maybe a bulletproof coffee? I find adding coconut oil and heavy cream to a coffee keeps me full. You can also add butter.

my scales jump all over the place, but the trend always ends up downwards :)

love it!

Im in Australia and i found a normal strength low carb beer (2g carbs per bottle) its called pure blond - it has made celebrations much more fun :) also discovered a 0 carb wine but im not remembering the name atm

i found dextrose in my tube of minced garlic :( back to crushing my own

I wish i could get my family to switch over, hubby lasted 5 days low carb and kids wont even consider it, although the meals i cook for them could be classed as low carb (not keto) I cant control what goes into their mouths outside the house :( Id love it if they got on board

my weight will bounce around for a week then i will have a proper drop - if you are not hungry on what you are eating it looks fine to me - just keep at it :)

best of luck - and thanks for the info :)

after 4 weeks i bet if you "cheat" you find that what you craved is not as nice as it was in your imagination :) sometimes i think its worth doing now and then to remind yourself just how awesome you feel on keto - and that the cheats are just not worth it. :)

I eat no less vegies than before low carb (i pretty much spend all my carbs on salad and veg) I feel it has more to do with the processed carbs causing gas as i very rarely expel gas any more at all and when i do its odorless - unless i have a cheat day and eat processed things, then im gassy for at least 48 hours :(

I am on two kinds of antidepressants and both have weight gain as a side effect (on them for 3 years and gained 30 kilo!!!) Since going low carb I find i have much more control over the cravings (they seem to make me crave carbs - by reducing my carbs i craved less) Since going keto i have been able to reduce my meds by…

I have been on this journey for a year now for weight loss and other health benefits. 20 kilos lost in 9 months low carb, 13 kilos lost in 3 months keto - still 10 kilo to go :) Best tips: 1. just keep on going, if you slip, get back on track with your next meal. 2. read the low carb forum for hints, tips and motivation…

I ate low carb for 9 months and would often fantasize about and crave carby foods (without giving in) it was a bit of a mental struggle. After i went keto the cravings and all hunger between meals completely vanished. I just don't think about food at all any more :)

I had never heard of it before reading this post - thankfully my cream (store brand - non organic cheap stuff) does not contain it. It can be sneaky though not always listed clearly :( ... In Australia, foods containing carrageenan will contain one of the following labels: ‘vegetable gum (407)’, ‘carrageenan gum’, or…

Still good here thanks kittykidee :) ... Thanks Sunny_Bunnie. ... think you have nailed it ... maybe some extra salad with my fatty meat tonight :)

a great read thanks for sharing!

Nuts and cheese are good low carb calorie dense higher fat foods that can bump up your totals if really running too low

Thanks girls, .. now to remember this is not an excuse to splurge lol

also a bit confused here, i pigged out big time xmas day - more carbs than i usually eat in a week - yet i'm pretty sure two days later I'm back in ketosis - in fact my appetite is lower than ever - couldn't make it to my caloric goal yesterday and had to force myself to have a snack bar and coffee today at lunch time - no…

My biggest weakness is my home made vanilla slice, I used to bake it for my family but i just cant resist a slice if its in the house, so now i bake them things i don't feel tempted by instead. I don't even have a sweet tooth really but the thought of it consumes me, i have even woken from dreams of eating it! I have my…
