Lately I've been feeling very faint and very dizzy. When I move around or look up and down (even just slightly). Is that a normal part of the keto flu and my body adjusting to this way of eating?

2nd Time - so much easier
So I've just started my second time around with a keto diet. Last year I eventually lost 35 lbs. over a period of about 5 months (once I started figuring out how to do the diet correctly). Unfortunately a series of life events led to me falling out of ketosis and along with it the will power to stay away from my nemesis…

Hello ladies and Gents. I am planning on starting my low carb/ketogenic diet tomorrow. I have pre-diabetes and hypothyroidism.

Hard time keeping the macros right
I am new at this way of eating for 3 weeks now and even though I'm losing weight I have a hard time keeping my protein lower than fat. Other than eggs everything has higher protein than fats. My breakfast and lunch are always bacon, eggs and avocado. I just wish I could add other things to the rotation. My dinner is always…

A bit of an odd hypothesis regarding keto flu
I was thinking about how so many people get keto flu, and how awful it can be for them. Then I started thinking about my own experience: no flu, nada, zip, zilch. I was very very ill 4 years ago, I threw up for over a year 30+ times per day. Because of this, I was in ketosis (due to starvation, essentially). Could it be…

Feast Days or Carb Splurges?
New to keto in Feb, but with the upcoming Easter holiday and a personal celebration on the horizon for my daughter, I am considering just enjoying the afternoon and allowing myself to partake of my favorite foods. Haven't cheated in months, and now that I'm finally making headway since switching to keto, I'm afraid to get…

Keto forever?
I was just wondering if anyone else was planning on reintroducing carbs in the form of grains once they reach their goal weight? I love being low carb and don't have any cravings but I just wonder if it's sustainable forever (and ever). I know I could up veg intake considerably to get more fibre, but I think once I get to…

Fried Radishes?
I was bouncing around on the web last night and found a web site (that I can't find right now) that had low carb fried radishes. Basically quarter them and fry in your favorite oil, salt & pepper. Tonight, I picked up some on my way home. So, I broke my fast (only 24 hrs long) which is earlier than normal, because I was…

what has been the best/worst health impact for you on keto?
I'm asking because so far keto is changing g my life and that of my friends. I have multiple connective tissue disorder and psoriatic arthritis, fatigue, chronic pain and swelling so I started this way of eating for health reasons (weight loss and true added bonus) Before this diet I was on painkillers everyday and Dr's…

Cream cheese and carbs
So, I was not pleased when kraft cream cheese (and the store brand) jumped carbs from 1/serving to 2/serving. Not a big deal, but still irritating. Turns out Horizon organic cream cheese (haven't tested the taste yet), is 1 carb/serving. Most of my cream cheese usage comes in sauce/dessert, so we'll see how it works!

Ladies: effect of fat loss on cycle duration?
I recall from years ago that when I lost 60#s that it had a pretty noticeable effect on the length of my cycles, which have always been a little on the shorter side (25-26 days in my 20s and early 30s). For the last 5-6 years I've had stupidly short cycles of ~23 days...sometimes as short as 21 (and then I have a light…

Anyone knows of a really good all-in-one supplement formula/multivitamin?

Electrolyte supplementation? This one?
Hi folks, So I think I have a decent handle on my macros. I feel relatively good. Never felt more stable in terms of hunger/cravings etc. Energy is low, but it almost always is even before keto. So. I see all this talk about ketosis flushing out electrolytes. I don't know how anyone on here reaches the potassium numbers…
