I just started my 5th week on keto. Only thing I've noticed so far is my energy level is up. Sure hope it helps with my wrinkles though 😃

A 2 pound weight loss in a week is good! My aim is to lose 1.5 lbs a week although since starting keto I average around 3 but I'm a big believer that if you lose weight too fast it seems to come back, at least with me. I've been on Keto for a month now and still in the learning process myself. Good luck on your journey!

I stay between 20-40 grams a day.

I've got my fat set at 70%, 128 grams a day of healthy fats. It's hard for me to eat that much fat in a day so to meet my goal I'll either eat a couple tablespoons of all natural peanut butter or an avocado.

I've noticed a lot of keto recipes call for pink salt. What's the difference between regular table salt and pink salt?

If I need a quick/easy breakfast I make scrambled eggs with sliced mushrooms and cheese on top. Or sometimes I do scrambled eggs with avocado slices and salsa on top of eggs.

Today is weigh-in day...I'm up 0.8 this week. I know what happened...I'm not too bummed about it, just looking forward to starting a new week!!

Hi Sakura_Tree, welcome to the group. I'm fairly new to keto (starting my 5th week). I really like it, it's a lot easier to stick with than any of the diets I've been on in the past 😊.

Thank you all for your input. I too was under the impression that too much protein would hinder ketosis. That's what I've read when researching keto diet. Hopefully this newbie will get it all figured out!

I try not to go over on anything but for some reason I get in touble with the carbs. Looks like increasing my carbs to 10% may do the trick about going over.

Thank you for your input. Maybe I need to lower my calories a little.

For sore muscles I like to soak in a tub of hot water with about 2 cups Epsom salts dissolved in it.

I've been on keto for 3 weeks. There's good advice and recipes on dietdoctor.com There's a keto calculator where you put in your info...age, height, weight, activity level etc. it tells you how many calories and macros (fat, protein and carbs) you should have a day. I save all the keto recipes I find on my Pinterest page…

I weighed in this morning. I gained 0.2, not as bad as I thought it'd be. Last couple days was rough with the holiday but now that the 4th is over its time to get serious again!

I had mine set to same thing cause that's what was recommended for me also but seems like I was always going over on carbs. I want to be in ketosis and burn fat. Good idea with the keto sticks!

I didn't realize how many vegetables have carbs, heck 1 salad would use up half my carbs :( Hopefully changing my carbs to 10% will help.

Happy 4th of July to all my USA friends🎈 I've been struggling last couple days on keto. Didn't do too good yesterday, stayed below my calories but went over on my carbs/sugar. When I first started keto last week I jumped right in on a strict keto! Thinking about changing my macros so they're not quiet as strict and work my…

Good job👍🏼. This is my 2nd week on keto. I did real good first week but slipped up myself last 2 days. We can do this!!

I never thought of using them for nachos. Thank you for the idea.

I haven't made the cloud bread yet, as matter of fact I haven't made any keto bread yet. I'm just starting my 2nd week on keto and learning what to eat and not eat. Wow those almond cream cheese pancakes sound wonderful. I will definitely be making those! I started a board on my Penterest page that I call Keto Recipes. I'm…

That's my go-to web site I use almost on a daily basis. Love that site!

Hi Sugarnspice, hope you're having a great day.

Oh I forgot...you can dip the meat/vegetables in a beaten egg before dipping it in the crushed pork rinds, helps the pork rinds to stick to whatever your cooking. I did this to asparagus spears but I added salt, pepper and shredded Parmesan cheese to the crushed pork rinds before dipping the asparagus in it (but first dip…

I discovered fried pork rinds are very keto friendly, no carbs/sugar in them. I've started eating them in place of potato chips. I also learned that you can crush them up really fine (like flour) and dip meat (or whatever you're going to fry/bake in the crushed pork rinds before cooking. It gives a crust to the…

Question about keto bread...what's best: keto bread or cloud bread?

d_dc_lady thank you. I never thought of looking up keto gravy. Last week was my first week ever to do keto so I wasn't really for sure what I could/couldn't eat. I have a list of "yes" foods and "no" foods and stuck to the "yes" foods only. About halfway through the week I searched keto recipes (easy ones) so i could eat…

I'm new to keto too. Last week was my first week. First couple days was a little rough cause I wasn't for sure how to cook keto so I went on penterest and did a search for keto recipes. Once I started cooking keto recipes it got easier. Yesterday I started week 2 so hopefully it'll be easier this week!

I didn't think gravy was a keto food because of the flour used to thicken it.
