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…

Carb (in)tolerance and staying in Ketosis
I’ve been trying to figure out the best macro ratio for me and have come across several differing opinions on the carb value. For those of you who are able to maintain Ketosis with carbs at >= 25g, was this something that came naturally as you progressed through fat adaptation OR was it something you were able to do…

Less brain fog.
One official week into Keto and I can honestly say I have such a clear mind. I sleep better and I feel like I have way more energy. Now this is how I want to feel!

Vomiting
After falling off the keto wagon for a couple months, this go round I have been SUPER sick like the flu but no cold or cough... Just terrible headaches and nausea. Lately I have been vomiting up clear jelly_like stuff! What's happening to my stomach?? Even a bite of something makes me wanna puke, and I have clear jelly…

First carb crash in 3-4 weeks...
And I do not miss this feeling. We went to the fair today and I decided to splurge on a treat that is only there (knowing I was going to pay some sort of price...but better than trying to tell my wife I’m trying Keto). I was expecting the, minor for me, afternoon tiredness. I had not prepared/planned for the carb crash. It…

Starting Lego - ideas and direction?
Hello Keto friends! So ive been researching Keto a lot and want to try it for a few months and see how it goes. I have a few questions that I'm hoping you experts could help me with. Obviously the goal is to stay in Ketosis as much as possible. Once you've entered Ketosis, would breaking the 5% carbs one day a week throw…

My percentages are good but I have calories left!
Another newbie question here: My macro % are on point today but ive only eaten 1100 out of 1500 calories. Other than a slight sugar craving, I'm not Really needing anything else. Do I just not eat any more? Or should I find a snack that fits? This is what i have left. Any snack ideas? Protein 22g Carbs 9 g Fat 29 g

Food/drink you unexpectedly miss?
When I started looking at, and working toward, eating Keto to help break my 3 month plateau, I knew I would miss all the candy, sweets, pastries, ice cream, et cetera that I love (and had cut down on the previous 9 months). What I wasn’t expecting is how quickly the extra energy would come on and I would not need to drink…

2 month Keto breakdown using body scan data
I wanted to share some information on how Keto impacts the body using data from a facility that does body scans. It’s critical to understand what exactly you are losing while on Keto or very low carb. Is it fat (good thing) or are you losing lean mass (bad thing)? The scale at home cannot tell you this. Numbers Breakdown:…

Giving this a go
Hey all, good to join here. I’ve always pretty much been low carb in the sense of my diet, but I haven’t followed Keto and paid attention to macros. This will be my first time really pinning down a calorie and percentage goal. Looking forward to starting this, and off to the grocery store to stock up!

BBQ Options?
Hello all! I'm just starting my Keto journey - 2 weeks in and down 9.8 lbs. I feel motivated and energized, so I want to ride that wave. My husband and I typically eat out once or twice a week and while I've been avoiding that for now, if this is truly a lifestyle change, I know that's not a long term solution. I love the…

Macros
I have tried diferent websites to figure out my macros but they give me different numbers. I started on Agust 10 and I feel confused about my intake of protein and fat.

Fathead Dough
I am fairly new to Keto and made myself fathead rolls. Based on the website each roll should only be 2.5g of carbs. Yet MyFitnessPal is calculating each one at 12.4g. This is frustrating, does anyone know why or maybe I am doing something wrong? Thanks!

Three Months
The first time I ever even heard of Keto was when I was watching Jersey Shore lol One of the guys on there kept going on about it and how much weight he lost (which he did lose a lot) and how much better he feels all around. I tend to go into full-blown research mode whenever there is something I don't know about. So I…

Does fat content bother anyone else?
Just wondering if the fat...like oils in the coffee bother anyone else. My bathroom routine is severely cursed sometimes.

Down, then up in week 3
I'm in week 3 on keto. I've been faithful to keeping under 20g net crabs and within my calories. Saw a great 8.6 lb loss on week one, and have since gained back 4 lb. Just curious if others have seen a similar issue? Trying not to be a slave to the scale, and 5 lbs in 3 weeks is still good, but I'd like to see a more…

Coconut Flour
Has anyone tried recipes with Coconut Flour? I saw some Keto "pancake" recipes among other things that look yummy, just wondering if it tastes any good lol.

Missing my candy!
I need help please! I always loved gummy bears and chocolate and have been really missing candy lately. I need a sweet fix soon before I cheat and eat a whole bag of gummies. Is there any candy acceptable for keto? Or a candy substitute? I just really miss my sweets. Any good recipes maybe?

How do you get to the fat targets?
I am considering attempting keto; but when I look at my food diary, I am nowhere near the fat targets (even when I try to plan out meals/foods, it does not seem to be coming close). How do you reach the fat goals…or it is about making fat bombs and planning ahead on when to eat them? (I am sure that is oversimplifying it,…

I just tried this and it’s not too bad. Only 4g of carbs and the crust is made from chicken and cheese.

Face rash
So I'm one month into keto now and have developed minor pimple like rashes around my eyes, chin and a little on my cheeks! Is this normal? I haven't been as high in fat as I should be but am sticking to my keto carb levels and eat lots of protein. I started taking a multi vitamin a week ago, but the rashes really bother…
