Wow thanks, that was a super informative post. Thanks so much!

That is what I originally thought but I think they are different forms measured in different units. This is because if you look at different entries in the database the two measurements don’t stay relative. If they were the same measurement in different units they would stay relative (ex Rae is always 1/8 of IU). Not only…

Lakanto (erythritol and monk fruit) for baking. Stevia for tea and smoothies, the Whole Foods or traders joes stevia powdered extract.

I found out the the green check marks are pretty bogus. They don’t mean the entry is verified for accuracy. The green check marks are applied to user entries when an algorithm determines the entry is “complete”, not “accurate”. Often times they are incorrect. For example, the green check mark for cauliflower shows that 1…

I supplement by adding potassium to my tea & smoothies and other foods throughout the day. But @AnnPT77 makes a good point I hadn’t considered

So you don’t have to do anything with the Rae figure? I’m confused how they relate. On one site it seemed like it was saying the rae figure has to be divided by 12 and then added to the IU figure before dividing it by 5000. But it was hard to understand.

Thai curry soup! So good! https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/paleo-low-carb-thai-chicken-zoodle-soup/

I plan my meals before I eat them so I don’t go over

Hey I ave been keto 4+ years

Dirty keto doesn’t have to do with plant or animals. Meat and veggies are both part of clean keto, especially if the meat is organic and grass fed. It has to do with synthetic or highly processed ingredients. Like if you eat industrial seed oils or synthetic artificial sweeteners and synthetic preservatives.

Can someone explain why they think this is woo? The first statement is true and only I would know that. The second sentence is hardly making any claim. And the last sentence is a question for the OP so that I could better answer their question. And I got 3 woos. To be fair I also got one insightful yet I gave no insights…

I am a recovered coca cola addict. I love Zevia cola. I’m sure it tastes different but I wouldn’t know as I haven’t had a coke in 10 years probably. I remember noticing an after taste in the beginning which was lessened when I ate it with food. They changed their formula but also I think my tastes changed as I cut out…

I agree that it depends on the person, also for cravings. Some people’s cravings would be ignited if they ate high carb fruits. I myself am thinking about adding these back and doing a Paleo keto IIFYM (anything Paleo is allowed IIFYM) but I’m real sensitive to cravings so I’m not sure if it will work for me. Would love to…

Hey I also only needed to lose a little bit. I lost 13-14 lbs. now I’m looking to add muscle and lean out some more. I got some before and after pics if you want to see, friend me

Hey I have an open diary and post pics of my food a lot. I do 20 net carbs and I have no problem reaching my calorie goals (wish I did!) feel free to friend me

After I got over the initial hump of carb separation it was easy and worth it. My taste buds and relationship to food has changed with keto. With carbs I had a hard time controlling myself and I always craved junk food. On keto I enjoy everything I eat, I feel like I can taste everything better. Yet, I am not eating foods…

Was around the same as you OP, I’m almost 5’1, started at around 111 lbs and lost about 12-14lb

Have to agree though! I was lead astray and made to believe I could eat as much fat as I wanted on keto but I ended up gaining fat! I was definitely in ketosis as I had already been keto for a long time, several years on and off and a year completely on keto. After 5 months of a deficit AND keto I finally am around 19%…

I hit my iron everyday by eating crown prince baby boiled clams. They have the highest amount of iron per calorie I’ve seen. I track what I’m going to eat that day and add however many clams I need to reach my iron. Usually I need between .7-1.5 oz.

Hey I’ve been keto for 4+ years. Bacon and butter are not necessarily bad for you. What exactly are you concerned about regarding those ingredients?

I weight lift at the gym. I do Strong Curves

I feel the same way. I can’t skip a day or I lose momentum. But I found a happy middle ground in walking. It’s not a very intense exercise but I do still have to stay accountable and do it. Everyday I walk at least 10k steps, sometimes up to 20k. In addition I weighlift Monday, Wednesday, & Friday.

If I can’t find out the menu beforehand, I just eat before and only get tea and seltzer at the party, or if appropriate (and sometimes even if slightly inappropriate) bring my own food. Personally, it’s just not worth the stress of calculating everything while I’m at the party. I find it stressful to estimate calories on…

Number two but for sleep quality not for weight loss. If my tummy’s rumbling I’m not gonna sleep well. It’s possible that digesting a bunch of food can interrupt your sleep. Even when my tummy isn’t rumbling, I’ll have a hard time staying asleep if I ate too close to bed. If your sleep quality is bad you can have a harder…

Hey also petite! Under 5’1.

I have a Pinterest board called pescatarian kosher keto or something like that. I made it for my pescatarian cousin who keeps kosher. I think if you search it you can find it. I’d get canned wild caught salmon at costco, of course it’s cheaper if you don’t care about wild caught. But it’s really good quality at costco. You…

I have been keto for several years! There’s some keto groups on here

I know people who do plant based keto. Definitely possible. You may need to make some adjustments like using low carb vegetarian protein powders to get your protein since vegan protein sources are higher carb.

Thanks! Keep up the good work! Progress is slower when you’ve got a small amount to lose, so it was all about consistency and patience for me.

I walk 10k-20k steps everyday and I weight lift 3x a week. I do strong curves. I do some walking in the morning and then more throughout the day. On gym days I go whenever it’s not crowded according to google so either 7am or 2/3pm.
