Hate cooking
Does anyone just eat real simple foods because they don't like cooking, and not get bored? Could you give me examples of your meals and snacks.

New to keto! Advice would be great!
Hello everyone! I am new to keto and while ive been doing tons of research I still feel like I have no idea what im doing. Ive been really good about sticking to my carb macros, but i just cant even come close to my protein and fat macros.

Is this a result of keto?
Here's my backstory: I may (or may not) have PCOS. I have many of the symptoms, but have never been tested (my doctor won't test unless we have fertility problems, and the OOP cost for me is ~1,500). One of the unpleasant things I have going on is unwanted facial hair. I have a dark mustache and am well on my way to…

fruit
I've been low-carb for 3 months and now I'm finally comfortable with the idea of "Keto". Does anyone eat fruit and stay in Ketosis? I've gotten mixed reviews from various websites. Thanks!

At my wits end
Three weeks ago, I decided to clean up my diet and get serious about this again. But all that's happened is I have gained a pound. Some history -- After being effortlessly slender my whole life, even after three kids, I gained a huge amount of weight about ten years ago. My job duties changed from being very active and on…

Ketostix
Yesterday morning I used ketostix and tested positive for the first time. This morning I also tested positive. I just tested again and it says I'm not in ketosis now. I haven't changed anything I've eaten so I'm confused. I'm staying under 25 grams of carbs a day. Also, I haven't had keto-breath at all and I haven't…

Long term keto questions

How much fat is too much fat?

I find it is very easy for me to fill…

Type 1 Diabetics Eating Keto
Hi! I am a 24 year old who has been a diabetic since they were 7. I am starting the keto lifestyle, hoping to minimize my insulin to just the longlasting once a day. I was wondering if anyone else is a type 1 diabetic (since the effects of everything can be very different from type 1 and 2- though if you are type 2 who…

William Banting
With my late night insomnia inspired web surfing, I stumbled upon a pamphlet self published in 1863 byWilliam Banting. It is his personal story of how he lost 45 pounds in the course of eight months by following a low carb high fat diet. He tells how he tried many different diets, consulting with many London physicians and…

Keto Casseroles
I've been 'victim' recently to carb creep - I've been working about 68 hours a week and haven't had the time to make lunch or dinner so I've been hitting up fast food places. I know that you can theoretically eat ketogenically at, say, Mcdonalds but I need to also save some money. I do have time on Sundays to prepare food…

Flaxseed Meal - keto friendly ?
Recently I've been eating SOOO much flaxseed meal (mixed with almond milk and equal) Is it too good to be true that it's zero carbs !? And if so, can I eat as much as I have, given I stay within my calorie limits each day ? I have a crazy sweet tooth and this is the only thing I've found that satisfies it

Calories?
I'll start by saying I have been doing this since March 1st now & I'm very happy with how I feel physically & mentally, but that being said, I am a bit frustrated by the fact that I haven't lost anything since the 18th. I had been eating approximately 1300 calories with macros at 5% carbs, 30 % protein & 65% fat and after…

Question about Ketostix
Hi everybody! So, I just got some Ketostix and I'm super excited to confirm that I am, indeed, producing ketones. I'm hoping someone can tell me though, is it better to be at the max concentration of ketones, or is it better for it to be lower? I've heard two rationales on this, one saying that more is always better, but…

Low carb vs Low carb/high fat - what's the difference?
I've seen people mention they are on low carb, vs LCHF. My understanding is that if you go low carb, the calories need to be replaced by something - usually fat. For those that see their diets as just "low carb" what are you replacing the calories with? Or are you attempting a level of calorie restriction to lose weight?…

Fruit Loops Green Smoothie
So I was reading someone's recipe for a smoothie which tastes like Lucky Charms: http://www.delightedmomma.com/2013/03/the-best-low-carb-green-smoothie.html Sadly, I can't get vanilla stevia or roasted flax seeds here, so I decided to make do with some other ideas.

Just wanted to brag!
For anyone doing keto, I highly recommend that you check your cholesterol levels early on, then later as you see results. I love to see all of my glorious numbers as my doctors look at me with disgust or confusion as I tell them how I got those results. No meds, just fatty food. Oh, I have had my issues with cholesterol,…

Newbie extraordinaire
Greetings everyone! I'm in the process of reading Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes, which I'm finding fascinating. Although I've never tried to "diet" before, I've got some mid-life pounds I'd like to lose, and healthy eating with small portions just doesn't seem to be doing a thing. I work in Public Health here…

Sleep issues
Since choosing a Keto diet 8 weeks ago- which I love, I'm having big sleep problems, I'm not sure if its a coincidence or not. I'm waking between 2am-3am and unable to go back to sleep. I don't think it is an outside stimulus, I don't need the bathroom or hungry. Just my body wakes and fires up, although I know I haven't…

Fatigue and leg cramps
Hi-Anyone have one or all of this? I started keto on Feb 13 and have had left leg cramps every night while sleeping.

Friends like me
Hello All, I'm looking to add some people who are doing ketogenics and/or paleo. I would love to be able to chat about what works for us and what doesn't, also as a support group. I've been eating paleo for over three months and just started doing keto yesterday :)
