I know! For the longest time I would always avoid protein powders or shakes or bars because I would always have a hard time staying UNDER my protein limit. But lately I've noticed I've been either really under my limit or just barely reaching it. I thought I'd never see the day when I seriously consider protein shakes…

I really enjoy Katherine Michelle on YT, she has a MFP account too http://www.myfitnesspal.com/profile/ksalom

Try not to do that for too long... living at a severe calorie deficit can really mess with your metabolism if you're not mindful, which will make it hard to keep that weight off in the long run :smile:

Your body fluctuates in weight throughout the day, it's natural :smile: I was also really obsessed with weighing myself every single day, but that can be just as discouraging and rewarding because of the daily differences. I now weigh and record every 4 days.

Everyone I've heard talking about it say the brand doesn't particularly matter. I've used two different brands and didn't see any notable differences.

I use the Keto sticks too, and from what I understand they lose effectiveness the longer you're on the lifestyle. Last I checked mine I was a 1.5, and I've been been Keto exclusive for over a month, exploring it since last December. I don't know. The more effective way is to check your blood in a device similar to how one…

I generally go to KetoConnect.net for recipes (ketoconnect on YouTube ) and MindOverMunch on YouTube for Meal prepping ideas. Could watch those two all day long :lol:

Honestly, it's not necessary. You know when your body is in ketosis, or at least fat adapted . Being mindful of the low carbs thing you're using (whole foods I'm assuming since those don't come with a nutrition label :disappointed: ) and the foods that are higher in fat should keep you full. Count if you want, but you…

Haha, I'm in that same boat. I was hoping the stores would have just egg yolks(since they have a million different brands of egg whites). So many egg whites wasted :neutral:

It depends on the recipe you're using, but I don't think it would hit 10 carbs. When I make it I use half almond flour, half flax meal, which is 1 tbsp each. Those are the most carb heavy ingredients in the dough.

I know how tempting a low calorie diet is with its fast results. But think of your long term. Eating at a major deficit for long periods of time will seriously impact your metabolism. Remember all the contestants of the biggest loser? Me neither, there's a reason we don't have any reunions or anything. They gain all…

I have the exact same problem, even after being on Keto for a few months now. I Have been incorporating both Butter and MCT oil into any food I can sneak it into (coffee/tea, sauces, baking recipes, fat bombs, ect.). And speaking of fat bombs, those are very helpful. Most people make them as deserts but they don't have to…

@anelyaG I've seen it sold at my local Kroger but I purchased mine from Thrivemarket.com https://thrivemarket.com/p/bragg-liquid-aminos

@anelyaG I like to use liquid aminos in place of soy sauce. It tastes similar. The first ingredient is "Vegetable protein from soybeans", I know soy isn't the best for keto, but it's a lot better for us than straight up soy sauce :p

Part of my meal prep routine last week, my own take of fat head pizza crust using half almond-flour, half ground flax meal. Sooo yum >:) <3
