Brand new to keto
Hello, after reading up and feeling like I’m never going to know enough to feel ready to start keto, I decided to begin yesterday and just continue to learn as I go. When I got to dinner, I was a little over on my carbs, but mostly I needed to increase my fat and take it easy on protein in order to reach my macro goals. I…

Foods to soothe upset stomach?
Something I ate is not sitting with me right and I'm looking for something to eat tonight that will help calm my tummy. Pre keto I would eat so many crackers and have chicken dumpling soup. What are your go-tos when you are feeling in the dumps?

Please talk me off the ledge!
So yesterday, I weighed myself in the morning as usual. I weighed 207.8. I had gained .8 from the day before. I know fluctuations happen, so I wasn't concerned. Yesterday, I ended up going over my calories by 20 grams. And over my net carbs by 11 grams. I stepped on the scale this morning, and I was at 210.6! I've had…

What do people think of Cream of Tartar as a Potassium supplement?
Hi everyone, I've heard that adding a teaspoon of Cream of Tartar plus a pinch of Pink Himalayan Sea Salt to a big glass of water can be an excellent electrolyte boost because the Cream of Tartar is basically Potassium, and the sea salt is the best salt because it has lots of trace elements etc. On the other hand, other…

Back on the wagon!
Hey everyone, I started strong in Sept (-8.8lb), but lost traction in Oct (-1.8lb). Now we're 1/4th done with Nov (+0.1lb) with no movement... bad trend. But I feel good about it! Halloween drinking is over, the candy is gone, and Uber Eats is dead to me. Weight loss isn't always a perfect journey. I'm back to logging…

Anyone else check their Blood Glucose?
Before I started this woe on the first of October, my BG was in the high 100's to low 200's mg/dl. Within a week it dropped to average 135 mg/dl. This past week it's been hovering around 100 mg/dl, sometimes going below, sometimes going around 110. Earlier today, I felt really tired. So tired I had to take a nap. I usually…

How do you fruit ?
US RDA is a min of 2 servings a day. Most of the lower net carb fruits are relatively more expensive then high carb fruits or low carb vegetables. I've almost resigned myself to spending a significant portion of my food budget on avocado, berries, lemons and limes ( not sure i could eat rhubarb ), to meet this 2 a day…

keto constipation

I read one post after another that fiber causes keto constipation. Ditch the fiber and raise the fat...it works. For magnesium, a person can…
