check into ketogenic diet.. big reduction in carbs which convert to sugar, and increase in protein and good fats. good luck!

I'm nervous too! Keto is exactly opposite of how i've been eating for years, however, with all the juicing and low fat stuff i've been doing, now my blood sugar is up. living can be very confusing!! when did you start keto? i'm a week into it and struggling.

when are you guys doing a weekly weigh? Sunday or Monday?

40 in 6 mos is amazing too! do you exercise like a fiend? ! ;-) my left leg had 2 knee surgeries so that + weight gives me a bit of a problem.

that's so great!!! how do you feel? 60lbs crept up on me and I feel like crap! hope to be consistent and get rid of it!

Sat 8/13 uggh. not sure what I'm doing! having difficulty with macros meeting required calorie intake for keto... plus not really hungry!! Logged: :smile: Water: :smile: ... continuing on. weigh day in the morning.. scared!!

how do you edit the post? i'm unable to "quote" a post or get back into mine to post the dates...are we supposed to make a new post each week?? spreadsheet seems like s good idea, but i dont have a google email to access the app. any suggestions or do i just have to track it somewhere else? thx **ahh. i guess a post can…

thanks everyone! its late right now but i'll dig into this in the am!

it's GOOD! i think the capers make it! :smile:

sorry for the typos in that recipe... doing it from my phone, without glasses! :-)

Atkins has a really good egg salad recipe… egg salad with capers. 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon small capers or chopped large capers Half teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or quarter teaspoon crumbled dried tarragon salt-and-pepper to taste combine eggs…

thanks for your reply! what is "trac and large ketones"? i've heard the stix arent great, but i thought it would be good to have a visual idea.. even if a "sketchy" one!

Ask the doctor to check the standard thyroid panel as well as for hashimotos. also VERY IMPORTANT to ask to have ferritinchecked. Ferritin is basically your iron "storage" level and should be roughly 60-110. low levels can cause hair loss and low energy. sometimes it can be improved w dr monitored iron supplement, or…

hi.. thanks for this explanation. i would like to change MFP default to reflect good macros to help me follow a ketogenic plan but im confused as how to find the correct numbers. are you able to help me?

im interested to know more too.. im hypothyroid w hashimotos, prediabetes and 62 lbs to lose... hypo/ hashi has been a real struggle, but weight is worse. why is keto bad for hypothyroidism?

is "low carb" the same as keto? i think keto means more fats but i'm not exactly sure what to eat
