Welcome Michele! I’m just returning after a hiatus as well. Enjoy your summer vacation!
-
I know this is an older post but wondering if anyone has tried these? I figure with summer coming might be a nice treat once in awhile?

Not sure why that massive bottle of lemon juice is front and centre! 😀

I seem to be plateauing? On paper my calories should put me into a weight loss position but I think I need to get more accurate with my tracking as I tend to guesstimate my portion sizes quite a bit. Any recommendations for a good (inexpensive) food scale if such a thing exists?! SD: Jan 2,2019 / SW: 156lbs /GW: 130lbs…

What’s really helped me is focusing on the many positives that have come as a result of my change in eating habits... the increased energy, improvement in mood, greatly reduced migraines! I do miss some of my high carb/sugar treats too and there are times when I will allow myself some (I AM going to eat cake on my birthday…

When you do the happy dance because they have a wicked sale on avocados! 🥑

You are trying not to make a scene or a huge mess as you fumble with your flimsy lettuce wrapped burger at your favorite fast food place!

I know we’re talking salt here but an additional way to elevate your coffee to the next level is to add a dash of cinnamon in the grounds. Amazing!

Good morning all! A bit late to the party this month but better late than never I guess? Ended March at 143 lbs, inching forward toward my goal. Definitely still in the low carb zone, but a few months into Keto I’m starting to get bored of my tried and true Keto-friendly snacks and straying a bit and I don’t like the…

Wow, this month kind of flew by!! Overall just down two pounds this month but I am feeling so much better. Just more energy. I do have a question for anyone that has asthma or other breathing issues. Have you found Keto really helps? I find that I don’t get “wheezy” and rely on my puffer nearly as often? And when I fall…

“GimMe Snacks” teriyaki flavoured dried seaweed. I like the crunch and salty-sweet flavour. Basically 0 carbs and low cal!

Feeling a bit discouraged by the weight gain but I know it happens sometimes and can be due to many factors. I know I had a few days of carb creep and for some reason I was really struggling with feeling hungry this week. I’ve been trying to “move” more throughout my work days and a couple of my coworkers have been…

Weather has finally turned for the better here so it’s been good to get outside and walk a bit! That’s helped the mood immensely! 4 lbs down this week which I’m guessing is a bit of a water flush as I’ve also been making myself drink more water. I struggle with that! Hope everyone has a great week! SD: Jan 2,2019 / SW:…

I can do all 6 flights of stairs now from the parkade at work to my floor without being winded. I used to sometimes have to stop partway to rest. I’ve also broken the elevator habit and now actually favour the stairs!

Happy Sunday Everyone! It was a good week! I stayed “mostly Keto” except for a couple of little blips but I’m proud that I am able to pick myself up and keep going! I’m starting to settle in a bit more and get a bit more adventurous with my eating. My strawberry Keto muffins in the oven baking smell divine! 💕 That said I…

Start of month 3! Overall feeling good but have been slacking with my food diary and as a result I’ve become a bit lax. I need to track more as when I don’t I really struggle with portion control and also mindless eating... standing at the island popping copious amounts of roasted almonds into my mouth! SD: Jan 2,2019 /…

Breakfast eater here! Usually some version of eggs with either cheese, avocado, cherry tomatoes, bacon or ham and of course coffee with a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream. I don’t find it makes me hungrier as I can usually go till early afternoon when I eat a light lunch. For me, it’s always been my morning ritual. It’s…

I doubt these are under 150 cals but here are a few snacks I’ve enjoyed ..Celery sticks with peanut butter (watch the brand you buy) or whipped cream cheese, pepperoni sticks, green pepper strips, broccoli or cauliflower with guacamole, chia pudding with almond milk or coconut milk, smoked oysters or mussels, a few…

I copy and paste from my previous weeks post and update. I can’t speak to the spreadsheet as the app was giving me issues so I gave up! 🤔
-
Hang in there!! You’re logging here now which is an important step for both accountability and also to remember why you’re on this Keto path! I do agree though it is hard while traveling to keep the motivation going!
-
Just returned from a week of vacation which was quite hard to stick with my Keto plan on.. this is where the whole “way of eating vs. diet” thing is helping me keep things in perspective. In the past I would have said, “Well, I blew it”, and likely given up but I’m determined to carry on! Even though I didn’t do as well as…
-
A bit of a late check in but ready for Feb! I’m proud of my progress so far, but my biggest struggle is daily temptations at work, “Hey, we’re grabbing Vietnamese, you in?!” Ack, that one is a particularly hard one to: a) say no to b) find something Keto friendly once I have failed at point a above!! 😩 I did decide to buy…

If I look at the “nutrients” tab versus just macros tab it shows you fibre and carbs. I subtract the fibre from the carbs to get the net carbs. It took me awhile to check both tabs and I couldn’t figure out how to get lower carbs even though I was eating very strictly
-
I had a bad week too.., let the fact that I was attending out of town meetings be an excuse to “reward” myself. What I came to realize is that it really wasn’t a reward.. my cravings and inability to portion control came back with a vengeance and now I’m paying with lack of energy and crankiness. I’m back in the wagon…

Thank you for all the replies! I have some good ideas to try! Things aren’t horribly out of whack, I think I just need to tweak a bit!

I found one called Suzie’s Good Fats at both Sobey’s and Save-On. Several of them say “Keto approved” at the top. They are very high fiber which knocks down the net carbs significantly.
-
Berries! I know they’re technically allowed but the portion sizes to keep them in check are so small. It’s almost like a tease! 😩
-
Sustained energy throughout the day, better hydration due to drinking a ton more water, no migraines, WAY less tummy issues! All wins in my book!!

I’m really new to this so am not a great one to comment, but I do feel generally more happy overall and got through my normal “witching period” much easier this month! Part of it I think is the feeling that I am making some positive changes for myself and also that my normal migraines have diminished so significantly.
