Looking forward to interacting with fellow keto followers
Im newish to pursuing a paleo keto lifestyle. So far my biggest obstacles have been my family and friends- all of whom hate the fact that I am not eating "normally." I am really excited that this group is here and getting further involved in this community! It has been frustrating not having anyone to discuss keto with.

Problems with keto
I have a half finished 5lb tub of protein powder that i now can't use because I fill up my protein macro way to easily with food on its own. sigh. What are some of your problems?

are 'meatless' dinners possible on keto??
I find that if I don't have meat, I don't meet my fat goal. But I also, often go over on protein. How can I have a high fat dinner without meat/protein? Btw my calories are all over the place, I often go over, I know. I'm still nursing my 12 month old son and find that If it eat less than that amount it hurts my supply.…

Oopsie Rolls
What do you use oopsie rolls for? Are they worth the effort? I don't miss bread in the form of buns for burgers or sandwiches... but it might be nice to have a way to do an egg sandwich on Sunday mornings (I usually end up trying to eat my over-medium eggs on the drive to church). What's the best recipe for them?

Help!?? What do I use for breading?
I like crispy fried chicken, pork chops, etc. I saw somebody here write about coconut flour. Does that work for crispy? And what else could I use? Also for thickening?

Meat Spreadsheet
Here are popular beef, fish, poultry items form my spreadsheet. As you suspected, bacon was at the top. But it looks like its the highest protein as well. There is a higher hamburger (27% fat) but I couldn't find it on CalorieKing (my source) If you see an item I left out, let me know... I hope this helps, Dan the Man from…

How long to get back into keto?
So I fell off the keto wagon over the weekend (sunny day, bottle of beer, no regrets!)...but was wondering how long it took people to get back into keto? When I first started the side effects were pretty severe (nausea, dry lips, dizzy) but this time around I've none of that despite keeping the carbs to 20g. Do you think…

Illness & ketosis
hi gang. I find myself pretty darn sick right now. I have strep and bronchitis. I'm taking an antibiotic (augmentin derivative) and using an inhaler for the time being. Last week blood ketones were 2.0-4.0. Glucose steady at 100 Or lower. I just measured and glucose is 114, ketones are 1.1. I've not eaten since 730pm last…

Getting frustrated
So I've been on this WOE for about 5 1/2 weeks, and I'm down about 10 lbs from my starting weight. I feel like I've been good about staying on plan, I track my food/calories, and get a little light exercise a few days a week... But I have been losing and gaining the same 2-3 lbs for the last 2 weeks now. I started at 185,…

Size Changes - Need encouragement
Hey all! I'm pretty new to this group but have been ketoing since before Christmas. I tend to obsess if I weigh daily or weekly so I'm trying to just weigh once a month but I'm tracking my measurements weekly instead. Up until recently I was just tracking on an excel sheet at home. The way I gain/lose weight is kind of a…

New to the group, but not to keto (100+ lbs lost)
Hi everyone! I haven't posted here before but I've been meaning to for a while. I've been on keto for about a year and a half now, except with a 3 month break since January due to an illness that wiped me out for 4 weeks and messed things up. That's ok though :smile: I've been struggling a bit to get back in but I finally…

Baked Stuffed Jalepenos
I got this recipe from djgreen1968. It sounded yummy and simple. (I like simple). :D I have eaten many of these pre-Keto from restaurants. They always were breaded with flour and/or had sugary things in them. But I never made one myself, until tonight. Baked Stuffed Jalapeños Ingredients: Fresh Jalapeños, purchase the…

ugh
So I've been on this WOE since January. Today for the first time in forever I had about 2 oz of cake for my daughter's birthday. And (tmi) it gave me terrible gastric upset. It went right through me. Is this something that happens or what? Certainly would make me think twice next time!!

Your Favourite Fat Bomb?
Hi, KETO! Just wondering what the most preferred fat bombs might be, both in terms of fat grams and taste. I'm also new here, so if any keto folk would like to friend up, I'm all in. DS

Fasting during the flu? The real flu....
Daughter was sick this week, and gifted mom with it. Woke last night with whole body aches and sinus pressure. Already downing beef broth, because we ran out of chicken, and was thinking that I might just broth/water fast today. Feed a cold, starve a fever, right? Any advice would be appreciated. I want this gone!

Low carb alcohol?
I'm going to a wedding this weekend and was wondering what I should drink? I usually stick to beer as I'm a total lightweight - but it looks like I'm going to have to hit the hard stuff as there's less carbs. Has anyone drank on keto? I heard it lowers your tolerance (and my tolerance is woeful!).

New to Keto....Can someone help me figure out my macros? :)
Just started Keto....been on it for about a month now. Weight loss is slower than I'd like it to be, I just started cardio last week so hopefully it will speed it up.

Ketone meter
For shits and giggles, I ordered one of those monitors that does ketones (in addition to glucose, of course). One hour after eating a meal, I measured at 1.8mmol, easily within the keto range, which doesn't surprise me at all. The meal was an oddly (because I wasn't trying to do this) perfect meal, with 4.7% carbs, 27.7%…

Is this KETO or am I just sick?
Hi everyone, So I had stated the KETO WOE back in February and was 5 weeks in when it all went to pot during my Florida vacation in March. I am back on track and have been full force for about a week and a half to two weeks now. All of a sudden two days ago after lunch I had that horrible overfull feeling like i had eaten…

Gallbladder problems on keto?
Hi all, I'm new to the group, I've been eating keto for about 3 1/2 weeks and I'm down 10 lb so far (about 40 to go). Back in December, I was in the ER for a possible gallbladder problem... They did some tests that all came back normal, except an intestinal biopsy that showed inflammation/damage consistent with celiac. But…

I feel like crap.
I fell off keto after the holidays and now I've gotten the motivation to start again. The first time I got lucky and didn't get the flu. Now I see what some people were talking about this is horrible. I know I need to eat but God I can't stomach the thought of food or fat for that matter. I'm so shaky I just feel very…
