Lentils - friend or foe?

I accept that it should be consumed in small amounts on ocassion, but according to the package for dried Ceres Organics brown lentils in NZ, a 50g serve contains 0.5g fat, 14.8g carbs including 1g sugars, and a whopping 15.3g…

Favorite keto recipes
Hi y'all, I'm quite new to keto, I'm only about a week in, and I'm looking for some recipes to try out. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, dessert. I can't have avocado, and I sometimes have a hard time getting enough fat in my daily intake. Anyway, any advice or favorite recipies would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

When did you start to see results?
Hey guys, I'm just curious how soon everyone did a side by side comparison of their looks in photos and when did they actually see the change? I feel different after having lost 24 lbs, but I don't see any difference when I look in the mirror. And maybe I just wasn't wearing clothing that was real 'informative' in this way…

Biggest Surprise/Shock on Keto
I've been doing this for 60 days. I did days and weeks of research before diving in 100%. I've done well. But, with all the research I had done, there were a few things I wasn't suspecting. What's your biggest shock on the lifestyle? I have a list: 1. I don't poop much. Maybe nobody wants to talk about it. But for the…

Maltodextrin and Starbucks Sugar Free Vanilla
Hello LCHF peeps! So about a month or so ago I decided to buy Starbucks sugar free vanilla syrup for the house so I could add it to my usual coffee of coffee, HWC and stevia. I’ve noticed incredible bloat even when my eating has been on point. I actually became afraid to weigh myself because I was like WTH. My good is…

Having a few drinks with an old friend soon and want to ensure I don't mess up carbs!
I'm only planning to have 1 or 2 drinks, probably a scotch or whiskey rocks with no soda/etc. and a water to cut it with. I am very picky with liquor so I only enjoy a few things. I'm not a beer fan so I won't be touching the stuff, but I wanted to know if I need to worry about surprise carbs in some brands of Scotch,…

Thin spouse remarks/trying to avoid admonitions about keto by keeping it to myself
I have not shared with ANY friends or family my attempts to start a keto diet. I bought “Simply Keto” (KetoKarma) and have been loosely following the 30 day plan for meals (although recipes get me above my calculated daily allotment of 13g). Several of the recipes call for bacon, which I previously had about once every…

Heartburn
Has any of you doing keto noticed a dramatic reduction in heartburn? If so, can anyone explain the science? Before going keto, I could look at a glass of water and get heartburn. I was constantly eating Tums and absolutely had to avoid spicy food. Now, the heartburn is totally non-existent and I can eat all the spicy food…

Carb logging
Hi. Please forgive me if this is an obvious question. When i log foods and mfp says what the carb content is, am i then supposed to deduct the fiber carbs from that? Is that what is called net carbs and i should stick to 20g or below a day? Thanks

Looking for homemade Keto chocolate bar recipes
Ok. It’s confession time... I’ve been saying that I eat 0 carb keto aka carnivore but if I was to be completely honest, I’m more of a choco-carnivore. I can’t seem to kick my chocolate habit. I’m trying to wean myself off of chocolate but I want to do it gradually and keto style and I don’t want chocolate fat bombs. I…

CRAVING Chips - Help!
If you've read many of my posts, you probably already know that I love CHIPS, especially chips & salsa. I tried zucchini "chips" and baked cheddar cube "chips". Neither really hit the spot.

Do you have a Goal Weight? (and why??)
I realised when reading some posts that I don't actually have a stopping Goal Weight!! I've been so much focused on just getting down somewhere, anywhere, below what I was previously that I never even thought about where I actually want to be, weight-wise at least! Even writing this I still don't to be honest. I've never…
