I'm Heidi from Washington state, always looking for new positive friends. Been on Keto between 20-30 g carbs per day since July, minis the last 10 days because I was on a mission trip. Back at it strong today though. :) I also have a Pinterest page under the same user name (Angelrose7777) with lots of keto recipes.

Try the Quest protein bars, they have a net carb between 6 and 10. I will normally eat half a bar for a quick fix. I'm facing the same situation the middle of September, I'm headed with a mission team for 10 days, my foods and meals are pre planned by someone else, only allergies are taken into account. I'll be carrying a…

I keep a supply of the quest cookies n cream, mint Choco chunk, or Oreo cookie bars, to help curb the temptation when things like that come into the office. Net carbs for a quest bar range between 6-10. Depending on the variety you get. Stay strong..lol

Check out Pinterest, lots of recipes I have a lot pinned to my page on Pinterest if you want to find me there. Same username. :)

I put mine in mini cupcake pans with the liners, easy to remove and keeps your hands clean when eating... So YUmmmmmmmmmmmy :)

I do this during work hours, or I used to anyways. I sit a t a desk all day, I always felt hungry, but I knew that on the weekends I could go hours without eating. I finally decided that everytime I get the need to eat at work, I would get up and away from my desk, even if it was only for a few minutes. I am finally out of…

Thank you, I was getting to the fist page, but not the second. I got it now :)

Yes, I have noticed a difference. I have never been regular. Well that has changed. Very consistent now :#

Sw 250 7/2/2016 Cw 232 8/31/2016 Gw for mission trip <225 9/17/2016 End Gw 7/2/2017 = 145-150 Had a couple bad weeks in there where I gained, but on track and loosing. :) Loving this !!!

If you need more fat, check out "fat bombs" on Pinterest. I just made some lemon cream cheese fat bombs last night. There are some really good ones, like the coconut macaroon fat bombs

My Doc is working with me on the keto diet. I needed to up my fat intake. He recommended 3tbls coconut oil. I have a hard time with the taste, so he has me using MCT oil or powder. 3 tbls a day. It has no taste and can be mixed with drink or food. Of course do your research to see if it will work for you...

Spokane, Was here :)

Sw 250 W 8/25/16- 235 GW 9/17/16- 225 End GW 145 Still working for 225 by the time I leave for a missions trip Sept. 17.... "The little engine that could"... I think I can, I think I can, I think I can... I know I can, I know I can, I know I can :)

But there is still color. If you have not started into Ketosis, if I understand correctly, you would not be expelling ketones. It's my opinion, but I like to know I'm at least on track to were I should be, not having any indication if what I'm doing is right or wrong is worse than having only a light color. I will also say…

The local drug stores sell ketostrips, that can tell you if your body is expelling ketones. If your in Ketosis, the test strip will change color, the more ketones the darker the strip... :)

So I've been on Keto for week over 8 weeks now. Lost a lot the first 3 weeks, had a bad week, then hit a plateau. I'm working with my doc to see what choices I'm making in correctly. One note, he had me eating salt 2x a day, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and a probiotic, as I suffered from constipation issues... I am down…
