This is what I was thinking as well! :noway:

This! Pass the BACON! :love:

I use this calculator to get my macros. http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

If you do not want to risk ingesting it, it does make a great skin lotion. I have also used it as a stay in hair conditioner as I sleep, then wash in the morning. Some people at work think I'm weird because I throw two tablespoons of the coconut oil in my coffee and use the excess (whats left on the spoon) and rub it on my…

Krista I started late October and my weight loss has extremely slowed the last 3 to 4 months (avg 2 to 4 lbs a month). I weigh once a week just to see that the scale does not move. However I have noticed that my pant size keeps going down. I'm 37 yrs old and was diagnosed with PCO at 21. My macros are pretty identical to…

My weakness is chocolate. I do sub the 85% dark chocolate but for some reason if there is milk chocolate in the house I act like a heroin addict. No one is allowed to bring milk chocolate to my house. :blushing: As far as your dairy weakness. Have you tried heavy whipping cream in your coffee? I miss my lattes too but…

disregard

Krista, Since you are seeing a loss on the scale after a stall imho I would not IF at this point. You are seeing results with your current plan, don't mess with it until you do not see results. I have IF, my last meal was 8pm and my first meal was at noon, that would be about a 17 hr fast. I did give up the BPC in the…

I was on a 7 week stall that I just broke out of last week 4lbs, and this week another 2 lbs. I aim closer to 75-80% fat, 15-20% protein and 3-5% carbs. I started exercising and I drink anywhere from 12 to 18 servings of 8oz water. I do not eat my exercise cals back. My cals are set at 1500, however some days I go higher…

Between 2008 and 2009 I went to Machu Picchu 3 times (long story). I'm Peruvian that was born in Brooklyn NY. I went on 2 guided tours then went with my friend on my own and did our own thing. My best experience was without the guides. They rush you through the whole ruins and you really miss the beauty of it. Last time I…

Well I see in the last week you have 1) not logged consistently, 2) a few days your protein was very high and 3) your fat some days was too low. 4) Some people have adverse reactions to Atkins replacement shakes and bars, maybe try a week without these and see if its the cause of your stall. 5) Splenda in powder form has…

These are great results! Your A1C -- WOW! Great drop. Same with the Trig! I eat less carbs, and follow a Keto diet, so understand the benefits of low carbing. Keeping on doing what you are doing! Maybe next time, the doc will remove the metformin. Congrats on following a healthier diet and becoming healthier YOU!

I put a tablespoon of coconut oil, a tablespoon of MCT oil and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. I drink it about 9 am. It taste wonderful, however with all that fat I'm not hungry until 2ish. I drink water in between. That one cup of coffee is about 310 cals. Maybe instead of having another cup, add another tablespoon of fat?…

This calculator can help you set your macros and calories. http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

I really do not like cooking, so try to make my meals as easy as possible. Go to snack - almond butter with 85% dark chocolate ; pork rinds; cheese sticks Breakfast - bullet proof coffee ; on weekends will scramble some eggs with cream cheese and bacon (you can buy bacon precooked if you want). I like pork sausage for…

Hello, My macros are set to : 20 g Carbohydrates (5%, 80 kcal) 75 g Protein (20%, 300 kcal) 124 g Fat (75%, 1116 kcal) Lately I have been consuming more protein and hit a stall but am increasing my fats this week and adding exercise. Hope to break my 6 week stall. Your protein seems somewhat high, and your fat too low for…

I think both matter and track both of them! There is a huge misconception that atkins is an all protein diet, however when proteins are overly consumed they are converted to glycogen which would delay you going into ketosis if that is your plan. I use the following calculator and adjust my goals on MFP accordingly.…

I think about this differently..... I consider myself a carb addict and if I suffer an addiction I do not want to introduce that back into my body ( I eat 20 grams of carbs a day or less). During the first few days of carb restriction most people will go through what we call the keto flu.... Well I call that carb…

Dont touch it! Someone brought donuts to the office on Friday. You know that maple bar with bits of bacon. I tried to justify it by..."it has bacon, high fat". But then I got reality..... That donut will just make me crave more carbs, knock me out of ketosis. Its really not worth it! Stay on plan!

Do you test your blood glucose when you have the symptoms of hypoglycemia? How low does your sugar go? Is it within a normal/target range that your doctor suggested? I recently complained to my doc of a sense of fatigue and I reduced my exercise due to it. He has been very supportive of a keto diet due to my excellent…

i echo what others have said about your carb intake-- too high for keto diet. You should ditch the truvia, maybe get a liquid artificial sweenter with no carbs if you have to have it, and switch the half and half with heavy whipping cream. You will use less of it and it wont cost you so much carbs. You will need to ditch…

cream cheese wrapped in bacon bacon alone is a good snack too Depending on how low carb you are going, your hunger pangs for snacking might go away. Best of luck!

So no allergies or asthma? is it cold air? Anxiety attack? What the doctor say? Do you live in a higher altitude?

WALK- but instead of 10 minutes go for 30 minutes 4 times a week or more if you want. People underestimate walking so much. Who will stay with the 2 month old while you go use the gym? Most gyms won't take care of a 2 month old. I walk during my lunch hour with my buddy from work, and if I can I will throw in a zumba wii…

Amazing results! Congrats!

MErry christmas to me.....woohoo

Avocados?

i would suggest you check out the forum below: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-group There are some many variations of low carb. Atkins, Keto, Primal, etc. etc. Each of these have their own forum groups on MFP. Do some research and pick what you feel you can stick with. I started day…

#1-Loosing my boobs when I didn't have much to begin with. #2-Wearing jackets and sweaters at work because I am cold (live in Florida). #3- The bat wings-Loose skin.

Everyone says that losing weight slowly is best etc. etc. I'm not one to debate that issue. When you start to diet and you have a lot more to lose you typically will lose weight faster at the beginning. You will lose a lot of water weight on restricted carb diet the first week. I had the same loss you experienced on the…
