Consistently Going Over Protein Macro
Hi all, I'm new. New to keto and new to this group. :) Today is day 5 for me, and I'm finding that I am consistently going over on my protein macro. It's not by much, never more than 10 grams of protein per day, but I'm concerned that I'm doing something wrong. I've ready some places that say that extra protein can turn to…

Back on the wagon; Keto + fasting?
Hello all, I am just getting back on the keto wagon after gaining over 50lbs with my last pregnancy. My little one is now over a year old and I figured it was time to get back to what I know works best for me. I'm keeping it at about 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbs. 5 days in and so far so good. None of the typical…

I've never tracked last time but still managed to lose 6kg in 12 weeks. I'm hopeing by tracking this time it will help with more…

Has anyone used Ideal Protein prior to doing keto?
Hi everyone, I did keto for about 2 years and after an initial loss of 20 lbs stalled. I felt great but maintained my weight and at 230 that wasn't what I was hoping for. I decided to try Ideal Protein last October and have lost 40lbs but I really miss keto. I don't like eating all the processed, packaged foods, and want a…

Question about exercise + keto
So I have started keto a few days ago and am learning the ropes. I have a question - I know that if I eat my daily allotment of calories I can exercise to earn a little more. For example, if I go 80 cals over my daily max, I can go for a walk or ride my bike to balance that out and stay in a deficit. What about carbs? For…

Anyone found the easiest way to get daily potassium requirement (4700mg)
More avacados take up too many fats and online supplements don't do large dosages, from what I can find in the UK anyway.

Another sodium question…
Is it possible to be getting too much? I was drinking broth made with chicken, beef or vegetable boullion pretty much from the beginning in order to help stave off the keto flu but I still had headaches anyway. I posted a question about sodium and it was recommended that I increase my intake. I increased and the headaches…

No weight loss
Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to Keto, I decided to go on to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle, my daughter is diabetic and I've been carb counting for almost 5 years, so I thought this diet should be easy to manage. I'm on day 13, full of energy, but no weight loss at all...I'm staying under 1200 calories and my…

New to Keto, Meal Idea Help
Hi! I was given a prescribed version of a ketogenic diet. I am supposed to eat five meals a day: 30g net carbs per day, but at each meal I am supposed to get 35g of protein and 15g of fat. Does anyone have ideas for meals that might fit within those macros? I have never been super successful with macros, so I am nervous…

1 kg (2.2 pound) a week!! HAPPY DANCE.
it's crazy to think that I am losing at least 1kg each week without really doing anything different than jogging with the dog and cutting out all carbs 6 days a week. and this week looks to be the same once again.. Keto for life, i can live with a occasional splurge and clean eating the rest of the time..

UnDoctored: New book by William Davis (Wheatbelly)
This book came out earlier this month. I just heard about it and thought anyone else that may have missed it would like to know it's available now.

LADIES ONLY
Hi, this is my 2nd full week doing Keto. I lost 9 pounds last week, and weighed myself yesterday....lost 1.1 pound. First time doing this, and it is that time of month. I started yesterday the day of my weigh in. Could this be interfering with my weigh in? Also, I am in extreme pain when I usually have mild to moderate…

NSV - didn't cave at an event today
I went to an offsite event where I couldn't control the food served. There were lots of carb loaded snacks like pretzels, crackers, cookies, fruit and candy to snack on. I was fairly sure I would be tempted but I stayed on plan (<20 g carbs) and was able to snack on meats and cheeses and celery and eat around the other…

Is there anything I can do to help with BO?
Hello! I've been a longtime lurker here and this is my first post. I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything I can eat to help with my keto BO? I've got it BAD. I've been in ketosis for a number of weeks now (feeling great) but the BO has only seemed to have gotten worse not better. The strange thing is I've never had keto…

Hi, new here and looking for people to add and follow.
Hi guys, I'm 39 (40 in June, arrrgh!), and am from Australia. I've been morbidly obese since I was around 23, but in my younger years was quite slim. I've tried everything, including variations of liquid "very low calorie" diets, which also puts you into ketosis, so I'm familiar with all the science and I should have tried…
