My relationship with food now.....
Who else has broken the chains of food addiction? It shocks me to know how obsessed I was with regards to eating and food. I can now say it was an addictive cycle that was out of control. I have complete control of cravings and hunger that it almost scares me. Keto-on!

keto health benefits
Hey there. Since practicing Keto, I have become aware of health problems that I have, resolving because of the diet. I am curious as to others that have had this experience. My acid reflux and related digestive problems seem to have resolved since eating this much bacon. :)

Counting cooking fat
Tried to hunt around for an answer but couldn't fiND one. How do you count cooking fat? If I cook with a tbsp of coconut oil, I don't get to eat a whole tbsp. What do you count if anything? Thanks!

first week on keto
Hey guys ! I am brand new to this lifestyle and would really love to meet new people who are following the same amazing path. My sticks (although I'm told are inaccurate after the initial few weeks ) have indicated ketosis since day 4 and have been consistent. What a beautiful euphoric feeling this gives one..I am beyond…

Finally feeling energy energy energy!!!!
Maybe its the MCT oil I just ordered. IDK. I added a teaspoon in my coffee and I have this euphoric calming energetic feeling right now. I hope it stays with me through my noon Spin class...or is this asking too much? :neutral: Has anyone else's energy finally kicked in. I've been in Ketosis for just about 5 weeks now.…

CONFESSIONAL: was nearly out of the 250's, but then....
Last night was my friend's birthday. We golfed - walked the whole course, there were no carts left. We got thirsty. And hungry. We drank. And ate. And then we went to Boston Pizza and drank more (at which point I threw my hands up in defeat and proclaimed: "give me a goffee with frangelico! Lots and LOTS of frangelico! Oh…

Atkins bars
....I didn't listen when people said they could trigger sugar cravings. I had a mint one last night and about half an hour later it was like the shutters had gone down behind my eyes and I was frantically searching for sugar. A whole box of Cheerios later... I now agree, Atkins bars are the devil!

New here

Carbs at 56g today will that set me back?
I mistakenly munched on some chocolate chips and misread the label. I thought it said Carbs per cup, but it was tablespoon...oops. My daily goal is 20-30g per day, this is the first day I've gone over since starting about 6 days ago. I'm at 56g today. Could that ruin my ketosis? I will never eat chocolate chips again! Haha

Extra arm skin/fat
I've been working out/keto since January. I still have a way to go. 55#. As my arms gain more definition, I just see this unsightly arm skin/fat. My arms are nearly three sizes bigger than the arm holes of clothes that fit my waist. :( Anyone have this ever tighten up? What helped?

C%:P%:F%
Carbs%:Protein%:Fat% if I fix to 15%:35%:50% will it be under keto or not?

Goal or Limit?
Reading in Reddit today==one of the posters said that macros for carbs and fat are limits, not goals. He said macro for protein is a goal to maintain muscle. Is this correct?

Our team, Nanoketo, recently won a competition to develop an acetone breathalyzer to help monitor ketosis.

Constipation & Psyllium Husks?
Pre-Keto, I never had problems with constipation. Maybe once a year. Since Keto, I have it frequently, like 1-4 times a week. I don't know if its because I don't drink enough water (8-10 cups @ day) or if its the foods I eat? I have heard that Cheese could be the culprit, but there were some weeks I rarely ate cheese and…

Rum
I'm going to a bday party this weekend and of course, there's going to be boozing. Is rum ok? With soda water? I've read it has 0 carbs. I just started this keto diet (day3) and don't want to ruin it. I'm finding the diet very easy to adhere to. Just the booze....I can give it up, but not for this bday! Maybe just limit…

Ammonia in nose
I posted this in the lc group too, it's been going on for a few weeks now and I get a huge whiff of ammonia in my nose. Went to the dr yesterday and she wasn't familiar with this but suspects maybe a sinus infection even though I'm not really congested. Everything I've read on keto says a smell in the breath but I don't…

Morning workouts on Keto (need tips for HIIT, fasted or fed)
Hello friends! I'm having some trouble searching for a related post so I figured I would just start my own. I think I'd like to incorporate exercise in the morning before I have to get ready for work. I've seen a lot of different information flying around about HIIT vs. Cardio, fasted vs. fed, yadda yadda. I found this…

Spam and Vienna on Keto?
Is it okay for people to eat Spam and Veinna Sauage on Keto? It's low in carbs and high in fat and decent amount of protein. I ran out of food today so I need to wait to go shopping. Only thing in my house is eggs and spam, which I've been eating all day today to try staying on Keto as best as possible. Is this a good…

metallic taste.
I didn't realize that I knocked myself out of ketosis with my one piece of birthday cake last week, until last night when I realized that everything tastes bad! Oh well, I'm back! Haha! Gross.

Strange pattern
hi. I seem to loose a bunch then slowly creep up and then lose a bunch but only get down maybe a pound or two below the previous loss. I don't understand why this is happening because I am eating properly and tracking. I seem to lose after I eat too many carbs ( within a few days). Can anyone explain this? What do you…

I can't eat avocado's and greens actually clog me up worse what do you do for fiber to keep things moving. I know fat is supposed to alone keep things…

prednisone.
Starting on 13 days of prednisone. I know this can raise blood sugar levels and probably make me retain water. But I have some upper respiratory issues that need to be addressed. I'm also weight training (new last 2 weeks) so my loss has somewhat stalled. Any other thoughts? Any water weight should go away quickly after.…
