Pasta with alternative flour?
Has anyone tried making their own pasta with almond flour or coconut flour? I'm a pasta lover looking for a Keto substitute. I tried tofu shiritaki noodles today and I took 2 bites and tossed them. I may try another brand because I'm not sure if I got a bad brand or an old bag because everyone says they smell really bad…

Erythritol vs xylotol
Any opinions on erythritol vs xylotol. Not sure whether I spelled either one of those correctly. I can't find either in any stores near me so I'm looking to order off Amazon. For the erythritol I found a brand called Anthony's with great reviews and the reviewers say it's a great price, $13.99 for 2.5 Lbs. Thoughts?

Cheese taco shell
Anyone tried this before? I did today and I'm undecided about it. I don't know what I'd expected it to be like but it didn't meet my expectations. I'd definitely give it another try though.

Confused about bacon
So today I went to cook some bacon and was about to open a new pack when I saw that even though the nutrition section said 0 carbs and didn't mention sugar at all the second ingredient was sugar. I gave the bacon to a friend and went to the store for some more bacon along with a few other things and every brand they had…

When can you start intermittent fasting?
Today is day 1 on the Keto diet for me and I'm wondering if it's ok to start with the intermittent fasting right away or should you wait a week or two till your body has adjusted? I'm not a big breakfast eater and up until now if I have breakfast it was usually just a protein shake. Normally I just skip breakfast and have…

Bubbies: no carb pickles
No Carbs!!! Hard to believe. Bubbies Pickles are naturally fermented cucumbers. It is cultured similar to yogurt. But the label claims no carbs. 100g of cucumbers is listed as 3.6 carbs, 3 net carbs. An 8 inch cucumber is 300g and listed as 11 carbs. So a pickle should logically have 3 to 5 carbs. But the Bubbies label…

What's the deal???
I don't know why I'm stalling this week :/ I do keto and I.F. one meal a day. I haven't had much of an appetite lately so I don't eat much. I stay below 20 carbs and 1200 calories, lately as low as 500 because of stress killing my appetite. I do eat a keto icecream almost every day tho. About 90 calories and 4-7 net carbs.…

lymph-edema-not regular fat
When the mfp weight projector says that you should be "this" weight in 5 weeks but you are not and yet you continued to eat the same, then you probably have lymphedema. That is a fibroid type of fat that will not reduce with dieting. Usually, one will see one limb larger than the other but not always. This is not regular…

Adding more carbs...
I currently keep my net carbs below 25. I was planning on adding in more carbs once I reach my goal weight. Has anyone here done this? Did your cravings come back?

Definitive Merlot Carbs?
Has anyone found a definitive answer on carbs in Merlot? I have found general stats but no ranges for them. I would really like to drink some Toasted Head Merlot. My favorite by far, but I'd like to know the carbs before indulging. Would the company know if I called?

Potassium amounts...
I've been doing keto for a couple weeks now. I feel great, but my potassium is never anywhere near the recommended amount. I have potassium pills and that alternative salt that is all potassium.

If you haven't tried Joseph's Lavash bread yet, you need to.
It's a soft, pliable flat bread. It comes in big sheets with a half a sheet being a serving size and plenty big enough for a good sized wrap. You can also toast it in the oven to make it crunchy. One serving has 8 grams of carbs and 4 grams of fiber, so only 4 grams of carbohydrates per serving. It makes meal planning for…

Protein help!

When we first started the Keto lifestyle we were so focused on finding the fat, which we're doing great with, but now I need to find the protein. So keto family, what suggestions do you have for adding protein without going…

Food ideas?
But I'm trying to do a combo of keto and intermittent fasting. I made it 4 days (and actually started to see results, WOW!) but when the keto flu kicked in I decided to add carbs since I had 3 exams in 2 days and needed my brain at 100%. But what I had been doing a lot during those days was eating below my calories,…
