I definitely think it would be a wonderful idea to bring those things up to your doctor. Although my blood pressure and blood results always came back normal. But I did have to go through 3 EEGs before my seizures were actually seen on the brainwaves. My doctor had told me the frontal lobe area is often the most difficult…

Hey there, I'm Kayla :-) I have been on Keto since late September. I started cutting out carbs July-August before that, but officially had it approved by my doctor around that time. My seizures have been all over the board since they started. Mine come from my right frontal lobe and started when I was 17 (although 2 years…

Working days: Any random mix of 2 or more of the following: - 1-2 oz Greek Yogurt with Australian Grown Chia Seeds, with either fruit/or tomatoes. - String cheese - Handful of Almonds - Boiled egg - 2 glasses of water, with lemon juice Days off: A meal similar to: -Boiled egg -Bacon, with Australian grown chia seeds…

Don't worry too much about under-eating (or over-eating) at first. Fat triggers satiety. Fat is filling. Fat stays in your stomach for a while. Your body just needs to start making additional enzymes to effectively break it down. Let it do that. Don't confuse it by increasing carbs. The macro you should always try to get…

I'm concerned about how few calories I'm getting. Do you think this shouldn't be a concern?

You are welcome to add me! :-)

bump for new 2014 members!

How about we just agree that you completely dislike the Ketogenic diet and I completely love it and we will forever be ready to fight one another on the topic?

Oh and BTW Mr_Knight, I enjoy your new avatar better than the last. I giggled at it upon first reading through this thread.... ...and now, I realize...it's YOU!

For the love that's all good in the world. OP: "WIth that being said I would only like to discuss the diet and not why I should not use this diet."

You're welcome to go to the groups and join the 'Keto' group, we would love to have ya! This site should help you with your macros: http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

Agreed :-)

Arby's without the bun, grilled chicken from KFC, and last night since it was a 'crazy' New Year's night, I had the privilege of trying a Big Mac without the bun (I would not recommend it). I find it is a very DIFFICULT adventure to not be outvoted in fast food regard, because people normally want it for convenience...so…

I don't drink (I don't judge, I just have medical conditions). So I'm being REALLY risky and tipping back some Diet Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash. :laugh: :drinker:

No problem! Feel free to add me :-)

There are tons of ways. Yep, some people do put it in their coffee, I have a friend on here who does that every morning. I use mine in replacement of any oil whenever I fry anything. It can also be used for 'fat bombs', which is great when you need fat in your diet (there is a current post on these right now :-). Some…

Wonderful job :-) It's great to see that the two of you worked together as well, that really is inspiring :-)

I've never been able to do most fat bombs, but this one sounds like one I'm interested in. :-)

From what I see you're off to a great start. I would recommend changing up a few things though. First thing I noticed was that on most days your fat intake is = your protein, or less than your protein. It's important to be getting MORE fat than protein. I'm always checking labels for this. Coconut/Coconut oil is a big and…

I do respect you for realizing it is a transition. Some people do not take this into consideration, hit the road running, fail and never try it again. I was a vegetarian for 2 years, and then a vegan for 2 years, even a vegan Chef. Unfortunately, I had to stop because of interfering health conditions. Now I eat the…

Oh, and by the way, your baby is PRECIOUS!

Would you open your diary? That may give some more insight.

I do greek yogurt, ice, either strawberries/blackberries, almonds, spinach, lemon juice, lots of chia seeds, a tad of dark chocolate and if I'm feeling spunky, a touch of chocolate redi whip. Oh, and shredded unsweetened coconut.

Hahaha! I literally just laughed out loud. We have this tradition...and I've never thought of it, but now, I'm pretty sure next year I'm going to get a whacky ornament and just go on about how much I love it.

4 hours from where I was born, 2 hours from where I went to high school, and 7 hours from where I live now. Not bad

I would have had been made to apologize and had to stand in the corner right that minute in front of everybody, if had I said that about ANYONE to their face at that age, just for the fact that I was embarrassing my family and myself, plus disrespecting an elder. I can't tell you how many holidays there was a child…

I apologize, I'm on a Keto diet, so that's what my resources are on. I have looked at a few Paleo books in some book stores before but they didn't fit my needs so I didn't get them, although many of sources on link one do define themselves as just "low carb". As to what I've read into so far, I have found The Art and…
