Dry wine, usual reds, although some whites are dry.

I am guessing that you are diabetic, and have been for a while. If that is the case, study the Dawn Phenomenon and liver dumps. If your pre keto numbers were higher, I would not be overly concerned as it takes some time for your body to heal itself. Also you might like to look into the work of Dr. Fung including " The…

MFP always puts you carbs way too high. I would adjust your % to look more like the post above. As the numbers depend on your body I can't give you exact numbers, but I have mine set for around 100 g of carbs and am at 20% carbs, 25% protein, and 55% fat.

At McDonald's I order a triple cheeseburger, no bun or ketchup. It cost $2. Their bunless burgers come on a bed of lettuce. BK's website is great, but I have found that in the actual restaurants the workers are less knowledgeable in how to make the changes I want, so they will have to ask the manager how to make something…

Hi! I've been doing some form of low carb for a year now. (Lost around 30 lbs.) I started out just keeping my carbs under 100 g then moved lower and lower until I was doing a Keto diet, added being (mostly) Paleo/Primal to it and currently am doing lower carb (mostly) Paleo/Primal as with the Holidays I knew that there…

"My TDEE is 2700 My BMR is 2300" If your BMR is 2300 then your daily goal should be AT LEAST 2300. 5/30/65 is a good ratio to start with. If after upping your calories you find that it's more protein then you feel like eating up the fat.

:D Way to go!

1. If the liquid has carbs then yes it would change the carbs some. Chicken stock is usually rather low in carbs so it wouldn't have much effect, but juices would. 2. You can either just subtract the fiber from your carb totals, or find entries labeled net carbs.

If one meal is higher in protein then your ratios and then later in the day you eat something higher in fat, it's not a big deal. The only thing you wouldn't want to do is eat most/ all of your carbs at the same time, especially if it is from something besides non-starchy veggies as it can spike your insulin.

A number of foods have either multiple entries or multiple choices of what measurement you use in an entry, just look around a bit until you find a measurement you can use, and in the worse case you can google a conversion chart. Also I would suggest http://www.marksdailyapple.com/ might be a useful resource for you. It is…

Gluten-free beer is usually made with a base of sorghum or sometimes barley (with the gluten removed somehow) but can also have rice, corn, buckwheat, fruit, honey or other sugars as part of the fermentables. They do range in style from pilsner to a red lager in lagers and pale ale to a brown in ales, but I have never seen…

There are multiply keto/ low carb groups on MFP, look there for help.

When I was actively working on losing weight I did try to keep my calories slightly below the amount of my estimated TDEE most days. Nowhere as low as what MFP said I should be at but 200-400 calories below. Now that I'm staying at about 5 pounds above what BMI says would be a healthy weight and smaller then I've been…

Although I just usually put something like that on a pile of lettuce or greens or just eat it straight, if I want a more sandwich like meal I make up microwave flaxseed flat bread, as it only takes a couple of minutes to make, and almost all the carbs in it are fiber. Here is a link to a recipe for it.…

Sadly that is on the lower end of how many carbs diabetics are told to have in a day, and her number of allowed carbs might be higher then that as it is not counting any snacks she might have been told to have as well. The one place I have the hardest time eating low carb and grain free at is at the home of a person that…

1. The protein setting does seam a little high for someone that is not looking to build muscle mass. If you are eating low carb then the logical thing to do is up your amount of fat, to fill in the extra calories that you have. 2. I would suggest using http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ to get an idea of the ratio of…

Most people on a keto diet would switch out a higher fat pork sausage for the turkey (or ground beef if you don't eat pork) and use a full fat variety of cheese and maybe use less peppers or a lower carb veggie. Also there are other low carb dressing options, ranch or just oil and vinegar have very few carbs per serving.

I sent you a friend request. I've been doing low carb since January.

You also might want to look over the threads on cholesterol in the low carb and Keto groups. There is a lot of good resources by people that actually studied the science on it and the science isn't showing that cholesterol meds. increase life expediency in women at all.

^^^^^^^^ What Dragonwolf said. I would also add you might need to eat more then 1800 calories, especially working out most days. One of the great things about a LC/HF diet is you shouldn't feel hungry all the time on it like a low calorie diet.

It takes a while to became Keto adaptive. During that time physical activities can be harder to do. This lasts longer then the Keto flu stage.

1. You do not want to eat an ice cream cone at one month in. It will most likely kick you out of Keto, which will not help with weight loss. 2. Although, counting calories is not as big of a deal with a low carb diet, recording your food is still a good idea to make sure that you aren't eating too many carbs or too little…

1. Add oil or a high fat dressing ( creamy ones like ranch, blue cheese, etc.) 2. Add seeds or nuts to it. 3. Add avocado.

My numbers are the same as last week. SW: 162 CW: 160 Loss: 1.23% But, with all the birthday parties and picnics this last week, no change is a win! :smile:

I've sent you a friend request, I've been doing a keto diet since Feb.
