Sore throat has actually gotten better. Sniffles are still here. I want a piece of keto cheesecake the wife made this weekend. End my 24 hour fast in a few. Thanks folks.

I love apple cider vinegar straight. I used to mix it with honey before my keto days. My grandfather drinks 3 tbsp. honey and vinegar mixture. He has for years. Helps his immunity and joints and other things. Any other ideas? All are welcome. Thanks.

Sorry bout the origin of the being wrong... thanks

That's what I said. Yeah after she saw the carb count she felt defeated.

Not sure what stores you have available. I have to second the sardines idea. Also, eggs are very cheap at our Aldi's. Do you ever coupon? I do at Food Lion and some others. Also, some stores reduce meat near the expiration date. Wife and I have found great deals on chicken legs, thighs, lamb, rib-eyes (rarely though), etc.…

Oh I am sorry, I read that wrong. Okay. got ya. Well, that is an idea. Would not having greens and such cause some digestive highway blockages? Just asking.

@esaucier17 explain more about eating meat and fat 3-4 days only. What will your other nonfat nonmeat days consist of?

A lot of these are great. Thanks peeps. Keep 'em coming.

Haven't really done what I would consider a full fledged cheat. The breaded piece of fish and chicken or 2 or 3 at the boat show in South Carolina taught me a lesson. Nothing bad happened, but keto number was surely down a lot. I agree with a lot of the others on here. If I had a full cheat meal or day, it would return…

What about dietary also? Does anyone try to have a streak with as little or no "fill in the blank". Like sweetener, dairy, fat bombs, etc. So many days or meals without sweetener, for example.

Yeah I feel I am doing good so far also. I was thinking of trying some different things though. Maybe cut way back on dairy even though my morning shake is 4 tbsp. of heavy cream. The wife uses cheeses in keto recipes also. I would have to cook and prepare other foods and my shake does me well. Then, I thought, well dairy…

Pork rinds call my name. Is eating the whole bag a bad thing? Pork rinds really need me when college football is on...

I was the same way. Fast loss and then slow. I listened to the peeps here. They reminded me that the body has to catch up. One thing I caught myself doing was nibbling on things I shouldn't. My son's chicken tenders that were breaded. Or whatever. Not saying You are doing that. Just saying.

Oh I know. A lady my wife is close to gave us some Russel Stovers candy once... sugar free. Two pieces, many bathroom visits, and 6 pounds later, I live to tell the story. Xylitol I think was the culprit.

I just meant in tune as far knowing these triggers. @Bonny132 .. your post cracked me up.

So far, I have used Splenda in my coffee when I used to drink coffee on the regular. It was fine both taste and effect on my body. We have used truvia packets in our tea and coffee. That was fine both ways too. We are using Stevia liquid more than the packets. They have been fine both ways also. Maybe I just agree with all…

Before keto, we used the Splenda packets. Okay thanks fro clarifying. Is it better for you than stevia? Or is it just a preference thing?

Well the wife has used mainly the liquid stevia in the little bottle. Truvia very rarely. Erithytol also here and there. So tell me about sucralose. I thought things ending in -ose was sugar. Please enlighten me.

Yay... I would never convince her... probably... I will pass on it... Thanks peeps.

End of May: 262 lbs Started keto on August 22 August 26: 255.5 lbs September 21: 236.6 lbs September 30: 232 lbs October 7: 230.6 lbs October 12: 230.6 lbs October 19: 229.0 lbs

@RowdysLady ... you have helped me tons on here. I was afraid of eating the bad foods for the last two months. At the boat show this past weekend, VIP tickets to the food tent. Protein overload. Still shouldn't have eaten the breaded chicken or breaded fish. Shouldn't have had that taste of cocktail sauce. I did and it…

Honestly, today it feels better than yesterday. And yesterday was pretty good. Thanks everyone.

Oh yes. I remember now. So getting back to good keto numbers? Two days? A week? A month?

In plain terms, gluconeogenesis?

Any idea what the regular time to get back in is on the average?

What is ymmv

Has to be the little bit of brown sugar on the bacon wrapped chicken. Or the sugar in the little bit of cocktail sauce I ate

Ha ha yeah that is me. The male. Thanks. I usually hate pictures. The wife can roll outta bed and take a great one. Me not so much. The picture from yesterday, I thought hey that ain't so bad.

Yeah body has changed, but I am clothed... lol... wanted to see a change in the face. So far, some progress.

Yes that's a Keto Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuit. Real close to the actual deal.
