Event 2 is tonight... Shark week started this morning FINALLY (day 48 of my cycle... good job, sharkie... NOT.) Thursday's event got more complicated... My son is able to stay for the whole grad dinner and dance thing, so we canceled our restaurant reservation because my uncle called and he's making the inevitable infamous…

Yeah, good reminder in case others don't know that. I always take the iron/B complex in the morning and everything else before bed. I'm trying to get to a "pure" LCHF WOE, but it's taking me some time to cut out sugar and grains completely, I still budget it into my carb allowance at almost 4 weeks in... That's my ultimate…

My supplements are iron with B complex... Calcium/magnesium, Vit D, and potassium. I'm not sure how much difference they make but I tend to test low in iron and Vit D so it's good for maintaining normal levels for me...

I was, but kept skipping them (not good!) because of the carbs, so I stopped counting a few days ago so I'll take them consistently.
-
This has happened to me a couple times too, I'm in my 4th week. Glad that's "normal" as I don't usually sweat much at all.
-
Weird! I have never had that reaction, thankfully!

Event 1, SUCCESS!! I had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Forgot to ask them to hold the croutons, but picked them all out and didn't eat a single one. Didn't taste anyone's dessert, and passed on the mint chocolates. Feeling VERY good and everyone said they were really proud of me for making good choices. I have…

Thats a great idea! I'll ask them. :)

I had to drop out of the diet bet thing. To qualify for a share of the pot and not lose my money I'd have to lose at least 3 lbs every single week (4% of my total body weight is the min you have to lose). Yeah, right. Once I was approved for the diet bet I shook my head and had to admit I'm more of a 0.5 to 1 lb a week…

We need a combo keto-shart work... sharketo? :D
-
It took about a week for me. Definitely get that sodium in. I make an electrolyte water drink with 750 ml water, 1/4 cup lemon juice (for potassium), 1/4 t sea salt, and stevia drops to taste. Chugging a couple of those makes a world of difference. Some people make up a mug of chicken or beef bouillon to sip, but that…

Tonight is event #1. Planning to have Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Wish me luck!!

:D

LOL Nope, don't even know what that is! You can check out my diary! Just lots of fatty foods...
-
You guys are amazing! Thanks for letting me talk it out before it all starts tomorrow... I'm feeling a lot less freaked out now that I have mental plan for how to handle each situation. I also joined a diet bet today and paid $35 into it. I have to lose 4% of my body weight over the next month, which translates to about 12…

Soo... Let's talk about what my options are... At my uncle's place there will likely be some BBQs and I can pass on the bread basket because I'm allergic to wheat. The biggest challenge will be if he makes gluten free lasagna, which is a fave of his and my dad's favourite food so very likely will make an appearance... He…

Good question! I've been wondering the same thing...
-
So today there was a new development... There was a grease slick in the water after pooping. I guess I'm getting enough fats in!! LOL!! Sorry, had to share cause it made me giggle and I knew all you LCHF crazies were the only ones who would get it too.
-
Hahahahaha... I love this thread!! I've been told my massive knockers will disappear and I do NOT want to be disappointed. If they don't, I'm getting them removed surgically. Seriously. Also, I have a ton of really good quality bras from Additionelle (Canadian fat lady store) because just by fluke one day I found my…

It really helped confirm that I'm eating this way is the way to go and I'm feeling even more committed to this WOE for life. My cravings are GONE too, which is what I was hoping would happen if I just had some and got it out of my system. SO not worth it.
-
So... it's been about 32 hours now since my carb meal yesterday and I'm just now starting to feel normal again. My congestion is clearing up, I'm no longer shaky, my headache is gone, my energy is returning, hunger is subsiding, and the sweats stopped. SO BIZARRE, but I really think I was having some kind of a carb…
-
So... It's a couple hours after drinking my homemade lemon and sea salt electrolyte water... I'm sweating a LOT now and still feeling quite tired and shaky... Still not sure if it's my head cold or that higher carb meal yesterday...
-
Huh. Gonna try that. I would have thought it would be the opposite, too much sodium if you knock yourself out of ketosis? Obviously I have no clue what I'm talking about. LOL I don't feel puffy or anything... Will report back in a couple hours...
-
I didn't post everything they tested for as most of it was within normal ranges... Just posted actual numbers for the stuff out of range. Triglycerides were 1.22 mmol/L and recommended range was <2.21. My thyroid is on the high side... 4.59 mU/L, rec range is 0.32-5.04 I know it's a bit confusing to compare numbers between…
-
I got my blood work results back today... Almost everything is within normal range, thyroid and fasting glucose totally normal. Hemoglobin A1C is good. Sodium and potassium are perfect, which is good because I wondered how they would be as that's something that seems to become deficient with a LCHF diet. Ferritin (iron) is…

Me too!

Great attitude!

*hugs*

In 1999 I saw an ad online for the Protein Power plan and ordered a kit. I did it for a month before I got thoroughly sick of meat and never tried low carb again. Because I have PCOS I've had doctors and specialists recommending LC for years but I had a real mental block against it. Last year I went through the whole…

Can't say I've been doing this long enough to find a trend, plus I don't weigh everyday... I'm very interested in trends though so may start weighing daily...
