  • 110 for me. Little high for me, but I see I had a little dip in the early morning hours so thats probably why. Everyone seems to be doing great. Soldier on...the struggle is real! :)

  • I have a hand held one, love it. I use a toothbrush that I now keep in the kitchen to clean mine. Gets all the way in there and doesn't shred my fingers :)

  • An overall thanks to this group. Tons of info and encouragement. I switched to LCHF a couple of weeks ago and aside from the occasional headache (thanks for the sodium tip) those sugar cravings are subsiding.

    in NEW BIGGEST LOSER CHALLENGE BEGINNING FEBRUARY 13TH!! Comment by asrai50 February 2017
  • Keep with it. The first week I felt like someone ran over me with a truck and I had headaches for three days....plus I didnt lose anything! Week 2 I was firmly in ketosis and dropped 3 pounds. I feel better and have lost that awful bloated feeling and that brain fog has lifted. Dont lose patience :)
    in KETO Frustration Comment by asrai50 February 2017
  • Lower carb choices, stick to complex carbs like whole wheats, sweet potatoes, brown rice, etc. Decrease processed carbs such as white potatoes, chips, white rice, pastas. Some vegetables have a higher glycemic index than others. Corn will spike your blood sugar must faster than green beans as an example.
    in Diabetes Comment by asrai50 February 2017
  • Coconut oil, butter, heavy whipping cream, olive oil, bacon, avocados, cheese... I make a coffee in the morning with butter and coconut oil all blended together. Starts my morning and keeps me from getting hungry until later.
