This too shall pass (if you stay on keto).

Thanks!! Yeah I definitely eat more LOL.

With respect to motivation... if you're a reader or into 'foodumentarys' there is a lot of info on the benefits of Ketogenic diets on your hormone levels, metabolism etc. and I just watched FatHead on Hulu which was pretty informative as well as funny... he followed a lower carb diet but ate at fast food places and…

I have a calorie target but some days I feel hungrier than others (actual hunger not cravings)... on those days I end up above my calorie target. Some days I am not hungry at all and eat just enough to not end up feeling sort of 'off'. It's nice because I never get shaky and irritable on Keto and weight loss has been…

LOL thanks! I'm hopeful it will go better, everything else has improved fantastically!

Me too!!! The bottom of my feet is the worst. I've tried a variety of things work no resolution. My fats are MCT oil, macadamia, olive oil, lard etc. So I don't think that's the issue for me. I'm only 3 weeks in and my blood sugar is still higher than it should be so I've been chalking my itching ip to that because I've…

I switched to this form of Magnesium rather than the citrate firm and it helped my digestive issues as well.

Lol my teenage daughter was worried I was trying to get pregnant and wasn't telling her when she saw the strips!

I'm going to add in intense exercise and see if that helps at all, as I've mostly just been focused on walking while my body adjusted to this way of eating. I suspect just losing weight in general as part of this will help as well.

Wabmester - I tried that link but I get a message about a "Permission Problem... You don't have permission to access that". Any idea why?

Thank you all! I will keep plugging along then. I will tell myself it's all my fat cells dumping sugar as well, I like it! ;)

I've attempted it in the past but didn't plan out meals well enough and fell off the wagon. I now have abnormal blood sugars so it's finally hit home for me that I'm doing damage to my body by eating garbage. I'm on day 6 and still getting the hang of it plus monitoring blood sugar numbers and watching the impact of my…

Yeah I put in a shot glass with cold water and toss it back so I don't gag!

I just received my 5lb. bag from Amazon, I purchased it to kill weeds... I will try it on my feet as well! Thanks. ;)

I'm new to actually doing LCHF although I've been trying to get the courage to try it for quite awhile. The science is really interesting but what got me finally going was testing my blood sugar and knowing that if I went to the dr. I would get put on medication most likely. I finally had my first normal blood sugar today!…

Do you think it would help with plantar fasciitis? I need relief badly!

I have chronic SVT since childhood and LCHF doesn't trigger attacks for me as long as I take a teaspoon of sea salt every morning before doing anything else. I make sure to include Health Force Nutritionals Green Drink mix as it has all kinds of good green stuff in there that I wouldn't normally eat especially since I'm…

I wish I knew how to interpret this thread because I think it's covering the issue that's bugging me (I'm new to MFP). I want to keep track of how many calories I burned during the week but I don't want it to deduct it from my food because I get all happy thinking I have more calories to eat than I expected to have left…
