  • I put finely shredded cheese on the griddle in tablespoons. They melt, flip once, and enjoy?

    in Want to lose 100 pounds on keto Comment by MaggieFinn July 2018
  • Paula, I wish my keto breath were sweet. To me it just feels like I really really need to brush my teeth. Yuck! Of course, I haven't tested my blood/ urine/ saliva ketones but I'm sitting at about 12-15 net carbs a day and the weight is sliding off, so I assume I am. Count yourself lucky!

  • Fantastic! I'm sure your time eating low carb before starting keto was a huge help. Keep it up and keep us updated.

  • My pantry is bursting to full. I could run a city-wide soup kitchen. :) Thanks for the reminder about sodium. I knew I might be getting dehydrated, so I upped my water intake, but didn't think about sodium. I'll take another look at my protein, too. Coming from a diet low in animal protein, I'm definitely searching for…

  • I'm on Day 5 and like it so far. I am (was?) seriously addicted to sugar and had the energy swings to prove it. Combine that with insulin-resistance in my family and I'm excited to see what happens to my energy. Except for a Day 3 keto-flu (thought I was going to DIE!), I feel great. Energy up, appetite way, way down. I do…

  • I'm new to it- in my first month- and like it so far. Weight is coming off crazy fast, I'm never hungry, have tons of energy, and it's easy to modify recipes for my non-keto family members. I have a family history of glucose intolerance and a personal history of feeling unwell after a heavy carb meal, so I'm using it as a…
