  • So, I'm a month into keto eating and I have definitely learned a lot. Everything from ketostix to BPC to IF. . .it has all been quite the journey. I must say that I believe this is a doable WOE. I will share that I felt pretty horrible for a solid 3 weeks with some afternoon hypoglycemia most afternoons (I have always ran…
  • You look great! Great job!
  • I really don't wanna be the odd one out, but I do wanna warn against mixing prescription meds with natural ones. If they have similar mechanisms of action, they can cause serotonin syndrome or other synergistic, undesired side effects. I side with the warning about natural drugs as well considering they are not regulated…
  • Congratulations! Am I tge only one wondering what you're gonna eat? :smiley: Cheesecake? Low-carb cupcakes? Please indulge me!
  • For some reason, I find the MFP Community portion of the app to be slightly annoying, but I thought I'd push through it today to check in. I'm always so happy to see others' progress! I'm 2 weeks in today and it's going great. I've lost 7 pounds (water weight, so nothing to jump up and down about) and am finding myself…
  • The United States will be "getting rid of it" by 2018 and many fast food restaurants have already removed it from their ingredients. But, it persists in many shelf-stable, creamy items such as peanut butter and margarine for now.
  • On 2nd week of keto. I'll add ya!
  • I'm no keto expert, but I eat cauliflower often (with cream and butter). It's really not that high in carbs. I can't imagine doing keto as a vegetarian, you are amazing!
  • Hey folks! I've been strict keto this week (+ moderate urinr ketones) w/ 20-25 net carbs and eating 1400-1500 calories. About 65-75% of my calories have been coming from fat. Feeling so successful. . .until today when I felt terrible (had eaten 1 Oz of sharp cheddar 1 hr prior). I tested my BG and it read 64. I went ahead…
  • I'm cheering for you! I, too, thought I would never get to goal weight, but you never know how your body might respond over long periods of time. I'm so in awe at the fact that you are staying the course and are so generous with your profound keto knowledge!
  • Food addiction is definitely a B! Well, I'm doing pretty well this week. I have been able to keep net carbs near 25 and finally started getting + urinary ketones. I've adapted to this WOE and am really satisfied. Was thinking of trying IF (fasting from breakfast to dinner). My upcoming clinical rounds will leave me…
  • Thanks for the tips! I haven't ventured out a whole lot yet. Going on a trip to Albuquerque, so I didn't want to stock up on stuff when I'm not gonna be home.
  • Thank you so much for the tips! Scotch eggs, yum! I do have a specific food question. Peanut butter. . . allowed?
  • Been there, done that. The weight loss doesn't last---I know from experience. :neutral:
  • Here for support. Just started this week.
  • Hello! New to keto--started this week! I've had success losing 100 pounds in the past with very low calorie eating. Unfortunately, the last two years of medical school has really packed on the weight (about 30 pounds). This was related to lots of sitting and reading and eating tons of carbs. While my activity level will…
  • Just started keto diet this week. Have been very successful in past doing very low calorie dieting. However, medical school has really packed on the pounds (2 years of sitting and reading books/eating high carb). The keto diet really makes sense considering the biochemical mechanism. Any support or friends would be awesome…
  • #4: I have a whole list of foods that are bad. One of them being my all-time favorite food: peanut butter. I feel guilt every time I eat it (even if its with an apple). Crazy thing is that the guilty feelings don't keep me away from it, lol! I do avoid eating hot dogs, ground beef and most processed meats. This is just a…
  • Just joined the group and think I will purchase the book since I am at a low point with food and in need of focus and recovery. I was an unconscious eater most of my life suffering childhood and early adult morbid obesity. In 2011, I became a professional dieter. I participated in two weight loss competitions and actually…

  • I know what you mean. I ate 1025 calories a day for 3 months and I never want to go back to that. It is hard to bite my tongue when I see my friends or other MFPers going down the same pathway. So, I tend to stay away from the other boards.
