I cheated for 2 weeks and now I'm sick as well. I caught a head cold, my knees ache, and my old foot injury hurts. The good thing is now I realize how good I was actually feeling on keto compared to the carb-inflammation I'm experiencing currently. Back to keto I go!

Enjoy the season! Wrap gifts. Make Latkes (& go off plan for a tradition). 3 Circuit Training series in the next 10 days.

Bacon, Fat bombs, cheese...I make a caprese salad with tomato, mozzarella, basil, olive oil, balsamic and then I add avocado & either a hard boiled egg or 3 oz of chicken. It's my latest fave! Coconut oil brownies are amazing!! Recipe is in Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen.

I just finished my first month on Keto! I hit a few bumps in the learning curve, but I lost 15 lbs. Goals for December: Hit my daily sodium goals! (learning curve mis-step #1) Drink enough water (12-16 cups) 10,000 steps a day Eat within 200 cal. of my daily goal (learning curve mis-step #2) 30 min. of exercise…

After reading your post, I put some salt in my ACV/Lemon/Stevia water. Then added extra salt to my chicken avacado caprese salad at lunch, and I am feeling sooooo much better. Thank you!

I ate pretty clean prior to Keto. I cook and have access to fresh veggies. We also raise our own beef in the back yard/pasture. My mil gives us farm fresh eggs. I only had a couple days the first week that I had a bit of a headache. Grilled cheese sandwiches and wine are my carb-vices.

I am 51 years old, so menopause slowing the metabolism is something I am dreading. That is why I'm working to get the weight off now before my metabolism slows even more.

I don't want to plateau. I'm still wrapping my head around Keto and how it is counter to everything I've been taught about weight loss as a "teen of the 80s". But the results don't lie. I lost 15lbs in November. Eat more to weigh less?? As a former dancer, my mentality and that of the company was all about restriction. I…

I'm going to shoot for that (within 200 cal.).

This may be it! Looking back at my diary, my sodium is always under 3000-5000 mg. My diary is open BTW. I did have the "Leaden legs" yesterday when I was hiking with my daughter. We were going up to an overlook and I had to quit half way up. We drove to a park with more moderate terrain and hiked there instead. I was so…

My profile pic is a goal. I have about 35 pounds to lose before I'm that weight again. My diary is open. I have been trying to achieve 20-25 net carbs per day. There have been a couple days this month with my birthday and the holidays that I had some wine, but I tried to not stray too far over on my carbs.

5 miles of hiking yesterday with my daughters and circuit training this morning. I have Thanksgiving round 2 today!

I'm keepin' it Keto: turkey, gravy & veggies with butter. I'm bringing an app I can eat; jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese wrapped in bacon.My splurge is going to be a couple nice glasses of organic red wine.

I've been Keto for 3 weeks and have lost 14 lbs. I love my morning coffee with coconut oil. An added benefit is it moisturizes the lips. I also usually have 24 oz of water with half a lemon squeezed into it.

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping I can join in on this thread and future +50 threads. Tomorrow is my 51st birthday. Yes, I'm a turkey this year! I've been on MFP for years but have recently re-upped my efforts since becoming pre-menopausal. Holy hot flash, Batman! I'm trying to get out of the overweight category for my height.…

Let me know if you move the post to Challenges or a group!

I'm in for 5#, a pound a week until Christmas. I'm doing Keto also. I'm 3 weeks in and have had great success so far. My favorite thing about Keto is...No cravings!!

Have you significantly increased your dairy since going Keto? My niece cut out dairy and her acne disappeared. I know that would be difficult on Keto but not impossible.Maria Emmerich's book, "30 Day Ketogenic Cleanse", is completely dairy free. Even if you don't follow her plan (she uses intermittent fasting), you could…

My skin improved with Keto. Previously, I've had problems with caffeine making my skin break out. Or it could be that your body is releasing toxins that were being held in the fat cells??

I lost 5lbs in the first week, & 5 1/2 in the second. I'm currently in the middle of my 3rd week, so I'm a keto-newbie as well.

I was just looking into IT this morning. I naturally eat a 14/10 but am looking to gently increase to a 16/8. I don't think a hard core 20/4 or 22/2 could work for me at this stage in my life. I drink water, herbal tea, and limited coffee (2 cups in the am).

Thanks, I'll try it out.

My family usually does pizza on Fridays. I might try this one for me this week! Thanks!

Thanks, everyone! I'm trying keto meal prep today for the work week. If anyone has favorite sites for this, I'd love to hear it.

I'm at a calorie deficit as well as trying to balance my macros for ketosis.

I've been playing around with Keto recipes for a few weeks, but finally bit the bullet on Wed, Nov 1st when I gave up the wine. Wine and cheese are my biggest weaknesses. I already have more energy. The 100+ grams of fat I'm supposed to ingest runs counter to everything I've ever been taught (raised in the 80s), but I'm…

It's around a 40% carb, 30% fat, 30% protein split.[/quote] Thanks!!

I wanted to set my MFP food diary macros to align with the 21 Day Fix meal plan. Has anyone already done this and, if so, what macros did you use. I know the protein % is higher and the carb % lower than the general setting MFP provides. Thanks for any help! :)

Thanks! I'll try that.

Bump!!
