How long will I be foggy?
I officially started keto yesterday. I've been doing a lot of research, meal planning, etc, so I feel pretty prepared to make this huge change to my diet/lifestyle. My main question right now is, how long will my brain feel so foggy? I guess this is the "flu", though other than just a slightly off feeling in my stomach and…

Vacation in NYC
Good morning Keto friends, this will be my first time going anywhere for an extended period of time while doing Keto. I'll be in NYC for a week! Most of the time, I'm eating food as normal. My concern will be eating out. Sushi is easy to calculate, as I eat only sashimi. Any tips you have, are much appreciated :-) Also,…

Venting...
I've been doing keto since the beginning of this year (with some schedule breaks every month or so). I've mainly stuck to the same meal plan, but last week decided I need to get more adventurous with my snacks. So I went on my usual shopping trip to Whole Foods to get supplies for fat bombs (which turned out great!) and to…

Hi, I am new to the group…
Hello fellow Keto-ers! I am brand new to this group and wanted to just introduce myself. My name is Jen and I am 31 years old. I have been following a low carb lifestyle (although inconsistently) now for most of my late 20s into my 30s. I have been on and tried just about every diet and I know that I feel and look my best…

I am glad I found you.
Hi All! I am new to the group. I am so glad I found others working towards their goals in the same way! I have tried many diets before and I have struggled in all of them. I have PCOS and insulin resistance which makes it difficult. I have been doing the lchf diet for about a month. I have lost 10lbs according to the scale…

what am i doing wrong to NOT get into ketosis
Sorry to post this question again but I'm still just not sure what I need to change here. I just took my blood ketone test and it is only 02, I feel I have such a long way to go to get to even a 5 let alone a 1 which is where I really want to be. So.....any suggestions please!

Egg whites for Beautiful hair?
I saw this video clip where he mentions using egg whites as conditioner to get strong, shiny hair. Thought I'd share this with you keto folks, as a new way to use up those egg whites you may be throwing out because of the yolk-rich keto recipes. http://www.ameerrosic.com/top-7-how-to-get-natural-shinny-hair-tips/

How much fat do i need to get into ketosis?
I'm wondering if since I've cut back my calories from 2600 to 2400 and now to 2000 and that I am eating less fats if that could be why I am not even getting any reading on urine ketostix? I cannot even get blood ketone reading up past a 03 and I'm striving for a 1. I don't know what I am doing wrong now now that I cannot…

Keto Happiness
Last night I went to the movies with a friend at a theater that serves alcohol. She kept pushing me repeatedly to drink with her. I just didn't want to. I kept thinking about how well I have been doing and feeling. I didn't want the set back that I knew would occur if I started drinking and then probably eating. I was…

This is so frustrating!
I did a fat fast and I lost 4 pounds, but then my hormones make a shift and I gain 4 pounds. I managed to loose 3 pounds of it again, but then something gave me a reaction and I gain 3 pounds again. How can I ever loose 20 pounds if this goes on like this? All I loose come back for some odd reason, making me feel it has no…

Dairy- is it my enemy?
Hi guys so I started keto about 9 weeks ago now, and honestly my progress has been minimal if any at all. I don't actually weigh myself (due to a vicious cycle I was in for months where I'd weigh myself 3/4 times a day) I don't want to get back into that so instead go by how I look and how my clothes fit. I really don't…

How many carbs? And what are net carbs!
Hi guys, I'm doing the keto diet for 1,5 week now and get a bit confused with how many carbs I can really have. I know it is under 30 ish but other websites recommend under 50 or even 20. I try to aim for 30.. Will this put me in ketosis? Second of all, when I count carbs with my fitness pall app I take the viber off the…

dietary ketosis vs blood ketosis
I've been forever baffled by this question. I can test a urine keto strip and be in the pink so that is good right? I can then do a blood ketone test at the same time and be only at 02 or "lo" I know one cannot compare apples to apples but I've been doing this for weeks now and I cannot lose even one pound but not gaining…

New to the board and the keto lifestyle
As with many people, I've struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember, and except for some short term losses, have gained continually over the years. So I've been circling this low carb thing for about two months now and have managed to lose 20 pounds. I'm trying now to get into ketosis and really start some…

are ketones supposed to disappear after a while?
I heard after a while that you are steadily into ketosis, ketones are supposed to just disappear, cause your body has switched fully to just burn fat instead of carbs as fuel.Is that true or it's just being out of ketosis if they don't register at all on ketosticks?

how do you log "weird" foods in your diary?
So, how do you log "weird" foods in your diary? I ask because I often eat at independent restaurants that, unlike chains, don't have nutrition facts available for their foods. Since of done LC before, I can reasonably guess what is acceptable and what isn't. Last night, for example, I ate Belgian endive salad (goat cheese,…

Does keto work for everybody?
Has anyone come across any literature on where keto weight loss does not work? Is there a type of person (either ancestrally, or have some sort of medical condition) where keto does not work? I scoured the literature, but I couldn't find anything. The only thing I can find is advice for people to readjust their calorie…

If not, I just wanted to say hi, and to stay…

plateau
Hey guys! What is your experience about hitting the initial plateau after you entered Keto? How long did it last for you and what did you do (if anything) to jump start weight loss again? I've been on less than 20g carbs per day since September 18 (I used the atkins app at the beginning though, not MFP so on here I have…

Keto adaptation and coming in and out of keto
So I had a bad day last week and knocked myself out of keto for the first time in a few months. I was keto adapted. I believe I am back in keto now from the thirst I am displaying but the strips say negative. If I was keto adapted and out of keto for a 24-48 hours would I still be keto adapted and it just is not showing…

Does anyone know how to fix this??
I updated my caloric intake goals today in MFP because I've been losing weight and I want to make sure I'm hitting the right levels. Well, I changed it and of COURSE it changed the levels in all of my past diary entries as well, which makes it look like I've been going over on calories this whole time. Does anybody know if…

frustrated. feedback please?
the weight isn't melting away, as the books claim. I have no intention of stopping the keto diet, though. I'm convinced a keto diet will help me manage my metabolic syndrome without pills. But... I'm really frustrated! This is my first post. I have to talk to somebody, and I don't know anyone else who is dieting at the…

what's your fat fast experience?
I'm trying my own version of a fat fast for a few days, to see if I can get the needle to move in the right direction. I'm aiming for 80%+ fat, and keeping my carbs as low as possible. to prepare for this, I made fat bombs last night, with an equal measure of virgin coconut oil, almond butter, and plain butter each. I…
