4 Months on Keto
The first image is the day I was diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic. Now it's one day shy of 4 months later and I'm down about 50 lbs. I get new a1C tests next week my BG has been in the low 90s for the past few months so I'm feeling optimistic about that. I also feel a lot better in terms of physical condition, energy, etc.

Keto OMAD
Is there anyone here who is doing both keto and omad? I need some guidance and how to get all my calories in one meal, it seems impossible to me. I always end up eating less than half as much calories as I should be.

The Magic Pill
Just watched "The Magic Pill" on Netflix. Documentary about low carb/high fat eating and Ketogenic diet. Worth the watch! Eating lchf has been the best decision I ever made for my health. My results have been amazing!

Day 10 keto flu
Hi! I started keto about 10 days ago, after a few years of a horrible diet (fast food, sugar, everything bad). So I have actually felt pretty good up until yesterday afternoon and this morning I feel sweaty, have a headache, and brain fog, and no motivation. I know these are keto flu symptoms, but everything I’ve read says…

Keto and hunger
I’m about 4 months into Keto and while I don’t check much I am likely almost always in Ketosis. At first I was never hungry and didn’t really have to think much about calories. After 3 months I went thru a spell where I was seemingly always hungry and to really had to manage calories, I upped my daily calorie goal a bit…

Is it safe to eat extremely low calories on keto?
Hello all, I'm brand new to the group and to keto. Since 2013 I've been a "track you food, calorie restriction, high protein, low fat, moderate carb" person. (I spent some time with the "eat more to lose weight group too) I lost 130 lbs. over 2.5 years doing that, but then went nuts, couldn't maintain it anymore and gained…

HOW????
Hello. I've been tracking my calories and macros, checking in each day etc. etc for awhile now. I determined that I prefer a LCHF over the last three years but I've never gone so far as keto. Now that my husband is very interested in trying keto, I'm looking to make the shift from just LCHF to full on keto so that I can…

Need keto ideas for using chia seeds
I have a whole bag I never use! I bought it intending to replace oatmeal with chia pudding, but swapping hot for cold doesn't quite do it for me. I do like peanut butter chia pudding. Anything else I can do with it?

I Need My Coffee!
I'm willing to give up a lot of my bad habits to stay on the Keto diet, however, coffee is not one of them. I need my coffee! Unfortunately, I can not drink it black. I've been using heavy whipping cream in it, since that appears everyone on Keto does, but I can not stand the taste of it. Even half a tsp makes me gag.…

Sugar cravings!?
Hello all, I have been strict low-carb/keto and intermittent fasting for 5 weeks now. After week 1 my appetite decreased and the sugar/carb (bread) cravings went away. Now today, after 5 weeks, the cravings have returned! Has anyone else dealt with this? or have a possible solution? I could understand the return of the…

New to Keto...have a couple of questions
Hi everyone :) I’m just starting out with this Keto lifestyle change. I didn’t intend to at first, I had originally wanted to do just high protein/low carb, but I noticed how much better I feel when I eat more fat (I was literally only eating meat and veggies...blah it was boring and I was hungry all the time) Anyway, I…

Clean Keto
Dumb question but I see this phrase used a lot in different contexts and I’d love to hear some thoughts on the topic. As a backdrop I’m 90 days into Keto and have lost about 40 lbs while also stabilizing my blood sugar which was a primary goal after being diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic about 120 days ago. I learn a lot…

Workout recovery on Keto
Any tips for recovering from muscle soreness after workouts. I hit the elliptical machine typically 5 days a week as it's easier on my joints. I'm also trying to do some strength training as well 2 days per week. I'm not really trying to get ripped or anything like that but just do pushups, sit-ups and basic circuit…

Coffee creamer
I have found that a tbsp of MCT oil in my coffee every morning effectively curbs my appetite until lunch. This makes 16:8 IF super easy and fits my schedule. I love Coffeemate Sugar-free hazelnut creamer. I like to use a frother on the creamer and then add coffee, the texture and flavor is great. Since I started Keto I’ve…

Can't focus/sit still?
Hi all, I've been back on the keto diet for about a month now, and for the last 2 weeks have added intermittent fasting. I fast from evening/bedtime until dinner the next day. I have only been hungry when my carbs the previous day were higher than 10% of my total calories. I've had an odd side effect for the past week and…

Lo-Cal vs Lo-Carb (keto): learnings
This is my personal experience—that is to say, my response to 1 year on lo-cal (in 2014) and 1 year on keto (2018-2019). The simple story: I lost weight on both diets, but the lo-cal (calories-in-calories-out) diet was not sustainable: the carbs kept my appetite on a rollercoaster so I had to rely on will power alone to…
