Full fat yoghurt, with a couple of berries, if you can. Make the fathead crackers, eat plain. Chicken broth with little pieces of chicken in it. Or even try a short fast like 18:6?

Wonderful post, I really needed this today.

I get a really itchy scalp every 2 days or so and have been using anti dandruff shampoo. Just recently switched to normal shampoo and rinsing with 1/2 water 1/2 ACV. MAGIC!! I don't use conditioner and it settles down my itchy scalp. I am going to try the No-Poo method with the ACV rinse and see how that goes. Also rinsing…

That's looks delish! I am going to make it, just need all the ingredients. Got bacon.

Great job! You can really notice the difference

Thanks @KnitOrMiss - I just grabbed a whole lot :)

I agree with @KnitOrMiss - if its from non starchy veges and you are not over by too much, I wouldn't worry about it.

That is Amazing!! Good on You :)

@Cadori and @moonlights and @pwrfl1 - great weight loss! Congrats to all of you :) You guys are doing so well. I am finally back in ketosis, it took 5 days but here I am, Yay! I was really tired yesterday which is not good for me and I over ate but at least I didn't go over my carbs. Going our for dinner with friends…

@retirehappy - would you please share the link for the low carb keto diet? I googled it and got about 1 million choices! I'm a NZer and would love some local recipes.

When you eat ALL the crackling off the roast pork yourself and don't feel bad about it. Yum, I reckon I could eat it everyday.

@vilenski193 - yes, you can post everyday if you want to, especially if you think that will help keep you on track or if you have some struggles. I do daily logging as I have to keep an eye on my protein intake, it can creep up very easily. I do keto and my diary is open. Good luck to you :) Also just wanted to mention…

I find taking a probiotic or two helps me when I'm feeling queasy. I am eating a lot of coconut oil and this in turn does give me reflux and a upset tummy. I am thinking to get some lard and try that instead.

Thanks @coopscoopc! We can do this! Yes we can live without cake and biscuits and chocolate. For me also I am trying not to eat dairy as I have a sneaking suspicion that it's making me feel sick and I may actually be dairy intolerant. Although I am so addicted to cheese I have been ignoring the signals. So yes I am feeling…

Hi everyone, @elize7 - hope you are feeling better! @lodro - wow! You did really well and it is interesting to hear about what you were doing on a rescue ship and your observations about the crews energy levels. @dcristo213 - good luck on this leg of your keto journey, sounds like you know what you are doing ! Anyone with…

Okay I have to confess ... I have fallen off the wagon and by that I mean I jumped off the wagon and watched it pick up speed as it zoomed away from me!! I have just got back from holiday with hubby and initially did okay then two days ago my laziness just got the better of me ... Anyway I am now back home, going to do…

Oh bugger! I forgot MFP doesn't like emojis from my iPad. @kismet1428 - thanks and how are you tracking with your goals? I am feeling better today, like my carb hangover has 90% gone. I definitely learnt my lesson. @kathrout1973 - welcome! Have you done zero carbs before? I think that sounds really hard, as I struggle with…

@kismet1428 - thanks for your support

Bah!! Yesterday I went completely off the rails. Cheese, chocolate, crisps, potato bake, icecream!!! Threw up twice and now, which is day after, I am tired, I feel like crap and my belly is aching! Honestly it was a really good lesson for me as I have been having evil thoughts recently of chocolate and icecream but after…

My new road trip snacks - chicken wings, salami sticks and nuts. Used to be 2x bags of lollies, sandwiches and some cake or biscuits. Oh and also I now have little pottles of coconut oil in my handbag in case I need some more fat :)

I am going away with hubby for a week, just to chill out and take a break. We will be staying in one of my favourite parts of NZ which has great wineries and lots of foodie places. But never mind that!! I am still feeling super focused, and am down another 1.5 kilo this week, Yay! I would like 6 kilos gone by Christmas so…

@805_blondie - First time ever I have my TOM and no cravings. Like. none. at. all. Crazy! I am tired but that is usual and when tired I want to eat but never mind that. This is totally weird for me. Loving it!

Hi everyone, all is well here, I am out for lunch and probably dinner today so will do my utmost to stay under with carbs but no promises! Should be fine I think. Since upping my fat intake on keto I am experiencing a lot of reflux. Any one else have this problem ? I have just started taking 1 tbsp. of cider vinegar twice…

Today I bought 3 tops in a 'normal' clothing shop. Okay they were 1xl and 2xl, but hey! Its nice to not have to go to the plus girls shop and buy their 1xl and their 2xl. Getting there! Also my belly fat is shrinking, I can now wear my jeans without shapewear underneath. Feeling good :)

@FIT_Goat - you must be doing well on your dairy free, do you notice any difference? I am feeling quite good and not missing it too much.. I did read that I could have ghee and that would be fine as all the badness is removed. I do miss that butter taste, although coconut oil is fine it would be nice to have a change :)

Thanks @805_blondie, yes as predicted I am fine today and so so so pleased I didn't deviate from my path. >halo< hehehe. Nice one for breaking the 20lbs!! @nicee247, when I first began weekends were the worst for me, I would always fall off. Then I just started telling myself. All I need to do is get through this weekend.…

@drawoc, I hear you about the calories! I just started with BPC this week, so far I like it fine. Mine is Coffee + 2 tbsp of coconut oil, blended. Keeps me full until lunch time. I started because sine going keto I was struggling with the small amount of protein I can have daily, so with just BPC for breakfast I can use my…

Hahaha! you made my day :) yes, yes, yes ...

Week 2 of no dairy, still sticking to my macros really well but had a big fight with my husband last night and today I feel tired and crappy and like I should buy myself a lot of sugary badness to eat... But I wont as I am only punishing myself if I do that. But OMG when I am tired this is my most vulnerable time. I am…

Hi low carb peeps! Pleased this week I lost 2 kilos (usually I average .5 - 1kilo) and I am guessing it is because I have given up dairy. I was a real cheese-aholic but I have found that with all the extra coconut oil I am putting in everything, I am not really missing it too much. Went to a party on Saturday, there was…
