Keto athletics
Is there anyone else here that is a fat adapted athlete? I'm wondering because it's like walking a tight wire sometimes the benefits are wonderful and the consequences for not doing it right are profound. I've been fed adapted athletes for a few years now and I ride a wave between low carb (under 70 gms) and full Keto…

Ideal Protein turned Keto Diet
Hi all - new to the Keto board. I lost 90 lbs on Ideal Protein in 2013-2014 and have gained back 25 due to lack of monitoring what I ate - and maybe a bit too much wine ;-). I started back on an Ideal Protein-like diet, but still felt hungry all the time. I knew about the Keto diet and read up more so I started on it…

New Here
Hi there, I'm new on the forum and need some help. Lost some 14kg two years ago but gained it back afterwards. Tried Keto and lost 3kg in one week.

We don't serve pork!
My wife and I were in St. Louis yesterday and went out for breakfast. There wasn't much to choose from so we decided to went to this place called The Golden Pancake. I ordered the breakfast sampler which had eggs, bacon, ham and sausage. When our food arrived I looked at the flaccid bacon and asked the server, "Is this…

Back to it
I regained a significant amount of weight since I fell off the wagon near the end of May. Three attempts at getting back to it failed. I am now 64hrs into a fast (literally only liquids since 12am Monday) which I am going to break in an hour with a half pound hamburger with cheese and mayo. I feel as if I am definitely…

Keto and estrogen
Hi,just curious if keto lowers or raises estrogen levels (in females). I've read both on the Internet and kind of confused. I eat a lot of cheese (not fully keto yet, but working my way towards) and I've always heard cheese is high estrogen too. Thanks for any answers!

Blood ketone meter in the UK?
I've been using Ketostix but I'm not having much luck - I haven't had a positive result yet and I'm pretty sure I've been in ketosis as my carbs have been under 20g per day for a good few weeks, and (TMI alert) my pee is smelling pretty funky! So I was thinking about getting a blood meter instead but I'm having trouble…

Keto and PKD?
Just curious if anyone with polycystic kidney disease is on here doing keto? I am not 100% keto, but lowering carbs more and more everyday. My worry is that even though I've read it's good to increase sodium on keto, is it still good with PKD? I'm trying to avoid the "processed" fatty foods such as pepperoni crisps/sticks,…

What is it with MFP??
I typed out this whole rant about someone on here and decided not to bore you all with it and continued on perusing the forums for insight and sometimes food preparation ideas, etc. I was initially peeved that someone who asked for a high fat breakfast recipe shot me down because her "cholesterol is too high to eat like…

ketostix result chart.
Hi all, I'm 5 days into my keto journey and just got a little bit impatient and decided to take a ketones reading using the stick method. The reading was in the purple (very excited) and the reading was +15 (1.5) mg/dl(mmol/L). I haven't a clue what that means? Could someone give me an explanation? Thanks.

Please check my food diary for today?
Hello, I plan to start keto tomorrow. I played around with the food diary today, and came up with something that was as close as I could to my goals/limits. After 5 years of pregnancy and breast feeding, it doesn't seem like much food! Also, I am a runner. One long run of 20km, one sprints day, one medium run of 10km, one…

Wk1 done, so far so good. But...
I've got a full week of keto under my belt now and feel pretty good so far. The headaches are gone, cravings under control, working out is great. But I started using mfp to track everything and that's when I got worried about a few things. I set my carb goal to 25g and noticed that it makes it impossible for me to hit my…

Dry Irritated Eyes?
For the last year I've been on and off Keto/Low carb... and I've noticed that when I'm in true "ketosis" and eating under, say 50 net carbs a day, my eyes become very dry and irritated... to the point where some days I have to put eye drops in multiple times, but still feel it. It usual cause me to do a lot of blinking and…

She is concerned about LDL and sending for more tests and she is suggesting possible statins which I will resist. The surprise is triglycerides - I think she said 2.34 (dont know what that means).

Low carb tortillas. Too good to be true?
Recently did the egg fast and eliminated a bunch of items to see what was stalling my weight loss. Heavy whipping cream? Low carb cereal? Low carb tortillas? I started incorporating 1 low carb corn tortilla from La Tortilla Factory and was fine. Yesterday, I ate one in the morning and ate another right before bed. I woke…
