Planning Request - Outdoors Food Requests - Cross Posting to LCHF & Keto
So, everyone, if you knew me pre-LCHF/Keto, you know that I worked the Renaissance Fair locally last year. This is essentially 4 days of on my feet all day, few breaks, eating on the run, refrigeration only in cooler, etc. I managed okay last year, but I wasn't eating the Keto way of life then. (Next week, Thursday through…

Stupid Question - Do I have to Eat High Fat to Get in Ketosis???
I'm so sorry if this is an incredibly stupid question! I've been reading for the last day or so everything I can find on Google about Ketosis. I had been eating a lower carb diet (30%), but have just reduced to 20g net carbs a day - since Tuesday. I've had weight loss already (yeah!!!). My question is this, do I have to…

How to Search Though Keto Group?
Does anyone know how to search posts in the "Keto" group only? When I hit the search link, it searches all of MFP. Thank you, Dan the Man from Michigan

New to keto? Are you hungry? Do you have cravings? (long)
Hey, everybody! I see the questions being asked, especially by those new to the lifestyle, as to why they have cravings or are still hungry. I think the reason behind it should be taught in junior high biology along with sex education, but then again, I think financial planning should be taught before kids are able to get…

Egg Fast
So on a whim I decided to do an egg fast, to see if I can get my weight loss rolling again. Day one wasn't so bad. Let's see if I can make it through day two!

Light Ketosis
Does anyone try staying in the light ketosis range all the time? If so, what do you eat and what are your workout routines? Thanks!

Whey protein (dairy)
Whey/dairy and LCHF. Any thoughts, or experiences? I was reading how it can be responsible for holding up weight loss *in some people*. That's the first question. Second, is that allergy season is upon us in Arizona...and I'm contemplating lightening up the dairy to help.

St Patricks Day meal plan?
Looking for an alternative for an Irish dinner for tomorrow. Rueben, the dressing alone has 4g carbs, corned beef is "corned" with a sugar brine so carbs in that as well, and not even going to touch the rye bread/chips, cabbage and cheese are fine but that just wont hit the spot. Also thought of a good Irish stew but no…

Starting Keto
Looking for advice on starting ketogenic diet. I have been trying low carb, but have been fooled by hidden carbs when entering them into MFP. Always seem to go over. What should my carb goal be? Any advice and meal ideas would be great! TIA :)

Fat Bomb Overdose
so I finally tried my hand at making fat bombs...and OMG SO GOOD!!! I made chocolate, coconut oil, coconut flake, almond butter ones, and they were so freaking delicious, that I couldnt stop eating them! about half an hour later I felt nauseous, and then got sick! This has never happened to me before low carb life. Before,…

Low Carb Pizza Recipes?
Does anyone have a recipe they swear by? I've tried a cauliflower crust and an egg/cream cheese mixture crust. Both have been pretty soft. I'm looking for a recipe that makes the crust more stiff. Any ideas?

Keto and quest bars =failure or success ?
I'm about to throw in the towel : / Not really, just disappointed. It's the end of my 3rd week of keto & no loss this week- is that normal ? I've added a daily quest bar, my ketone strips say small-moderate ketones, carbs are in check, gallon of water /day, walking 6days/wk.

Thinking my goal into existence - Transition diet to maintenance
I am half way to my goal (9 of 18 lbs). With any luck a month away. So this may be a little premature but... So I presently have a roughly 600 calorie deficiency. Once transition to maintenance I am guessing I will need to add back 500-600 calories. Thoughts? Beyond this - how to add. Presumably a small increase in carbs,…

Recipe Builder Recommendations, Please
So, this is kind of a rant, but mostly a request. I'm super beyond explanation fed up with the patheticness of MFP's recipe builder, especially as far as figuring out volume or cooked weight or adequate portion sizes from a recipe without data provided or modifications of existing recipes. For reference: I started with a…

Ketostix, again
I know there is a lot of controversy about using these, however, I have used them off and on for several months to see when I'm in ketosis--usually after a high carb binge. My understanding of why they are not reliable is as that after someone has ketoadapted, your body processes your fat burning differently and the…

Low carbs, but not in Ketosis.
Last 4 days I've had 38, 21, 26 and 22 net carbs And my macro looks something like this for all days. But yet still I'm not in ketosis. Sure I'm in calorie deficit, but the point of Keto is to burn fat and since I'm not in ketotsis then I'm simply packing on fat despite losing weight, correct? What am I doing wrong?

So much sweat.....
Since I've re-achieved ketosis (as measured by blood ketone measurements) I've noticed that I am sweating a lot more and seemingly, all the time. I don't recall ever having this before, but whether its just mild exertion like the day to day running around we all do or a dedicated workout, I seem to be losing a lot of…

Tummy aches and yogurt
So ,I keep having an upset, kinda crampy stomach (with frequent trips to the bathroom), and I think maybe my gut bacteria is not happy. I have heard (don't remember where) that whole fat, unsweetened greek yogurt is OK on keto, but the label shows a lot of sugar. Anyone have a link that I can read or video even, that…

Sudden Energy?
I haven't been able to keep still the past 2 days, fidgeting in class, bouncing on the balls of my feet when talking to people. I just knocked out 60 squats (never done one before today....) and went on a 30 minute jog/run without getting winded or feeling tired. Over 10,000 steps today from pacing besides that too. I've…

Havings issues...
I've been paleo (minus some minor amounts of dairy) for about a month now. I lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks. Then when I started keto about a week ago, I gained 5 pounds back and I can't shake it for anything. I've been in mild ketosis (pink to lighter purple on ketostix) for the last week, and keeping my total carbs under 50.…

New to LCHF...not sure it's going well
I've been gradually working toward my new low carb high fat macros and have been more or less hitting them over the last couple days, but well, I'm experiencing a lot of gastro-intestinal issues as of yesterday, and today the thought of eating high fat meals is repulsing me. Hoping my system calms down, and I'm sure an…

Oh the fatigue....
This is my 14th day doing keto. And I am so tired. I feel like it's getting worse instead of better. I upped my calories today to net 1600, instead of net 1360 to see if that helps. I've hit my macros almost dead-on both weeks. I drink 96 ounces of water, take 1,000 mg magnesium citrate, 800 mg potassium, I'm very liberal…

60 Day Contest on Keto
Hey everyone, I have slowly been changing over to Keto, last week I completely changed over and I will say I've never been happier! Part of the reason for my switch was to see if I liked it as a long term choice, but also for a 60 day contest at my gym (national winner gets $5,000.) My trainer LOVES keto and only tells a…

Rate of weight loss on keto
For those of you who have already been losing or lost a significant amount of weight (50+ lbs) on keto, what was your average loss per week/month? Mine definitely seems to be faster than when I was just calorie counting. I'm wondering how much of a slow down I might anticipate in the future.
