Good morning Klisajo, It seems like you're off to a good start. The real key to success is preparation. My biggest piece of advice is to cook your meat choices and other items ahead on the weekends, then during the weekdays, you'll only have to stem veggies or make quick salads. The foods you should be eating on Keto are…

Total weight loss as of 1/19...50.4 lbs!!!! YAY!!!!

I absolutely cannot deal with the taste of stevia so I didn't use it. If you make it correctly, I don't think it will taste eggy.

About two years ago, I began having issues with my stomach bloating after two or three bites of food. I visited the two gastroenterologist in my town. The first was completely dismissive; I was referred to the second. I initially saw his PA, who said I had gastroperesis. After waiting months to see the MD, he spent five…

You said you were in maintenance. If I may humbly ask, what were your weigh loss efforts prior to that point? Thanks in advance for sharing.

Today is starting out as another great day. Woke up feeling fantastic and still following the path I've laid out for my Keto journey. What's going on with you?

I made a batch last night. I made half lemon, half lime...lemon is good...don't use lime...it doesn't get solid, even after hours of freezing.

I have a fat bomb recipe and it's made with the alternative sweetener, Swerve. Carbs extremely low at .5gms per serving Cream Cheese & Lemon Fat Bombs 2 lemons 4 oz (1/2 cup) cream cheese 1 stick unsalted butter 3/4 cup coconut oil Sugar Alternative Melt the butter and the coconut oil on low heat. Add the juice from both…

Love the gym pic - that's what's up! Now that I'm fully Keto-adapted, in November when the gyms have sign-up specials, I'll add the recommended exercise to my efforts. We all can change, you just have to want to...

I am on Keto and I consume carbs, which mainly come from the 7-10 cups of vegetables I eat every day. I have been following the advice of Dr. Berg on Youtube. He says eating a LCHF can result in a fatty liver and the green leafy, cruciferous vegetable are needed to help remove dietary and stored fats from the body. Update…

Change is never easy and it's easier to keep doing what we've been doing even though it's not healthy or productive. I think change is like stepping into the unknown, which makes it scary and uncomfortable. Rater than be uncomfortable we embrace what we have...hmmm. But most of the time, change is never as bad as we…

For anyone wanting to figure out how much protein, carbs and fat they should be consuming, try this Keto calculator: http://www.mydreamshape.com/keto-calculator/

I found this recipe for a Keto Milkshake. If anyone tries it, let us know how it turns out. http://thefithousewife.com/recipe/keto-chocolate-milkshake/

Hi Denise, If you need some help with meal planning, I posted a 7 Day Ketogenic Diet Meal Plan on September 30. It may help you reach your goal.

Yes. 1) Following the recipe as written will make a small loaf, 8x4. Double all ingredients to make a 9x5 loaf. 2) When measuring the flours,use a separate spoon to fill measuring cups; level off the top. If you dig into your flour, and pack the flour down, you will end up with more flour than the recipe calls for and your…

Hey everyone, I moved the discussion to General Diet & Weight Loss. The thread is "Keto, Anyone? II. Please meet us over there!!! :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p

Have you ever found a recipe that you feel is suitable for keto meal planning, but the nutritional information was not included? For certain recipes (esp ft bombs), I like to make mini versions, which allows me to feel that I can have more snacks, while not exceeding certain nutrient ranges. Mt fat bomb recipe indicates…

Found this little jewel. It can be a great resource for those who are struggling with shopping and meal planning for keto.

Good evening everyone, In this thread and the previous one (Keto, anyone?), myself as well as others mentioned experiencing issues with inflammation and the various health-related manifestations inflammation can cause. Here's something that supports nutritional efforts and may offer some relief for inflammatory issues:

It's been a tough week and Saturday couldn't have gotten here any sooner. I am grateful for the extra sleep; I needed it. Since life will slow down just a little for the next couple of days, I made a "bigger" breakfast today; a three-egg omelet stuffed with cheddar cheese, bacon, mushroom and spinach...and thanks to…

Anyone wanting to share, participate or learn is welcome here. :)

If you visited the original post, ''Keto, anyone?'', you can see that we had a great exchange of information going but it was more appropriate that we move here.

Unfortunately, There are way too many people everywhere that like to steal other people's joy. The people that are making negative comments are well aware of your progress, but are too spiteful to give you compliments. They should be doing the same thing you are doing, but they don't want to make the effort, so they…

Hey Glass, The discussion moved to Keto, Anyone? II. They only wanted introductions here...please join us....

If you've been following me, you heard me speak of Dr. Eric Berg, on Youtube. Do a search for his videos and it will help you tremendously. Watch them all. You will be glad you did. He'll answer questions you didn't know you had. You two children, you certainly want to be health for, you have to plan . When I began my…

;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) This discussion has moved to Keto, Anyone? II. Join us there !!! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Keep at it up! I personally try to weigh once a month, realizing that my weight will go up and down. Along with high fat, you should be getting a good deal of protein, which will build muscle. Your body will reshape, so don't hang all your measure of success on the scale. We all have a desired weight that we'd like to…

That's the great thing I'm noticing about keto. If you are diligent about things you shouldn't eat as far as your food choice selection, keto convert, ensure that you get enough high quality fat in your diet, you'll notice that you no longer feel like a slave to food. We need to eat to live, not live to eat. There is a…

It feels good to try and actually get results.
