I'm having trouble reaching my protein/fat ratio goals.. I've never tried coconut oil, but I'm hoping to switch to that instead of half-half in my coffee and maybe mixing a tbs with NY cream cheese snack before bed. Anybody else that can't live without cream in coffee try it? I'm quite the snot.. I have to have exactly two…

Newbie-ketostix
Hi all. Been doing LCHF for 20 odd days now. Used keto stix for first time this morning. Dark purple. I don't notice any odd odours or taste in mouth. Instructions say dark purple needs to be addressed by physician. Is this true? Unable to find ketone/glucose meter unless on line. Can you stay at this level for any length…

Thinking about starting this to speed up weight loss
I have been on MFP since January 5th and initially lost a few pounds but then it slowed down and I was stalled for a while. Since mid-Feb I have been doing 5:2 fasting so I eat 500 calories 2 days a week and on the other days I was eating at around 1650 but didn't lose much weight (only 2lbs in 2 months) so now I am trying…

Baking with Swerve
Does anyone bake with Swerve? My daughters birthday is today and she requested a lemon blueberry cake of some sort- and I really would like to bake something that I can have a small piece of! Most recipes call for a sweetener called Swerve- but I am always so leery of sugar subs. What do I need to know?

A possibly very stupid/silly question
I was wondering is it fine to use Grapefruit and Lemon ingest-able essential oils? I heard that a few drops in water 'may' aid weight loss. So I was thinking of trying it out along with Keto. Has anyone else tried this or would it be bad to use on a Keto diet? Thanks!

running while low carb
Today is day 2 of Atkins induction. Yesterday was 20 net carbs. I woke up with quite a headache and pretty tired but Wednesdays are run day with my friends. We usually run 5 or 6 km. I'm wondering if I should just push through it or listen to my body and go take a nap. Ideas?

Macro's & Calorie Counting Ingredients Spreadsheet, Collaboration Needed

Should I change my food prep?
Would anyone mind checking my pre logged food for tomorrow (4/27)? I made a few small changes this week. The numbers look good, works out on the calculator, but I am still relatively new to this so I want to get as many opinions as possible. I precook everything and even have the keto fluff made in bulk so it will be ready…

The more I fight for my health...the more problems I uncover... ***CROSS POST***
Honestly, today is one of those days where most of me, if not more, wants to just give up. A 5 am or so today, I pulled up the updates on my blood tests that I'm going to the doctor for tomorrow, and one result stopped me in my tracks. When something switches from negative result (being good) to a positive result (being…

Can I be ketoadapted in less than 1 week?
So I started keto last Sunday. I was using ketostyx to make sure I was getting into ketosis and on Friday I was in large. That evening for dinner I had steak, chicken, a little shrimp and broccoli, and was a little short on fats. The next morning I tested again and I was down to moderate, and the day after it was between…

New lady here!
So, I'm giving LCHF a real hard try here, and even in the first week I'm loving the results. Not only in weightloss, but in how I feel. I've already lost twelve pounds, roughly and I'm nowhere near as lethargic as I was trying to cut calories. That said, I'm doing Keto, sticking with about 25 grams of carbs. That said,…

Light meals/foods?
It's blastingly hot here, I don't want meat or cheese or anything that needs much cooking(the 220 oven really heats up the house). Before keto I would have a couple cut up apples, or half a watermelon. What do you do when you want something cool and easy for a meal? I'm sweating sitting here in a tank top and shorts, all…
