Thanks for your feedback! I'm a couple weeks in and am truly feeling great. I was thinking the same thing about others in the house. My son had surgery in Nov and has been sitting around as hard as it is because normally hes super sporty. He goes to the gym with me, but he's watching his weight too.....sooo that means that…

I think this WOE could be successful long term but you must tweak ever so carefully! I'm not sure I'm ready to just hope for the best when it comes to my kidneys. I've never had any major health problems aside from having a little weight to lose. I don't want to open the door to something that might go critical. Going to…

Thanks for the info but I'm a huge probiotic person. I have yogurt, saurkraut , olives, pickles kifir etc multiple times per week. That's why I probably never get sick... Until now. I've had probably 2 rounds of antibiotics in 4ish years. I don't take many supplements, maybe MG, fish oil, b complex, d3 but not each and…

Thank you :)

Oh my God! I'm still passing them. I don't want blockage! Noo...you know how scary this is.

Thanks for the ideas! I was always a health food nut even before low carb. I'm a label looker etc. My son is 13 and since I've always stressed moderation when I say I make him sweets I'm talking two times a month I'll make brownies or muffins etc. Dark chocolate 70% or higher was always in the house as an option etc. I've…

Thanks for the ideas. Does the sugar free jello have no carb? How do they sweeten it? I know that I don't like the way aspartame tastes. But sounds like a great option otherwise!

Thanks for the idea! I love natural sweet too!

Trying it! I always bought 70% or higher before low carb so I'm sure I can swing this. Love the Pb and choc combo especially! Thanks!

I agree! Nature's candy

I was thinking this too... I will def choose fruit and whipped cream. Maybe even freeze some for summer. Very naturally sweet that way.

Ooooh, if you say this is good in going to try it... Just a go-to one in awhile thing. I must be prepared! :) Thanks

Wow, these look delish! Thank you! I will def be making some for weekend treats ;)

Thanks for all your ideas! I will have to experiment. I'm trying to set myself up for the best possible indulgence. I have a son in the house and I make him treats plus even on low carb I crave one once in awhile. I guess I need to look into which sweets satiate yet keep me on track. I would like to maintain this lifestyle…

I was thinking the same thing when making my list for which supp to incorporate.

Thanks for these ideas, much appreciated.

This! ^^^^^^ so true.. Delicious foods that fill and service your body, heart, and mind.

I have spinach and broccoli every day. Just had spinach for lunch today. Just have to make room with you carb allotment. But I understand wanting enough carbs to have berries and such too. I'll eventually be low carb and not keto for maintenance. Both are great for health and lifestyle Imo.

Canola is bad for you. Side with Olive oil. Extra Virgin if you don't mind the taste. It disguises easy in recipes!

It's both. I don't like either. I get a headache and know it's time for some salt. 15 minutes later headache is gone. So salt all day, plus the keytone taste. I'd love to take what I need for salt supp then only have the key tone taste to worry about. Chewing fennel seed helps and it's good for digestion but no cure.

Ah another idea, I might have to. I really dislike the mouth taste with salt and keto.. That's about the only thing that bothers me though!

I feel like I'm drinking water because I'm thirsty for the most part. I drink it throughout the night because I wake up thirsty or with salt mouth. That's why I asked about the Na intake. I didn't know if it alleviated. I'm a couple weeks in with ketosis.

Thanks for sharing. I will look into this too.

Oh, I have not. I am interested in something like that. I've been salting everything with pink himalayan salt as I know it has other minerals such a potassium magnesium etc I'd like to look into what you mentioned. Thanks

Will the salt thing always be a constant? Salty mouth is horrible. I drink water and salt like a job.

Thanks for sharing Gale

Hi, your lunch menu sounds delish. Is it keto? Either way may I have the recipe? :) I love that flavor combo!

Thank you for sharing :) Interesting stuff!

Oooh Bravo!! Yes that series is Awesome. Towards the end of it I believe is the one about all the facts and charts. Real life studies. One had 68k people included it it. It covered mortality rate comparisons, stroke, sodium, cholesterol, comparison of countries and who's doing what over many years. Great series. Thanks for…

Yeah, I've watched hours of his informative vids. I've shared a couple on my page. I really love all the graphs and facts he displayed over time in one. Well actually another keto/low carb forum participant introduced me. Plus he's a nephrologist so he deals with people battling diabetes and obesity hence his knowledge…
