@karlottap thank you

Thanks everyone , for advice and wise words , 4 pickles later & some chicken stock & I feel completely normal , it was just Monday that I upped my water from 2ltrs a day to 3 , but I didn't add more salt , so I will be watching that closely from now on, so now I am celebrating because I've finally adapted after 3 long…

Thanks you , I will add more , I do take magnesium daily , I'm going to go eat some pickles & hope this feeling passes

A ton , I don't even worry about tracking my salt as I seriously have always over salted my food , I also drink a litre of water daily with BCAAs in it and addition to my over salting my food has additional 430 mg of sodium in it

I've tried a lot of them , and feel the most healthy consuming meat , I did the vegetarian for about a year gained a ton of weight & felt terrible. I'm on a ketogentic diet & feel awesome tons of energy never bloated , but everyone's body is different. It's taken about 15 years to figure out what is best for mine

Thank you , I'm going to drop the blood metre now , I think I have gotten to the point I can read my body again , plus I won't lie it sorta became an addiction ( wanting those perfect numbers) do you still drink on occasion ? If so what is safe to drink without blowing your diet ? I'm feeling very outta touch with friends…

I am intermittent fasting right now ( not buy choice it just seemed to happen naturally ) my bullet proof coffee in the am seems to carry me thru for about 6 hours , my weak spot is hydration I rarely feel thirsty and its taxing to get 2ltrs of water in , I'm really not sure how much I need to actually drink

Thanks , I will monitor my foods better this week , thanks everyone for great advice

Yes , I have done lots of reading , I'm a huge fan of primal edge Heath , I have 3 children after my second child I played around with the Atkins diet & lost 30 pounds I enjoyed the feeling of being in ketosis and did not find it hard to do , sadly I went back to carbs & all the weight came right back . I'm 39 now & have…

I'm 39 so I'm sorta there

Thank you all , for the wisdom , I feel much better chatting with people who have been on this road longer thanks so much

Thank you , I've been at zero to 20 grams of carbs for about 6 weeks now , so I think I might be there , and should probably stop taking my blood ketone readings as it has me chasing perfect numbers & is probably just stressing me out

I would love to feel the same , unfortunately I have never been hungry much , and was always running on a calorie deficit, coffee in am , then running around all day then dinner with kids around 5 then would snack on carbs all night , this caused my body tho hold on to everything from what I understand , so now I'm scared…

Thanks , when you make the switch it's always confusing after being told for years from trainers ect, that I need 6 meals or skipping breakfast will make me fat, sorta got slightly worried that my progress would come undone , very glad to hear it's normal

Thanks so much , it's gone on for about 4 days , but managing a salad & chicken tonight

Thanks , I will check it out , I'm not over eating at all , in fact I'm lucky if I can get one meal in first 3 weeks I had all my macro's in check , suddenly this week I have 0 hunger at all , I'm okay to drink my bullet proof coffees but seem two of those and I'm content for the next 12 hours

I have 0 cravings for food right now , bullet proof coffee in am then salad & meat for dinner barley can eat more then one meal a day ( blood ketones where 2.8 last night now .5 ?)
