Tim "whoa" is right! Whoa on that butter dude!! Get the Fat Fast cookbook Kira mentioned or search in here for recipes. I do love my Kerrygold but only butter and tuna??? You are the keto-man. I would die. I shoot for 85% or > fat on my FF days. I had 87% today with 3% carbs and 10% protein. I had my bulletproof coffee and…

I will be fat fasting most of this week trying to hit my final goal. I am happy to share.

Kira, Check out skinnymixes.com I picked some of the Skinny cosmo mix up at Ross and I am enjoying it right now. I just told my friend yesterday how much I miss margaritas - I will be ordering that one. Some great looking recipes on the site and they also have syrups. Yum!! Jenn

I love my red wine but for strictly low carb I go vodka and soda water with lime. LOVE it!!

Welcome to the group! I will send you a friend request.

Welcome! I'll send a request. This is a great group!!

Welcome Joyce - Elayne, Keto is a wonderful way of life! I can't even begin to list all of the benefits I have had. I can/will send you some directions on setting up your macros. I will also send you a friend request. This is a great group. Very supportive and helpful. Welcome again, Jenn

I have gained and lost many times. I always kept my clothes before. My closet was packed with clothes from 4's - 14's. I am currently in a 6/8. I think what I found before was that as I gained I had clothes to wear so I did not stress over it. This time they are all gone and if I go into my closet one day and my clothes…

Great news! Congrats!!

Great info! Thanks for posting.

Yes! More energy, less anxiety, less depression, milder normal swings, better skin, healthier shiny hair, the list goes on and on. Enjoy!

Good point! Thanks for the info.

Thanks for sharing your results. I will try it when home and not traveling. I think on my trips I usually carb up but not on purpose and when I am home try to be super strict. I think I have kinda had the same effect but had no idea what I was doing : - ) After this next trip (sat-tues) I will be home for 3 weeks so I hope…

I don't do Olive Garden but when I go Italian I usually get a half portion (or just eat half) of chicken marsala - no pasta - spinach on the side. It is not too bad. I also like the grilled salmon with spinach on the side as well. Sometimes a cesar salad with grilled chicken. Good for you for planning ahead. I hope you…

YES!!! I see a difference in your face, chest and midsection. You are doing great. Stay focused and take one day at a time. I started with less to lose than you and no one really noticed on me until I had lost about 35 pounds. The more you lose the more you will notice. Keep taking the photos. You can/will hit your goal!!

MFP is having technical difficulties and diaries are looking wonky today but I think you are on the right track. I would increase my fat and maybe decrease the protein depending on how much you are working out. Too much protein will convert to glucose on this diet. Try adding in avocado and macadamia nuts if you can. Too…

I had a small drop in the beginning but then it leveled out. As I get closer to my goal and continue to increase my activity level my libido continues to increase.

It is kinda hard to help you with such few days logged. My recommendations would be: 1) Determine your actual calorie needs. Determine your BMR and TDEE and then pick what your deficit will be below your TDEE (but above your BMR). 2) Log everything you put in your mouth EVERYDAY. This is so important in the beginning. 3)…

Your exercise sounds great but Keto is more about diet for being in ketosis. You can use urine ketostix to see if you test positive. You get them from a drug store. Blood ketone testing is the most accurate but can be pricey. Anyhow, unless I can see your diet I really can't comment on how well you are doing. My…

Sounds yummy - can't wait to try it!!

Like everyone has said..... 1 pound is good. 1) I would recommend you log everything you eat - everyday. You have missed several days / meals. 2) You need to find a BMR and TDEE calculator and determine how many calories you need and how many you should be eating with exercise. You are set at 1200 calories (and eating…

I don't. I assume anything with sugar has carbs and will show up under that so I don't. I do log everything so if I have a bite of my hubby's ice cream I would log it. Even 1 bite.

Unhealthy on a regular basis!

Amazing work! I know you have to be so proud of yourself! You look beautiful!

You can add me. I am on everyday. I am Keto but we are pretty close.

I feel this way too. I tried to explain it to my husband but I think he thought I was nuts because before Keto I could drink more wine and less vodka. Anyone know why?

Cute!

I drink all the time : - ) Well, let me clarify. My husband and I entertain a lot and get entertained a lot. Kinda hard not to drink (for me) during those occasions. I also travel for business and business dinners - there is ALWAYS alcohol! I take weeks off when I am close to a goal or on a fast or returning from a long…

Thanks for the reminder! I knew my weight loss would slow but I was getting really bummed this month at only 1.5 lbs so far for the month. In reflection I realize that the weeks I travel I typically don't lose (I travel for my job). When at home I can control my food and activity levels more. So high travel months are low…
