Just wanted to say hi!
Hi!! My name is Ashley (aka, Fruitcake - thank you for that, husband). I've been lurking around, commenting a bit, for a few days! Been Keto for a little over 2 months with one two-ish-week period of not tracking regularly (that's why I'm here). I was actually using Stupid Simple Keto to track before, but it's since…

Keto and migraines - my reflections
I starting having migraines the year I turned 30 (monthly during menstruation), and they drastically increased in frequency the year I turned 35 (5 days a week every week). I started doing keto for migraine control last year. Almost immediately I stopped having migraines, including the monthly hormone triggered ones, but I…

Carbs and calories
I've been having difficulty with carbs and calories. I was told not track both, that if I was in ketosis there is no reason to worry about calories? To me this just doesn't make sense... in my mind and how I've always been told, eating too many calories will add weight. So, do I watch both? Or, just get myself into ketosis…

Bitter sweet

Workout changes on Keto
Hello everyone. I am a few weeks into the Keto lifestyle. The flu was mild once I added electrolytes and increased hydration. I have noticed my energy to lift weight has been reduced. I have been able to continue gaining with smaller weight and more reps. This seems to make sense if I am running on ketones. Anyone want to…

I kind of miss oatmeal. Any hacks?
Today I tried heating a half cup of ricotta cheese (full fat) with some butter and almonds. It did have a porridge like consistency, but is so high in fat that even as someone on keto, I’m not sure I’d eat it regularly. I used to have oatmeal every morning and now 3 months into keto, kind of miss having a hot bowl of…

Let the Journey Begin
I started yesterday. So far so good. I have been a serial dieter all my life with massive weight swings (lost 100 lbs. two different times and a handful of 50-75 lb losses). While many of those were great success in my life, for their to be this many weight losses their had to be accompanying weight gains. I am the biggest…

I've done a few online keto macro calculators with super varying recommendations so i'd love to hear what real people on keto are doing macro wise with successful results.

Just preparing to start Keto!
I’m really hopeful it’ll go well. Starting to purge the food I no longer need by giving it away or trashing it. Anybody else about to start or pretty early into it that’d like to be buddies? Keto vets: any advice?

Day 19 on Keto and still showing over 4.0 on keto strips
I have been reading that Ketones are supposed to reduce in the urine once the body starts using them properly. I have been at or above the 4.0 color since a couple days after starting. Does this mean my body still isn't adapted yet.

Keto for 6 weeks, just now having awful cramps?
Like the title says, I’ve been ketoing for 6 weeks now. I didn’t experience the ‘keto flu’ and I think it’s because I had already begun limiting my carbs in the months prior. Now in the past week I’ve started experiencing some intense cramps on and off, and diarrhea for the past 2-3 days. I’m not dehydrated but I could…

I have anxiety and chronic panic disorder. Experiencing keto flu a bit and have heard mixed things about addressing it.

But I am unsure about electrolyte intake…
