High fat snacks
I just started on Keto and I've run into a problem. While adjusting my diet, I've had a hard time moving to fattier foods. So, my ratios tend to be off because I'm not eating enough fat. While I exhaust my freezer and fridge of leaner food, what are some high fat, low protein, no carb snacks that I can pick up or make to…

Eating after coming out of a fast
I am into day three of a minimum 20 day water fast, followed by a 10 day, "Reprogramming" period. Being into Keto for two full months ahead of time makes fasting simple. I'm starting to put together a plan on how to break my fast and how to reprogram my eating habits and dietary choices after the fast. I read a lot of…

Can everyone tell me about their weight loss?
So i was on keto for a month and lost approx 5kg in 3 weeks, which was awesome! Then the second month, through December the weight loss stopped and i gained a few KG back despite being at a deficit for calories and carbs the whole time. So i had around 10 days off keto for Christmas and am sitting at only approx 2kg less…

How many calories do you consume?
I'm just wondering how many calories you consume? Do you even count calories? How much weight do you have to lose? I'm debating over counting calories or not. Part of me says yes, because it's logical (but then again, who would think upping fat would make you lose weight). Part of me says no, because there are ton of…

Ketosis + fat/protein
How are you guys all checking ketosis? I'm doing the pee stick thingies, sounds like everyone else is checking by blood - how the heck do you do that? Also, I need some high fat/protein ideas... can't seem to hit my protein targets...

In Ketosis by Day 3
My test strips are reading purple and I have only been going straight keto for 3 days. Perviously my Carbs were 90-120 on average with the occasional 200-250 day and fats were kept between 40-60g. I expected to not get a reading for at least 10 days. How quickly did everyone else go in to Ketosis?

cooking keto with Whey Protein in the UK?
Hey there! I was wondering if anyone has experience in cooking bread-like stuff with Whey Protein, and if so, which one would you suggest buying? I hear about Jay Robb's brand but it seems very hard to get my hands on some of that in the UK.

OK, Who Got Knocked Out of Keto?
So far, two of my MFP friends were vanquished by wild, roaming hoards of Christmas sweets. Aye, they fought valiantly, I am sure, but in the end their Food Diaries told the tale: Out. Of. Keto. Did you eat something that kicked you out? No judgement. You know the old saying, "Let he who is without carb cravings cast the…

Anyone else mentally feel fatter when Starting LCHF Diet?
Started a LCHF diet yesterday and ended the day with 50g of carbs and 107g of fat. After playing with the keto calculator I decided to push the fat up to around 120g and the Carbs as close to 0 as possible. Started today with 4 scrambled eggs 6 jimmy dean sausage links and a half a serving of cheese. Total was 540 calories…

Foods you find you eat too much of?
I am finding myself eating so much ham, cheese, eggs, mayo and guacamole that it's unreal. Are any of these going to screw my diet up big time? (LCHF) I know I should be varying things, and I am putting cream in my coffee and trying to eat low-carb veg like broccoli as well, it just appears every meal of the day includes…

New to keto...why am I SO hungry?
I've noticed that on the days that my carbs have been a lot lower (under 30) that I just feel ravenous. Just insatiably hungry. Is this normal? Is it something that will stop happening once I'm in ketosis? Do I need to eat more fat when this happens? I feel like a hungry hungry hippo (literally!)

Seriously? Help :-P
I hope I'm not the only one to have/had this problem. I struggle to maintain/GET my daily calories. I normally feel full around 900-1100, and any thereafter. I go, 'Well, I need to eat something.' And search the kitchen while I check my MFP app to watch my macros. Yeah, I'm kinda embarrassed to admit this. First, if you…

Just came back home from two weeks holidays, and was not able to weigh myself. And what a wonderful surprise I found out this morning that I lost 2 more pounds. LCHF is an amazing eating lifestyle!

Going to the Movies?
I'm a big film nerd, but I've been avoiding the local Cineplex lately because of the lifelong mental connection to popcorn and candy and soft drinks. I think I'm up for it now, though, but I'd appreciate some ideas about what I could take with me to eat. I'm thinking of bringing a packet of Crystal Light for the bottled…

New Years Eve Alcohol
I'm not going to be able to resist. I'm only 3 weeks into the diet and have lost 3kg, and it's all going well, Ketostix showing what they're meant to, etc etc... I'm going to end up drinking tomorrow. What's the lesser evil? Vodka soda water or diet lemonade or something? :( At least there won't be too much of it - can't…

Need some advice
I will try and make this as short as possible. I have had 5 children. They are now 9, 8, 6, 3, and 5 weeks old. With my last baby I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. It was quite a blow. I kind of expected it though, as I have gained a lot of weight over the coarse of having children. I kinda just piled weight on…

R-ala/ala to induce keto
anyone use any form of alpha lipoic acid (ala) in their keto diet? pretty much it's a glosecose disposal agent at high dosage. Usually before a carb up I take 500~600 Mg and found that it kicks me back into keto within a few hours.

I've never been one for cereal, oatmal etc.. The one thing I have liked and has worked for me is 1/4 of yogurt with some almonds. I know I cannot…

Hi, very new to this, veterans, help
Right, I'm doing the LCHF - I hope I've joined the right group! Half way through the first week and since for the last year or two I've pretty much lived on pasta & pizza, I have heartburn, a slight headache and my tummy feels a bit strange. Is this normal, and if so, any remedies to calm it down a bit? Am drinking loads…

Are you guys going to log everything you eat during Christmas? Or have a cheat day(s) of just stay keto but not logging. I'm also interested in what you are going to eat! I'm thinking I'll estimate what I ate and log that. I'm planning on eating all keto proof foods, but I'll never know what's going to be available at…

Keto and workouts
I have been on keto for a while already, but recently I really started to work out. I just noticed how ever it's hard to hold on to, like I got less energy with this diet. I already tried to take afterwards whey protein with half a teaspoon of raw honey, but is there something I could take before to get a bit more energy…
