I'm interested in this as well, I usually only get around 10 or 12 grams.

Thanks so much, that was helpful!

Definitely. We try to keep things as "natural" as possible, but I do buy my soaps and cleaning products. I tried making my own, but they didn't turn out quite right. We use Ora Wellness and activated charcoal for brushing our teeth, Dr. Bonner's for body wash, and I use a lot of Seventh Generation's cleaning prodcuts, or…

Welcome! Have you been on Reddit's Keto page? There is a link to a calculator on the right hand side of the page with the other links. I found it to be very helpful. Per it's suggestion, I use the 65f/30p/5c (works out to 20g of carbs a day, but I don't mind if I go up to 25). It's working pretty well for me. You may try…

Bunless cheeseburgers. I started making the almond flour buns from Caveman Keto.. they are fantastic! I don't even miss a traditional bun.

Never heard of it. Why wouldn't you just eat fruits and vegetables? Baby food looks disgusting to me. Granted, I didn't even feed my own child baby food, so what do I know.

No flames from me. Do whatever works for you. I generally ear around 1300 calories, but my food is usually pretty filling. If I were more hungry, I'd definitely eat more. I despise blanket statements - who cares what anyone else is eating. Eat what works for you and makes you feel the best. If you aren't feeling great, ask…

I do keto and primal. I think there is a lot of room for overlap between the two lifestyles. I do eat dairly (heavy cream, butter and cheese - I do not drink milk) and I also have blueberries if I'm craving something sweet. A handful really doesn't have many carbs. I think you should try different things for a couple weeks…

I like the calculator on Reddit. I'm at work, so I can't link to it, but if you google "Reddit Keto" and open that, it will be on the right hand side under "links".

My go-to dinner is a stirfry of some sort. What about some chicken, broccoli, carrots and squash with soy sauce? That would be fairly low calorie.

Feel free to add me, as well!

It happens to everyone. At least you recognized and learned from it! :) I fell off for like 2 months. Luckily I didn't gain too much, but I felt like crap. At least the weight I gained seemed to be mostly water weight and came off relatively quickly when I started back again.

I eat stir-fry a couple times a week. Usually on Sunday I will just cut up some chicken and whatever veggies I have a saute them all with some coconut aminos/soy sauce. Super easy and warms up decently. Or steak with veggies and worcestershire sauce.

I'll have to try these. I despise chocolate, so I've been looking for a fat bomb recipe without it. The cheesecake fat bombs mentioned previously sounds great, as well.

Feel free to add me, as well!

Good to know! I have been toying with the idea. I'm going to give myself another week or so to see if I break through, but if not, I think I will try IF.

Try going up 200 - 300 calories and see how you feel.

If it's not chicken livers, I grind it up and add it in with ground beef. For chicken, I like to make a version of Julia Child's mousse. It's delicious with apples.

Small changes - rice pasta (personally, I don't eat rice, but I believe it to be the lesser of the grain evils), mashed cauliflower, almond flour pancakes (The Urban Poser has a recipe for pancakes that taste crazy similar to wheat based), etc. Snacks - make your own gummy snacks with fruit juice and gelatin, sorbet made…

Buttermilk is thicker than regular milk and tastes sour. I think it's mainly used in the southern US for biscuit making and baking. I think I've heard of it as a chicken marinade, also.

Agreeing with most everyone. Chances are, your friend knows he needs to lose weight, and how to do it. You telling him won't make a difference. He has to want it.

Popcorn with parmesan is my weakness! My husband thinks it's so disgusting, but I love it. Anyway, I had Olive Garden on Memorial Day and had way too many breadsticks and alfredo sauce. I was up 4 pounds the next day due to the bloat and now, 4 days later, I've lost most of it. I still need to lose .4. Not a big deal, but…

No carb? What do you eat? Just meat? Are you opposed to low carb? I don't know all the carb counts of vegetables, but I can't imagaine you're getting many if you are completely avoiding carbs.

I do low carb, but count calories, as well. I don't worry if I go over my target much (1300), but I do try to stay around that. Have you calculated your macros? That may work better for you. I don't think I'd do well with so many restrictions.

I started watching my carbs in January. I did really well and lost about 15 pounts until I started a new job in March. I got out of my routine and feel back into old eating habits. Luckily (and suprisingly) I only gained a few pounds back, but I started low carb again in May. I think my biggest issue was with not being…

I get the same thing. I tried from my computer and iPad.
