Feel free to add me as well.

Oh my goodness! I just tried this recipe and it was amazing! The texture was pretty bread-like, and the flavor was nice. I really enjoyed this!

Thank you. I really appreciate you talking about this. I'm still a new Keto-er and feel so bummed when I don't lose magical numbers. Yes, I do have a lot to lose, but I didn't pack it on overnight, so I can't expect to lose it overnight. I am doing this for the weight loss, but more than that, I feel better on…

My skin has always been horrible. Since going on this diet, it looks much, much better. TMI, but I'm even PMSing right now and only have a couple of zits, where before I'd have a full-on breakout.

I think I'm so used to seeing and hearing about the SAD that it's hard for me to see that there are other ways out there that work. Another thing working against me is that my husband and 2 kids are still eating "normal" carb-laden foods. I'm not going to push them into this, but I'm hoping that any results I achieve will…

Wow. Thank you so much. I'm actually in tears right now. You're both right. Thank you for giving me a different perspective and things to further research. I think I have been reading too many stories of people who've lost x amount of pounds in x amount of time. I need to be far more realistic in my expectations of myself.…

I went shopping and loaded up on broccoli and other low carb veggies I can enjoy (in moderation) to dip in Ranch. I bought some magnesium today, and I'll cut the pill for now and work up my amounts. My supplements: fish oil, B, C, Iron, multivitamin, calcium/D. These are the ones my doctor asked me to take ages ago. I'm on…

Lesson learned. I feel icky today.

I'll take this one! I'm new to this way of life as well. Like....5 days new. I went cold turkey on all sweets and grains. It sucked for about a day and a half. I had a horrible headache and was just not with it. Now? I still have cravings, but they're tolerable. I have them under control and I haven't (and won't) give in…

Thank you. I didn't even think about that P.S. part. I *do* know when I am storing water, as is evidenced in my ankles during certain times of the month. I'm not sure I've entered ketosis entirely yet. I think I'm in it somewhat with the bad breath, stinky pee, and extra energy, but without ketostix or a testing device, I…

I'm no expert here (only on it 5 days so far) but don't eat low fat anything. Up your fat intake. Only buy "real" foods with their natural fat content intact.

I haven't made this yet, but am thinking of trying it today. When I first started looking into this diet seriously, I found the Diet Doctor site. On this site is a wealth of information, including this bread: Oopsies 6–8 depending on size. 3 eggs 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream cheese a pinch of salt ½ tablespoon fiberhusk…

Hubby is working out of town. On our anniversary. There are cookies in the kitchen and the computer is keeping me away from them.

Every time I diet, I start at a higher starting weight than my last diet start. This time is an exception, and I'm hoping a success. I started Weight Watchers in January and became pretty frustrated pretty quickly. I did lose a few pounds, but always felt deprived and ended up eating more on WW. I did manage to lose about…

Thank you. I'll look for xylitol gum next time I go to the store. I don't keep anything I want my dog to eat within her reach, but I really do appreciate the concern. :)

Also, one more thing I just noticed. I have extremely oily skin. It's been a lifelong problem. Tonight I washed my face as usual, but I noticed far less shine on my face. I felt my skin, and while it is oily, it's not a fraction as oily as it usually is. Has anybody else had this happen?

Thank you so much! When I sat down to dinner tonight, I was starving. We had bacon wrapped chicken breasts with spiced mayo and butter fried green beans. I only had *some* green beans. I thought they were lower in carbs than they are, so I limited myself to half a cup. I'm thankful I researched that before scarfing down on…

Can you critique my food diary today? The code is 5678. Thank you. :)

Thank you for the links and answers. As the day wears on, I find that I'm starting to not feel well. I understand this is normal, a withdrawal symptom, but it still sucks. The headache is just now kicking in and I look forward to it leaving. I also find that I'm insanely thirsty today. It's ultimately good and will force…
