if not for the High Fat on keto, i would never be able to stick to a weight loss plan at all. The fat is what makes me not hungry and allows for 'comfort' food and still be on plan. I have a food staple of ground beef with some flavoring(fajita seasoning most of the time). cook it up and stick it in the fridge. If I don't…

Q1: a carb is not always a carb, unless that is how you track it. This is the debate on net carbs vrs total carbs. I go by net( total carb - fiber). Others go by total. Veggies will have other nutrition that the same carb count of smarties will not give you. (Not to mention the other slew of reasons to not have straight…

I think it has to do with the carb counts... if you look at his list at the bottom, all of the 'eat freely' veggies have really low carb counts and all of the 'eat occasionally ' veggies has higher carb counts. If someone were following the diet without actually counting carbs, then it makes sense to me for him to…

They do look good. Maybe someone can test it out and let us know?

I add a 'food' called sugar alcohol with 1 fiber. Then I just add that food to my diary and increase the servings to match the number of sugar alcohols in what I ate. Then I just subtract the fiber from the total.

It reminded me of another thread concerning the bad press out there for 'low carb' diets and how it keeps people from trying it. I smile that someone rebranded it to appeal to someone like my mom. I'm just happy she is doing it, I don't care what she wants to call it.

The name of it and that the book gives scripture references that support the diet.

Being low carb for years is fine. Being Keto for years is fine too. Do you track your food? Some people end up accidentally eating more than they think they are and tracking it for a few days let's them see it. Are you at a healthy weight for your body frame or close to it? You won't loss much each month if you are. Have…

@Zuzurillo what was your TSH level? I don't see it above.

@RalfLott the number one cause of stones is dehydration. Since Keto can dehydrate if someone is unaware of fluid requirements, then yes. For me, I was someone who was constantly dehydrated but didn't really notice. Keto made it worse(since I let my dehydration get worse) and I got a stone. Was it Keto? I say no. It was my…

My understanding is that they are. I know that my cramps directly correlated with the test(taken every two hours) while in the hospital. I get the test done every two months now. I need to stay in the low end of the normal range. If I get in the high range, I am prone to kidney stones. It is a tightrope walk. I have been…

Have you had your calcium levels checked? Electrolyte issues are the first thing to rule out with this WOE. But..., when I had my thyroid removed, my parathyroid glands were damaged and caused my calcium levels to drop I got calf cramps that had me begging for pain Meds(I was in the hospital for a week because of the…

Fiber can make constipation worse. It does for me. Some people use a certain kind of magnesium to get things moving. I thought that there are a couple of threads about this....

It also depends on how overweight you are. If you are close to goal weight then you wouldn't get a big woosh like someone who has 100+ to lose.
-
I also suggest a trip to an endocrinologist. That is a large shift without medicine adjustments to blame for it and given that the neurologist could tell it was swollen, that is another reason to get it checked by the endo.
-
What article?
-
I had my thyroid removed because of thyroid cancer. Was yours swollen or did it have nodules? What timeframe did you go from 5.6 to .52? That was with no thyroid replacement?

@KnitOrMiss so... 'It also means you’ll have a hard time absorbing fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins D, E, A and K. ' guess that is why I am chronically low on vit d... why would no doctor put that together?
-
@KnitOrMiss now I'm wondering how much of the fat I eat actually gets digested.... and counted as calories that I consumed.

I have no issues with high fat < 20 carbs a day concerning my gallbladder being gone. Lettuce actually upsets my bowels though(go figure). I didn't do Keto right after my surgery (didn't know about it) but I'd did SAD within a week and that had high fat stuff. The first week, I went easy on the fats.
-
LOL I wish. We are in an RV while we fix our house(that is a long story). Ok, dinner was not on plan. I was still good on calories for the day but not on carbs. Not enough sleep and I didn't eat much for breakfast and lunch. Bad day work... so, I must eat more in the first part of the day to avoid temptation at dinner with…

My husband is making dinner.. he is cooking rolls... I want one so bad my mouth is watering.. evil evil evil... I am doing the head game.. justifying like an addict... I'm sure someone can relate.

doesn't make sense to me... a lower heart rate is supposed to mean good cardiovascular health as long as you are feeling fine (edema, not able to move, fainting, etc would be a major cause of concern). my go to guide for calories and macros is keto calculator.. https://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

@elize7 I have to do one thing at a time and because weight loss is 95% what I eat, I started with food. I am breaking the emotional eater dysfunction and know that if I set up too many 'goals' at once that I won't be able to succeed... and then fail... feel like a failure... and am forcing myself into a situation to…

Day 4 done and nothing but success. I'm so thrilled. Two dinners out and neither time did I make a not good decision on food.
