  • I don't have recipe advice. I have tried some & adjusted family recipes. Just find food you normally like & take out the yuck (sugar & carbs) & add the yum (fat)... We do a lot with taco salad instead of taco shells, cauliflower as a rice/potato substitute, etc.. I would stay away from the sweet/lchf recipes for a couple…
  • go into your settings for goals & put in 80, 15, 5 or whatever you want for fat, protein, & carbs.
  • reddit has a bunch. Just google or pintrest keto recipes. You will find a bunch. I have altered many family recipes pretty easily too.
  • I don't have any info on this either. I think just go back to regular keto. The 5 pound gain is from water & inflammation which will leave with just keto eating within a week.
  • My goal this week is to keep net carb -20, protein -55, & fat between 160-210 per day. Also hit 5 workouts this week.
  • limiting protein, about two weeks. I have decrease my protein from what I ate prior to the WOE though. I have been keeping protein under 80 grams but have read that between 45-55 grams is best for women to get into ketosis (which I am) & lose significant weight (which I'm not).... It is a struggle for me as I really have…
  • good luck w/ the in-laws. My mom used to do that too but she has been pretty decent as this lines up better with her diabetic diet. If they are the picture of health & at ideal weights, have no medical problems, sleep apnea, diabetes, allergy problems, arthritis, inflammation, great memories, etc.. I still wouldn't pay…
  • 1. I think you will still need added potassium & magnessium. Reddit has good info on quantity needed in keto. 2. fasting would be eating small amounts (200 cal. or under) for 18 hours & eating what you want for the other 6.. There are a lot of varieties of intermittent fasting. I would research it but not try it until you…
  • Organization=some but primarily with food prep for either taking your lunch or knowing what to eat when dining out or w/ non keto friends. I do a lot of cooking on the weekends due to family size, I work full time & am taking college classes. I did this pre-keto too though so not a change for me. I would say as far as…
  • Hey Andrea! Great reason for losing weight (you & DH). So for the worst...First.. The first month is the worst, depending on how much your body detoxes & go into withdrawal. So to combat that, have lots of magnesium, potassium, & salt (sea salt or bullion). It will help with all the symptoms. We (DH & I) took potassium…
  • So my week last week wasn't a run away. However, I did get in a couple workouts which is better than then none in the last couple months. I did also get to swim for about 1 1/2 hours which was fun! I was really sore on Saturday, yesterday was better. I am trying to up my calories as the previous months, I was at 1200 & not…

  • I am eating KETO. Have been since November. I have been religiously tracking food on mfp since January. I quit working out in January as I didn't have the energy. Last night I worked out for the first time in over a month! It felt good. I need to start walking more as I miss walking. My goal is to lose 30 pounds. Is there…
  • add me.......... I love the idea of 100 days here...
  • I'm in the zone... did it last fall and lost weight. Went on it again (new years) after falling off the wagon for 3 months. I feel great and have lost inches but not much weight so far. Realized from journaling my food that my little cheats were costing me weight loss.. An extra block a day matters!!!! I love almonds,…
