  • 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. High-carb drinks will trigger an insulin response (maybe that's what you're thinking?), but there are plenty of low- or zero-carb alcohol…

  • 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. I tried all the carb…

  • If I'm having nuts, I'll weigh them out first into a bowl, and limit myself that way. 1oz or 2 oz max.....depending on where I am with my calorie limits for the day.

  • 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…
