Wow!! THAT in very interesting! I'm assuming that could happen to anyone, maybe even someone who is NOT taking MAG and then finds out they're MAG deficient, but IS using "lite' salt. Maybe the deficiency is caused by the 'lite' salt. HUH. Very interesting.

oh yeah lady! Way to go! You've been patient and persistent and consistent and now you have happy-danyc-worthy-proof that you're doing it. Take time to really enjoy that feeling so you imprint it on your brain. Then, in the future when/if you get frustrated if/when you stall, just remember that feeling and know it will…

My very first thought when I read your orginal post was the same as Dragonwolf. - That's a lot of caffeine! I would hedge my bets on the fact that your adrenals are just working super overtime and are not happy. You feel great for the first one cause the adrenals pump out the adrenaline but by the time you reach mug 3, 4,…

@Kitnthecat!!! Can you post the link to that or tell me how to make it? I've always wanted to do that. Before keto/zc I used to take the meat out of the sausage casings and just eat it like ground meat. Now I don't because I can't find any without sugar or wheat or oat hull fiber (good grief) I used to work in a bakery and…

lol! YESSSS! Sorry. I just found it there by clicking on the PHOTOS link! Yayyy!!

Well... there's only one way to find out really. And if you were using it before with good results, why not try it and see how it goes. Just try to change one thing at a time though so you know what does or doesn't work.

nice:)

Hey KetoGirl, Sorry to hear things aren't going so well. Would it help to know I experienced the same thing? Well except for the fasting glucose thing. I don't check mine. But I had all the other observable symptoms. I'm on roughly day 44 of zero carb. I totally know that fatigue. It's not a normal tired, sleepy feeling is…

@wheatlessgirl66 I don't track my calories (a la FIT-goat) it would drive me nuts as I know tracking meat in particular is not really an acurate science. However just for kicks, from time to time, I do just to see. I seem to average about 1400-ish. (5'4" currently 200.5lbs) and I've been consistently loosing 2lbs a week…

ok, so further to this as we're on the topic of canning. I'm kinda folling in the footsteps of the Goat (@FIT-goat) and I've gone zero carb, almost carnivore. I once had canned moose meat. Moose meat in a bunch of spices and preserved in a mason jar. Home made by someone I will never contact again. does anyone know…

ooooh I forgot about "trace minerals" I used to use those. They're great! I should get some more!

I think that's great, if you're not hungry don't eat. But also keep in mind that on another day, you may feel MORE hungry and if you don't let yourself eat when you're more hungry that might set you up for some delays. I don't think you should be too hard on yourself though. ONe week without a loss after 8 weeks could mean…

I'm with wabmester. I don't think it's your carb/sugar that needs to be adjusted but likely your electrolites. You actually don't need any carbs at all to stay healthy. So that would be the problem, but like wabmester said, when you have low carbs you have different needs for electrolytes, so do check that out. Personally…

I hear you. When I got back on board it seemed like I was way more hungry for way longer before I finally got the relief. Stick with it. You know it will be worth it. Keep trying different foods. Did you have a go to food before you got sick? I also second what KnitorMiss said. Your body might be trying to repair stuff…

hahaaaa! @GSD_Mama - I love the new avatar. I want a shirt like that!

OH and P.S. If you are really struggling to stay on track, make sure you're getting enough saturated fat. FAT FAT FAT!! Make sure you're eating lots of salt. And if possible cut back on your artificial sweetners. My opinion FWIW. Other wise, let us know in specifics what you are struggling with. What trips you up. People…
-
I think it's actually normal and good that you did that. I don't see it as a screw up at all. It's experience and proof that you will remember. When you go over on your carbs and calories, you're going to get hungry and cravings. Not generally a good feeling. But in the future you can use it to guage if something is really…

hey there! Well, the nice thing about triathlon is you won't have to learn that neat flip underwater thing because it's out in a lake! ;-P Most triathlon people I know don't know how to do that. When I was learning to swim, I totally couldn't afford lessons. Google "total immersion" swimming or check out the blogs for…

Congratulations! It looks amazing!

THis was mee too. If I had a BPC or fat bombs, I just went way over my calories. If I stuck to calories, I lacked in protein and such. So I just didn't need THAT much fat. Now I have my coffee with the eggs in it and just a small amount of butter. That's working much better. Although, I don't often track, I eat when I'm…
-
interesting. We have been questioning our water supply lately (fluoride, chlorine etc) so I'm going to look up the water filter she mentioned.

@totaloblivia How is your shoulder? I just started reading this thread today. For what it's worth, I had shoulder problems since I was a kid until I chanced upon a doctor with the same thing. I'm not saying this is your problem but it's worth a shot! so MY situation was two fold. MAJOR neck and upper back problems from…

nice. I like it.

We use chlorox spray. Yeah, it's bleach (but we rent 3 rooms in the house to students and well, they don't clean. So we find all kinds of yuck. If it were just the Beast and I it would be microfiber clothes and, when necessary, vinegar. Just wish you could get those microfiber things NOT in fluorescent colors!! We even use…

I love her site too! She's been at it a loooong time! And the video by Kent Altena, I was watching his Atkins videos when he was known as Beowolf (or something like that) on youtube! also a long time ago. :) Nice to see two people who's stuck with it long term.
-
I actually had to stop my BPC cause I was getting too much fat. More precisely too much calories because the fat itself in the BPC wasn't satiating enough to make the calories worth it. If you eat the non-lean cuts of meat you're going to get good fat ratios as well. Just depends how much meat you eat I guess. I safe my…
-
yes please!! Twibbly, remind me again why you're not just eating beef? Why the protein powder? ( know you've been having lots of trouble reacting to foods) but if you can eat protein powder from beef, can't you eat beef?
-
I know eh? That just happened to me too!! Crazy! But great feedback! I find my body has such clear signals now. I just have to learn what each one means. Wow, that is interesting. But, it's great that you know that about you and it's good to let others know as well. This board may have the majority of people upping their…

Artemis, I had the same problem THREE TIMES but with different symptoms each time. Once, I had puffy finger water retention, the other time I has insatiable thirst and the last time was insatiable hunger signals. Every time I realized I had stopped salting my food. For me I HAVE to put salt on almost everything. It…
