Cholesterol levels
Has anyone here had their Cholesterol levels checked after being on KETO for a while? I am a newb in my 1st week of KETO, and am pretty stoked to see some weight finally falling off so quickly. I have been trying to be very meticulous about logging everything I eat since joining MFP on 8/13. Since starting KETO, my…

Cloudy Urine
Ever Since starting keto I'd have cloudy urine on & off. Recently it came back & it seems to only in the middle of the night. I don't believe it's a UTI & I have been drinking about 10 cups of water a day. Is it vitamins or protein I'm losing? idk does anyone know whats going on?

I'm scared..
In the past I have always done what I considered and what my coaches considered to be a ketogenic diet, but in reality it was high protein, moderate fats and low carbs. It did work but man was it dreadful, I did this same diet early this year and lost 25lbs in about 6weeks and I was happy with that but man, I was hating…

going in and out of keto.
I've only been doing the keto diet for two weeks now. I have questions about carbs and going in and out of keto. is it pretty seemless or does it confuse your body in any kind of bad way? Today is my birthday and I can't decide if I want to do a carby meal or not with some bread wine and cake. in the next week there will…

Pepperoni Chips
I know I'm far from the first one to post about these, but they are such a satisfying, crunchy Keto snack. Bake a layer of pepperoni slices at 425 for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through. Warning: I threw out the first batch I made in the toaster oven because they burned black well before the time was up, but who…
-
Tea
I like iced tea. Not hot tea so much. I like it plain and without sugar, although I occasionally like it with lemon. My question is, can this be a water substitute on keto, or do I need to drink more water to compensate for drinking tea as a water substitute? Also, is green, black, other, or no tea preferred? Thanks. :)

Is a fat fast right for me?
So I've been in ketosis for a while (strong breath & urine) & my weight has plateaued for the past 2-3 weeks. I feel a bit bloated probably water weight. My macros are 5% carb 30% Protein & 65% fat. Yes I drink plenty of water. Would a fat fast be appropriate for me to get my weight loss going again? What would you suggest.

Keto Food Logging Ratios
What do all of you have your Fat, protein and carb ratios set at on MFP? I'm just starting back on Keto again. I've done it before and managed to lose 60lbs but I was eating extremely clean, this time I want to get a little more creative and bring in some meats that aren't as lean as chicken breasts! I'm loving all of the…

Are my Goal settings right???
I have had a Bullet Proof Coffee this morning...that's all. I am set for 1200 cals/day. I'm almost out of FAT allowance! I'm not sure what to do to adjust my goals so my proportions are right P/F/C. I am not losing weight so I must need to adjust something. Will some of you "veterans" look this over for me? Thanks!!!

Had a piece of pizza
Only one though. Overall my net carbs will equal 40 for the day. I'm HOPING it won't throw me out of ketosis. Today was just a crappy day and my fiance wanted pizza. I decided to have one piece and I was mostly satisfied with it. I didn't "eat my feelings" though. But yea, do you think 40 net carbs will undo everything?…

Short Fat Fast
I'm just curious as to whether there would be any benefit in doing a one day fat fast say once per week - or is the three to five days cumulative effect that pushes you over into serious keto adaptation? I haven't heard anecdotally whether anyone has done individual days of fat fasting so wanted to see whether there might…

Still overeating despite high fat eating
On previous attempts I found the high fat diet blunted my appetite and I yelled its praises from the rooftops and lost pounds. However, I now find I am overeating meat/fat. I just don't seem to be able to stop myself. I feel ravenously hungry. This morning I cooked up a pound of minced beef with some onion, mushroom and…

Breakfast Explosion
I thought you guys might be interested in this.... This is a cross between a crustless quiche and a meatloaf. I had to come up with something keto-friendly while getting up at 3:30am to get to work on time. This is about 5 servings. If you are gluten-intolerant, you can sub out the flour for another thickener. Ingredients:…

Sick & need advice
So I've gotten a cold. Been sucking down water & broth in addition to food. I noticed I have been eating way more than usual, not because I feel hungry but I think out of comfort from being sick? I think I convince myself that when I'm sick I'm excused of any obligations/ restrictions (ex. I don't need to brush my hair or…

Introducing myself; Keto to combat IBS.
Hello fellow keto'ers. I recently found out I have IBS and I've been trying to cure my symptoms for a few months. I've tried all kinds of things and nothing seemed to work. I would always end up bloated and not having a good time in the bathroom. I learnt that IBS can be caused by a bad bacteria overgrowth in the gut and…
