When I saw 12 weeks I figured likely Canadian. I really hope y'all get domestic production going again. That can has been kicked down the road far too long. The stretching of doses stinks, but at least your past the first major hurdle! Dose 1 was bad for me. Migraines, nausea, blood pressure spiked badly, etc. It felt like…

926, but I am exhausted and feel like I am barely able to make the basic effort anymore. :( Still, I keep logging in, log weight, and try to kickstart back to logging all foods.

And back from my trip. Somehow, 10lbs down. Not from trying. A few jogs for a few miles, 5+ miles hiking, trail running, etc. Got back much later than expected so gym schedule might get pushed a day this week. Hope everyone else had a good time. Good luck to everyone!

Are you a diabetic by any chance? Ketoacidosis is a risk for those with Diabetes IIRR. If you are, google some articles on DKA and Keto management.

I usually do 200-500ml of soup stock when I get that way if I don't have ketorade on hand. So easy to forget we can need more salt than normal. Luckily it clears the brain fog fast.

I've found a lot of them that are 1-2g of carbs without even being sugarfree. The powdered coffeemate normal stuff is like that. I just drink my coffee with almond milk since I hate the stuff anyway, but there are some nice keto or low carb options to be found for sure. I ordered a bag of bulk sucralose ages back and it…

Just an idea, but something people can easily miss: What are you drinking every day? Are you eating anything like mints? It's easy enough to go through a bunch of mints and eat a few days worth of carbs without thought. Likewise for drinks. So many drinks are just slapperdash filled with sugar. For me, I know I'm in…

Good luck y'all! It's nice to get a few days into ketosis and start feeling great again.
