A success?!
Yesterday was the baccalaureate mass at the high school I teach at. AND a bbq with my neighbors. I went in assuming I’d be fairly casual about my food choices- I want a lasting change so I know I can’t be strict 100% of the time or I will crash. Hard. So I had a few cocktails, did stick to meat and cheese hors d’oeuvres,…

Hair loss?
I’ve been eating Keto for about 5 months and have had good results. However, I’ve noticed over the past couple of months increased hair loss. I’ve heard this can be a symptom and I’m fine with it if it’s not excessive or it grows back, but to see clumps in the shower, hairbrush, clothes is starting to really bother me. I…

New Member! Keto plateau?
Hello! I’m a new member here. I started Keto 3 months ago and have lost 36 pounds. For the past 2 weeks I have not lost anything at all. The only thing that has changed is that I have started exercising. I’ve only been doing the treadmill and elliptical, no weight lifting. I weigh and log everything into the carb manager…

New to Keto
Hi everyone! I'm about 70-80 pounds overweight and have been told by my Dr that I'm on the line of having type 2 diabetes. He wants me to watch my carbs and sugar. I've heard about the Keto Diet and it sounds like what I need to do but since I've never done it I'm not for sure how to get started. It sounds like all I need…

Keto feel too good to be true
Hey everyone, Keto-Ken here. I've been on Keto for 2 weeks now. I'm honestly at the point where I'm not salivating over small of fresh pizza. I'm down 15lbs since starting two weeks ago. It feels almost too good to be true. Long term, this diet must get old right? For those of you that have been on keto long-term- how do…

Keto and athletic performance?
I’m new to keto although I’ve been LC/SC for years. I’m fit and not overweight but have put on some pounds as I aged that I’m trying to lose. I do low carb for headaches and because there’s a lot of diabetes in my family (both my parents). I’m definitely both a carb addict and carb sensitive. What do people do about the…

New Member, I think I’m Keto?
Hi! I’m a mom of five and now a grandma of five. I need to lose 100 pounds, improve my stamina and health, and control my diabetes. I’m doing that by eating around 20 net carbs a day and walking every day (unless it’s bad weather). Please add me if you have an open diary, I love reading what others are eating and it…

Low on fats...
Hi. I recently started Keto. I can stay under 20 carbs, but am finding it difficult to hit the fat amount- I’m usually close to hitting protein. Is not hitting the fat going to be counter productive?

likes and dislikes
I thought I would give Keto a try. I could hang on for a week and was struggling. I like carbs and that's probably not going to change. I could not get used to eat a lot of fat because I learned fat is bad for you. And all the Keto rules was exhausting. I did enjoy eating bacon and cooking my food in butter. But I love…

Do you swell up after a glass of wine? Why does this happen?
Anybody else swell up like crazy after one glass of wine? Any idea why? Even with a small glass of white wine my fingers get ridiculously swollen - can't even take off my rings. ??? My feet swell too, and it's gross. I would get it if it was just red wine and it was sulfites, but even with white? Anyone else? Or anyone…

Appetite has plummeted
I've read in numerous research and blogs that going LCHF will suppress your appetite..and while I accept it, it has been rather shocking to me over the last couple months. I have basically gone from being miserable and hungry at 1800 daily calories (500 deficit) to some days having a bit of a time to reach 1640 (500…

Salt in my coffee
I have been trying to find a new coffee creamer to help cut carbs and calories. I tried HWC among others, but it didn’t taste “right”. So today I tried Nut pods French Vanilla creamer with a dash of cinnamon and monk fruit. Still no go. Drinkable but not that enjoyable. Then for some reason I added Himalayan pink salt and…
