  • Hey Ang...Im in the interior of BC too :) I find with keto that drinking bouillon in the morning with my breakfast makes a positive difference.I buy it organic in a jar in paste/concentrate form and add boiling water to it.Also a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day.If you are in keto and feel like you are blah and…

  • ketogenic diet is a very low carbohydrate diet. Basically, to start, you eat under 40 grams of carbohydrate(net carb) a day.your fat intake is high and protein moderate. the reason this helps PCOS is it helps correct insulin resistance. How? Ok our bodies are designed to either burn glucose as fuel, or burn fats as fuel.As…

  • Well,as someone who has been insulin resistant and diagnosed PCOS, I concur with the carb thing.I thrive on low carb.Being in a ketogenic state is simply awesome for me.I kind of cycle to replenish glycogen stores every so often but my overall energy hits the sky in keto. Its easy to say one size fits all, but people, it…

  • one more heads up.if you just plug food into mfp you will mostly get total carbs.on keto you are interested in net carbs.this means doing a bit of research and package reading.Personally i have been trying to add foods followed by (net carbs) for all of us low carbers :)

  • i eat 40 grams and under carbs.keto is the only way I can really lose weight.I have been insulin resistant,PCOS etc....which all goes away with weight loss.I am starting to believe that many things are not so much "disorders" but rather the body's response to being carb intolerant.I feel like a million bucks with energy…

  • if you are fairly new to heavy lifting it really is possible that you have gained some muscle...which weighs more than fat.if you keep it up another 2-3 weeks and log carefully, you may see your metabolism speed up from the new muscle mass.dont drop calories too low when building muscle because you need building blocks for…
