body fat getting squishier?
Okay, has anyone else who has been ketogenic for awhile noticed that their remaining body fat is much softer and much squishier as if the little pesky fat cells are less full and now mushier to the touch? Just wondering!

Ketonix
Did any of you order directly from the company in Sweden? I placed an order on July 22, 2014 and it's still not trackable in USPS. How long did it take to arrive? I'm anxious to get this gadget!

CKD - Cyclic Ketogenic Diet
So I'm trying to find some peer review studies regarding CKD and it's impact on cholesterol levels. I've found some articles that state that CKD will actually improve the #'s, but these are mostly in fitness/bodybuilding related websites. I'm hoping to find something more substantial. Do any of you have a good reference…

BBC Story about Low Carb Dieting
Has anyone watched this movie? It looks a little dated, but it kind of flies in the face of how I was thinking about low carb/high fat/keto. Thoughts welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epxp_Viq484 : BBC Story about Low Carb Dieting (full)

I need your advice - keto holidays?
First of all, English is my second language ( I am Polish but live in Italy) so If I make any mistakes - don't judge me, correct me instead ;) Last year I lost a lot of weight doing keto but then I stopped and within 10 months I gained almost 50% back. Now I am back on track and I am really motivated ( I work out 6 days a…

Fell off the wagon yesterday
I have been on the keto WOE for just over a week and I've noticed some great changes...I was constantly hungry before...I was eating lots of fruits and vegetables and oats and a healthy dinner. I would avoid rice, potatoes and bread. I run and play netball-active about 4-5 times per week. I was wondering why I wasn't…

Non cheese options...
I am about two weeks into keto so I realize my body is still adapting. I do use the keto stix daily and I am in the moderate to heavy range. My dairy is open if anyone would like to view it. I was so excited to try cheese again as I had cut it out of my diet for years due to IBS & lactose intolerance, or so I thought. I…

A few questions...one week into ketosis.
I'm trying keto primarily for health reasons...but could do with losing some weight too :P I never bothered with any organised eating plan before, but a 7 day juice fast made me realise i was much happier without bread in my life at all. Fast forward three weeks...and I've been in ketosis for about a week. I felt awful for…

Intro
Good morning y'all! I'm new to the group however not new to Paleo/Primal and now Keto eating. This is the longest I've gone doing it consistently and I believe it is because I've gone the path of keto with as little carbs as possible. It works for me and I've got my wife doing it as well. So I look forward to trying to…

Ketonix?
Does anyone else have this? https://www.ketonix.com/ I ordered one after seeing some people on the facebook groups talking about it. So far it seems to be working well. Its not as exact as using a blood meter but its comparable. I usually test on the blood meter between 0.8-2 and every time I've tested on the ketonix I…

Curbing your Sweets Cravings
Hi, all. I started Keto back in January of this year and I'm loving it! I've noticed though that I am almost always craving sweets, whereas before Keto I hardly ever ate candy or even liked things like cake or cookies all that much. What foods do you all eat to curb these cravings? I've found my own little way in my…

Hi, I'm new.
I am really glad to have found a low carb group on here. I successfully lost 1.5 stone on the Atkins diet a few years ago, but sadly I gradually put it all back on again, plus some extra. I have been trying to lose it again but I don't have much success with diets which just count calories. So , I am back to counting carbs…

BM'S: HOW TO GO!?
Hi! I'm fairly new to the Keto Lifestyle, and I must say, I am happy with my loss so far. I'm a little disappointed that I'm not having CRAZY drops like I hear about. It's only been 2 weeks as of Monday. The first week I lost 3.1 pound, then I started shark week and pretty much stalled, then last Saturday I dropped 2…

Exercise and calories earned.
I've earned calories through exercise. I've purposely underestimated the burn to compensate for dodgey math, etc. When on keto, am I supposed to eat those back or is it ok to just leave it? Thankies.

Logging Carbs
So I have a question about logging carbs and net carbs... HOW??! LOL I know that logging carbs is total carbs minus fiber, but so you just log it as is and kinda make mental note? For example, if I have all of the info then I put carbs and dietary fiber. But sometimes I only have carbs info. Does MFP automatically deduct…

Need help with macros
I am new to keto, although given that I've been borderline diabetic (with periods of insulin dependence) my whole life I probably should have found this sooner... Anyways, I have easily been able to give up sugars and starches - even fruit tastes too sweet now. I used the macro calculator at…

Is it ok to stay 85% fat long term?
Ok so it seems that I only lose weight if I keep my macros at 5% carb, 10% protein & 85% fat. I try to put my protein at 15% and then I play with the same 1-2 lbs over & over. super frustrating! I worry about not getting enough protein and haven't quite figured out how to find what amount of protein my body requires. Do…

Supplementing creatine while on keto?
Anyone supplementing creatine while on keto? My understanding is that creatine is really only maximally effective in the presence of sufficient insulin. So that clearly presents a problem for anyone on a diet that suppresses insulin levels. Can creatine be an effective supplement for us keto people?
