Help from my keto friends
Hi everyone! Could someone take a look at my food diary & tell me if I'm doing something terribly wrong lately. I had lost weight steadily the first 2 weeks (almost 11 lbs) but have barely had a loss in the last 2 weeks and the little bit I did I gained back again. Yesterday I changed my Macros yesterday from 60f/30p/10c…

Hello!!
I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi to everyone. I am new to trying to get into ketosis, but have been eating paleo for almost three months now, and couldn't feel better. I started using mfp again to count my carbs, and thought it would be a good idea to get some like-minded supporters along the way. I am…

Like minded friends
Hey all! I'm new to the group, not new to Keto or MFP. But I am looking for like minded pals. I only have a few people on MFP and they watch their calories. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'd like support from people who are eating like me too. Mmmm...coconut oil! lol I'll celebrate my year anniversary on…

Water Weight Gain Question For The Ladies
Do you find that you still gain some water weight around your TOM or does that not happen to you on keto? I typically put on 2-4 pounds of water weight around that time, but wondering if it will happen this month too.

I sussed around on LCF and found a quick little recipe I could use for this evening since I wanted to add a bit more fat to my macros. 1 T butter 1 T coconut oil I added a bit of liquid Stevia, a pinch of cinnamon, and a pinch of powdered cocoa. Melted in MW then poured into a silicone muffin thingy. Waited about 20…

keto website?
Hey all, I was thinking about starting a (free) keto website that would be a central resource for all things keto. It would have links to keto websites, books, recipes, forums...have a whole getting started guide, faqs and other information, and I think I would setup a forum with multiple categories so you can more easily…

Older women on keto?
I"ve been on keto for 5 months and have only lost 20 lbs. and I'm getting frustrated! Those pounds came off in the first few months and for the last 3 weeks NOTHING! My ratios are 5/20/70 @ about 1500 calories (5'8"). I'm in my 60s and wondered if any other older women have had success with this way of eating. Do I just…

Almond meal, Coconut flour & flaxseed meal
I've been experimenting with each of these ingredients and was wondering how others feel about them on the Keto diet. I made a mug cake yesterday wtih coconut flour (first time using it) and although it was yummy I felt really bloated & was up 1.5 lbs today. Not sure if thats to blame or the cabbage I had for supper but…

NSFW for women only
I was wondering if the women here have noticed an increase in vaginal infections or dryness after starting the keto diet. I do work in the health professions and learned something in a conference which made me wonder if that could be a side effect of this diet.

To watch or not to watch calories - that is the question???
I'm sooo confused about calories. I have read different blogs and reports regarding Keto including Dietdoctor.com and Dr. Attia which have been great resources but I'm still confused when it comes to calories. On some sites it says I should keep calories in mind as well as my macros and others say to watch my macros and…

So far I love keto
I don't understand why people who aren't doing keto on MFP are so negative and disparaging about the keto lifestyle. I have heard some people talk about "carb rage", which is funny, but also real? ;) You know the commercial about snickers, where they have a kid acting crazy and then after a bite of snickers, they are back…

Happy to have found this Group :)
Hi All, I am not new to low carbs. I did a Sugar Challenge when I found Dr. Scott Olson ND, 2 years ago...and took his 30 day no processed sugar Challenge. I did not cut all carbs, just the Processed Sugar junk (I am a sugarholic)...and lost 10 lbs. When several close family members past on, I thought I could handle carbs…

It's happening again
It's supposed to be my bedtime now and it's really late at night but all of a sudden I'm having heart palpitation and trying to breath (can't breath). I tested my blood sugar and it's just ok- not high but not too low. I've been putting Saxon low sodium in my drink about 1/2 tsp per day and about 1 tsp whenever I workout…

Calories
Are they important to limit? I am a woman in her 50s and weight loss is tricky. I'm working with a new doctor to balance my hormones - on week three - and want to jump into keto. I'm been a paleo wannabe for EVER, but super bad carb cravings and caveins frequently derail me. I'm on day three (I think) of keto. Having a…

Keto Planning Ideas? (Cancer)
KETO & LCHF FRIENDS: Doctor has agreed I should go back on Keto along with some meds to keep my blood sugar down (my body seems to turn protein into glucose so even strict Keto shows my blood glucose in the high-normal range, and it is very low when I'm actually consuming starches and sugars). I don't like feeling like I…

If you had to go to a buffet
Later this month my sister-in-law is having a birthday party at a well-known local buffet place that serves both Asian and American food. I'll be in my third week of keto by then.

Undoing my hard work?
I have been doing good with eating low carb (I think) for the past month and a half, but every so often I knock myself out of ketosis by giving in to carb cravings. I always get back onboard with the low-carb eating the next day. My questions is, am I helping myself at all as far as being in keto but not staying in it long…

Low blood pressure & Keto?
Hopped out of bed this morning and blacked out for about 10 seconds. Guessing it's due to low blood pressure and getting up too quickly? I haven't checked my BP since before starting keto and normally mine is in the upper ranges of normal. I've never had low blood pressure. Can keto cause this?
