keto with hormone/thyroid issues
Without going into my entire life history, I have eaten clean for about 5 years after doing a couple of rounds of hcg ( I know, probably not a good idea). I was at a good weight and fairly happy where I was. However, after using hcg, I went into adrenal fatigue and found I had low thyroid. Still maintained okay for a…

Started keto
But no keto-flu. Someone please explain. Ketostix tell me I've got moderate amounts of ketones, so I'm clearly not screwing up there (I hope). Am I just lucky and skipped past the crappy no good feeling part of it, or...what? If so, no complaints, but I don't feel any sort of "spike" in energy that I've heard about.…

Warning - Folks with High Blood Pressure, please read
Well, I found out today completely by accident, mind you, that apparently most ACE inhbitors, most beta blockers, and pretty much any basic traditional medication for high blood pressure may cause high blood potassium in those supplementing potassium in any non-food way.
