I found that the different brands/type of stevia taste completely different. I like Truvia in my coffee and stevia drops in my iced tea. I'm using Swerve in my baking.

He said that it was the texture.

I think I may just have to do 'his' and 'mine'.... or just mine. the chocolate crust for my no bake cheesecake tonight was so good, my 7 year old ate the crust he didn't eat with finger-licking delight.

Meatballs. I had them for dinner tonight. They save well. Hard boiled eggs -- good by themselves or mixed up as egg salad

in addition to the wonderful tips above, here is the keto calculator to help nail down the total calories and the total protein grams. http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

LOL

Don't you have to have a special kitchen tool for the zoodles? I was thinking of getting one closer to the summer and use my parent's over abundance of fresh zucchini for them.

Wow! Loving the info. Thanks guys!

and being a logic based person, I think it would be cool if we could track the data . Spreadsheet with pounds lost per week and then indicators of data points that would be interesting to see what the results are.

I saw some fat bomb recipes with it.

I'm upping the sodium to see if that helps. I just got done drinking a coffee with 1/2 tsp pink salt added to it. I am putting extra salt on everything I eat. How do you track your sodium intake? measure it before you put on your food? I see the range, what is it 2000- 5000? Other than what shows up in the MFP tracking, I…

'Fat Bombs' are amazing to help get the fat % up without additional protein.

I don't have enough experience to answer that question. May I suggest that you post another discussion with a title that will get the pros to help you out? 'Looking for protein macro advice for stall ' maybe? If you track your diet in MFP, it helps for the more seasoned people to look at it. If not, you might want to…

Anyone have any cookbooks they recommend?

The calculator has input for activity levels.

Have you used the keto calc? http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ I think this group showing me that calculator is going to be the biggest part of my success. I tried Atkins about 10 years ago. I know now it didn't work so well for me after a month because I was eating too much protein.

Yummy

I was hoping to increase total electrolytes without having to take any more pills. This seemed like it addressed all/most? Of the minerals that need to be supplemented for the Keto flu.

I am hypothyroid as well. I actually have hoshimoto's and am dealing with thyroid cancer. one big thing, be consistent with when the meds are taken. I take mine at night two hours after any food and no calcium rich stuff in four hours. Coffee impacts absorption as well. A lot of people take it first thing in the morning,…

I'm eating a whole pickle a day and putting more salt on my food than I used to.

I feel pretty good. Not hungry, which is great! the parmesan sounds really good on the chicken. I'll try that this week. I have 91 pounds to lose or from a size 22 to size 8, which ever comes first. :-) If I don't track my food, I think I would end up overeating my proteins(which would then kick me out of ketosis). I did…

I saw a bariatric doctor once. He said that a high percentage of people that get the surgery end up having their gallbladder out. I never got the surgery. I did have my gallbladder out two years ago. I am day 7 on LCHF. No issues other than the ones I've had since day one. (Lettuce bugs me). My gallbladder was removed due…

check out the keto calculator. I found it to be amazing. http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ I had no idea about the proteins kicking you out of ketosis if you have too many of them and it gives you minimum to make sure you don't lose muscle.

Everyone's weight loss will be different. How much weight are you looking to lose? The closer you are to your goal weight, the slower the weight loss. Have you used the keto calculator?
