Stalled :(
Hi guys, I've been doing keto for like 2 months now and I've been stalled for the last 2 weeks. Are 40-60g of carbs a day too high? Maybe I should cut back. Any suggestions?

Just Starting, looking for support and friends
I started trying to do the Keto Diet Tuesday After Memorial Day. I lost 8 pounds in 6 days (starting weight 208) and that included a big binge on Atkins bars. LOL. I made it 10 days and then I had an emotional weekend and had graham crackers, marshmallows, chips and salsa, Indian buffet and TCBY over Saturday and Sunday..…

Help with goals, new to keto
Hi all, I wonder if you could help me. I've just started eating right for keto today, been doing IF for a week, and wanted to change my eating while doing IF. So my question is about goals. I'm short, only 4'10", so I don't need too many calories for my little frame. I was eating 1200 but decided to up them to 1300 (not a…

Day 6 on keto
Have only lost 1 pound (but really lost 3 lbs) but when I look in the mirror and see how my clothes fit, I know something is happening. I have been drinking a lot of water too. I did go through some parts of the keto flu. Day 2 was the headaches and brain fog and through out, just sleepiness and fatigue. I know I am still…

Mayo
I know some people prefer to make fresh mayo but I just can't give up my beloved Hellman's Real Mayo. Maybe this is obvious or simplistic but I thought I'd share anyway that I use this mayo for all creamy sauces eg cheese sauce, garlic sauce etc. I can't believe I used to have all the hassle in my pre low carb/keto days of…

YAY! I'm down!!
I went for my weigh in this morning and I am down 2 lbs. I am very excited considering TOM is coming. I have PCOS and I am on medication for arthritis that is making it difficult to lose weight. I am very excited that Keto is working well for me. :smile:

Flexible Dieting by Lyle McDonald - and the Free Meal
Has anyone else read this? Some interesting ideas. The first and most simple idea is that of the "Free Meal". This is a single meal, once or twice a week, that breaks your diet. This is mostly psychological, so you don't have any sense of deprivation. The free meal ultimately will have little impact on your overall…

What is your favourite keto meal?
Hi folks... What is your most favourite keto-friendly meal? Mine would have to be my regular lunch - it used to be regular whole grain spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce. This is the next best thing! :-) Shirataki (tofu) spaghetti noodles, low carb spicy tomato sauce + 1 tablespoon of olive oil stirred in for extra…

Carne Picada Too much fat?
Hello everyone! I just got back on the Keto bandwagon (didn't give it a fair shake the first time and now I'm back with a partner in crime) and was wondering if anyone else has tried the Carne Picada (minced beef) from Walmart. It is very filling, but it puts me way over on my fats even though it has a ton of protein as…

Appetite?
I'm heading into my 5th day of keto, and I'm absolutely starving. I feel like I do nothing but eat. My intake is way high (1,700 - 2,000) every day now. Granted, I work a pretty physical job at a deli and I'm on my feet the entire time I'm there and I'm exercising too but still. I'm scared I'm going to gain weight. Is this…

Abnormally cold before/during a drop on the scale?
I've been a low carb convert for years but am attempting to follow a more keto-centered approach this time around for weight loss. I'm curious to know if anyone else experiences periodic feelings of intense cold while losing? Not cold all the time, but like cold "flashes" that chill from the inside out? I'm noticing this…

Keto and the stomach flu?
So I guess my daughter gave me her stomach bug. Even the thought of food makes me nauseated. But, with my Type 2 Diabetes I have to eat something. Any suggestions other than salami that might be better for me than Saltines. I tried a protein milk smoothie, but didn't get very far with that.

What do you do for exercise?
Open ended question time! I have lost some weight, but want to add some sort of fitness routine to help my muscle mass, lose faster, and look better. What do you do for fitness while you eat keto? I'd rather not join a gym in an effort to save money.

Things in my cart at the store.
So here I am, severely overweight but losing. When I go to the store, I add things like regular mayo, heavy whipping cream, bacon, eggs, and fresh (sometimes frozen) veggies to my cart. I see people look at me, look at my cart, look back at me, and get this "Oh, that explains it" look on their faces. You know, like they've…

Fat Bombs
Made my first fat bombs today! Used coconut oil, butter, peanut butter, 100% cocoa powder, dessicated coconut. No extra sweetener and fine. A nice treat and very useful. And, as if I needed a second treat, my husband wants to go low carb/maybe keto too!!!:happy:

Keto-Friendly Snacks
In addition to going very low carb/keto, I'm also limiting my carbs to 1450 - 1500 per day. Many of the snacks that I see are nuts, which are higher in calories. What do you use for lower calorie, keto-friendly snacks? Also, if you have any links for your favorite keto recipe sites, please share!
