I can have "cheat" days if grain free! Can you?
I've been doing keto for 8.5 months and rarely cheat. On the few occasions that I have had carby days I've felt like I was hit by a truck for at least 24 hours. I have always cheated with some sort of grain, and have often wondered if I would feel quite as badly if it was veggie carbs etc. Last night on a double date we…

Ugh, reddit
There are so many good things about reddit, but it bugs the crap out of me that an unpopular experience/opinion gets downvoted and ignored. It wouldn't even be bad if people would debate it. But, they just vote it away. Funniest part? The post didn't even say anything different from what had been said. Didn't deny their…

MCT oil
There could possible be a post about this. So I apologize for the duplication. What is the verdit on MCT oil? I am thinking baout buying some. The bottle I looked at is 32 oz. I cant believe the amount of fat that is in this stuff. Like 14 grams for a tablespoon. That just seems like a whole bunch to be consuming in one…

Making up for lost macros?
Hello, I know it's important to keep carbs low every day, and that eating less carbs one day doesn't give you a 'pass' to overeat carbs the next day. If I fall significantly short of my protein requirement one day (eg 50 grams) should I make it up the next day? Or just go back to regular macros? I know it's not good to…

calories out
I wanted to ask a question about the total number of calories out. I wear a fitbit almost 24/7. When I go to the gym I set it so that it knows that I am working out. I log the amount of cardio that I do while I am there. Fitbit and MFP numbers are completely different. I do not typically use the fitbit app to log my food…

Struggling with exercise and keto
Hi, everyone. I've been straight Keto for 90 days now. I've been Keto on and off for the past year. In the past year or so I've lost about 25 lbs and that's it.

Reacting to medication differently on Keto
I was curious if anyone has had medications react differently since being Keto. I was prescribed Flexeril earlier this week by my doctor for muscle pain after a car accident. I have taken Flexeril in the past with no side effects. This time, however, the side effects were horrible. I bloated up, couldn't urinate (and I…

New and blood sugar question
I'm so sorry if this is a common question, I can't figure out how to search this group. I've always been low carb and paleo, but now that I've officially switched to Keto (added in dairy as well) I'm keeping my macros to 80% fat 5% carbs and 15% protein. Though it's actually been more fat and less protein. Today is day…

Yogurt created with Heavy Whipping Cream
Hi, I am a keto-er who loves plain greek yogurt. I eat it sparingly due to the carb content and the fact that most don't have enough fat. The best I have found of all the brands are fage total (full fat plain) and Trader Joe's full fat plain yogurt. I was thinking of making my own yogurt with a mix of heavy whipping cream…

It said I should weigh xx9.3 and today my weight is..... xx9.3 It nailed it ;) If I don't stall too much, it should overlap…
