I’ve been using ‘diet doctor’ recipes and all I’ve tried are good.

My BP went down on keto. I still take mess, but the last few times BP at dr's offices have been great. I had a long bout of keto flu in the beginning and boullion helped me. Best of luck!

I just ate over my calories this weekend. I ate some almonds and dry roasted peanuts which added a lot of calories. Then on top of that I ate an Atkins bar treat. That was along with my regular food. I just felt like I had to eat, even though my stomach was not telling me "hunger." I've really been good at following my…

I recently joined diet doctor. I'm a fan too. But it is a paid subscription. I also like the allidoisdreamaboutfood website for recipes. Diet doctor site is anti sweeteners. I still use erythritol & stevia.

I had a plateau for 2 1/2 months. I found I was eating when I wasn't really hungry and too many calories. I used a macro calculator on-line (a few really) and I had to lower the calories from what was shown to me. I also was baking for lchf treats & that's one reason I ate too much. I'm doing better now that I only bake…

When I started I had keto flu for several weeks. Most people do not. I'm sure I had this during the change as my body needed lots of healing. I don't remember having swelling, I did drink boullion for headaches and weakness. It did help me feel better. I also got some potassium supplements. Some people have little or no…

I stalled from too many calories. I lowered goal and started losing, esp when I ate only when I was hungry. I agree that high fat leaves us satiated and we won't feel the need to overeat.

I have trouble with carbs in general. I do eat veggies, but not high carb. I was baking low carb desserts for awhile, but ate too much, so now one recipe a week. I was eating just when I was hungry for awhile, but now with work, I'm back to eating on schedule, esp for breakfast and lunch. I think that's really the most…

Hi! I have been on Keto since May. I had a few mo where I stalled. I need to eat only when I can feel actual hunger. I was baking Keto goodies, but ate them because they were there and tasted good. Too many calories for me. I know it is said we don't need to count calories on Keto, but I just lowered calories and started…

I've just started having a lot of hair come out in my brush. I'm 5 mo into Keto and lost most of my 18 lbs the first 2 mo. Then I was on a plateau for a few mo. I was eating too many calories. I made Keto goodies but ate dessert when I wasn't really hungry. Now I'm trying to eat only when I'm hungry, and started losing…

I tried to make a Keto cheesecake pumpkin pie with a flax meal/flour crust. I had to keep cooking it way over the stated time until the crust started getting too dark. After it cooled I took a bite and it was awful!!! Raw pumpkin taste, dumped right out. Another was Keto brownies made with cauliflower. They tasted awful!!!…

That's fantastic! You're lucky to have a doc that advocated lchf.

I didn't see your diary, but saw the comments about the rice and beans and other carbohydrates. To get yourself into ketosis some programs say to go with 20 carbs per day. You might get some ketosticks to see if you are in ketosis and maintaining. If you are not in ketosis and burning fat, I think the higher calories from…

I started adding the HWC and butter to some k-cup vanilla coffee but only stir it. I'm afraid to add coconut oil without a blender. I only have a whole food blender or a regular size immersion blender. What is the best thing to use that is easy and fast to clean?

Great posts everybody! I've been up and down for about a month now, but clothes fit differently. I bought a tape measure, but keep putting off measuring. I'm T1 diabetic & take way less insulin on LC, so changes have definitely happened in my body. I have not cheated since I started in May, but I'm also deterred by the 4…

Hi! I've tried several dessert recipes from http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com website. They turned out pretty good but I had too bake much longer than she listed. I wonder if she uses convection or something. Has anyone else had this issue?

I have used Swerve and generic erythritol and prefer Swerve. I have Splenda granulated and it worked well in a cheesecake crust. I also purchased sucralose liquid EZ-Sweetz for a cheesecake recipe and it was great. I had to buy it through Amazon. I have pure stevia powder as some stevia products add sugar, monk fruit, and…

Hi! I've been doing Keto lchf for 2 mo now and lost about 13 lbs. I say about because I keep going up and down with water weight. I'm T1 diabetic and I'm on an insulin pump and hardly need to take meal boluses because I count carbs for insulin dosing. I'm hoping to meet other Keto lchf dieters and hear success stories and…

Hi! I'm doing Keto lchf for 2 mos now. I keep losing and gaining water weight. I have lost about 13 lbs. I think logging all my food will help. Just starting today & also started premium. Looking for friends too! I love the recipe builder because I've made several sugar free treats & can add them to my diet diary.
