I saw great benefits but in my second week (it was the same week I started my regular birth control pills, not sure if that has some to do with it) I started to have horrible tachycardia and my blood pressure went crazy.

Exhausted after eating
Anyone else get exhausted after eating their first meal of the day? I’ve been keto for months so it’s not keto flu. I do 16:8 intermittent fasting and for the last week when I have lunch (my first meal) I feel exhausted afterwards (similar to a sugar crash). I’ve been mostly eating salads with chicken and some other…

New to Keto
Hello, My name is Cayla. I am 27 years with 2 kids. Back in May 2019, I switched from working full time to staying home full time with the kids, and gained 25lbs.

Struggling
I’m struggling to get back on to keto. I did it a couple years ago and had success. Then I stopped and gained back. I then went on medicine for migraines that took my appetite and lost a lot. I came off of those and gained back about 20 lbs. So now I’m back trying to keto. I’ve been trying to get back on for about a month…

What Tricks/Tips/Items do you have to help you stay in Keto weekly?
Meal planning is everything. If you don't have the correct foods to chose from, then keto is difficult to maintain. What things do you find if you do each week make staying in keto easier? For me shredded pre-cooked chicken makes my week sooo much easier. I also need 2-3 easy to chop up veggies and lettuce, or my back up-…

Therapeutic Ketosis
Hey all! Just wanted to share a bit about me and why I’ve come to this WOE. I’ve always been the one with a few extra pounds in my family, and when I was younger it was cute, but during my adolescence, especially compared to my “I can eat any and everything and I’m still pencil thin” sister, the insecurities started…

Coffee creamer?
What do you guys use for your coffee creamer? I've made bullet proof coffee but the ghee always starts separating from the coffee before I can finish it and it tastes greasy.

My Journey so far
So I've been doing keto (or at least a very keto-like diet) since 3rd October 2019. I've always been overweight, and sedentary, and had never contemplated trying any kind of diet as I didn't believe I had the willpower, nor the knowledge to undertake any diet change. I started keto at 99.6kg, but at my heaviest recorded…

Introducing myself
6 years ago I weighed 297. We moved into a house that had stairs just to get into the house. I took one step at a time. I mean, I put one foot on the step and then placed the second foot on the same step. I lost 60 lbs from exercise and pretty low carb, then I injured my foot. 2 years of not being able to walk--my favorite…

Hitting your Calories vs. Hitting your Macros
Hello! I'm new to this group and also to Keto. I'm only 2 days into this. Over the past two days I have hit my macros (set in grams) on the head, but I'm over on my calories by 40 or more calories. Is that a trivial amount or have I biffed my numbers? If my ultimate goal is weight loss then which is more important: Hitting…
