not summer for some of us. It's winter in the southern part of the globe. Or you can take the position of the sunny side, and remember we're smack dab in the throes of the oh-so-lovely 2026, life still handing us one kind of crazy nonsense or another, as it does... Whatever the season (or catastrophe. There's always…

JUMP IN June 2026 Challenge
New month knocking on the door, new challenge! This month's theme came to us a couple years ago courtesy of a member. I liked the idea so much, I decided to use it again. And also, it was already dreamed up, and I'm busy. 😅 kfat1 wrote: » JUMP IN June....a motivational challenge? Jump on in, feet first, full steam ahead,…

Progress
Hello! I was on Mounjaro and felt the side effects (nausea, vomiting, feeling weak) were not worth it, so I stopped. I was on 5 mg. I started to eat just meat, eggs, cheese, salad, etc. with low carbs, lifting light weights at least 3 times a week and intermittent fasting. Works as well or better than Mounjaro. I'm a 6 ft,…

Active April Challenge 2026
It's Active April, folks. The word "active" is a loaded word. Not only can it apply to exercise, but it can also mean "characterized by action rather than by contemplation or speculation." Time to get fit or act on your goals, whatever they may be. Increase your NEAT, do one of the bazillion YouTube vids and workout…
