Recommendation
Hello all! I just wanted to share something that has been helping me stay comfortably in ketosis for a few months. When I first transitioned into ketosis I was constantly dehydrated and was having digestive issues (cough, constipation). I work long hours in a lab where food and drink is not allowed, so I was having a hard…

Fasting Blood Glucose
OK, I started an ongoing glucose tolerance test on foods that I eat to find the culprits that raise my BG. what I noticed is that my fasted BG numbers start out high (>125) when tested first thing in the morning. They later climb down, say before dinner (approx 98), then I run my tolerance testing. Has anyone had a similar…

Cocktails on Keto
Anybody else doing keto and enjoying cocktails also? I love my vodka on the rocks, about 2 per night, but I think it really slows down the weight loss. Can a person drink and be successful at losing weight?

Does MFP count total or net carbs
The title says it all. I’m not sure if I should just look at my carb count on MFP, or if I should open up the more in-depth nutrition information and subtract fiber. I’m sure this info is on here somewhere, but my searches aren’t coming up with it. Thank you!

How practical is this...
So I have to lose 9 lbs in about 2-3 weeks. I have bounced in and out with Keto over the past few years. I have gotten back on the keto wagon a few days ago. Do you guys think that this is realistic losing that much in that amount of time doing Keto? If you have lost similar or more can you please share what you did? Thank…

Anyone doing CKD or TKD for sports?
Does anyone play with increased carbs to improve gym performance? Last year I was pretty strictly keto (20-30 g carbs) and didn't have problems with a fairly heavy load of biking and running (more endurance style). I was just starting out, so I was pretty slow. I did a bit of weight- machine work in the gym and made decent…

Questions regards to low carbs
Do you have to eat all that fat for the keto diet to work? Or is eating low carbs like 20-30 a day enough? I was looking at having scramble eggs with full fat cream (5ml) in the morning. And meat and salad with full fat mayonnaise for lunche. And then a meat and vegetables in the evening with full fat mayonnaise. As a…

What foods do you miss?
Are there any foods that you miss on the keto diet? I dont really miss chips or cake or other junk food, but I am starting to miss corn. I could quite happily eat corn every single day but I can't because it would throw me over my carbs very easily.

Easing myself in to it, having a hard time with protein
So I would eventually like to go full Keto, but have eaten so many carbs in the past, I decided to ease myself in to it. I’m currently trying to eat about 12% carbs (which comes out to 44g). I’ve had a hard time staying at/under 44g and I’m not eating any obvious carbs such as sugar, bread, pasta, etc. On top of that, I’m…

Day 1 questions
I have started the keto diet with IF today. I can do the IF part easily, my plan is to have OMAD. However my diary for today has me at 731 calories which seems low. I don't really want to add anything else to my dinner as it will be more than enough to fill me up as is. Not really sure on how to up the calories without…

Hello, all!
Hey everyone! Boy am I glad to have found this group! I did a search a week ago for a Keto group but the search function on the message boards is ridiculous and I couldn't find anything. I was shocked there were no groups for Keto, but I thought perhaps it just wasn't meant to be. Then someone mentioned this group in…

another newbie
Hi all: Glad to find this group. I've been keto'ing for about 5 or so weeks. No great weight loss--around 5 lbs. But that is better than I've seen in a long time. Not finding it difficult, excepting all the "macro" stuff. Although I had a helluva keto flu cause I didn't know about the sodium. Trying to learn more via this…

Is something wrong?
I’m almost a month on keto. My first couple days I lost each day, it was motivating and exciting. I tried to kinda free-for-all in the beginning, but within keto guidelines, and I started gaining the weight back. So I researched a little further and started using this app again to track. I found a keto calculator to figure…

Caloric Intake During Adaptation
Hey Guys, Just finished my first week on Keto and during that time I've been reading so many resources online and watching YT videos etc to make sure I'm approaching it right. There are a fair few differing opinions on certain things - in particular I am unsure about what my caloric intake should be during the ADAPTATION…

I have a question for those who intermittent fast or are well-informed about it. I have been doing 16:8 pretty much every day, with exception of occasionally on my weekend off work. I am trying to boost loss because I am getting married in 2 months, however still plan to IF after that until I eventually reach my goals. I…

Can’t eat calories.
So I’m two weeks in to Keto and am supposed to be eating around 1,900 calories, which was easy the first week and a bit. However the last few days I’ve only been able to get over 1,200 by having a bulletproof hot choc before bed. Today is even worse. Didn’t want to eat until lunch and made something quite filling. Now it’s…

Keto for fat loss while maintaining weight.
Hi everyone, I'm new to this group. I have tried short stints of the keto diet before and have been following a low carb diet for a while and enjoying not getting the fatigue I used to experience with regular carb heavy meals.

Keto/HFLC and hormone levels
Hello group, I looked for this subject or similar discussions but didn't see many relevant results. I recently asked for blood testosterone and estrodiol testing, my doctor didn't see any objection, so I had blood drawn. I needed to check again anyway for my own curiousity. Had taken combinations of pregnenolone,…
