Thank you everyone..my husband saw the video dissing coconut oil actually so I have been scrambling to find accurate info..sunny bunny and ccdragon I will check out Zoe Harcolme..I too have used coconut oil in my coffee and to fry with for several years now Gale..it's just that same old naysaying group I guess trying to…

Bottom line..you had less fluid retention..be thankful..coming from a person who has struggled with this problem for years..focus on the positive things that you notice..such as..clearer, softer, smoother skin..etc.

For me my biggest notice besides the bloat is much less pain from stiff joints. This is my second time at doing keto/low carb in 3 years and I'm 9 days into it.
-
sas1uk why the itch..it happened to me too!

Wow..you've done amazing! Congrats!

Very good post...I appreciate the enlightenment!

Homemade guacamole with pork rinds (find low carb version online), deviled eggs or egg salad made with dill pickle relish, mayo, diced celery & cucumber and if like it sweetened add Swerve to taste, mozzarella sticks cut in half, dipped in beaten egg, rolled in a mix of parmesan/almond flour/Italian seasoning/salt and…

Give it time...your skin should tighten up. I have had that saggy gut for a while too, but it gets better. Don't worry about that now...you are doing great and you can decide what to do later if you need do anything at all!

Sounds like you need to try keto dieting. Google it to get more info and then join MFP's Low Carb Daily Forum for help and encouragement. You can do this and without all the cravings and hunger pangs!

Russell Stover's Sugar Free candies taste amazing...just be careful not to overindulge or you may have regrettable results... ie diarrhea and embarrassing gas!
-
Congrats! logging always helps me stay on track and encourages me to keep going through the tough times. You can do it! :)

I like Palmolive Dish Soap for dishes...had trouble with my hands drying out and cracking (I don't have eczema) because of washing so many dishes, washing hands after so many diaper changes and the like when I had a daycare business. When I switched from Dawn Original to Palmolive there was a big difference. Also,…

You can get all kinds of encouragement and help (there are many knowledgeable people that have done keto for several years and multiple times) by joining the "Low Carb Daily Forum" here on MFP. I am an advocate for it...I assume you have been researching the WOE and must be feeling that it would definitely be worth a try…
-
But you might google face yoga exercises...I have done some of them and I think they really do help!
-
I make my own Borage & Green Tea Day Cream, lip balm, sugar scrubs, deodorant spray, body powder, cologne and body sprays...I have even brushed my teeth with clay and activated charcoal! LOL! :#

I do Low Carb High Fat...it works very well for me...you can google it and find all the info you want and need. It may work for you too!

@KnitOrMiss just had my yearly blood test and was told I was a tad low and would need to have medication adjusted. I asked for another month or two on the same dose because I was drinking coffee right after taking my med (I had just learned that caffeine affects the medication). I will be going to have it taken again next…
-
Hitting the age rewind button sounds good to me KnitOrMiss! It kind of sounds like keto has effected female hormones for some of you. Has anyone had they're estrogen/progesterone/testosterone levels tested since going keto..just interested if those hormones have changed? I have also heard about hormones stored in fat…
-
I know you're right elize7...I will have to deal with it..I think it's more bothersome right now since I feel "not-so-good" as my body is adjusting to ketosis. This is the best way to live!! So true kpk54 they are no fun..normally I take them in stride, but...as I said..I think it's just that I don't feel as well as usual…
-
I take levothyroxin and have had hot flashes for the last 20 yrs..maybe that is a connection KnitOrMiss. Perhaps these aren't hot flashes, but due to the coconut oil I put in my coffee! Whew..super hot is right mmultanen! You could ring me out!! :D
-
Oh wow..that WOULD make awesome wraps!
-
Amen to that @sandyt151! :wink:
-
Thank you...@SuperCarLori and @MyriiStorm! I wish you much success!!

I hope it's not to late to chime in on this? I made turkey & turkey gravy with corn starch, mashed potatoes, faux mashed (califlower) potatoes for me, green beans with bacon & onion, candied sweet potatoes, whole wheat bread sage dressing, gelled cranberry sauce, a pumpkin cheese cake for my husband and keto maple pumpkin…

Hi Tim! MelRC I can sympathize with you completely on not attaining my goals for the last 3 months, but you are absolutely right on setting them to have something to strive for. So I didn't make my October goal of 175 (missed it by 3.4 lbs). I wish I could lose 1 lb a week, but that hasn't been happening. But...my weight…
-
Deansdad, thank you! You always have very encouraging and helpful things to say. Thanks for saying it straight. It's a clear sound!
-
Yes, it looks yummy! :p
-
I'm 3.6 lbs away from my goal so I think like Mike I need to change it up a bit. I'm sticking to induction foods real well and don't cheat, but.........I think I'm having too many sugar alcohols. I agree with Satinpumpkin and Mike about coffee curbing the appetite (for me anyway).
-
Frob, glad you ask the question! I tried to get on the low carb forums the other day and thought something was wrong with my computer :# I decided to try it again tonight and clicked on my "groups" and then on the low carb groups (I know! I'm a bit dense when it comes to tech!!) and bwelah! here you guys are. What a…
