Ok Keto science buffs....
Riddle me this: My current understanding is... Ketosis is the state in which your body is burning ketones for energy rather than sugar / carbs yes? And after being in Ketosis for a bit, you deplete you glycogen stores from you cells which just leaves ketones from fat for energy yes? And consuming too many carbs will take…

Dirty vs clean Keto
I keep seeng these two designations but dont really know what would constitute 'dirty' keto. If I generally eat healthy nutrient rich foods, but have the odd diet coke or bunless fast foos burger, does that make it dirty keto?

psychological vs physiological hunger
For those that have been making this work for a while, have you noticed that you are hitting a psychological full feeling at around the same time you hit the physical full feeling? If yes, how long did it take you to reach that point……or was it mostly a decision that you would not obsess about how much you wanted to eat…

Please share your favorite Keto Soup recipes
I'm looking for something tried and true. Last fall I made a Pumpkin Crab soup which was awesome. I'm also Dairy and Egg Free, so any recipe that doesn't contain either, or I can easily swap in something like Coconut Cream/Milk, would be great. Thanks!!

Water - Electrolytes - Salt - Cramps
I've been getting cramps fairly regularly and have been buying pills, popping salt straight from the shaker, and drinking pickle juice to increase/replace electrolytes; but still my calves and feet are cramping really easily. Sometimes a cramp will completely freeze my foot, and I have to free it by hand! I was reading…

Monthly Body Scan Data
Each month I go for a body scan so I can monitor my true progress on keto beyond the bathroom scale. I believe it is important to share this data because the at home scale cannot give a true breakdown of how a person is doing. If you feel down about your progress please never forget that lean mass could be replacing body…

Net carbs?
I’m looking to aim for 25 net carbs per day, but when I put in what I’ve had to eat today (plus an estimate for later) I’m over by 2. It’s simple things I’d never think of, like red peppers, green beans, etc. How do you keep your net carbs within a decent range?

Haven't lost anything on a full week of keto
I want this to be successful, but I'm a little frustrated. This is my second go at it. I gave up after the first week because of the "flu" and wanted to give it a try again since I found out how to keep it from happening again. I'm wondering why I've only lost barely a pound the first week despite keeping my carbs low, my…

Silly question about net carbs
So I know that net carbs is total carbs minus fibre but is it for total food consumption for the day or each food individually? Like I have had a high fibre day which essentially puts me in a carb deficit? Like minus 2 grams carbs? So can I still eat 20 net grams of carbs today while still in ketosis? And if thats the…

Fat adapted and raising carb targets
Hello So im far off from actually dealing with this issue, but I am curious as to how it works. From what I have been reading, once you are fat adapted you can raise your carb targets, sometimes up to 50 grams, and it wont kick you out of ketosis. But I also read that as your body gets used to using ketones for energy,…

I don’t want to have to feel guilty about this
Ok so I’ve been doing very well with the Keto diet. I’ve also been doing outstanding with respect to limiting my alcohol intake. My weakness is beer.... So, I have went from a 2-3 a day beer drinker to a 2 beers maximum a week. I just don’t know how this will ruin my efforts. If it’s going to be a make or break, I’m not…

Big Mistake
So been Keto for a few months now. Doing great. No cravings or anything. This week was really bad. Lots of drama, everything that could go wrong, did. So when my kid asked if we could get pizza I though, “stuff it. Why not.” Ate six large slices. OMFG. my digestive system hates me. My insides have turned to liquid. I…

Do you eat exercise calories on keto?
Hey, just a few weeks in to keto, and feeling pretty good overall, though not dropping the pounds as fast as others seem to (I'm now paying closer attention to caloric intake). I love that I'm noticably not as hungry as I usually am! I use ketostix to assess whether I'm in ketosis, and they regularly show I am (I drink a…
