I was diagnosed with PCOS at 26, had a complete hysterectomy in June 2014, still suffering from PCOS and related weight gain, suffer from metabolic syndrome and pre-diabetes. Got a new Dr in December and he changed my life. I had tried everything (I thought) to lose weight, slimquik, hydroxycut, atkins, weight watchers,…

what about fat bombs? They are my go to late night snack, here's my favorite http://ketodietapp.com/Blog/post/2014/08/20/Strawberry-Cheesecake-Fat-Bombs

Thank you all for your informative answers. I am new to the keto diet and had never heard of keto strips until reading about them on a post here. I ordered them along with my almond and coconut flour in hopes of transitioning into a keto diet with ease. The coconut and almond flour haven't been all that they were cracked…

Also, I am a snack food junkie so I have been experimenting with keto snack food recipies to try to keep my cravings down.

Feel free to add me, I am new as well and shooting for 20g or less per day. I try to log every time I put something in my mouth so that 1) I don't forget, 2) I know where I am always so I don't try to log it all at once only to find out that I went way over.

20g or less per day. Most of my carbs come from supper, my biggest meal of the day because I have to cook for our family. Heck I hit 5g first thing in the morning when I take my vitamins, usually at 10g by supper time and that meal usually makes up 10 or less for me. That number easily puts me in ketosis, I hope to be able…

yes I am positive my ovaries were removed, I saw my pathology report.

I was mainly suprised with how many carbs are in everything I used to eat! Low carb is new to me and I never paid attention before because I didn't struggle with my weight until this past year, when I committed to low carb I was shocked at how many carbs I had been taking in. I used to be a hard core Coke drinker, I easily…

I try to do 25 or less carbs a day. Looked at my vitamins today and between my multi vitamin and fiber supplement there are 4 net carbs....thats a lot when you can only have 25. I do take the gummie vitamins though because any other kind has always upset my stomach, I'm sure the non gummy vites have much less.

I found this post through a link you supplied on on of my other questions, so thanks a ton! Before I started LCHF dieting I did monthly meal planning through a website. I have to travel an hour to Walmart, but do it once every two weeks because our local store is crazy expensive and very low on selection. Anyway, when I…

Thank you so much for your response. I am definately going to try a cup of broth a day to help replace electrolytes and I started vitamins today! I understand that low blood sugar is sort of the goal, and with keto you want the body to have to use stored fat for energy, I just felt that 45 was dangerously low and I felt…

tested with HA1C, also tracked blood glucose for two weeks by taking 6 times per day. H1AC was 5.9 Most pre and post meal rapid tests were within normal ranges, morning or fasting was always above 115. The Dr is an Ob/Gyn and he said that I had impaired fasting glucose and with the PCOS, my symptoms, and test result that I…

Thank you, I will check out those groups, as far as a specialist goes, I would love that option,however I live in very rural Kansas, 4.5 hours away from any kind of specialist. The gyn travels to my small town once every three months to see patients. I am not seeking medical advice here, just trying to see if anyone else…

I was upset that I had to pop the glucose tablets but my sugar was dangerously low, it was a last resort, I had rid my home of simple sugars so I had no other options. I am trying the keto diet but it is very hard. I have to cook for three children and a husband. My husband is supporting me completely so that is helpful.…
