Do you like pork rinds?
Let's face it....they may just be the most perfect keto snack food. They're crunchy, salty, full of fat, and don't have any carbs. They're wonderful by themselves, or topped with keto friendly dips. I personally love them. My kids hate them, which makes me happy...it means more for me. I love them topped with a nice…

New to Group
Hi! I joined MFP and started becoming healthier on 02/13/12. I lost about 100 pounds in 2012. Simply eating less and moving more. But, that pretty much stopped working in 2013. Desperate, I went to my Doctor who referred me to a weight management group within the health system, Henry Ford. They put me on a 650 calorie…

Decaf Bulletproof Coffee??
I have been making my own Bulletproof coffee every morning but with decaffeinated coffee because I have high blood pressure and I don't want to get addicted to caffeine. I've seen what that looks like with my mom and don't want that to happen to me. Is this totally pointless? Does regular coffee need to be used instead?

sweeteners

What to eat pre workout
Hey guys I'm looking for something decent to eat before the gym, what's your suggestions? I work out in the morning, I usually have a 1/4 of a protein bar but get very hungry mid work out, I don't want to eat more protein bar because it's well high in protein and carbs, so I'm at a lost on what to eat.

Low carb poutine - tweaks/thoughts...
Oh so I don't know why, but I have been obsessing over poutine. Not that I allowed myself to have it very often when I wasn't following a keto plan. But now 2 of the 3 "forbidden" foods are a go, cheese and gravy. I've just been trying to find a replacement for the fries. Here's what I've come up with so far, and to…

Could it be?
I usually eat between 35-50 carbs, which seems to put me in ketosis, especially on days that I exercise a lot. Often on Saturday, I eat around 100 carbs but exercise a lot. On Sunday morning, I workout right away, and eat LC/HF, and it seems that I go back into ketosis that day. Could it be?

Looking to try Keto! In need of support and suggestions!

Feeling Weak
Hi All I have been doing Keto for about 3 weeks now. I don't really think I got the whole carb flu thing, and I haven't had any major cravings and my weight has been dropping which is great. But I am finding that I am feeling weaker at the gym - I can't do as many push ups, can't lift as much etc. Did anyone else…

What is your dream size?
So this may be a bit silly, but I thought it would be fun too. What size are you now and what size do you aim to be? I'm in between sizes now, moving down to a 10. I fit in a 10, but not comfortably. I've been a size 12 for a few years now and I'm just so completely sick of it, I've got a closet full clothes I can't wear.…

Dry itchy peeling hands
I notice that since starting on keto my hands are constantly red, itchy and peeling. Of course it might not be the change of diet but I haven't changed soap or detergent or moved house or got a pet or anything else like that. The diet is the one thing I changed. I would have thought that eating all this oily fish, fatty…

Jeans!
I had to relay a funny situation that happened to me today. I've been on keto for about 2 months or so and have lost over 18 pounds which is amazing to me AND I'm never hungry...even more amazing for a lifelong always hungry carb addict. Today after lunch I was thinking how tight my jeans were feeling and it had me down, I…

Anyone use Splenda?
(From Joel Marion) Splenda®, also known as sucralose, is an artificial, chemical sweetener. Despite advertisements stating “Made from Sugar, so it Tastes like Sugar”, which attempt to confuse consumers, Splenda® is not natural and contains no elements of natural sugar. You may also be surprised to learn that Splenda®…

my new enemy! Pumpkin Spice M&Ms!
I want them! But one serving is WAY too many carbs! Ugh! I might get them and have some on Halloween, which is to be my wedding day. I might turn Halloween into a cheat day because it's special....... But they are evil!

Do you eat back calories burned?
When I calculated my TDEE I used the sedentary setting so that I could accurately calculate calories burned by exercise. I have a heart rate monitor to give a more accurate reading. But I'm wondering if I should be eating those calories back or not? My husband doesn't think I should and me, well I don't really care either…

good fat vs bad fat
So I sort of got it into my head that pretty much any fat is acceptable on keto, but I was just reading a thread on elitefitness and am now a bit confused. Somebody gave an example menu and asked if it was ok for keto. His menu was: 150g bacon 150g minced (ground) beef 4 eggs 90g whey 80g cheese 40g lettuce 20g peanut…
