Breathing issues
Hi guys, I just wanted to know if anyone has had breathing difficulties since starting Keto? Or maybe because of eating cheese, Cream and high fat in general?

I have a virus and feel miserable. I feel like going off plan for a day or two.
I've been "missing" normal food for a few days, which has been magnified by no weight loss, stress and now a virus. Does anyone here take keto breaks?

Your BEST Keto Recipes?
I'm sorry if this type of thread has been created before. I didn't see much with the search function for this group. I am perusing the Recipe Swap Group as well. I started Keto a month ago. So, I'm at "the newness is wearing off" stage. Now, I'm looking for flavorful recipes to cook - primarily for dinner/supper. We are…

Exercise: cardio and strength training?
Does exercise speed up weight loss? Would cardio or strength training make fat loss faster? I know building muscle will ADD weight to my body, but will that muscle burn more fat? And is it possible to gain muscle at a calorie deficit, because I don't wanna eat more to sustain working out. I was thinking I should focus on…

Keto and Torani or Skinny Girl syrup
I searched but could not find anything matching. I was wondering how the community feels about these syrups? I know no sugary products is better but occasionally we want to have caramel flavor or..I spied some really neat ones at TJMaxx today. They have sucralose and say no sugar, sugar alcohols. Thanks.

Not the Keto Flu - the Flu Flu. :(
Ugh. Started Keto recently and had a great first week (in many ways it's not so different from Whole30 concepts so the slide into the more dramatic keto wasn't super hard) and was really on my way, those keto sticks were turning pink... no real keto flu that tweaking my magnesium and potassium didn't fix. And then 8 days…

Keto is exasperating
It’s been 10 days since I started this crazy diet I find myself exasperated with trying to make the macros numbers. Hovering between 20-25 net carbs and inevitably go over on protein by 10 and under fats by 10. Ive read that the fat/protein allocation is okay. But these carbs numbers! What the heck? I don’t eat fruit,…

Trust the process
Hi all, I'm new to Keto and have found that this way of eating could very well be sustainable for me so far. I'm not a big sugar eater and actually prefer savory foods rather than sweet. I also think it's wonderful that I can feel satiated with meals that i do eat and it actually holds me over to the next meal while eating…

Protein Overage
Lately I’ve been going over protein sometimes by 15 or 20 g and under my fat grams about the same number. My carbs I keep consistently under 20 and recently between 10 and 15 per day.That being said I’ve cut back on vegetables lately because they add up so quickly in carb counts. Do you guys find it bad when adding a…

Is there a way to calc net carb in MyFitnessPal?
Is there a way to calc net carb in MyFitnessPal? I can set the macro, but it calc the gross carb and doesn't subtract the fiber, which looks like I'm over.

Keto-Mojo
Anyone else using this Ketone meter as a measuring device? Just got mine today. Pumped about the ketone level but might look to adjust a little to bring it down a bit by adding some more protein.

Help with Protein
I've been doing keto for right at 6 weeks now and my weight-loss has been going great. Due to my size and pain threshold, I haven't been working out a lot, but I'm down enough now that I've added more cardio, as well as strength training. In the past when I've lost a lot of weight I ate high protein because I was spending…

How can I stick to keto for longer than a couple weeks?
I've been doing keto on and off for a couple months. I have a problem with sticking to it for longer than a couple weeks. I will do extremely well for about two weeks and then I'll lose all discipline and just binge eat. I feel guilty immediately afterwards and I think that I'll never do it again but it continues to…
