Info on the metal taste: Try adding a B5 vitamin: https://www.drberg.com/blog/what-to-do-when-you-get-fatigued-on-the-ketosis-diet

Taste of metal is a sign of ketosis, I’ve read. I’ll try to find the source and post a link. I’m wondering if you need more electrolytes or a multi-vitamin for the sluggishness and irritability?

Also, it’s day 23 for me and I’m down 9.8 lbs. If I’m honest, I’m down 13 lbs from my all-time highest weight, which is what I hit before realizing something had to change and fast. I was trying out Keto a few days before launching this thread...so glad I stuck with it. You all have helped so much! I have “restarted” two…

Favorite lunch options? Burning out on salad!

Search Keto and you will see a few threads and groups with others who are doing the Keto way of eating. I started one thread that is a 30 day challenge that is quite active with tons of supportive people!

If I’m short on calories at end of day and looking for a sweet treat (high in fat), a favorite and easy option I like is to whip together 4tbsp of heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder and stevia into a chocolate mouse. Or add a little pb fit to make an almost fudge-like consistency...bet it would be good if you topped it…

Today was off track for me. Had a potluck at work that I didn’t plan for well. I ate more carbs than I should have...it’s really hard for me to resist sweets when I’m out of routine. But overall I stayed under my calorie goal for the day, am pushing water and am getting right back on track tomorrow.

I use a ninja blender and blend it for maybe 15-20 seconds. Once I add butter, whip cream etc. those ingredients bring the temperature down to more of a warm temperature vs hot so I don’t worry about using blender. I do feel that the blender pressurizes just a little bit because of the added heat so I do choose to open it…

I personally track everything but subtract my fiber from my carbs. I shoot for 20 carbs a day, give or take about 5 carbs. I think there are differences in how people do this and key is finding what works best for you. :)

There is some evidence to support that gelatin daily supports weight loss, helps with keeping blood sugar levels and thyroid levels stable, and may be helpful with none and joint health. It’s also great for your hair, nails and skin. The unflavored kind is tasteless so I can’t taste any difference when it’s in my coffee or…

This is my favorite coffee recipe so far- Coffee Grass-fed butter Tbsp or so of heavy whipping cream Knox unflavored gelatin - just a sprinkle 1 stevia packet 1 tbsp of sugar free hazelnut syrup Dash of cinnamon Blend and enjoy!

A favorite dinner I am enjoying this week is beef nachos with pork rinds instead of tortilla chips. Yum!

Needed a quick lunch option today and did some quick googling so I could show up at Chick Fil A with a plan. Landed on 12-piece grilled nuggets, the Avocado Lime dressing and a Diet Coke. It was delicious and I don’t feel like I sacrificed a thing!

Meals tracked for the day; met my macros and came in a little under calorie goal. Hoping to be back in ketosis again by tomorrow or Thurs. An unexpected death in our family derailed me a bit because I am really dependent on having a plan for my meals each day (until this way of eating is a more established habit).

Welcome!!!

Did good with following the plan until dinner last night; then had a family dinner following a viewing...ate some high carb foods. Back on track this morning though. My weight had been holding steady for three days so I’m curious to see how my body responds to yesterday. I’m hoping that when I get back into ketosis that…

I’m counting calories but it’s not my primary focus. I think you should be able to eat more calories and still lose as long as macros are correct. Curious as to what others have experienced.
-
My sugar cravings were off the chart too which was a huge part of my weight problem. This is the first time in over a year I have not felt like I’m constantly battling the urge to eat sweets!

Are you drinking enough water? I shoot for at least 60 oz a day
-
Yes

I buy Crystal Light and carry packs with me to add to my bottle of water from time to time when I get tired of water.

I’m All tracked for the day and stayed on track all day! Now, time to plan my meals for tomorrow. I meal prepped egg cups for this week which I really think has helped me a great deal. Having something easy, on plan and that tastes good to start the day is a good way to get positive momentum going for the rest of the day.…

I’ve given it up- which is not easy! I have a huge bottle of wine in my fridge that I hate to waste!

Anyone know if I can have a sugar-free small slurpee (they are free today) without it spiking my glucose levels?
