Sorry to hijack the post! But just sharing why besides fiber I looked into having some flax everyday :) I also LOVE dried seaweed chips. Enough iodine for a full day with one pack. Love to supliment with real food when I can. I crave those little packs!

Thanks @TheDevastator I appreciate the information. I think they discovered a specific protein in the last couple of years that appears in childhood and may contribute (or be a part of) the PCOS process. It starts earlier than you think an I’m hoping that they have more information out by the time my daughter hits her teen…

And there has been more recent human and animal studies reviews saying flax MIGHT be useful to decrease tumor size. Originally because it is estrogenic I think years ago they did NOT recommend it. But if you google Flax and Breast Cancer again you will see recent literature reviews for breast cancer and flax seed as…

I have 1 heaping ground up tablespoon of flax a day - most days. I have PCOS. I’ve read that there has been some research for PCOS (a tiny amount) that it MIGHT be beneficial. It CAN affect hormones. Google PCOS flax seed and studies and case reviews in ncbi will appear. I only occasionally have anything with soy. But a…

I listen to 2 Keto Dudes podcast. I believe one of them had a fatty liver and it got better and they talk about it. Not sure what episode. Hopes this helps!

Agree with @Sunny_Bunny_ too much potassium can be dangerous - dangerous to the heart. But low potassium is bad too. I drink one sugar free Propel a day (yeah it has artificial sweetener, but I know it’s made to replenish electrolytes. I couldn’t find a non flavored one anywhere that wasn’t a crazy cost. I went with…

I also like them because they have omega 3’s :) It’s not as much as you get from fish oil, but you get the fiber too. I just use one heaping tablespoon of ground seeds

Hello. I use the plain brown ones ground up (can use a coffee grinder to do this) and mix them in coffee with chocolate protein powder and coconut oil. Makes a nice Keto mocha meal :)

Oh. And as a special treat. Since chocolate is always a treat. 1/2 or 1/3 Lily’s coconut chocolate bar. Really nice to have that during certain times of the month. And the same with Rebel ice cream. They are both so expensive though. So I save them as a treat. Prior to keto I’d have saved chocolate and ice cream as treats…

Just found Paleo granola at Sprouts. With a couple tablespoons of heavy cream it is a great small meal. Also they have odd flavors of almonds there. Thai coconut and salt/vinegar. Another great snack :)

@x_Minerva_x me too!!! I found them really cheap at Walmart too in their Asian food section. My 7 yo daughter started me off on then - she had a friend from school who got her started. So now I have to FIGHT my kids and hide them because both of them love these too lol.

@Soaringrose I agree with you! I don’t buy the fancy premade stuff except for treats occasionally. I didn’t eat ice cream all the time before now, it is still a treat. If for no other reason because Rebel ice cream was $6 a pint :( And Lily’s chocolate is $3.50 a bar. So I trick my mind into only having these or fat bombs…

@zanyterp - Rebel Ice Cream. I found it at Publix. Premade Keto Ice Cream!!!

I traveled to the U.K. and it was a bit tough being a tourist for a week and a half. I prepared by bringing snacks. Also asked for full fat milk (or cream if I could get it) for coffee. The snacks I brought: Slimfast Fat Bombs (whole box) and looks like candy to anyone so easy to not explain. Salted almonds. Bacon Jerky…

So I was right! My near eyesight is the same - hasn’t changed in years. But my Left eye fat vision is better! Yay! I was pretty sure I could see leaves on trees clearer again with no glasses!!!

My husband told me he had trouble finding me in line at a store because he couldn’t recognize me from behind lol I guess it sneaked up on him. Don’t like when people ask how much weight I’ve lost. I know not to ask that...

Also. Look for specials at stores for meats. When they are marked down to sell in a few days I grab and freeze. Ground turkey 1/2 price. Chicken cuts SO cheap too when you do that.

I eat frozen veggies. They are cheaper. Check the price per ounce and make sure locally. Can also rice the frozen cauliflower to not pay the premium per ounce for the smaller prepped bags.

Just adding here. Excited! Anyone addicted to coconut oil - Sam’s has a giant not expensive jar of Virgin Unrefined COLD pressed coconut oil.

Oh, I also agree with @Sunny_Bunny_ about expenses. I eat salads with meat (avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers), taco bowls with cauliflower rice, eggs(so many ways to have them), and just meat with sides of veggies as my meals. What I was eating before keto, but minus any breads or fruits. I do have coconut oil daily, but get a…

Hello! Have you tried just adding a few more carbs in maybe going up 5gm a week or two at a time to see what feels good? See where you are still losing, but feel better and like you can maintain it? I usually get between 20-30 net carbs. Some days a little less and sometimes a tiny bit more. I believe — anyone please…

I agree. Eggs, cheese, butter. All things you’d buy anyway and not expensive. I buy organic unrefined coconut oil in a HUGE container from Walmart. It’s their brand! I eat the chicken breasts and ground turkey I feed the kids and look for closeout sales and freeze the meat. I ate all this prior to keto. I just don’t eat…

I believe you are doing everything right. Have you looked into it being P.I.S.S. - it’s an unfortunate acronym. Google it and keto and you will see some info. It is a common stall that can happen 3-6 weeks after starting. Also. I had a stall not related to that. Or more I slowed down, but was losing really slow. So I…

Really really want Pad Thai. Anyone figured out a good recipe for that with these?

I’m sorry you’ve had that happen. I have PCOS so have gained and lost weight on and off since I was a child. Every time someone (family or friend) makes a comment like that when you get smaller. Even when you are well within a normal BMI and BMI/weight range goal. Like @tcunbeliever said, they aren’t used to seeing you…
