  • Ugh. I am still on nights and pray for the day to come soon when I can have a normal schedule again!
  • Wow, $25. I have GOT to check that out. These strips are far too expensive. I only check occasionally due to the cost. Thanks for info Emmie, do you have a link to a site perhaps?
  • The ketostix are not really useful to know your blood ketone levels. You'll need that Precision Xtra glucose/ketone blood tester. The part that makes me choke is the fact that these ketone test strips cost about $5 EACH! That's right, almost $50 for a box of 10...I will need to shop around, but this will be something I…
  • Sounds like a good plan. I think it's so interesting to hear of the different forms of exercise and strengthening that works for different individuals. It's also a great way to find some new ideas to incorporate as well.
  • Welcome aboard the keto wagon Dheana (you've been riding for longer than I have!) but it's nice to have a community here where we can share some successes, concerns etc.
  • Oh wow...this sounds fabulous aunteen, I will have to give it a go, maybe layer it with the chocolate? i do enjoy a simple dessert to feel satisfied and not as if I'm on a "diet". Thanks for the recipe!
  • OK, here's my "mini chocolate mousse"...I make this after dinner and stick into the fridge to have around 8PM. 2 T. Native Forest organic coconut cream ( 60 Cals., 6g Fat, 1 Carb.) 1 T. Coconut oil ( 120 Cals., 14g Fat, 0 Carb.) 2 tsp. baking cocoa powder ( 7 Cals., 0.3g Fat, 0 Net Carb.) 1/8 tsp Vanilla pinch Sea salt…
  • Hey there Gerr9244, I too am a night shift RN, and it is so hard on our bodies...I'm hoping to get some real benefits from the keto WOE. Anyway, if you'd like to connect/share with me as well, please add me or whatever. I'm 49 yo, but like to forget that part of my identity ;-P

  • Hi Meg! I was wondering the same thing... I hate weighing in because it is such a weird variable anyway and I started my monthly "issue" today so bla-bla-bla. But I really would like to connect with some more of you who are trying to keto. Please add me to your friends if you will/want to. It would be nice to connect and…
  • Hmmm, is this a keto group? I'm not being sarcastic, I really thought this was a group dedicated to a ketogenic WOE, but I can see from so many responses that many here are not following that path at all. It's no problem for me, I was just hoping there may be some more truly keto eaters with helpful advice and…
  • Weight training 2x/week and some walking when I can, slow pace though, about 2-2.5 miles/hr. (steep hills!). I also am trying to do some abdominal/core exercises each day, or...that's the new plan! I want to be consistent and find things that work for me and that I can continue to follow without over-training and burnout…
  • Hi, I'm Helewisa and I started keto or LCHF on July 11, 2015. I had started some plan that a close friend encouraged me to try (SHAPE), but I almost immediately decided this was NOT what I wanted. Anyway, somehow or other I began researching and found a website called the Diet Dr. and that was my first intro to keto. I was…
