I used to get phantom smells just before I'd get a really bad head cold.. but since going keto, I haven't been sick! However, it happened to me again fairly recently, and I thought I was loosing my mind. I was eating a certain brand of protein bars, and I noticed that I would smell it stronger afterwards. I cut out that…

Happens to me every month! Just happened today actually...

I love salami with brie cheese rolled up, as well as "mousse" made with mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, unsweetened cocoa, and stevia, (you can make a big batch and just have a few bites from the container as needed) Macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, almonds, with cream cheese are awesome. Pan toasted pecans with butter,…

Amazing!! You look fantastic!!

@Sunny_Bunny_ & @WG_Keto, Thank you so much for your pointers! I didn't even realize I was actually feeling dizzy as well as thirsty. I've just upped my sodium, I'm up over 5000mg sodium right now.. I'm actually feeling really good. Thank you again!

Cool, thanks

There is a low carb bakery in San Diego called Julian Bakery. Sometimes I get bars shipped from them.. but I do have to say that I have a love/hate relationship with them.. sometimes I'll order a certain flavor of bars and they will be amazing! And the next order of the same flavor will not be very good at all. I like the…

Welcome Jessica! I've been doing keto (a type of low carb) for two years, and I absolutely love it! I don't have any fancy recipes, but you are welcome to look around at my diary

I have been planning since December to go ZC for the first 20 days in March... I'm calling Meaty March!

If I may add my two cents... I actually liquefy butter, along with other fats and drink it.. (in coffee, tea and cocoa, but still) and have done so for more than a year. Lost 50 plus lbs, and improved my overall health and vitality.. good saturated fat is where it's at!

When you come to realize that most of your cloths have butter spots on them..

Just wanted to thank you guys for your input.. It's really appreciated! This forum is awesome! Also wanted to toss out there, that after gorging myself in fat for the past two days, I weighed myself this morning (Monday is the usual weigh in day) and I'm down 2.6 lbs... What the frick!?! Lol!

I had an NSV recently.. I went to see my nephew in his first play (Once Upon a Mattress) and went to buy a tshirt to support the drama department. I asked the gal behind the desk (whom I thought was quite thin) what size she thought I could wear. She looked at her shirt, then looked at me and said "well mine is a medium,…

BPC for me all the way! Or iced black...

I was on the Atkins diet for about 4 years... I only ever counted net carbs, and always ate less than 25g, and bounced up and down with my weight. I switched to Keto, started tracking my macros and calories and started intermittent fasting last September and have dropped 50+lbs. I feel better, healthier and stronger than I…

I used to get really bloated with a lot of indigestion and heartburn when I first started. Especially when I would have BP coffee. I started taking an enzyme to help me produce more bile to help digest all the fats I was eating. Worked well for me! Took them for maybe a month and a half, and i find I don't really need them…

I have read that people without a gallbladder who do Keto, usually take ox bile to help them digest fats.. Maybe something like that could help you with a more permanent solution?

I tore my acl in October, I had acl repair in January using patella tendon graft.. Lost almost 50lbs now through mostly diet, and now starting to be able to work out... It's doable!

Sounds yummy! Thank you for sharing!

Just sent a request... I'm not exactly paleo, but close!

Great job! 20lbs is no small feat!! Amazing!

Organic Pastures Raw Heavy Cream all the way!! You can only get it if you live in CA though...

"If you're afraid of butter, use cream" -Julie Child's she was freaking amazing!!!

Not new to Keto... But always looking for friends! Feel free to add me!

Same! I'm actually at the higher end of my healthy BMI, and would also like to go a little lower.. I guess I need to learn how to let it roll off my back too.. It's hard because some of these people have been my support group!

Fantastic!! You go girl!

7lbs in two weeks is amazing!! I read one of those inspirational quotes the other day, and it said "the hard part isn't getting your body in shape, it's getting your mind in shape" I know it's hard, but I would encourage you to be kinder and patient with yourself as you go through this change... Wow! 7 in 2.. Amazing!!

Hmm.. That's an interesting question.. Maybe try looking up some sort of standard nutrient content for chicken broth/veggie broth, and go by that?

Personally, I can't seem to do cheese without seeing the scale creep up. I do butter/coconut oil and or cacao butter in my coffee. Sometimes I'll have some heavy cream or kefir, these things don't seem to bother me at all :)
