Coincidentally after reading your post saw this video at Dietdoctor.com https://www.dietdoctor.com/member/interviews/moore I think you have to be a member to see the videos but the basic premise was this man had lost over 100 lbs on low carb then started gaining back weight although he continued to keep his carb intake…

I am curious also to here the response as I have plateaued after about a 35 lb loss. Personally, I know I can’t have any artificial sweeteners not even stevia as it messes up my weight loss. I am at 6% carbs (20g net), 29% protein (100g) and 65% fat (99g). I lowered my fat from 70% which lowered my calories to my current…

My first time on Keto I lost handfuls of hair but it was also low fat and low carb. Lost weight fast but felt crappy. This time I have not noticed hair loss. Eating very low carb but lots of fat and protein. Also hair loss is very often hormone driven so pregnancy, menopause, stress, and other things that affect hormones…

Last week ... Mon 35 min riding lesson Tues 75 min yoga Wed 60 weights class Thurs 120 min yoga Fri zilch Sat zilch Sun zilch Another rough week. Asthma kicked in big time. Went to Emergency and got drugs and a new inhaler but still horrible chest cough and of course it is worse when I lie down ... so no sleeping. This…

It is frustrating I know. Just stick with it. Be sure to track your carbs and keep them within your limits .... 20g or 50g etc. It is amazing how carbs sneak in if we aren’t tracking and measuring. For me I also have to stay on top of my elytes and water or I stop losing. We are all different and this woe is a great way to…

I too have struggled with my weight since high school. I started Keto last July. Lost 35lbs hunger free thru to November. Consciously chose to go off Keto for a Christmas and gained 13 lbs in two weeks. I went back to Keto to lose weight but the epiphany for me was how horrible I felt after 2 weeks of carbs. My weight loss…

I had switched out to “natural” bacon without nitrates but when we went Keto discovered these had 3 to 4 g of carbs per serving. So we do the nitrate version again but very rarely hav bacon because of it. Is it possible to do nitrate and carb free? If so, my grocer doesn’t carry it.

Last week ... Mon 35 min riding lesson Tues 75 min yoga Wed 60 weights class Thurs 120 min yoga Fri zilch Sat zilch Sun zilch Rough week as I caught a bug that started Monday night and built thru the week. Lots of sneezing and coughing. My husband is concerned as it sounds like I have fluid in my lungs so going to emerge…

I buy a head and chop it up then rice in blender after washing. Takes 5 min tops. For a full head I use 2-3 tbsp coconut oil w cumin and turmeric - about 1 tsp each plus salt and pepper. Totally yum. Also do a Thai version w curry. Equally yum.

I just had to add to my post above in that I will continue with this woe w or w/o weight loss as it can make you feel so much better which is so very true for me. However, it pays to stick w it for whatever reason. Finally lost some weight again - 2 lbs since last Thurs (4 days). I love how I feel but really enjoy the…

@Sabine_Stroehm - I have been w her about 10 years. She moved away a couple of years ago and I tried about 5 different instructors, none of whom cld match her enthusiasm, knowledge, passion, etc. Thankfully, so many former students kept in touch that she now commutes and leads the two classes I now attend. Thank God…

Monday - horseback riding - dressage lesson Tuesday - 75 min flow yoga class + tuneup balls Wednesday - 60 min weight/fitness class followed by stretching Thursday - 120 min yoga class - flow, tuneup and Yin Friday - long hike outdoors 60+ min Several times a week do squats, planks and 7-way hips at home. My yoga…

I have a couple and have my fave go to recipes but usually I just google. Eg for tonite I took out a pork roast and thought I wld use the slow cooker so googled that and it took me to a recipe at dietdoctor.com. Easy breezy. But sometimes it is fun to scroll through Keto cookbooks or recipes on a Keto site to get new ideas…

Good luck. Figure out your macros, eat real food and off you go.

Last week ... Mon zilch Tues 75 min yoga Wed 60 weights class Thurs 120 min yoga Fri 30 min workout/yoga at home Sat zilch Sun 60 min walk outside at 3mph Still sore ... knee and hip ... but can pretty much do anything I want/need to.. Tomorrow ... first riding lesson since surgery!!!!! Excited but nervous. First ride is…

When I create a new recipe I add everything manually to make sure the macros are correct. In the title of the recipe I put the web address so I have quick access to the entire recipe.

If I don't drink, I don’t lose. I fill my jug and keep it on the counter - 64 oz. plus 3-4 soda water plus 4-5 black coffee and maybe 2 plain tea. But like I said if I skip the jug of water I don’t lose ... might even gain. We are all different :)

I lost 35 lbs from July 3 to Dec. Last two weeks of Dec I consciously decided to enjoy Christmas. I had some sweets but Margaritas and Caresars and red wine at all the functions really added up. By Dec 30 I had gained 13 lbs. The real epiphany for me though was how awful I felt and how sore my joints and old injuries were.…

Pork rinds as a snack. Lifesaver especially as mentioned above, at the movies where popcorn beckons

I’m jealous of anyone who can have sweetened Keto treats. For me it is a slippery slope so I just stay away which is actually not a hardship. Once in a while I allow myself a bite but very rarely. Saturday we were at friends for dinner and she prepared an amazing bread pudding with whiskey sauce. My husband who is not a…

If we go out for dinner, I NEED red wine. If I stick to one 5-6 oz glass I am ok BUT if I have the 2nd one it messes up my weight loss for the coming week. Sometimes it’s just hard not to get that 2nd glass. I have tried to switch to vodka but it just isn’t the same.

Last week was my first week halfway back after surgery Mon zilch Tues 75 min yoga Wed 60 weights class Thurs 120 min yoga And that was it for the week. Leg was definitely sore after sitting around for 2 weeks and especially my left hip and calf although I actually had knee surgery. Everything is connected. Start back…

<3 <3 <3 :) <3

Thanks for asking. Back to everything this week - yoga and workouts and chores - but he asked me to wait another week or two before riding. Will see how I do w everything else this week and then decide when to ride. But definitely back in the saddle by March 5

Feeling better I hope. I start back to yoga Tues (Wed trainer and Thurs more yoga) but surgeon said to wait another week or two before riding. Will see how my workouts go this week then back to riding Feb 26 or March 5. Spring isn’t far away.

Lost my *kitten* at Christmas. Allowed myself a few treats and it turned into a slippery slope. Felt extremely yucky later. I did pretty much as @jazzb9363 said above. Pretty much ignored my calories, went extremely LC and high fat incl lots of Mct oil in my coffees. Back in ketosis in about 5 days and felt 100% better…

I love coffee. Went cold turkey and started only drinking it black. I drank less for a while but now I prefer it black but occasionally treat myself to an afternoon cup w Cream. I no longer use any sugars or sweeteners and honestly feel better for it. Good luck. Whi can live without a good cup of java .... not me.

Wed I see surgeon and will hopefully get a date I can start back.

Ride on. I am still sitting post surgery. See surgeon Wed and hoping to get an idea when I can start back. Very bored and cabin fever has arrived. I will live vicariously thru yr posts.

Listen to your body. From my own personal experience, if you are following plan and are Keto adapted but are tired (esp muscle tired) and/or sluggish, yr body is looking for something which cld be salt and/or magnesium and/or potassium and/or something else entirely ... even a good nap. If you are tired and try to up yr…
