Traveling Keto
I’m out of town all weekend for a wedding and I’m a little nervous. I’m trying my best to stay on plan—I’ve decided I’m only going to be strict on carbs this weekend, but allow myself to go over on calories if need be. Everyone other time I’ve been trying to lose weight, when I go on a trip, I just eat whatever I want. Not…

Sedentary Life Style On Keto
Hello, everyone! Just a quick summary about my journey. I have been around MFP for quite a while, and have gone up and down in weight for just as long. At my heaviest I weighed 325ish, and since taking responsibility for my life style and weight, I managed to get down to 213. As I type this, I have gained some weight back…

Opinions on too much fat
So I have been Keto for almost 4 months now. Everything seems to be steady, love the way I feel, suppressed appetite, energy levels etc. starting, getting used to it for the first month I was around 60-65 percent fat. I slowly increased that until around 75-80%. I have done some more research learning that you can have too…

Vertigo on Keto
Anyone else have severe vertigo (like can't walk!) and low blood sugar (60) when starting Keto? My Dr. thinks I might have diabetes. I know these are symptoms of Keto flu, but to develop vertigo literally all of a sudden and just start stumbling around like a drunk - very scary.

About 1/2 way there
I am about 1/2 way to my goal weight and have been Keto WOE for almost 4 months. While I have seen the scale move and know I have lost inches, sometimes it's still hard to realize the changes, especially when I still see the stomach bulge and chubby arms. One thing I avoided when being heavier was photos- which is sad as I…

🥑The Magic Pill🥗
Has anyone seen this documentary on Netflix? I thought it was fantastic… I love the medical and no nonsense approach towards living the ketogenic lifestyle.

Bulletproof coffee
I read that the addition of the fats would make you feel fuller. I am still hungry within an hour of drinking it. Starving within 2 hours.

Hi! I started my keto diet one week ago. I have not lost weight yet. After perusing some of the posts RE keto on myfitnesspal.com, I ordered a ketone blood test kit which will arrive next week. How are you all doing? Have you lost weight? Also, anyone else have low kidney function and staying on the diet?

Ketone Test Strips
So despite the controversy about whether or not to use ketone test strips... I decided to pick some up while I was at Walmart tonight. It was really a curiosity thing. I started Keto about 3 weeks ago and never got “Keto flu” or feel like I have any signs of ketosis. I’ve been really good about tracking and staying within…

Ad Libitum August
I don't post in this group often, although most of you know me from other groups. For those that know me, I'm pretty much an old-school low-carber. On that note, I am pretty anti-calorie counting. I've run several challenges on the other group, and the most popular one was several years back when we did an "ad libitum"…

Reduced BMs
Hello All! I am sure this has been brought up in the past, but for some reason I can't find a search function within the group discussion board :( While eating the SAD (Standard American Diet) I was having BM's (bowel movements) at least once a day, quite regularly in the morning. Since starting the Keto diet 2 weeks ago,…

Ketone testers - recommendation needed
I've used the ketone urine strips (Ketostix) and those worked OK. I'd like to get a more accurate measurer - perhaps a breath or blood tester. I don't want to spend a ton of money for a piece of junk. Any recommendations that you have found fairly accurate, easy to use, and doesn't break the bank?

Carnivore Diet???!!!
Anyone out there doing a Carnivore diet?? If so what have you seen for results. I have modified my Keto diet to a mostly Carnivore about 6 weeks ago. Truly amazed at the results I am getting.

Learned something today
I saw something about sugar free gum and alcohol sugar. Looked at my gum I chew when running and it has 1~2g of this sugar. I have already had 5 sticks by 8 am. Well the gum is gone and should help me to fully reach keyto now. I feel like I am right on the edge of going in and out.
