I've never really suffered from the keto flu symptoms. Until yesterday... I over-exercised yesterday and was having an *a-hem* intimate bedroom time with the husband when all of a sudden HOLY COW my foot cramped up so bad!! I jumped out of bed and yelled, "be right back honey! Gotta go drink some pickle juice" :)

i drink 150+ oz of water each day and never really experienced the keto flu. I remember hearing when I started to "drink water like it was going out of style". I was drinking broth (I hate the taste of salt) at least once a day to try to get my sodium up to 3000-5000 but then noticed I started retaining water. Now I just…

I heard and read that there's not really a way to test it. You go by how you are feeling.... like you said, not hungry, energy, stable moods, clear thinking, etc. It feels pretty good :)

Cyndi146 was generated by a previous forum cuz just Cyndi was taken. I've used it for everything now for the past 10 years. I tell people it's me Cyndi and I'm first, then I have 4 kids, and there's 6 in our fam. Boring, I know.

This group is just what I need <3

What do you all put in your kid's school lunches? My youngest is in high school and makes her own but the other day all she packed was cheese. four different kinds, but still. She doesn't like to put in a whole lot of effort so I'm trying to keep things simple by having meats & cheeses, raw dippable veges. Just looking for…

Welcome back :)

I've tried low carb before but always allowed all the fake foods and treats so the cravings never really went away and I always went back to eating the way I had previously been. I also believed the lines being fed to me that this WOE was not healthy long term and I needed those carbs for balance. This time around I've…

I LOVE closet shopping!!

Recently visited my 94 y/o grandparents and when she asked what I eat & I told her she said "Oh, you're on the Atkins diet". Yes, grandma :) but then she wanted to buy me all the low carb Akins treats.
