It depends on the amount of fat that was in your skin and how much of that you have lost. There have been people who have a lot in their skin and when they lose it they drop shoe sizes and hat sizes due to this. Which also causes height to drop because you don't have as much on the soles of your feet or in the scalp. I…

This one is my favorite http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2012/01/better-than-potatoes-cheesy-cauliflower.html

This. You require Magnesium for your body to utilize potassium. You can load yourself with 3 times the potassium you need and still be suffering from low potassium without it. You don't need to get Magnesium citrate but make sure whatever supplement you get it ends in "ate" Do not get Oxide.

General Rule of Thumb 1 gram of fat = 9 calories 1 gram of protein or carb = 4 calories

There is a Keto group on here. You should join :)

The send a low level electrical pulse through your body (you can't feel it). This pulse will travel from one hand to the other (or foot) and the amount of time it takes will vary depending on water, fat and muscle in your body (each has it's own resistance). It takes your height, weight and age into account. This is so it…

Multi-vitamins as far as I know have no electrolytes in them. Prenatal vitamins only add/increase a few things like iron and folic acid. So yes you should look at something in addition to that. Broth is a great way to increase your Sodium. You will have to check if your contains Potassium in it, or add it yourself. You can…

Your muscles (heart included) needs potassium to function properly. The Keto diet you have troubles keeping electrolytes up and have difficultly getting some electrolytes (like potassium) If you have low potassium you heart will often palpate. You should get the seasoning salt lite (half NaCl/half KCl) or NoSalt (All KCl).…

Because she uses "Net Carb" Berries her net carbs aren't 25, that is taking the fiber from the berries out twice.

I agree you are eating too little calories. Until you know what works for you, you may want to lower yourself to 20 carbs and stabilize then slowly increase until you know what your limit is. Look at "Fat Bombs" to help macros and calories. Either you should add everything as net carbs or nothing. If you do nothing either…

Raspberries, blackberries and blueberries aren't too high

I order my chia seeds on amazon

Last time I went to my DR and told her about my issues (gas being a major one) and that I was planning to go back on Keto because I didn't have the problems. With a few other things she determined I most likely have a gluten intolerance, which is why keto doesn't give me gas.

Another fast food option is the Jimmy John's Unwich. It is one of there subs wrapped in lettuce instead of the bread. Another nice thing is you can go to their website and add or remove whatever and get nutritional info for that exact item. Then if MFP doesn't have it you can add it yourself. Be careful with some of the…

I wish I could find it but I read one thing that your body needs water in order to turn fat to ketones. But I can't find this anywhere so I have no way to know it is true. On the keto subreddit they warn that not taking in enough water while on keto could lead to kidney stones.

If you are using chrome you can download an add on for MFP to automatically calculate net carbs https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/169362

For the most part yes carbs-fiber =net carbs Some people also choose to subtract 1/2 or all of sugar alcohol from their carbs as well. This can be risky because some people can digest sugar alcohol and some can't. Basically if you get gassy and um... need to run to the bathroom you can't digest it. So your call.

I'm sorry they were rude to you. Atkins is high carb after the first two weeks and has less dealing with Ketosis. Basically Ketosis and Ketoacidosis are two very very different things. Ketoacidosis is a very dangerous which is why the first person ended up in the ER. If you do not have diabetes you will not have anything…

If you know the restaurant you are going to see if they have a menu online. If they a lot of time also have a nutrition guide. Pick out a couple things, keeping in mind you might need to right away set half of it aside to go home. Then go to the restaurant know what you want. If there isn't a nutrition guide try to…

I am doing Keto with my husband. Feel free to add me. I love visiting http://www.reddit.com/r/ketorecipes for low carb recipe ideas. I just tried one this morning called Noatmeal From the post

It depends on you. Carb/protein heavy diets allow you to eat a larger volume of food per calories Adding fat will lower that volume but some people feel fuller longer. Junk food (high carb and high fat, typically low protein) can cause problems with eating more calories than you think and/or still feeling hungry

glad I could help :)

What do you have your activity level set at? You might be over estimating this, plus under estimating your food. If you do not have yourself on sedentary are you counting exercise? If you are you might be counting calories burned twice. This will bump up that calories that MFP says you can eat even though you aren't…

Keep in mind Fitbits (although better than nothing) is a fancy pedometer. It will not take into account how fit you are, or the effort you are exerting. It will also change where on your body you put it. Ex. Walking vs jogging vs running. these will change your heart rate, but it will also change your stride length. This…

I also set myself at sedentary and then track all of my exercise (using a HRM). If you put yourself at light moderate etc than you can only track the activities you go over and above that. If you do both than you will put yourself in a higher calorie allowance than you will actually be allowed to eat and lose weight. If…

I know this may not be what you want to hear but given Mental health is a factor you may want to talk with a doctor or work with therapist/physiologist to start with. Trying to tackle too many issues at once can be detrimental to all of your goals. Getting your head in the right state to start with will make all the…

I also mix my chocolate with peppermint tea. For both I sometimes have it warm, sometime and throw it in the fridge to cool down.

I like mixing my Isalean French Vanilla with Chai tea
