I just changed my numbers and I do feel better. We will see if I still lose weight. I was getting headaches and diarrhea with too much fat. So, now, on the advice of another group, I changed it way up. I was doing 70%fat 20% protein and 10% carbs. Now, I am doing 55%fat 35%protein and 10%carbs. Its a lot of protein...like…

Thanks, Sunnybunny! I am going to try moving my macros around to 120 protein. Even though that facebook group is really strict...(I think they had too many people try to argue with them.) they were actually really helpful and I am going to try their advice.

I think I will try giving up coffee first tomorrow.

It really does sound more like Atkins. I mean if your total carb is 20 then after you take away fiber...I would be in the negative for carb intake.

I will probably try their version and see if I feel better. It goes by how tall you are. I am 5/6 and it is120 grams of protein, 76g of fat, and 20 carbs. Plus, they suggest counting total carbs instead of net carbs for then first month but with all the fiber I am taking for my tummy and only getting carbs from veggies...I…

There is a really stricked keto facebook group that admits they don't follow the medical keto principles and they suggest more protein. They insist it won't convert into carbs...so confused! They won't even let you post a pic of a meal that doesn't have the macros they support!

...and now the salt is making me get the runs again! I am already taking fiber.

I did another teaspoon and headache went way. I will just try to do that every time there is a headache.

I seem to be getting a headache every single time I eat anything. I upped my salt and at least I didn't wake up with a headache this morning. I just ate breakfast and the headache came back. Going to try more salt but I think I already had a teaspoon full and I took electrolyte tablets. I wonder if my body is still trying…

How many tablespoons of salt is recommended?

I wa surprised at how slowly the weight came back after going off the diet for 2 months. I wonder if its because it isn't calorie restricted. The body doesn't really think its starving. It just switches fuel sources.

So, sodium will fix keto related diarrhea too.

I also already lost the 5 I gained in less than a week. I am back where I started when I quit 2 months ago!

I lost 15 and ate like a piggy for 2 months. I only gained back 5. That isn't water weight. I have a client who lost over 100lbs on keto. That is a lot of water!

I think I found the group. I am still getting used to this community structure. I put in a search and found It. I requested to join. I don't see it listed on the main forums. Is the search button the only way to connect to it? The LCD Group.

With all the fiber in my carbs. 50 is more like 20! Big difference. LOL!

Am I correct that MFP counts carbs but doesn't subtract fiber for the net carb count? I think I thought I was eating too many carbs because I forgot to subtract fiber for net carbs.

Thank you! I will soooo try anything! LOL!

Did you get the runs? I finally realized chia seeds and fiber powder are my friend. I did not have this problem the first time.

To anybody considering it. It is a great program that really works but I definitely suggest taking it slow and eat clean lower carb but not keto before jumping into it. Once you are suffering you don't want it to be for nothing. LOL!

Thanks!

My kidneys are good to go! I think all my electrolytes might be too low.

Maybe I will start putting spinach in my green drink!

I just noticed dairy is high and i am allergic to milk. Those are some good suggestions! Thanks!
