I got a foot tattoo, and holy heck, it's painful. I'd give yourself about a week off of any strenuous stuff on your feet. They can swell and feel like they're going to rip open, and that's without anything on your feet. Plus lots of sweat won't be good for your skin while it's healing, it might foster an infection.

This question is definitely for your doctor, not MFP. Sorry you're sick, I hope you feel better soon!!

Thanks for reminding us of our humanity! Hilarious. Hope it never happens again!

I would NOT commit 100% to anyone's advice unless they are certified to give you proper advice that will not leave you sick or with an eating disorder. Eat fresh foods, veggies, fruits, eggs, meats, whatever you want. Try to reduce added sugars (not ones from fruits and veg) get lots of water, and keep working out. Now, I…

I totally understand what you're getting at, but I don't think that it was meaning to say eat cheerios and you'll never diet, I think it was more about the GoGirls thing. I miss Cheerios, to be perfectly honest. I love them. Plain, honey nut, banana nut, apple cinnamon, peanut butter, and multi grain. For our Keto,…

I agree, way to go!

I don't think making your own home brew and wanting to enjoy makes you an alcoholic. It makes you a beer loving human being in my books! (not to make light of alcohol or any other addictions)

I saw something once that Cashews were supposed to be helpful. I tried it. Not helpful!

I hope this is a joke :D

I suggest joining the Keto group on MFP. Good keto foods: Bacon, eggs, bacon, full fat dairy, Almonds, Macadamia nuts, did I mention Bacon?

Probably. Hope your headache goes away soon. Once you manage to ditch the soda all together, you'll probably feel better!

Tried Body by Vi because my friends sold it at the time and basically bought it for me and forced me to try it. Tastes good, did nothing for weight loss. Not really different than any other high quality protein powder. I *assume* that Shakeology is similar.

How thoughtful! :D

I feel you. I sometimes just wish my inner monologue would shut the eff up. Try to change what you're telling yourself. Instead of being upset at eating a McMuffin, try thinking like, well, I had that mcmuffin, so what do I need to do in order for that to work into my diet, and then make the plan to do it. Easier said than…

I've heard the Fog doesn't last too long, maybe 2-4 days? I feel foggy now but I don't think it's keto related. Not very good with logging, and I ate some carby foods yesterday and drank a ton of beer the day before. Hope you don't have many problems. The salt intake is important.

Mash them up with some cocoa and have a banana chocolate pudding :D

I would be so grateful. I would feel kind of less grateful if the sizing was very inaccurate, but still, the thought counts!! My husband has never bought me lingerie. He said he doesn't know what size to get. As if! Either cop a really good feel before you go shop or just look at the tags on what I already have!! DUH.

I believe everyone should be paid a decent wage for work, and even working in fast food is still work. Maybe not the ideal dream job that most of us have in mind. I worked at McDonalds while I was in high school. I made minimum wage, at the time it was just about $7.00.hr. It was enough to help me save up for a used car. I…

I was hoping this thread might give me more clarity on whether or not I tell my future kids about Santa. It has not. I'm still torn. Personally I cannot stand what Christmas has become. I hate hearing about all the drama between people who celebrate and people who don't. I hate that so many people just have turned it into…

Honestly, I am starting to think that I am not a good Keto person. I am having such a hard time sticking to the right foods, without somehow slipping and eating/drinking some carby foods/drinks. I can make it through 2/3 of the day perfectly well, but once I get home, something always appeals to me and before I even…

Your net carbs are carbs that are made of fiber, and are good for you. They help your digestive track stay on...well, track. You should be try to aim for about 30 or less g of net carbs. Net carbs that are also keto friendly can be found in Almonds, Avocado, Pecan, Artichoke, Kale, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc. Lots of…

Thanks to one of the links above, there is another link here to configure your MFP account! It was actually the link I was looking for, so I'll share it: http://cavemanketo.com/configuring-mfp/

BTW I think the "Miley does it best" part is said sarcastically. I hope it is anyhow. 'Cause I can barely see her tiny but move when she twerks.

Awwww, I wish.

I have been eating nuts like a madwoman. I realized that my favorite ones are high in carbs (cashews), so once I finish eating them (I'm not wasting food no matter what!) I'm going to stick to Macadamia nuts, as they are one of the lowest carb nuts. Almonds are good because the carbs are mainly fiber, which is a net carb…

9 Very lovely! Nice hair!

WOW, you are so awesome for sharing!!!!!!!!!

I only looked at one day of your diary, but I noticed a lot of carbs coming from those Keto muffins. May I ask what is in them, as it seems high carb for a low carb diet plan. Looks like you're eating healthy, but still higher carb. Have you tried adjusting your macros for a more keto friendly approach? Usually about 80%…

Damn I wish I had this kind of problem! LOL, just kidding. I'm sure it's different for everyone! What about using those calories up by making something delicious and healthy, like maybe a fruit and yogurt smoothie, or a chicken salad wrap, or some eggs? Ice cream, like someone else suggested is also a fine choice. As long…
