So I cut the carrots out of my menu for two days...and tested with a strip and it showed moderate ketones. I am embarrassed to say how many cups off carrots I was eating a day! In my defense I thought there was only two carbs per cup..lol

OMG.....would explain why I am not showing ketones at all on my pee stick! I am way over my carbs for the day. My weight loss had stopped and I was wondering why. Your right I should weigh my food I had started off doing that but got lazy.... Thank you for the link!

Yes it is a whey protein. I am new to all of this so I appreciate all the help. Is it being an insulinogenic a bad thing?

I have been feeling great, and am losing weight so I guess I won't get hung up on the test strips. I feel like when the strips test positive it's a pat on the back. Shows proof...if that makes any sense..lol I don't have any health issues so I really don't need to test my blood.

meant to say...I weigh and measure everything.

I did test first thing this morning, maybe I will try tonight. It is a brand new jar but maybe I got a bad stick. I don't eat sugar free products, funny I was just goggling the Russell Stover chocolates and was thinking about getting some. Maybe I will stay away from them. I use a protein powder for my breakfast...maybe it…

My Wal-Mart has them. You have to ask for them.

It's funny, I haven't told anyone about my WOE because I don't want to have to explain myself..lol. My daughter has celiac disease so it is really easy to avoid a lot of carbs. I also have a lot of tummy issues so if anyone does ask any questions I just say my dr wants me to eat this. This works for me so I don't care what…

I drink my BCAAs during my work outs. I get sick of water really fast so it helps me stay hydrated. I might be crazy but the one thing I find is that it really helps me with muscle recovery! It might all be in my head but I swear I am not as sore when I use them. I stopped using them for a while and noticed that I was…

Hi All! I'm 5'8 medium frame. HW: 163 CW: 158 GW: 140 I joined MPF years ago after my baby was born and my weight was really high. I just restarted MFP two weeks ago with the starting weight of 163. I strength train and do cardio almost everyday!

I have a feeling Tequila would make the dizziness worse...lol. I will up my water intake and maybe get a magnesium supplement.

Still felt rather dizzy today...but I did manage to get in 6034mg of sodium. Hopefully I will be able to keep my sodium intake up and start to feel better. Everything else is going great! I have really low blood pressure so I don't think I have to worry about any HBP from sodium. My dr once told me because my BP is so low,…

I'm a ENFJ-T Really interesting and pretty accurate!

thank you for the links, video and all your input! Very interesting, and obviously something I need to learn more about. Felt bad again today...I feel like I am on the verge of fainting and my muscles feel weak. How long does it take to see an improvement once I have increased my sodium?

Wow..ok. I will up it more. I love salty things so that won't be hard! Thanks :smile:

Mmmm pickle juice ..lol. I have no problem trying that! The bullion could work to. I just looked at my food diary and I am getting my 2300mg a day... some days a little more. Maybe it's not the problem.

Thank you :)

Make sure you are staying well hydrated. Being dehydrated can contribute to bad breath.

Sorry got my carbs wrong...I am aiming for 54 grams. And I meant to say feel free to add me :smile:

Hi Everyone! I am new to this and just started on keto a week ago! It took me 4 days to get into ketosis but my daily carb intake is at 45 grams...this is as low as I want to go right now. I think if I limit it anymore I will cheat! I felt pretty awful for the last 2 days but woke up today feeling really good! I am only…

Hi Ladies! I'm 40, 5'8 and 163lbs....I am trying to lose 20lbs. I had joined MFP a few years ago when i was trying to lose my baby weight but never really go into it. I just restarted my journey last week. This time last year I was 140 lbs and hope to get close to that again. I have done a lot of research and reading and…
