Hi Karl Yeah I've been there dozens of times....even lived there for a year. The little sugar loaf pineapples are just too good. No way I can resist. But I'll try to show control. I guess worst case scenario I start over when I get home. That or I commit to just eating the fish....could happen! Thanks for the post.

Thanks Knit. I'll probably just have to suck it up and eat the fruit. Deal with the consequences when I get back. Its just too good! Well today I was down 2 lbs...so you were right. Up and down. And I realized that Truvia has 3 carbs per packet! I had no idea...thought it was zero carbs like stevia. Won't be making that…

Thanks so much Knit. I'm going to stick it out. I feel good and I'm not hungry all the time...which is very nice. Just hoping to shed some fat in the next few weeks. I'm off to Hawaii in the beginning of December! On another note I'm kind of concerned about the vacation. I mean the fish and veg are awesome. But I can't NOT…

Well I'm on day 15 and I've gained 1/2 a lb. Grrr. Not sure why. I also tested with a ketostix and I'm only showing trace amounts of ketones. Hmmmm. I don't have a lot of weight to lose so I'm not expecting this to be fast but I was hoping not to gain! I tested my ketones in the AM right after hot yoga. Could that have…

Hi I'm new to keto and am doing skd. I am very athletic however. How will I know If my body is breaking down protein for fuel? I feel good, have only had a couple of somewhat off days (and mostly during strenuous workout) and have lost a few lbs. I am only looking to reduce 8 lbs, maybe 10 if the gods allow it:) Thanks.

Thanks again knit. I've been drinking bullion and I take an electrolyte supplement called Nuun. I also supplement like crazy. I take magnesium but I just checked and its oxide. I googled and citrate is more bioavailable....but why is oxide horrid? Yikes. I'll get some citrate tomorrow. Thanks for all your knowledge. On a…

I'm just starting this myself but your protein seems low. I'm 5'2 also, 118 lbs, probably 30% body fat (that's just a guess) and I'm eating closer to 75g of protein....of course I could have that wrong but I don't think so.

Thanks knitormiss. And thank you for the blog. I'll check it out later tonight. i do trust the process and have lost 3 lbs so I'm pleased. And feeling what many rave about...very little hunger being the most marked. I ate a pretty low carb diet before this so it's been more subtle for me. I did have a crazy dip in energy…

Thank you Karlottap. This WOE is so against the grain, so to speak. But when you look at the science it makes absolute sense. Man adapted to burn glucose from being a fat burner. We're really just reverting back to our evolutionary roots.

Hi there and thanks for the reply. So far I feel no different in yoga, same energy. Maybe that's because I'm not in ketosis yet. Wahhh. I posted above that I did Atkins and I ate way more protein and didn't sweat calories at all. I'm wondering if I should up my protein? There are some experts that say we need 30-40 grams…

Ok. I have my calories set at 1200 and can stay within that plus or minus a 200. I'm not factoring in the calories I burn in yoga so I should be fine. I tested my ketones today and I'm in very low ketosis :( I did Atkins years ago, and it seems I got into it much faster like a couple of days...and I could tell. I literally…
