  • my guts can't take the sugar alcohols, just kills me so I avoid them and the bars altogether. I'm experimenting with erythritol this week. Says it doesnt effect people like most sugar alcohols and has an even lower glycemic effect than xylitol. has a cooling effect aftertaste is the worst I've heard but I wanted to have…
  • I have supplements for Calcium and Mag and just use a boullion cube in hot water to sip on for salt, or eat dill pickles. I try not to drink anything but water tho....I do have real lemon and liquid stevia for lemonade but never heard of putting salt in that! Learning some new tricks here, this is good, lol! Hot tea with…
  • BTW, my daughter has been a proponent of low fat for years, staunch! She's been loading up on pounds lately and I have convinced her to eat the fat with me. So 5 days in, she's already lost 3 pounds and feels like she has discovered the best secret in the universe. Her clothes are already fitting better. After the…
  • when I did low fat I had to exercise religiously 30 min a day to see the scale budge and I was always hungry. it was manageable but not for the long haul. I did Atkins about 12 years ago with great results and no workouts. That dumb gov't food pyramid is such a lie, it will only make your teeth bad and your body will…
  • absolutely use coconut oil in your coffee or just eat a spoonful! use it as much as you can, then you don't worry whipping cream dairy is slowing you down. macadamia nuts, braunsweiger is great too, mix it with mayo and eat it on celery or by itself. Major fats.

  • hey its ok, we've all been there. If you're shaking things up a bit with Keto, check out Dr Eric Berg on youtube. He has a really good video about drinking vinegar and lemon juice before each meal. It begins a cleaning process that works hand in hand with our way of eating. Just say to yourself, that day was a DO-OVER and…

  • it's all gonna be alright, no worries! Rest and don't stress. stress will negate any good work your body is able to accomplish, so just enjoy this time best you can and consider it a mini vacation. Find some good books and movies, you'll be up to snuff in no time!
  • can't believe you posted this, I was just about to start the same thread!!! Listen, I've been with my husband 37 years and I was a normal weight and he was very muscular. Now I have to lose 140 pounds and he has a big belly from Crohns surgery's and other ailments. I try to get him to kick sugars and he grumbles. Passive…

  • I think I just had a huge WHOOSH moment, is this normal? Not to be TMI, but I think I'm cleaning out my system with Keto pretty quickly. Any other lc's have this experience? I feel great today, day 3.
