  • Gotta be completely honest here, and maybe one or a few of you can relate. I started keto last year and had great, albeit slow, success. I lost a little over 11 lbs, going from 166 to 155 in about 3 months. I was working out more, and went from a size 12/14 to an 8 (even fit a few size 6 skirts). During that time, I either…

  • I am a really light sleeper, and once I got fat adapted that all changed. I fall asleep so much faster now and prefer to not have eaten close to bedtime. In the past, I couldn't fall asleep if I hadn't eaten in several hours - I felt like I was starving. Now, it's best when it's been 4+ hours since I ate, and I drift right…

  • Some people can do moderation of foods like sugars and carbs; I am not one of those people. Before starting keto, I had to completely cut certain foods out of my life. I am actually in a program for the treatment of food addiction and have been for years. Keto helps me feel physically and emotionally balanced and supports…

  • One of my favorite things for breakfast is a Keto Nut Granola from a Keto cookbook I bought on Kindle. "The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners." I go to Whole Foods or any store that has nuts and seeds you can buy in bulk, since it's so much cheaper than prepackaged, and I make a couple of batches at a time. This is a…

  • Hi all! I am finally back after traveling for most of October. It's been a tough few months. I regained a lot of my weight over the last 2-3 months, and recommitted myself in October but since I was out of the country for a bit, sticking to Keto wasn't always possible. That's okay, though. I had an amazing time traveling…

  • Hi all. I've been away for a month or so, and in that time I have managed to regain 10 of the 11 pounds I worked so hard to lose. It sucks, but I am getting back to basics and hoping that some of those 10 lbs will be gone quickly in a good "whoosh" as I kick start my body back into ketosis. Not only do I feel crappy in my…
