I freeze kale. I'm doing keto. I throw it in a blender with 2 strawberries. Some cucumber. Heavy cream stevia and cinnamon. Then water and crushed ice. Sometimes a tablespoon of peanut butter I just mix things up everyday. I'm not a fan of veggies so the smoothie works for me.

2Poufs, Thank you. That is what I was looking for. I have just been back a couple days, I do fill it in daily, but I got the warning yesterday that I didn't eat enough , and when I hit complete entry, it doesn't complete it. Thanks everyone for you input.

I stopped the coconut oil. And after weeks of running. And i mean weeks things are looking up today. Wish me luck that i found the culprit and can get back on the saddle.

No meds, I did decide today to stay off of the coconut oil for a week or so to see if it makes a difference. The magnesium is only 300 mg. Thanks for helping me try to problem solve this. I really don't want to quit.

I will go out and get a good probiotic today. Thanks

No im not.

I had too many carbs today. I went up to 53 grams. Mostly due to a banana. After looking at what I have been eating. I am going to try to keep my carbs around 30. Eat more veggies, and a few berries, and try to eat three meals a day. This going days at 500 calories isn't healthy. I think I'm screwing up my electrolytes and…

The problem with cutting out the sodium is I have a lot of days where I feel very dizzy, and out of sorts. As soon as I have the sodium I feel better.

I normally go anywhere from 500 to 1300 calories / day. I truly have to force food down. My carbs can go from 5 to 25g , proteins around 80 grams, fat usually over 85. It't hard to give numbers because a lot of days i don't eat enough to calculate properly. I only had 1 tablespoon of coconut oil a day, I just cut it back…

In my house my boyfriend tells me to please cook some carbs cause he's getting fat with all my greasy cooking. Funny. I'm losing weight. Lol

Just wanted to clarify on this one. I wasn't trying to fill a void, or treat myself. I allowed myself to eat something that I had no idea had carbs in it. This put me pretty much back to square one and it was the only way I could get through the first day after this disaster. I don't feel I need treats. I actually have…

Thanks, I will keep a very close eye on that, now that you have made me aware of it. Everyday I learn new things. And this is one of them. I appreciate it.

I haven't been doing the emotional eating thing that I used to do if that's what you mean. I had a rough one today. Someone made me lunch reassuring me that it was almost carb free. Too bad I knew nothing about lentils. I knew it threw me out of ketosis and into carb craving after work. I did save myself there with a fat…

Thanks KnitorMiss, whatever they are, they are what save me. It's so delicious. I can't think of anything that fills that void better.

I have failed every diet I have ever tried due to weekend disasters. I had a big family function up on the water with tons of food and beer in the hot sun. I didn't cheat once. I have made it a month so far on keto. And the only time I have ever felt like I was going to stray I quickly made myself a little dessert. I don't…

I am lactose intolerant. I find it odd because it hits me very hard, I am sure you understand what I mean. But for some reason the 35% cream does not bother me in the slightest. Yet if I have a little milk of any kind I am running. Have you tried having a little cream? As I said my intolerance is severe. It used to just be…

Awesome thanks

Great job, congrats

Ok, thanks. I have sea salt in a grinder I use from Costco. I guess thats similar.

Where do you get the himalayan crystals from

Thanks. I have been keeping my water up. Guess i need to force the broth down I cannot believe my lack of appetite. Other than this listless feeling on days like today i feel wonderful. Thanks for your input.

I made my bullet proof coffee this morning. I normally use coconut oil, butter and cream and 1 scoop of protein. I left out the protein powder and tried two egg yolks. I also used stevia as the thought of putting sugar in my diet kind of scared me. It was good. Thanks for the info

Thanks ladies, I can't wait to try the primal coffee.

I actually was looking for another option for breakfast. My carbs are normally well below 15grams / day. I found a protein that is sweetened with stevia that is all natural. I am going to mix it to my bulletproof coffee on mornings when I don't want eggs. I will rotate the days. My concern was using anything that wasn't…

Thanks so much. Hearing from people who live this daily is inspiring. It's easy to go online and read all kinds of crap that you don't know if you can believe. Actually talking to people is different. I think I have the right idea. I am definitely determined. My problem is also my weekend beer. So I have just told myself,…

Thanks for the responses. I have ketostix, and I am showing that I am in ketosis. Is that possible after only a week? I have read so much. But it does get overwhelming. I found during the week it is easier to keep my calories lower and my fat higher, my protein not bad, and my carbs seem to be under 10, and thats not net…

Thank you. I was worried I may start going the other way when I was up to 1600. :(.

Have been doing Keto for 5 days. Minus 5 lbs. would love some friends and support/advice to keep this going. I think I have finally found the answer. Please feel free to add me.
