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…

Do you eat peanuts??
I just read, for the second time (the first time I read it, I was in denial), that peanuts are not healthy. I love peanuts. I love organic peanut butter. Apparently, it's not very healthy. http://thepaleodiet.com/nut-fatty-acid-composition/ "One nut that you should not include in your diet is peanuts. Peanuts are not nuts,…

Need reminder
Hi all, sorry to be such a noob, but just want a reminder again why I need to go on keto? Don't mean to sound like a troll, but I guess the "calories in calories out" is so stuck in my mindset that even though I have been reading extensively on keto (on here, on bodybuilding.com, on reddit, etc.) sometimes I still forget…

How much will I gain when I cheat?
So we see this question now and then. I was reading through Primal Blueprint, and he addresses it pretty well. Let's just say that you have been going strong on keto for a while, and have no glycogen in your body. You then eat a bunch of carbs. How much will you gain? How much is water weight? So your muscles store carbs…

Pumpkin Custard - It's a vegetable, a treat, & yummy!
I've been making this pumpkin custard regularly. They don't last long because they get eaten morning, noon & nite. Very easy to make & awesome source of Vitamin A. I make them in silicon muffin cups & get 12 servings. To add to deliciousness, top with a teaspoon or so of roasted (in butter) pecans & whipped cream. I'm…

For the girls only
Ok, so I am hoping the guys shy away from this, but probably not. So I'll just ask what I need to ask. I've been on keto faithfully for 5 days now. I feel overall pretty good and am avoiding most keto "flu" symptoms except for slight fatigue. My diary is open to friends if you want to check it out. Yes, I've been over on…

Started a new job. Water weight gain galore! WTF?
It's a pretty active job. I'm doing replenishment for Michael's Craft store. For five hours, I'm walking around the store putting things on shelves, picking up boxes that can be a bit heavy, putting them down, pulling U-boats with a crapload of merch on them. I'm on my feet the whole time. I put on the pedometer portion of…

monitor sodium on Keto
Can't believe I'm sitting here drinking salted water. Well, spring water with 1/2 tsp sea salt. I started cramping up terribly last night, so I jumped on google and was reminded that when in ketosis, a person must get plenty of sodium. That's hard to do when you eat mostly unprocessed foods. Anyway, I drank salt water last…

My current regime
I posted this on the "successes" board on 28th August and not ONE person has even commented. I guess <yawn> that this is because most people don't want to hear about keto successes. Being rather disappointed that, after I spent so long writing the posting, it was ignored, I decided to re-post on the keto board.…

Insulin response to chewing?
Hi This is going to make me sound mental, but for a few years I have struggled with EDs, I'm largely fine now but one of the things I used to do was chew things up and spit them out. At its worst i would do this with practically everything i ate and the thought of properly eating a whole meal freaked me out. at the time my…
