Hello and welcome! I suggest you check out the following low carb daily forum group. It's one of many LCHF/Keto friendly groups here in in MFP where most of us Ketophiles tend to hang out: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group…

@Libmatos ...be aware that Cream of Tartar is also high in carbs, just fyi. :#

There is a recipe builder and a my foods feature in MFP where you can actually "Creat a food" or add a recipe. You just scan the bar-codes of the ingredients and plug in the amount you used, tell MFP how many serving you expect to get out of it, and it will tell you the rest.

After looking through about a week and a half of your food diary, I personally think your slight weight gain has more to do with your jump in carbs from what seems like your normal 20-30g/carbs per day to 50-70g/carbs per day. I would lose the medjool dates (pretty much no nutritional value because they are literally all…

Also Google Dr. Shawn Baker.

Am in agreement with the these two as well!! :*

You are so preaching to the choir here!! I read labels like crazy but just this past week-end, I couldn't believe what I did. I picked up four 1-pound tubes of beef to make a triple recipe of scotch eggs, and when I checked the label on after I'd already put the recipe together, I discovered that the Beef had SOY in it (I…

If you don't like salad, don't eat it. Save your carb allotment for something else that you DO enjoy eating.

Currently doing a carnivore keto challenge with a co-worker and my boss fur the duration of this month. Still haven't made up my mind about it but perhaps that's because I'm failing at it. Haven't given up yet and will continue to try anew each day for the remainder of the challenge.

If it's brown sugar, use this (Golden Lakanto): https://www.lakanto.com/collections/sweeteners/products/50-off-golden-monkfruit-1-1-sugar-substitute-800-g

Get into the kitchen and make yourself some homemade low carb treats...brownies, cookies.... whatever it is you are craving. The simplest way to kill a craving is to feed it. Just do it wisely. Feed you craving my giving your sweet tooth "healthy" treats that taste deliciously sinful yet won't derail your LCHF progress.…

Thanks for sharing the link @wabmester. I forwarded it on to a couple of friends of mine who have NAFLD so whenever I come across info like this I pass it on to them!

You're welcome @dgreene37!

@2t9nty...I understand where you are coming from. I gave my body much longer than I really wanted to but in hindsight I'm really glad I did. By about the 3rd year I was starting to get a little nervous myself, but I pressed on and decided to give it one more year before throwing in the towel with respect to cholesterol…

No problem @bametels! You're welcome.

I hate to be the negative nellie here but trying to stick to a triple low diet Low calorie Low carbs Low fat is unsustainable in the long run as @midwesterner85 already pointed out above. Your energy has to come from somewhere and you are limiting not just one, but ALL sources of that energy. :# That said, any kind of…

No problem @Jacqgh777. You are welcome!

Yes, the more weight you lose, the more stores cholesterol is released back into the bloodstream and I lost a total of 167 pounds! Here's a little 4 minute video for you by Dr. Stephen Phinney which explains why this happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNfjkTyBUdQ

Also not trying to jinx you here but often times if you end up losing a significant amount of weight it can take the body what to us seems like an inordinately loooooooooooooong *kitten* time to normalize. I speak from experience. Took me 22.5 months to lose the weight and another 1-1.5 years for my body to finish getting…

@Shannonigans84 ...just fyi, yes, xylitol does indeed spike blood sugar. Swerve, which is an erythrito-basedl sugar-substitute, does not. Here;s an interesting little video of the Keto Connect couple testing several of the more popular sugar-substitutes on themselves over the course of a couple of weeks and their results:…

Nuts, seeds and nut/seed butters can also be a good source of protein. Cheese is also a good source of protein and there are so many kinds. Quark, for example, is a creamy cheese which can easily be subbed for yogurt.

Seems to me as previously suggested, that zero carb (or carnivore keto) may be a good fit for you. Consider trying it for 30 days and take notes as to any improvements re the IBS issues or not to help you decide one way or the other.

Besides which both protein and fat help most people feel full and satiated!
