Sunny_Bunny: how do you get enough potassium?

I am 65 yr old woman and 5 foot 10 inches.

Correction...that would be 20 to 30 pounds of water weight. which is 3 to 4 gallons of water weight. that is still a lot.

ToniB53: we are basically the same age. I have been on keto for about 8 weeks so I am a little behind you. My problem is water weight. On the ketogenic diet, I have lost 25 pounds. Today...I did a fat percentage analysis. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/ It came out at 26.71% fat which is quite…

I did a fat percentage analysis. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/ It came out at 26.71% which is quite acceptable. But I weigh 250 lbs. So that means that I have about 70 pounds of water weight. That is about 8 gallons of water.

tried to send gambigirl a text but it would not go through. I have lupus. This is what helped me: https://www.thathealsthat.com/lupus-remedies 21. Raw milk colostrum (good for any autoimmune disease) thymus regeneration I wonder whether raw cream would differ from using raw butter in the bulletproof coffee. I can easily…

I have been losing rather steady but have gained water weight this week. I know it is water weight because I have not eaten enough to gain weight. Although I was successful decades ago, it a new venture for me. I am a lot older. Still, does anybody know how to drain the water? I am considering bullet proof coffee.

Eating too close to bedtime; sleeping on your stomach; eating an (unknown) allergy; your right brain trying to talk to you; You have changed your diet. So change the foods you eat on keto and see what that does. Drink Chamomile tea before bed. Warm milk with cinnamon also works. Talk out loud to yourself and assure your…

I am going to have a can of green olive with either guacamole or an avocado for lunch. According to research, oil extracted from green olives helps with breaking down fats inside fat cells, reduces insulin insensitivity and gets rid of belly fat. And keto tends to be acid whereas olives are alkaline. Plus this gives me a…

I had 48 carbs with 21 fiber today and it did not knock me out of ketosis. I was trying a new combination. All carbs at breakfast and lunch. Green olives and avocados which are 1/2 or more fiber. 1 Tablespoon of tamarind to heal the liver. Wait and see if it stalls my weight loss.

keto snacks but not bombs: http://lowcarbediem.com/keto-snack-ideas/

50 fat bombs https://ketodietapp.com/Blog/post/2015/03/24/60-amazing-fat-bomb-recipes

I use this one: http://www.mydreamshape.com/keto-calculator/

No, it says 5 olives. Whereas a can is 55 olives.

Thinking back to the show, I think it is what the website "ThatHealsThat.com" says: For every diet and even for remedies, there are 1/3 for whom it works exceedingly great, 1/3 that it works OK; and 1/3 that it does not work at all and could even be negative for the person. Keto is the only way I can lose weight.

A second comment. The best thing you can do is distract yourself with any activity so you don't fixate on food or your diet. Plant a garden. Learn to play guitar. Knit an afghan. Play online games. Go swing at the park.

The only people that could do 70 pounds in a month are those with tremendous water weight. And they would have hanging skin. I have seen it. One man did an IV of lasix and lost 50 pounds. A gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds. 70 pounds is about 8 gallons of water. And it can come back just as quick.

Sorry nobody answered you. I have posted in other places that it takes about three weeks for you to switch from sugar burning to fat burning. You should take your weight in three phases. Use a BMI chart to set the weight you are striving for. If you are over 30 bmi, then 30 is your first goal. Take your height, go…

I have lymphedema and am going to try leeches at laleeches.com. They also help people lose weight so I want to see what they can offer me.

OK...how do I add any of you. I first did keto 40 years ago. Kept the weight off for years, until I hit a very stressful time in my life. Now that I have lived past most of the problems and gotten rid of most of the stress, I can do keto. I was not able to do the keto diet while under extreme stress. I am on day 43 and…

I have not lost in over a week. In fact, I gained but did not enter that on my weight tracker because I have not eaten enough to gain any weight so I am hopeful that it is water gain before the whoosh....but still, it's been about ten days.

The Manichevitz blackberry wine improved my medical problem but not enough to go to work so it was old faithful Immodium to the rescue. I am the lady with all the granny, home remedies, and then I take an OTC!?! Oh well....a person does what works for the particular situation. Thank you, everybody, for the great input.

A politician in America (Congressman Hank Johnson) said that if too many people were on one side of an island (Guam), the island would tip over (capsize). Can an island flip over?

about 24 hours later...I am still pink on the keto stix. I will cut back on the carbs today and tomorrow.

I drank 4 ounces of Manischewitz blackberry wine. Thank you for letting me know that I can. I do feel better. It is a great food-based remedy.

how do you know these plug-ins aren't putting spyware malware on your computer????

you can try 4 vinegar pills at night. that should lower your morning sugar level. or you can drink two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar at night. the apple cider vinegar can be on a salad. many studies verify this. Vinegar at night lowers the morning glucose level.

For me, the hardest part is ignoring daily weight and looking at the end of the week weight. Each time I am about to lose weight, the scale will show around a 2 pound gain. Most days, I drink 2 cups of water upon waking and then wait an hour before eating or drinking anything else. The Japanese found the morning water…

Yep, I like ketostix too. I was under too much stress to do the keto diet before.

I am back to modify what I just said. The people that do a cyclic keto diet...have carb up cheat days. That is the way that program works. See body builders, etc. For me, I am resetting my body...to burn fat...to have a weight reset point. Also, it dissolves tumors. Fat tumors do not reduce from regular low calorie diets.…
