None for me for the most part. I started losing weight when I gave up dairy, so I'm really going to limit it. It's been 2 weeks & I just now had 2 oz of cream cheese.

I just started it a few days ago since I'm not hungry until lunch anyway. I have BPC W/butter & coconut oil for breakfast & do lunch & dinner between 1pm-8pm. I feel great & I think that between IF & giving up dairy, artificial sweeteners & diet soda this week, my clothes are looser! I will weigh eventually but I hate my…

I've cut out dairy. The coffee & coconut oil keep things moving for me

Good for you for advocating for yourself & not backing down!

I'm on day 3 of no dairy, because I haven't lost an ounce in 5 weeks! I was having too much HWC + cheese. I'm also trying to cut out artificial sweeteners (except sweet leaf stevia), flavored water & diet soda. For my coffee this morning, I added coconut cream & it was delicious! I can totally do that instead of HWC. I…

Recipes that you enter yourself can be incorrect also. I entered all ingredients for a pudding & MFP has each serving way off on carbs, showing each at 12 carbs instead of 30. I didn't realize how off it was, or I would have eaten much less, less often! Be careful & verify it calculates correctly.

Thanks everyone! Good info. I'm feeling better slowly but surely. I'm adding sodium & water & taking magnesium, potassium & calcium.

Is the phentermine a body builder thing? I've met & heard of several people recently doing it w/ low carb & for me, low carb is an appetite suppressant. So, does it serve another purpose? Is it for more energy?

Me too. Body ache, feverish, tired, brain fog. I'm 6 weeks in & just started feeling sick this week. I'm adding sodium, magnesium & potassium on the advice of others here :)

Good info! I need to re-read this thread for motivation. I'm experiencing Keto flu right now, so I'm looking forward to positive effects once I get past it :)

The medical community will catch up 1 of these days!!

I am going to have new blood work done ASAP. I might need a combo of T3/T4. That might be a reason why I'm not losing. Thanks :)

Congrats on your success! If the scale isn't working for you, ditch it! As long as you are sticking to your goals & losing inches of fat & not losing muscle, then keep it up!! Way to go!

You can add me as a friend or just go look at my diary. Also, go to Facebook group KEEPING IT KETO WITH FELICIANNURSE for great info & support :)

Thanks! Good info. I will add sodium & try to cut back on processed meats & go for real foods. I'm 5'7" and want to lose at least 70 lbs. I'm on synthroid for sluggish thyroid & take anti-depressant & anxiety meds (lorazepam & Wellbutrin), so those may be issues I need to discuss with physician. I appreciate everyone's…

Wow! Looking good!

Hi everyone! Thanks for the replies. I will open my diary so anyone can see it. I haven't made an effort to replace sodium. I don't know how much I should have. I will start taking supplements again...magnesium calcium & potassium. I'm averaging 1750 calories/day & meeting my macros from what I can tell. I could drink more…

I hope people will continue to post on this thread & keep me motivated. I've been eating Keto for approx 5 weeks & it's tough. I love eating low carb, but now that I'm really focusing on my macros 75% fat/20% protein/5% carb, I think I'm experiencing Keto flu. I initially lost 10 lbs the 1st 2 weeks, but the scale & my %…

I had the same response when I started out with too much CO. Now I make my BPC w/ coffee, 2T butter, 1T CO or MCT, 1scoop protein powder & 1-2 T walden farms SF FF caramel syrup

They give me gas, diarrhea, stall weight loss & feed intestinal candida yeast. Overall, not good for me

Anyone can add me MelodySmith511

Corn chips at the Mexican Restaurant. If I had 1 I'd be a goner!

I have a real sweet tooth & each time I do low carb, I eat lots of packaged sugar free foods/treats/drinks & have a hard time losing weight. This time I'm determined to focus on real food & see if I can lose some serious weight

Add me :)
