Stalled out on keto - looking for answers
I've been doing keto since early December. I had some initial weight and inch loss. But I've really stalled out. I even tried going no carb for about a month. I keep going up and down the same pound or two. I really like keto. Overall, I feel much better. Much less inflammation, all bloating gone, etc. I still have roughly…

What makes you say "im going to do a fast for a day or two"
For me, its gaining 2.9kg or 6.38lbs in the last 3 days. Im pretty sure I havent been kicked out of keto (however i dont wee on strips or take blood).. so Im going to fat fast for a couple of days just to be sure... because that kind of weight gain is bigger than any fluctuation Ive had.. even at my time of the month…

Some newbie keto-y thoughts for the day
In no particular order...10 things I have learned or liked in the first two months of keto: 1. Eat vegetables with every meal. Including breakfast. 2. The “Cook Once, Eat Twice” mindset will save your sanity. 3. “When in doubt, eat more fat.” 4. Dining out on keto is not as difficult as a I thought. But I miss potstickers.…

Questions - please :)
Okay so I had a huge breakfast and when it got to be lunch time - I wasn't even the least bit hungry. It is now 2 1/2 hours after lunch and I just finally got my salad out but I am not 100% sure I can eat it LOL - can't remember ever saying that! So that made me think... 1. How many meals do you have a day? 2. If I only…

Feeling warmer
Hi! I don't know if this is keto related or not. But since I started eating lower in carbs and higher in fat, I feel warmer. I used to be cold all the time. In the winter I couldn't sit still to long (like watching tv) otherwise I would feel chilly and needed a blanket. Now I don't anymore. Same thing when I'm sleeping, I…

Protein powder reaction
My husband picked up some Isopure zero carb protein powder for me a few weeks ago. I finally had a chance to eat some yesterday. My protein was low for the day so I mixed one scoop in a half cup full fat Greek yogurt. I immediately got a very bad stomach ache after I ate it. A half hour later my heart was racing, I…

Libido and Serotonin. Any smarty pants people out there?
Hi, so just starting the 2nd week of keto. I've been in an awesome mood since day 4 and (sorry if this is TMI to anyone) have an increased libido as well. Everything I google says that while in ketosis serotonin reduces which causes a drop in libido. Well seems I'm having the opposite effect. Does this great boost go away?…

Any Epileptics Here?
I plan to discuss (re) starting keto for epilepsy with my neurologist tomorrow, with the hopes of weaning off my meds (I've been having horrible side effects, I've tried a lot of them, and I've had enough). I expect this to be met with a completely closed mind, to be honest. I've tried it before with great results for my…

2 Pan Fried Slices
That is the description on my pack of bacon's nutrition information. Do they assume that you are not eating the fat left in the pan? Should I be logging the fat separately since I cook my eggs and spinach in the left over grease? Thanks!

Hope everyone is well! I'm still chugging along, still in lovely ketosis, and feeling better. It's been about 3 weeks or so now. No more headaches, not as tired, but I don't think I'm fully adapted either. I am yo yo-ing a bit, and dealing a bit with post induction stall syndrome... hoping it goes away soon! Anyone been…

Caloric Deficit and/or Ketosis....does it matter?
Hello again! I touched on this topic in my last post and I'm looking for some clarity. Ketosis turns your body into a fat burning machine. Now, if Im in a caloric deficit, and still low carb and not in Ketosis (Example...Paleo, healthy carb eating, etc ) wouldn't I be receiving the same benefits as Ketosis Thank you :o )

My cousin just had a nasty run in with diabetes and my dad, his dad and my aunt have it as well-all adult onset. I bought a glucose meter just to keep an eye on things. My morning fasting BG has been the same-ish (pre-diabetic according to my Internet medical degree) or higher than my evening readings. Anyone have ideas…
