Maintenance Calories?
What are maintenance calories? Calories to remain at current weight? Or calories to maintain ideal healthy weight? For an overweight person, should I be eating calories for the weight I SHOULD be? or just a 1000/day calorie deficit of the calories "needed" for my weight now?? Maintenance calories for a 140lb woman seems…

Think this was asked but can’t find it.
Does dark leafy greens really count on your carb intake even though it’s fibrous? Seems crazy to me. I usually like to eat 2-3 cups at a time with some protein and healthy fat. Do I subtract fiber from that? If I did then it would only be like 1 carb. Wish the counter on here did it for you. Are you counting calories or…

Any IBS suffers and keto ?

WHAT ARE YOU EATING?
Hi Pals, I'm very curious to see what other people are eating on Keto. I'd like to get food ideas and a gauge, to see if I've got this. If you're uninhibited enough to set your food diary loose, for the world (or just me) to read, please let me know who you are. Thanks in advance.

A great interview with low carb pioneer Dr. Richard Bernstein
Did you all know he is responsible for being able to do home blood sugar testing and that one of the arguments he received against it initially was that doctors wouldn’t make as much money if people could test themselves? He is truly a gift to the D world.…

Am I supposed to be hungry?
Hello everyone I’ve been doing Keto for 1 1/2 weeks so I’m still a newbie. I’ve lost 11 lbs in my first 9 days. I’ve set a limit of 20 g carbs per day & I'm struggling to stay at that limit. I’m never reaching my fat, protein & calorie (2,000) limits each day which is fine but I find I’m usually left hungry each day. I’m…

Type 2 Diabetes and KETO
Okay so I started Monday - I am three days in and woke up with blood sugar of 73 - as the morning went on it got down to 48. I ate my Keto Breakfast with some nuts but apparently that didn't help. at 48 I had to treat this with sugar - Lifesaver mints to be specific. Is it possible I need less meds already? I take…

Very high ketones (darkest on the strips)
Hello, I've been doing keto for a week and a half, and my urine ketones are super high - the highest that my strips measure - 16 mmol/L. It doesn't seem to matter how hydrated I am or what time of the day, they're always maxed out. I know It's not the strips because my husband is also doing keto and only getting 0.5 (trace…

Keto Help! I just started and need some insight...
I started the keto diet, I'm on day 3, and so far I really like it. The only thing I find a bit confusing is the whole carb intake. I'm fiding it hard to stay under 50 grambs of carbs per day, even though I completely eliminated bread,rice, pasta, and all grains. For instance, I usually like to have a yogurt parfait for…

My hair is turning gray!!!! Wondering if genetic or keto-influenced!
Hi there! So I'm only 25... but it is possible that my hair starting to turn gray is genetic (my mom said she was in her late-20s when she started to go gray).. but I was reading that lack of certain nutrients and vitamins has been suggested to be a culprit for hair turning gray prematurely. I wonder if maybe I'm not…

Exercise and Keto

I added some light weights and some cardio and since I’ve started this my weight hasn’t moved in fact went up a pound. Is this normal or will it go back down? And do you guys typically exercise while losing on…

Macros and percentages
I really don’t like how you can’t just set your macros at a certain percentage and have it keep a consistent # of grams to aim for. The #s never used to change, now they vary with each food entry and I don’t like that. Does anyone know of a solution or a work around for that?

A Plateau Already?
There's nothing worse on a diet than working hard at being disciplined and doing everything right, and not losing a pound. It's been 8 days now that I've been hovering between 179 and 180. I can't break 179. I think my goal of losing 10 pounds in January is now a fantasy. I just don't understand it! I'm exercising every…

lifetime of keto, 50+ pound loss
Has anyone lost over 50lb to reach their ideal weight and NOT switched to maintenance carbs intake? I have 2 questions: 1) Did weight loss happen more slowly after the first 50 lbs? 2) If you don't adjust carb intake to maintain your ideal weight, does your body just level out wherever it's supposed to be as far as size…
