I usually start to bruise easily when my VIT C intake is low. I take a vit c pill or try and eat more fruit and it goes away (always been this way as long as I can remember) I started this WOE March 1st. I started bruising about a month in, took VIT C (1000mg/day) for about 4 or 5 days and it stopped. Then I noticed some…

Right, ok. Fair enough, if you're including dairy, I could see how the carbs could go up quickly. But, I see then I'm safe as I'm also not doing dairy this month. I think I WILL however track my calories, just for data sake, not to adjust. But I'm suspecting I'm going to be one of those people who are going to still have…

oh, yes, I've heard of this. I will definitely keep that in mind as well. Sorry you had is as well, but good to know that it is possibly also because of the diet change and hopefully will get better in all respects. :) Today, I'm going to try more eggs and less fat. :) So far so good.

Oh my gosh, Dragonwolf you are a god send! I just finished my glass of ACV with water and, although not totally cured, whew, what a difference!! My gosh what a difference! I'll be able to sleep laying down tonight! Thank you!

@Dragonwolf, Yes, I believe you about the acid thing. The Fermentol that was helping actually says that there is hydrochloric acid as one of the ingredients so that got me thinking along the same lines as you. Also because the calcium things (tums, rolaids) where they would suppress or neutralize(I guess) the acid, make it…

I often drink pickle juice. We often have pickle jars with just juice. First sign of a headache I take a few swigs "just in case" sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn't. But, I also LOVE pickles so it gives me an excuse to drink it without seems tooooo weird.

Someone mentioned they were trying to keep their carbs under 20net but were doing meativore. Am I missing something? How do you end up over 20net if you're only eating meat? Edit: and cheese n eggs etc. That would still be a heck of a lot of cheese n eggs wouldn't it?

Today (as planned) is my day one. Starting 216.5 lbs Took many measurements so, hoping to at least see some of those change. I'm not tracking because trying to track meat will drive me mad! But I'm hardcore meativore this month so... Just meat n eggs. Coffee n butter. Period. Oh and water. I'm having severe indigestion…

Ok. Well, this was interesting. I did not loose any weight during this month. Frustrating. BUT I did not gain weight, great news. But I haven't lost any weight since the initial first 10 pounds the first week. That was 2 months ago. So for this experiment for April. I didn't track anything. Not even carbs. I really hate…

First off , @FIT_Goat , LOVE your black box approach to dairy! I'm going to go cheese free (all dairy except butter and I will use Ghee) for May as well, BUT I'm also doing the meativore challenge so my results won't be pure as it will be difficult to say whether it was no cheese or no carbs that cause any significant…

Brilliant! Thank you for this. It gives me hope, I just have to keep "tweaking" (not twerking) until I get it right. I HAS to work! It just HAS to!! I know I can figure this out! I'm sure it's something simple like you said. Thank you. I was starting to feel broken! HA!! wait! I guess, in a way I already AM broken and…

Whaaaaaaat did I just read? Are you serious? I am soooo going to try this! Weird!

Me too. I know I eat enough calories and yeah, ok, this was the longest coldes winter in my part of Canada since I can ever remember... but I still can't get warm. I'm hoping it pays off in our 100+ weather in August. Gotta love where I live! -58 in the winter and +102 in the summer! Today I saw people in shorts and…

My uneducated opinion from reading here and there and where ever... is multivitamins really aren't all they're cracked up to be That being said, I still take them... just in case. But most people are going to have some pretty strong opinions on vitamins. However, magnesium, calcium and potassium seem to be VERY common…

Great, now that we've cleared up what's not happening, can you explain what is then?

OH thank you for mentioning this. I have only been on keto for about 2 months Lost 10 pounds the first week and then nothing. So, I am like you SRJennings. It's been almost 2 months with no loss. BUT! Back in it's hay day, I did Atkins and I do distinctly remember the WOOSH effect and trying to figure out what it was. And…

I can understand your frustration but I'm very glad that you shared this. Some how I just KNOW this WOE will work for me, but believe before seeing is difficult sometimes. So hearing from others that they had slow results is very very helpful and encouraging! Thank you!

I hear you wheatless girl, I've been diligent but after 2 months, I've only lost 10lbs and that was in the first week. But, lost they are and I seem stable so even though I have not lost anything for about 7 weeks... I'll keep on, keepin' on.

And actually, @yarwell, starvation mode is not a myth. If calories are significantly reduced below sufficient needs, the body will down regulate metabolism in an effort to maintain functions. This down regulation can last as long as a year after a prolonged incident. The body down regulates metabolism and up regulates…

Sorry FIT_goat, just playing devil's advocate after we nixed out someone's night cap. >:)

So if tea and coffee are made from plants... why are they allowed? Are you condering them as "seasonings" in the water??? Not that I want to lose my coffee for the month!!!

@FIT goat!! Sorry, my bad. I read so many threads and posts today. I knew the posts you were reffering to, but I thought they were in the other thread. Should have double checked! Sorry.

@curlyblue, that doesn't look right to me at all. I'm not an expert but that carb number looks really high if you're trying to do a LCHF diet. Your carb# and your fat# are practically the same. So that means if your fat% is around 50% so is carbs and they should be IMO closer to 5% not 50%. Depends on your goals and…

@FIT_goat did you mean to post this in the "does counting calories" thread??

Yay Sajyana! My inspiration. That's where I want to be too. I didn't count anything this month, but I didn't lose any weight either. BUT I'm thinking it's because of cheese and chocolate. So. I've decided, that although I won't continue (likely) forever, I'm going to do the Meatless May challenge, just to sort of reboot…

Don't ask questions!! Just go with it! :wink:

Even on a day to day basis if I don't have enough meat fat, I get potty issues. I really notice it. I didn't believe it at first, but now the correlation is undeniable.

I'm having the same problem. I feel hungry almost all the time again. Before easter I was great! Ketostix were always dark purple. Now... meh. Never purple but usually showing something. The last week or so I found the only thing that will finally shut off the hunger signal is a meal of veggies. So like a big (I mean BIG)…

ditto!

I've been going berserk. Ever since my binge at Easter, I've been hungry. Craving carbs. Ketostix are saying moderate to small depending on the day/time/water consumption. Breath is saying the same depending. Scale hasn't changed one way or another. I'm not tracking anything but I know my carbs are often under 20. I'm…
