Thoughts on shirataki noodles?
I just finished reading "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and now I'm reading the "Fat Fast Cookbook." I haven't heard of any amazing results from a fat fast on MFP, so not sure I'll do one -- but I am enjoying the recipe ideas. They mention shirataki noodles as the only low-carb, keto-safe noodle out there. I haven't had…

Sweet tooth in the evenings
Hi, I am a diabetic Keto-er. I am doing real well on this way of eating, except for one small problem. I like to have something sweet and soothing in the evening before bed.

Best "fried" chicken!

I've read so many different versions of…

"Emergency fixes" for keto dieters?
So what happens if you "accidentally" must eat something you know is not on your keto diet? Or maybe you know that there is some kind of event (like a b-day party or something) where non-keto food will be served and you don't want to be rude. Do you just throw your hands in the air and give up or are there some things you…

Higher fat days, is protein high enough?
I kicked myself out of ketosis last thursday and haven' t been able to get back in. Today I've decided to have a couple of higher fat days and see if it helps.
