@baconslave I have one teen! she doesnt want to eat ANY of the same things as me so im making separate meals every time.

@baconslave Thanks for this reply. Glad to hear i dont have to make stock or broth from scratch!.. i definitely have boullion & stock powders in cupboard So thats good, i use these. Ive never seen NuSalt or NoSalt in our shops, i think that will be an Amazon purchase (unless any UK people know differnt?). I thought i…

Unfortunately, no ive not seen a neurologist for 2 years. dont ask!.. the UK health system really is far from perfect. Nurses not specialist & just recommend 'normal-balanced' diet, just said try to lose a bit of weight. So i am not under the care of any medical professional right now. not ideal. but not uncommon,…

Im not sure about this for myself. I think i hadnt had enough calories the couple days and i felt weird so i dont think i should fast. My vision goes blurry and feel too shaky and weak. I am still struggling to balance the salts etc so i dont think i should try fasting yet. The nausea was mainly after i put the mct oil in…

Thanks again. Didnt know this. Maybe blood pressure just gone up cos been feeling lousy. I will stick with it and order some supplements. Is there anything critical to look out for with potassium and magnesium strengths /types. Thank you !

If im gonna need this much salt i will have to think again as my blood pressure is already a bit high and creeping up. I been monitoring this for my nurse for couple months and supposed to be doing lifestyle changes before medication is considered. I didnt have any of these imbalance issues last year and didnt need to…

Thank you but unfortunately no i cant try as dont have any of those things. Just googled KetoAid it seems very specialist ingredients. it looks really confusing too so not sure what exactly to get. Had to Google beef broth too. I definitely dont have any beef bones to hand to boil. Ive never done that before fOr pickle…

You mean in legs etc. No i dont have cramping. I feel slightly better on the nausea but am completely drained.

Bleugh i feel worse now after eating. Feel really very nauseous, sleepy, headache and very uncomfortable. Im sure i rectified the issues with salt and calories. I will have to do early bed and hope it balance soon.

Thanks both 5g does seem a lot of salt doesnt it.. i feel like im taking salt but i guess its not enough. I dragged myself to a shop managed to buy some electrolyte drink called high5 zero and that even only has 250mg sodium per serving. Did Get some rock salt crystals too. Re calories im not consciously trying to stay…

Ohhh i see!Thank you! Im not sure about the idea of this fasting. Im still getting my head around keto which is completely opposite to my previous carb/low fat diet. I still have the inbuilt routine for 3 meals. But i will have to look into this as im not hungry enough for that now. To make up some calories yesterday i…

Sorry -can i ask What does 'omad' mean please? I dont have any advice im afraid. I am not getting enough calories either so came on here looking for ideas. Ive been keto for only 3 weeks and that was coming from a heavily carb-based diet. Last couple of days is different i am just not hungry at all- dont fancy any foods.…

Thanks everyone! I love reading your comments. This is so interesting. When discovering new information, i do wonder why it is that our society doesnt just inform everybody of things that we need to know. Leaving us to suffer until we research new ways of living. My usual meals prior to keto consisted of around 50% starchy…

Ah! actually this made me remember i didnt consume all the can juice so probly saved myself a bit there. Im sure it wont be the last time i find out something surprising about a food after ive eaten it. I agree re. portions - Ive weighed almost everything else for past few days and ive not once guessed correctly. +Handy…

Thats great, i feel positive with these responses. Ive not felt hungry at all but if i can, i will add some more calories from fats as the suggestions above. Weight loss is my a secondary reason. My main reason is to see if help for my neurological problem. From advice on here i have now watched YouTube and read some on…

I will maybe post a separate message about specifics when i get into this more!... but im enjoying what ive eaten for 2days so im positive so far. Does this look about right please?... Yesterday: Carbs: 27g (8%) Fat: 75g (52%) Protein: 129g (40%) Today: Carbs: 14g (5%) Fat: 66g (50%) Protein: 132g (45%) I just wanted to…

Wow I never realised it could be so life changing.! I am a bit worried that i will do something wrong and end up feeling unwell - i cant deal with that right now, feel dreadful as it is. But.. i have ordered my shopping and have got even more veggies and meat and not re-stocked all our pasta/rice etc. I will just limit my…

Thank you all so much for replies. Thats a perfect level of info for me for a start -I was worried i would get a river of links that 'i must read'! It definitely sounds like this does help a lot of people. Its not the doctors that mentioned this to me- it was Google when searched for help! Doctors/Neurologist has…

Thanks so much for reply. Sounds like it could be helpful for me. Will i find everything i need to know in this community? I saw a link at the top, i assume that will be a good place to start.I cant go looking at tons of diferent websites etc as i know it will overwhelm my struggling brain! **Oh!.. also** I will need to…

thanks all . i think it must be the beans that was the shocking factor i overlooked them as they were green & just looked like a little veggie!! LOL

yes i am very happy with just mushrooms,onion & peppers a lot of the time but thought this would make a change. i never add sauce , just an OXO cube for flavour

actually i have no idea what a edaname bean is. never heard of it. i see it is protein (soya) so thats probably why this pack is higher that i thought.

yes ive checked the packaging now, although i didnt when i bought it.. it is true the amount of cals. Thanks for your replies about extras but There are no additives or sauce!! it is JUST natural ingredients!! Ingredients : beansprouts, cabbage, edamame beans (soya) , carrots and peppers. 100g = 129cals. I ate 280g

you wont want to know about the sausage! i dont know the info but I bet it is shocking! I understand what you mean though, I live round the corner from a chippie and they smell gorgeous.. If its any consolation I ate a load of Asda deli indian takeaway on sunday too! .. (and somebody had already put the info onto…

ah thanks yes when I get to that point I am going to go into the Goals settings and change it but didnt know if it would just start over afresh as if I was just starting at this weight and seem as if I never lost those 26 pounds at all !

HRM? is that a Heart Rate Monitor? Yes that would be interesting to see the actual calories burned. I just did a session this morning (only 15mins) and it said 29 calories which is less than a rice cake! I know i obviously need to do more at least 30 mins but can only fit in these little bits at the moment.

Hi - I have got this My Fitness Coach and I do like it - even if I only have a chance to do the 15mins in the morning before work it is a nice little workout to get out of breath and sweaty. The only disappointing thing is for 15mins it tells me I burned 40 calories. Does that seem right to you? On here 15mins of say…

yes your diet seems perfectly healthy doesnt it - I suppose its just a matter of adding in little extras like a bigger potato and a few more nuts and milk ! (not crisps and wine like me!) I dont really do a lot of exercise so I never add it into my log. I just do 10-15 mins of 'steps' at home along with some sit-ups,…

hi this is the fist time ive posted but i saw this one and feel the same. i am supposed to be at least 1200 calories and am having trouble eating them without eating rubbish. for example yesterday - Breakfast: porridge oats, skimmed milk little sugar - 215 cals Lunch : homemade vegetable soup, 2 weightwatcher toast & thin…
