yogurt carbs myth or fact?
I've been missing my plain full fat greek yogurt in a big way but the carb count is too high to fit my macros. Recently I read an article that claims the active bacteria in yogurt consumes the lactose, converting it to lactic acid, making the true carb count significantly less than what's listed on the nutritional label.…

Breastfeeding and Keto
I've scoured the internet to no avail so I thought I'd ask around here...since I've gone keto, my breastmilk has been super thick and creamy with barely any foremilk/hindmilk separation. Does this mean the baby is getting a higher caloric load from a smaller amount of milk since it is so creamy? Also, he's always been a…

What are your fat bombs to get you to the right amount if fat.
Being new to Keto, and somewhat fat phobic, I have found myself in need of a fat bomb to raise my fat intake. The first time that happened, I force fed myself 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. And spent the rest of the evening nauseous. The next time, I mashed 70 g of fresh blackberries into 3/4 cup heavy cream that I whipped…

Healthful Pursuit Leann Vogel
I'm thinking of signing up for her programs but I'm just slightly hesitant because they are dairy free and while I'm okay with being mostly dairy free I do enjoy it and don't want to cut it out completely. So, what I'm wondering is if you can substitute in a bit of dairy while doing her programs.

New to Keto - need support
I'm trying Keto because nothing else seems to be working for me. I have to admit that I'm not 100% sure it's going to work but I'm willing to give it my all for a few months. At this point I feel overwhelmed and don't even know what questions I should be asking. I have my "numbers" so I guess that's a start.....1282 cals,…

carb count
I am knew to keto, and tracking carbs. Can someone please tell me when tracking your carbs on here, is it tracking your total carbs, or your net carbs. When eating things like lettuce I might get 2 carbs from the servings that I am eating. Is this considered net, or should I count it as 0 since it is a fiber?

How to eat after achieving your goal weight
Question for those of you that have been able to maintain after this WOE. Is it possible to transition to a more Balanced meal by adding fruits, but staying away from “white”. I’m not anxious to eat this way forever, just worry the weight might come right back. I have 15-20 pounds to lose.
