wine has carbs in it so too many carbs will bump you out of ketosis if you don't include the wine in your daily carb alottment. i have figured out that if i am really low on my carbs for the day then i may be able to afford 6 or 7 oz of wine at night with no ill effects but generally speaking i would rather eat my limited…

wine kicks me out every time !!!! I like sweet wines so it doesnt go well with ketosis... i had a celebration over weekend with alot of out of town company.. I knew I would be kicked out so I am diligent now with the carb counts under 10% and it takes me 4 or 5 days to get back in ketosis!!!!

i have drank the BPC for about 4 days and the nausea for me was mild but i only put 1TBSP of conconut oil and 1 TBSP of butter as compared to those using 2 or 3 per cup.. I may increase later but it keeps me full until lunch with the tablespoon of each...

I take Gaba, L Glutamin ,and Garcinia Cambogia as these were recommended on a podcast that i listen to about keto lifestyles.

What is the difference between the kerrygold butter and other butters purchased at Costco.... i have been using real butter... should I make the switch?

You both are amazing!!! so happy to hear people that are happy with their plans and their results!!!!

Question??? Did the book address those out of control cravings that may be sparked with the free meal and did he recommend that the carbs be more whole grains opposed to simple sugars??? i am no where near ready to consider a free anything but when and if this is a choice it would be nice to have a plan rather than throw…

Be careful!!! Yes you should leave but be very intelligent about it. Make sure you have friends and backup for support. Abusers do not like to fail...so know your enemy and stay in a safe place always.... you will heal and you will be a better stronger woman because of this!!!

Oh i got my dexa scan as the dexa tech is a low carb person as well so we are suppoting each other... i will repeat my dexa after i lose 10 or 15 lbs to see a difference...i guess i am lucky to have a dexa scan down the hall from my office!!!!

thanks for all of the comments... i am trying to stay around 1600 calories and my fat at 75% i weight train and run... my fats are healthy and my carbs from veggies!!! I lost another pound but my clothes feel better in the morning and i am still loving my yummy foods that i have denied myself for so long!!!!! i will review…

I think it depends on your goals... if you are a low carb person then they should by changed a little to do less carbs and more fat and if you are a high carb low fat person... then the fat should come down....reseach the different lifestyles.... i am a low carbber and i love my food!!!!

the fat bombs do seem a little oily so i keep mine in the freezer all of the time and they just melt quickly in my mouth!!! awesome!!!

every once in a while indulge but on other days...use your wine glass or beer mug and fill it with sparkling tea or water and sip it as if it were your beloved wine!!! 0 calories, but the brain enjoys the idea that you are drinking !!!!

I figured my protein was too high so I cut down and upped my fat intake with healthy fats and it seems that i am starting to break the stall. I might just be adjusting to the lifestyle and i have lost couple lbs after a gain of 2 lbs when i started....but I feel so good now I don't have the energy burst that i am reading…

yes and i screwed up and ate 54 grams protein for breakfask alone today wit hminimal fat and i am ketone neg again.. after being positive for several days... i guess a cesar salad is in order for lunch it has 50 plus fat grams!!!!

i find no exercise more relaxing or fulfilling than running...i run alone because i like the peace and quiet to think and plus i go at my pace for the distance i want.....you will soon learn that it is awesome!!!!!!!

well today i am up 2 lbs, i am scared but i plan to continue....

I may be completely off but since i decreased my carbs and upped my fat intake while maintaining lower calorie intake... it seems that my joints dont hurt as much when i riun...i ran 8 miles on sunday and was feeling great on monday. Usually my shins or my hips hurt, but not since i recently started this and i have alot of…

also.... what type of scale shows fat loss and muscle gain????

my diary is pretty accurate and my intake varies.... i have been on the keto for 9 days i think... i was looking for that burst of weight loss with the expectation that it would level off and slow down.... but that initial big loss has not happened. With my log, I have not been logging the butter in the veggies, but…

i have listened to podcasts and read alot and endurance athletes perform quite well on a keto diet. I run and my easiest run was on a day that i had less than 30 grams of carbs. I am learning, or should i say teaching my body to burn ketones for fuel and the transition is sometimes difficult but i except to be worth it in…

Please don't get discouraged.. use this to motivate and vow to yourself that through healthy eating and movement... you will continue to make progress. Sometimes the weight doesn't come off like you want and it definitely doesn't happen fast...but continue your program... thank God you found a pair of pants to fit... i do…

how did you lose so much so quickly??? and congrats!!!! that is awesome

I would love some sample diets that are low carb that is working for some of you...diets that will not leave me drained and fatigued from lack of energy...
