You bump up a thread from months ago when you were active... When you get leg cramps every morning you forget to take your magnesium tablets before you go to sleep. First time taking tablets, and it has helped so much with leg cramps.

https://www.maebells.com/keto-pepperoni-pizza-bites/ Anyone ever try something like this? I just purchased coconut flour from Amazon and it came today! These also look super easy to make and I can skip the dipping sauce. They are small in size, but at 1 net carb each> I can have 4-5 easily with a nice salad or something. I…

I saw a little video on FB this morning, different person but same recipe. Looks really doable and yummy.

I like bacon with avacado inside a leaf of romaine lettuce for a quick out the door snack, or meal if I eat 3-4 of them... The sodium is great. I really like turkey bacon, which helps me keep the calories down and eat 3-4. =)

I do sometimes taste small amounts of what I cook, like the one noodle or a small taste. But if it is only once I don't worry about it. There are foods now that I ask my hubbie to dish up, like ice cream. Or other chocolate type foods to divide up between himself and the kids. My nemesis is anything potato. I made a potato…

Since the beginning of March I have gone off for 2 meals. One a banquet where they served pasta and more pasta and once where there we had these new chocolates I really wanted to try, so I did... then tried them again... After both experiences, I had bloating and a good reminder of why I eat Keto. Once I am close to…

I am USA west coast and I too enjoy Grocery Outlet. They are so hit and miss with their foods, but I often get great finds there; esp nuts, lunch meat, frozen foods and real food items. I usually just shop there and make a meal plan around what I find. I have been pretty solid Keto since the beginning of March, and this…

When you eat a polish dog for breakfast and are excited to have 1k sodium under your belt for the day.

Back from 2 weeks of RVing, just estimating carbs and paying attention to sodium. Limited food choices helped and having plenty of keto friendly meats. I think I reheated a kirkland polish dog for breakfast each morning the second week. =) HW- 270 (3/1/19) SW for July- 245 CW- 239ish

Welcome to all the new keto people! Starting July at around 245 lb. Leaving soon for 2 weeks of RV camping. If I loose 1 pound a week I will be happy. Always hoping for more, but being realistic. Gone almost 3 weeks in July and 2 kids birthdays and at other people's houses. Overall goal for July is 6 lbs loss, but anything…

Lost about 6 lbs this month! Lots of weird late nights and odd eating times. Theater performances the last 2 weeks. 3 oz of almonds for dinner etc... Going camping for the next 2 weeks, really RVing so there are more food options. Feels like I am planning well so far but we will see when i get back! Planning on counting…

I just read your post on the success thread then see it here too! Happy to give it a second read and let you know it is inspiring. I was also glad to see a keto success story that was told graciously from your own perspective. Hope you only get positive messages from the forum!

Was reading the backpacking link mentioned above and was surprised at this... Nut Butter Supreme You’re one spoonful away from quick and easy energy! Remove half the peanut butter or almond butter from a 16 oz jar and replace with two sticks of butter (a stick is 4 oz) and mix! The butter adds calories while diluting…

You become a food snob. You stop and think about what you eat first and often things are just not worth it. Also I no longer feel slightly "guilty" about having just me foods in the house. The kids have foods I am not eating that they love, so it is the same thing for my little stash. Yes, I do share from time to time. But…

My goals for June are just beginning/mini goals. 1 mile walk at least 5 times a week, working up to 2 mile walks by the end of the month. If I make my kids walk then I should as well. =) I did have physical therapy on my right knee about a year ago, so with being careful I would like to strengthen those muscles in…

Greetings. Getting back on the exercise wagon and Leslie has always been a favorite. In fact, we purchase her monthly subscription which gives access to so many walking videos. I have 3 girls turning 12,15, and 17 this summer. Our charter school is a mainly a home school program so I have been utilizing the power walking…

Hello Fellow Keto People. Wishing you all the very best this June. Back at keto again after too long a break. 2-3 months in now and looking to make this June work for me. My husband and 3 girls are in a community production of Beauty and the Beast at the end of the month, so I have been trying to prep healthy foods for us…

My top level is 35 net carbs, but usually hit 15-20 net carbs a day.

When you swap out your morning coffee/tea for a cup of beef broth with 1 tbsp HWC.

When you have albacore with mayo on lettuce and the romaine tastes slightly sweet. Lettuce can be sweet?

The food choices are great. I tend to get bored with cooking and preparing foods. My tendency to fall off plan is when I am hungry and I don't want to cook anything. I guess what I am saying is that it is essential for me to have access to quick meals. I just have to make sure I have the food in the house/pantry and a list…

Greetings fellow keto people. Just checking in. Finally got a new phone yesterday so am counting calories/macro again. Went the first 3 weeks of keto by feel, which was a good experiment. On my old phone whenever I logged onto the MFP app, my phone spazzed out and powered down... I was active here a year ago with success,…

When you have a headache and you would normally reach for tylenol, but instead make a glass of ketoade...

Bertolli Alfredo sauce becomes your new best friend... 1/4 to 1/2 cup over cooked veggie with meat makes a delicious addition. One bottle has lasted about 7 meals. When you look more at carbs than prices when picking food items, carbs first, then see if I can live with the price.

Not sure why I am surprised, but salt in black tea us also really good. I just use hwc, so it cuts that bitter aftertaste down to nothing. Thanks keto people.

Anyone try to add salt to black tea? Been having black tea with HWC and wondered if salt would taste good. Guess I will try it tomorrow, unless i hear a big negative from here first.

Easter! When you realize you have been thinking of real eggs instead of the cadbury variety...

When you are not afraid to eat FOUR eggs at a meal...

I love RiverGoddess recipe for keto shake. I will probabaly look up similar recipes for when I dont have cooked or ready meat protein and am in hurry, or sick, or... IS there a thread already where people share their keto friendly protein powder brands and/or "shake powder"? Dont want to cover old ground if this has been…

Just wanted to give a thanks for the topical Mag reminder. I rubbed in the oil on my hamstrings last night before bed and am happy to report the first morning in 4 days where I did not wake up with a Charlie horse! I have been keeping my sodium up around 3.5-4kish, and just one week back with the keto program. Really just…
