  • It's actually not the same Lily. Alcohol itself won't trigger an insulin response, whereas carbs from grains and fruit absolutely will convert to glucose and trigger an insulin response.

  • I was in the same boat when I started. Highly sugar-addicted, and desperately seeking ways to substitute my carbs. When I started, I dropped ~20 pounds in the first 10 days, which as others have mentioned, was water weight. I didn't care though - I was so happy to have a big chunk of weight gone.

For example, if a bowl of lettuce has 22g of total carbs, but 20g of dietary fiber, then you would count that as 2g of net carbs. There are carbs in…
  • Hi all! I'm surprised there isn't more keto discussion in these forums, so I'm happy to see some others trying it! I'm 2.5 months into keto, and down 70 pounds. I can't say enough good things about eating this way. Hunger is basically gone, tons of energy, delicious foods, and so much weight loss. Let me know if you have…
