  • Just got back on keto after having my baby a year ago! Definitely looking for some support 😊
  • I wish there was a like button!
  • You are welcome to add me too. I'm happy to support everyone on their journey!
  • I eat a serving every single day and have no problem at all. I did have a stall for a few weeks in December but perseverance seemed to do the trick for me. I really can't understand it being a factor either. I guess the only way to find out is to go some time without them. But in my case I'd rather eat my nuts and not see…
  • I do most of my shopping at Kroger too and what really gets to me are the substance of coupons themselves!! In my little booklet I get coupons for free boxes of crackers and cookies, free potato chips, coupons for all kinds of junk. I usually scan through my app before I go grocery shopping to see if there's any offers to…
  • Congratulations on making the choice to be healthy!! It makes me so happy to see people who want to give alcohol the boot. I used to be a huge drinker myself and my husband as well and in retrospect it only sabotaged my self worth and confidence. The strength I feel from accomplishing weight loss is far better than the…
  • I have a few friends on MFP that have gone astray but I've been friends with them for so long I'm crossing my fingers and toes I see them back in the game. But if someone adds me and then falls off the MFP cliff and isn't to be seen or heard from in months I usually delete them. You have to make this decision to be healthy…
  • As others said, this is quite low unless you are already close to your goal weight. I would recommend using that keto calculator that was posted above so you can accurately set yourself a goal for weight loss and give yourself a realistic calorie budget everyday. It makes a big difference being able to eat more and sustain…
  • I just do 14g which equals one tbsp in my coffee every morning. I tend to get my fats from various sources throughout the day (bacon, cream, eggs, etc.) and cook with olive oil or bacon fat when it comes to grilling veggies. All down to your personal preference!
  • I have, or had PCOS for 10 years. Following a big drop in weight and fine tuning my eating habits, my PCOS has pretty much disappeared. My last gyno suggested a low carb diet, but I had been a carboholic for so long I shrugged the advice off. Going low carb or keto in my case has been a life saver. No longer do I fear…
  • That's incredible progress! Imagine what you'll achieve in a year
  • I think everyone is very different and in my own personal experience, yes it does. I do agree with the majority of responses here regarding fats as natural lubricants and the ease of IBS symptoms alongside a ketogenic diet. But again, everyone is different and "regularity" is subjective to each individual. I would…
  • I just added it into my diet and I'm so glad I did. Only really adds 3-4 net carbs onto my daily numbers so I make room for it with my other food choices.
  • I don't know how much help I can give you but I am a fellow migraine sufferer too. My first one was when I was 3 and I was regularly in and out of the hospital as a child because they made me violently sick. I started seeing a neurologist about 12 years ago and I felt like a Guinea pig. One medication started making me…
  • If there was a statement on the top of this forum for Keto I must have missed it. It's nowhere to be found. You are saying we are not allowed to post in the main forum? That's the most bizarre thing I've ever heard on here. Moderators are welcome to close or delete this thread, it is clear to me that confiding in like…
  • I'm always in purple and I'm doing great :)
  • Mine is around 65-75g protein 115-120g fat 15-18g carbs I eat around 1400-1450 calories unless I'm excessively active!
  • I follow a keto eating plan and make a quiche every few days to split up into 8 servings - 4 days of breakfast for my husband and I. It's amazing and decadent and the reason I get out of bed in the morning. I blend in my stand mixer 1 1/2 cups cream and 4 eggs until I reach a thick and creamy consistency (low speed). I…
  • Bacon!! And I found Brie at whole foods last week for $2.99
  • Where do you live? There might be someone in this thread or reading it who can be a resource to you. I would love to know if I can help. I will mail you free seed and gardening seeds when winter is over if that would help at all.
  • Your net carbs are your grams of fiber subtracted from your carbs.
  • Oh man id ove to visit that's amazing!!
  • How much weight are you trying to lose? How restrictive is your eating habit? If you open up your diary I am sure you can get some helpful feedback. Everyone cheats on their journey, it comes down to how bad you want to change.
  • Wow I was actually wanting to make a post about this tonight!! Keto has done WONDERS for my skin. I work in the skincare industry and always fought adult acne and it was so embarrassing for so long. I always thought my diet was to blame, but my mistake was thinking the culprit was low quality dairy or excess dairy. For me…
  • Hey Tiwa, The Ketogenic Cookbook and Bacon & Butter have been great cookbooks for me and helped me integrate meal prepping into my keto lifestyle. Grab a few books or research online to find what sounds appealing to you. Make a grocery list and dive right in. Personally I only meal prep for breakfast and all of my food…
  • I'm a keto dieter! Been doing it for close to a month now and nothing has made such a difference in my health and body composition as this. I love it and if love to help support anyone starting a keto lifestyle! Feel free to add me or anyone else in this topic :smile:
  • I started out wanting to lose 120 lbs, and I have 53 left to go :smile: I follow a LCHF diet but love to be supportive of everyone's journey! I'm actively on MFP and log daily. Feel free to add me and anyone on here!
  • You guys rule!! So much success here how can you not be motivated..
  • Thank you, I added both of you!! I used to be a bread baker and was very avid on following the IIFYM lifestyle. I think that's what hindered my progress so much, just eating whatever I wanted, devoid of any nutritional benefit as long as it fit within my calories for the day. 65 lbs ago I was getting close to insulin…
  • I just put on a chili this morning! I'd be happy to share my recipe. I usually wing it with my chili depending on what's in the fridge, but here's what it ended up being today. Serves 6 at 390 calories per serving. I really like kidney beans so I toss a lot in my chili, but it's easy to manipulate a chili recipe so get…
