I think when people notice such an accomplishment, they often feel that they should say something, but they're not sure what to say. So then, something silly or maybe a little insensitive-sounding comes out. It's likely not malicious, just awkward. However, *I'd* like to say: Bravo to you!! You must be so proud of your…

I got keto flu when I first started and I'm going to tell you ... stay hydrated and Eat The Salt. Drink broth WITH SODIUM if your health will allow it. It will pass and once you're fat adapted, you will likely not get it again. I went off keto for eight days at the beginning of the year. (I was in Chicago visiting my…

Wooo hooo! I've gone from an 18 to a loose 14/comfy 12 and I'm doing a "Squeaky Clean" challenge right now but normally I'm a "Dirty Keto Macros Girl" myself. I feel great and my blood sugar is always good. Whatever keeps the diabetes away, I'm on board!!

I've been doing keto for about 10 months and I've lost about 45 lbs (my lowest was 51 lbs down but I just got back from a "keto out the window for a week" visit with my daughter in Chicago, so I'm working on those Thai noodle regrets now. 😊 ) I keep my carbs under 20g per day and when I hit a lull, I kick start myself with…

I'll be 50 in April and a year ago I became acutely concerned that if I couldn't get my weight managed by then, I might not ever. I did calorie counting for the first couple of months, then switched to "not-super-strict" keto because diabetes is rampant in my family and I'm getting to "that age." Keto isn't for everyone…

I'll also say this. If you're going to live the keto lifestyle, (and it is a FOREVER lifestyle,) absolutely invest in a good food scale. Weighing your food is the most accurate way to track your macros, because carbs are sneaky. Tracking by weight (grams) allows you to add up those "partial carbs" to help eliminate…

You can have fruit, but eating fruit does max out your carb allotment really quickly. I treat my carbs like money. I have 20 per day to spend, so if I'm going to splurge it has to be something really worth it. My favorite fruit is blackberries, which are a great choice for the keto lifestyle because 1) they're a low…

I've been keto since March. I use it to manage my insulin response, because diabetes is rampant in my family, and I'm trying to avoid it for as long as possible. The great side effect of this is that I've lost nearly 50 pounds, and I'm practically never hungry.
