For the time being I am keeping my carbs under 15 grams. Salmon, trout beef (ribeye, ground, blade roast) lamb chicken thighs liver prosciutto, pancetta cheese eggs bacon coffee, tea arugula spinach romaine shiratake noodles fresh herbs & spices coconut oil olive oil sauerkraut beef broth apple cidar vinegar lemons

My challenge was to maintain under 20 total carbs and today is day 27. I'm pretty pleased so far.

Hello Ketogirl. After briefly looking at your diary; could it be your not getting enough fat vs your protein intake; therefore lack of energy?

Hello all, I'm F/58/5.4 and an avid weight lifter and fitness enthusiast in general. I've followed a primal way of life for a number of years. The past couple of years filled with life stresses and burdens resulted in 20 lbs gain. I started a standard keto diet as this WOE reasonates with me. I'm three weeks in and so far…

Since magnesium has a mild sedative effect; if you are taking your dose during the day, it might explain part of your reduced functionality. According to Lyle McDonald: As I detailed in my first book The Ketogenic Diet, very low-carb dieters need to supplement their daily electrolyte intake with the following at a bare…

I'm still new; 3 weeks into this WOE (under 15gr carbs) and so far it has helped me with my carb addiction. This by itself is motivating enough for me to continue until I reach my goal.

Well done!! you look happy :p

It could be a variety of different things; water retention from non-whole foods or simply body holding on to water and energy is redirected to fighting off virus...

June 8 update: goal was to keep carbs under 20gr. (started May 22=18 days) Results: my carbs are well under 15 gr. which help with my carb cravings --nada!!!! My insatiable appetite however brought me over my TDEE. I still end up losing water weight and hopefully my appetite should level out this week. I reintroduced…

This is the best gift you can give yourself. Stick with it, you will get through it :smile:

under 20 gr carbs; 100 gr protein; rest in fats

I signed up for the meativore challenge in May and I failed miserably. Clearly I was not ready. My macros were very all over the place. Last Friday I started the basic keto; less than 20 gr of carbs with no exercise. (a big deal for me as I workout 5-6 days per week). Here I am a week later still under 20 gr. a day…

Your pharmacist might be able to help with the tapering down and its side effects and what is causing the withdrawal symptoms. He might suggest you increase back to 7.5 until you see your doc... Good luck!

Great news. All the best to you!

I like spicy foods so my go to is spicy sriracha sauce (1 carb per tsp). However sriracha mayo is great with burgers (1part sriracha to 3 parts mayo and mix in a little lime or lemon juice)

My anti virus picks up MDA as a threat so I have to authorize each time I access the site. So maybe it's being flagged in your IT dept ? ?

@FIT_Goat Thanks for the feedback; I just need to eat a lot more volume until my body adjusts. This is what I couldn't figure out, I was polishing 2 hamburger patties at 200 gr each and it felt like a snack !!

My week was unsuccessful as far as zero carb is concerned. For the following reasons: - I tried to maintain my weight training program (I cut out HIIT sessions) with no carbs and crashed about every 3 days. Even though I know that I am supposed to limit exercise when starting this program until fully adapted. I was…

OMG! I devoured about 2 lbs of meat today!!! But it was either stuff my face with meat or give in to sweets. .... one day at a time.... :smile:

I'm new to this group but not new to LC. At the moment, I'm trying 20gr of carbs but I still get strong sugar cravings. It seems that I am very sensitive to carbs and cutting them out completely would definitely help me. (there is no such thing as moderation with me!!) I've been trying to lose the same 15-20 pounds these…

Hello everyone. New to this group and I would like to join the ZC challenge.

totally inspiring - thanks to all

My goal is to do the whole 30 except to keep whey protein and BCAA's. Continue weight training 4 x per week plus HIIT/walking. I am not new to paleo lifestyle; however Ihave added grains and sugar in my diet lately and its getting out of control! The Whole 30 program does not suggest we weigh ourselves or count calories…

Hello everyone, I will definitely join you for a whole 30 starting January 1st. Happy Holidays!
