NOT counting calories?
Okay, so I joined a thread on here during my first efforts at keto. I did well, I was counting and limiting my carbs. I wasn't really counting single carbs, like in say, cheese, but otherwise I did. Also wasn't doing net carbs. But I wasn't counting my calories too strictly, and I lost about 5 lbs in ten days. (The thread…

Finding time to exercise
Y'all, how do you fit in exercise? I'm up at 6 to get myself and kids ready for our day, on the road for school and work at 7:15. Work until 4:00 then pick kids up and make it home by 5:15 but then it's dinner, homework, housework etc... Any good ideas for cardio at home?

Bruising...
So, I didn't think it would be related, but I Googled (of course) and it seems it has happened to others. I am on week 5 of Keto, things have been looking up, not feeling foggy, not feeling drained, and hopefully the scale gives me better numbers this week. On Monday I noticed a bruise on my arm probably half an inch…

Alternative to crackers
Hey hey! I'm going to a cookout tomorrow night and they're serving raw oysters. Does anyone have any tips on eating these without crackers? I think the only other options will be fried and that's not going to work either. I would just eat a meal before going but we're supposed to be there all day.

Fasting and Coffee/Tea
https://youtu.be/iAv-1UHHjeg Just saw this 2 Fit Docs video. Yay! According to their experiment putting heavy cream, MCT oil or butter in your coffee doesn't raise blood glucose or effect ketosis. So you can use these things in coffee (or I assume tea lime I do) without breaking a fast.

MCT Powder
Your experience with this, does the, err, diarrhea, ever go away??? Or should I just stop using it because my stomach obviously can't handle it? I've only used one scoop in regular coffee and then another day did a scoop in my bullet coffee. Both times led to digestive issues.

Been using MyFitnessPal for little over a month just tracking calories and now want to jump on the Keto Train. How do I enter Net Carbs (assuming carbs are 20, dietary Fiber is 5) of 15?

Scales are not my friend.
I threw out my scales years ago but now that I'm doing Keto, I've decided to weigh myself once a week at work. I missed last week and was pretty sure I would be down when I weighed this a.m. I've only lost 1 pound in nearly two weeks! I lost 8 the first week. I feel so much better though so I know I should not let the…

:[ did I ruin it?
Im only 6 days into keto, I must admit, but I've been doing good. I'm giving it a 1/2 mo trial to see how it affects me and if I like it. Anyways, I'm usually at about 5 net carbs a day because (I know this is bad, please don't attack me) I haven't really been getting any veggies in besides occasionally kale, and my…

PMS
This time of month is a huge trigger point that often sets me back into my high carb binging episodes. Handfuls of chocolate chips, muffins, multiple baked potatoes, dried fruit by the handful; I can empty the pantry and decimate my weekly/monthly deficit in hours. Not fun! Today I was on the edge. Had a nap, found some…

I'm having trouble with consuming my recommended fat intake without going over my carb limit. Any advice? Also, I lost 8lbs of water weight when I first started keto, but nothing since then. The strips show I am in ketosis, but I'm concerned that I am still doing something wrong. Please help!
