MCT oil
Since I'm relatively new to doing keto the right way I have a few questions about MCT oil. How do you guys use it? Eat it by spoonful and/or just use it in coffee/cooking/drinks? Have you guys noticed any improvement using MCT oil vs the other oils i.e. coconut oil? Just curious, I've been reading a lot about it, but most…

Coffee Shop tips
Hey all, Cross-posted from another low carb forum I'm in. Hope y'all don't mind seeing double (for those of you in both). The best coffee is surely the one you make at home, right? But what do you do when you're on the road or just want a quick something-something while you're out and about? As a coffee (and tea) lover, I…

How can all this fat be good for me?
Hey there, I'm a newbie - like, only a few days into dabbling with keto- and while I understand and see the benefits of this lifestyle (and see the before/after pics), I'm still having a hard time getting past the idea that ingesting so much fat into my body is a healthy thing. I've heard the arguments for it, but I was…

Consider sardines
I struggle at times to get enough fat in my macro target. While shopping at Costco I purchased Season sardines in olive oil on sale for about $1.60/can on sale, if I remember correctly. A can will provide you with 24 gm protein and 24 gm fat, 1.3 gm Omega-3, 220 mg sodium and are packaged without a BPA can lining. For a…

Do you test for ketones?
Hi all - I'm 2 weeks into aiming for nutritional ketosis and read Jimmy Moore's book Keto Clarity recently. Curious whether many of you test for ketones and if so, do you do urine, blood or breath testing? I'm considering it, but am not sure whether to go there or not. I'd appreciate your feedback! Thanks, Sara

Panic attack/rapid heart beat during exercise when beginning keto?
Hi! On day seven of keto diet. Was feeling good until today -- went for a hike and felt extremely weak (mostly in my legs) and then very short of breath with rapid heart beat, excessive sweating, and strong feelings of anxiety. This went away after resting at the top of the mountain but once off the mountain I felt…

I was that person at the movie theater today..
who brought my own snacks with me!! Yep, I'm working extra hard to stay in Keto, so going to the movies with the family was a concern because I love twizzlers and popcorn. Instead I brought pork rinds with me, slim jims and mozzarella sticks and bought a diet coke and a thing of nacho cheese and it was awesome! This is one…

New to Keto
I started keto about 2 weeks ago but keep falling off the wagon. Today I ate carbs last night I ate carbs. For the most part I was doing great until yesterday, I unfortunately don't have much money so I can't always afford the heavy cream or Kerrygold butter (I hope I wrote that right)? Also, is it better to Bulletproof or…

Maintenance Macros?
Hey everybody. I was wondering whether anyone could either agree or set me on the right path regarding my caloric intake, bearing in mind I am now at a weight I am comfortable with. I've been keto-ing for 2 months with good results averaging the loss of a lb a week, give or take a stall or two and I'm now at 133lbs (9 and…

How does too much protein kick you out of ketosis?
I have been reading conflicting information on blogs and threads. Some people say that too much protein will kick you out of ketosis, others say that you need excess protein. I lift weights so I try to take 1g for each pound of lean body mass so that around 220g of protein per day. I think I should be safe with this no…

30 pounds in 8 weeks possible?
I have been on LC and Paleo in the past with good results. I always add 20 pounds in the winter. I suppose it is a matter of less activity and more calorie dense foods consumed in the winter. I am a 62 year old male 6'3" and currently 214 after a tough New England winter. I would like to loose 30 pounds in 8 weeks. I think…

Weekly cycling of carbs
I love keto. I like not eating carbs, I feel pretty good. Its just that it doesn't fit my lifestyle on the weekends. I'm in my early 20s, and of course I like to go and have fun on the weekends. My friends love drinking and I enjoy it too. This is conflicting with Keto. I decided to do keto from Sunday-Thursday. Friday &…

Marrow bones/Bone marrow
By all accounts, it is great awesome stuff, made of legends. Why then does nutritional info on it differ so much? Some say it is full of protein, others say there's almost none, and Dr. Loren Cordain of Paleo fame says there's a little. With this much difference, who do I believe? How do the methods of derivation differ?…

Free veggies?
Do you all count your salad greens towards your overall carb total for the day? I told one of the docs at work who is a big proponent of Atkins said "but they're free", you don't have to count them. What do you do?
