how long have you been doing keto? i didnt feel the fog really lift till the second month

i just throw a bar or two of 95% dark dark cooking chocolate in a bowl on top of a boiling pot of water (double boiler) till it melts...throw in some butter...coconut oil...shredded sugarless coconut flakes (whatever you like) nuts? and stevia to taste. then, once its all melted together, pour it on a baking sheet and tip…

dudettes! help me figure this one out... i lost weight during shark week, and then gained like 5 lbs the day it ended....what gives???

im about a month in, looking for keto friends so i can snoop through yalls food journals and get ideas...add me please!

Looking for keto buddies! I'm three weeks in, and need to snoop through y'alls journals to get a better idea of how to do this. Please add me! SW 210 CW 204.8 GW 150

Awesome!

the strips are really expensive...on ebay they are 10 for 30 bucks. I heard tell that they are super cheap at walmart though, and this website sells them for 16 for 10 but ships from australlia... http://www.ketosistools.com/collections/ketone-strips

Mine just arrived! I sat here for like 45 minutes working up the courage to prick my finger :s

This happened to me too...Its really frustrating! Im finding, it eventually evens out and that you lose inches, and feel better, so try not to focus too much on the scale in the begining.

Hello and welcome! :smile: the first week or two can be rough, so just try to take it easy

I do something similar to this^ just melt together what ever I have laying around. with your ingredients almond butter, cocoa, coconut butter, chopped almonds, I love the texture of shredded coconut on there too if ya wanna pick some up and then a little bit of stevia to taste. and BOOM scoop spoonfuls on a baking sheet…

Try it! I bet you would eat less, since butter is so satiating.

Thank you Steve. I think you nailed it there...im not fully committed to keto, I waver back and forth (i.e. cheating on weekends) and I think Im still struggling with carb addicted style binge eating issues. finding my way though slowly but surely though. Thank you all for your input <3

Two words: Crock. Pot. :p

If you slip out of Ketosis you gain 5-10 pounds in water weight...(Thats same water weight you initially lost in the begining) Sometimes our bodies take a break from weight loss to work on other things that need working on. just be patient, keto on, and try not to stress about the number on the scale, rejoice in the way…

AHA!! Its all your Fault Dan!! >:)

Depends how much you have to lose too. If you're obese, it shouldnt be too hard, but If youre closer to your goal weight it might be a little more difficiult.

nom nom nom!

try daikon radishes too! super yum!

you guys are Awesome! Thank you! <3

DAM5412 : I was listening to a podcast yesterday with a woman (I forget her name now) on the living la vida low carb show with Jimmy Moore. She worked with Dr Atkins for 30 years. she dealt with a lot of patients in his office, and said that in the 80s the only used urine strips to test for ketones. She said that a few…

a few days before your period you wont see Ketones in your urine.

bookmarking!

It may be from Candida die off. A candida cleanse diet is similar to keto.

Just starting out on keto again...add me too! <3

Instead of OJ, I like drinking lemon wedge squeezed into water with a few drops of stevia. Sugar free lemonade with all the vitamin c!

I noticed I lose more when I up my calories a bit. I know that its counter intuitive, and Im not sure if I believe in the whole "starvation mode" thing, but maybe your cals are too low, and your body is hanging on to everything incase you dont get to eat again any time soon? Ive been eating 1500/ish a day and lost 5lbs in…
