  • Probably TMI, but even before "keto crotch" came out, I noticed a very odd odor that I wondered about. HOWEVER, I stopped my L-Carnitine and Apple cider vinegar (with mother) capsules, and WaLa. Odor gone.

  • I messed up, the seed bread has 2 Net carbs (not 3). 8 total carbs with 6 grams fiber. The progranola is cinnamon vanilla flavored and can also be used as cereal. It has 14 carbs per serving and 12 grams fiber, so 2 NET carbs. I saw a post looking for a cereal substitute somewhere but can't find that post. I realize true…

  • I bought the seed bread and also the pro granola, and both are very good. I have only had the bread toasted though, and a bit expensive, but the 3 loaves should probably last 2 to 3 months. https://julianbakery.com/

  • I was "ketoing" for the first 4 or 5 weeks at 20 or less, but knew I would "fall off" if I kept at it. I am now shooting for 50 total carbs, but occasionally take the net carb approach. I bought some "low carb" bread (net 3 carbs per slice) and some low carb pro granola (Net 2 carbs per serving). I will have to see how it…

  • I haven't weighed in a couple weeks, but did yesterday, about 8 (?) weeks in. I think I lost 8 OUNCES! IN TWO WEEKS! I am in a contest where we are seeing who loses the most FAT, as opposed to pounds. I am trying to start walking more at work. I have one more week to go, but my pants are much looser and longer (probably…

  • I can say I was hungry, and there is something about this one store's chocolate cake, it's soooooooooo good....the strawberry lemon cream cake was on sale (looked delicious), but I am a sucker for all things 50% off or more, and it was below half price. I am seriously addicted to food sales. My freezers are full of steak!…

  • I don't know what drove me to this "diet". I don't know why "today" led me to crave carbs. I was doing 20 net a day. I was craving chocolate and other stuff today, but I "kinda" stopped the stuff, as I promised my son I would wait for him, and he will be here in a week or less.

  • I actually read up on this WOE a few months before I started. Looking at diets, from low fat, to low carb, etc. This one seemed to be the one that would benefit me at THIS point in my life. I was a fat teen, started WW with gramma, got bulimia from HS to college, got married, pregnant, quit the bulimia, lost weight on my…

  • It's odd, but after eating a few glazed walnuts/cranberries (not pecans) and having a few croutons, I stepped on the scale today and was down 3 pounds from Monday. I weighed on two scales, and both were the same. I did find out that the few cranberries and walnuts didn't have as many carbs as I thought, which was nice to…

  • I lost 6 pounds in the first 10 days, and I am maybe down a pound more and will be 4 weeks in (on LCHF) Monday. I was pretty disappointed when I stepped on the scale today. I never measured when I started, but wish I had as my bras now "fit" again, my too-short pants are now the right length, and my pants that were long…

  • I am new to this WOE also, and I use the pepperoni as the "crust" for pizza by layering it, then topping with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, then adding a handful of frozen peppers and onions and a few black olive slices. I put all that on a plate, cover the plate with another upside down plate to prevent splattering, and…

  • I wouldn't know how to measure if I took 4 classes in it. Meanwhile (and yes, I have a bachelors degree), My bras fit now (without gaps), pants are looser, and I WILL NOT WEIGH weekly. I enrolled in a contest at the end of January that ends like March 11. I intend to win. :)
