Here is something easy to make, and they are great. Bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos. Jalapenos sliced lengthwise and cleaned of all seeds. Fill with cream cheese, then wrap a slice of bacon around it. Bake on cookie sheet. I use parchment paper for easy clean up. Bake at 350 until bacon is done. Yummy!!

I'm 45 years old, and my thyroid is working fine. Just had the Doctor do a full panel on it. I know when I had the heat flashes during the first couple of weeks, it freaked me out a bit too. I was like the OP who kind of worked her way up to getting into the keto stage with a few mess ups. lol You should be past the…

Have you just started doing keto? I know I had hot flashes in the first couple of weeks of the diet. It went away after that and hasn't done it since. I wonder if it is because my body was transitioning from glucose to ketones? I have read that other people have had the same issue, but it will go away. Stay calm, and Keto…

Thank you. I have only been doing keto for a month so I am pretty new as well. I do like this way of eating, because after the couple of yucky days, it is amazing how much better you will feel, and then your body will turn into a fat burning machine. :drinker:

Well, I'm feeling a lot better today, but my appetite has definitely dropped. I'm just not hungry? I am sure it will come back soon, just got to let my stomach heal I guess. Hope you are feeling better as well?

Sorry to hear you were under the weather too. It has been a hard couple of days. Hoping tomorrow is better for us both.

I don't have much of an appetite today. I have eaten eggs this morning, and I will have some more for dinner, but I will have to make myself eat. Hope this is over soon. :cry:

Welcome to the group. I hope you find it as helpful as I have. :smile:

It's all good. I'm constantly learning and changing the way I am getting my calories and carbs. Thank you all for your concern and input. I will take all info under advisement. I do by the way take vitamins to offset my lack of veggies. :happy:

Thank you for your concern. It was very kind of you. :smile:

I am new to this way of eating. I was told to set my % at 65%, 35%, 5%. I did that and eat according to my set ratios and calories. I have a limited set of meals right now, but I am learning about more foods I can eat. I appreciate your input, but you did kind of come across snotty. I'm sure it wasn't intentional. I am…

YAY!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!! :drinker:

I have mine set at 65% fat, 35% protein, 5% carbs, at 1500 calories a day. I hope that helps. :happy:

Glad to hear it!! If you have any questions, just ask. :wink:

I just recently started keto as well, and you have your percentages messed up. You are getting too many carbs, more protein than fat as well. If you would like to look at my diary it might help you. I don't use any of the coconut oil, or stuff like that. Just regular foods. Took me a bit to figure things out as well. You…

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know. :happy:

Had my expectations to high in the beginning, but I am happy I figured out losing weight a little bit at a time is still losing weight! Just lost another pound today!!! 27 days and 7 pounds lost is a good start. :happy:

Ok, thank you. I just didn't know if they would contain carbs that I wasn't aware of. That was why I was curious. lol

I will certainly do just that. I understand how confusing it can be. LOL I would have never figured it out if not for a few of you on here. Loving this diet. I did have a cheat today for the first time and went over my carbs by 10. I did stay under 30 grams though. :tongue:

Thank you. I think I finally figured out where I needed my stuff set. LOL I jumped into this diet with very little understanding of how it worked. Not smart, but I stepped on the scale on December 30th, and it was straight up 200 pounds! I decided right then to do something about it. I am determined to lose weight, and…

Thank you, I did end up finding it. I just wasn't using the custom tab. lol I think I have it figured out now. Thanks to everyone for your help. :happy:

1500 kcal Daily Calorie Intake 20 g Carbohydrates (5%, 80 kcal) 71 g Protein (19%, 284 kcal) 126 g Fat (76%, 1136 kcal) Does this look better? Can anyone tell me how to adjust this on my food diary so it reflects where I should be during the day?

Actually I have stalled and I'm satiated again. I have no idea if I am in ketosis anymore? I'm staying under on my carbs, and I'm not cheating? I think I got my ratios figured out, and I raised my calories I hope this is correct?

I'm new to this keto way of eating, but I attempted to make a batch of fat bombs. I took half of a package of cream cheese, and real whipped cream, and beat them together with my mixer. Put bite sized dollops on parchment paper and froze them. Yummy!!! I am not experienced enough to give you calories, fat ratio..........?…

1308 kcal Daily Calorie Intake 20 g Carbohydrates (6%, 80 kcal) 75 g Protein (23%, 300 kcal) 103 g Fat (71%, 928 kcal) These are the numbers I am getting from the calculator. I am 5'6" 195 pounds, female. Just wanting to make sure I am getting to where I need to be with my food intake. Thank you guys for all of your help.…

I'm like you with the sugar in my coffee. I started using whipped cream. Get the real stuff though. I'm still in the stage of getting my percentages right, as this whole diet has confused the heck out of me. :grumble:

Ok, thank you. I think after reading all these stories of people losing 20 pounds in 3 weeks, ect.... that I did have my goals set poorly. Can you tell me, the best way to track this stuff? Do I need to get a food scale? Will that help me? I have made sure my fat intake is more than protein, but I am doing it overall…

Good luck to everyone. :happy:

My scale won't budge either. I started LCHF diet on December 30, 2013, and have been in keto from Jan 2nd on. I am staying around 20 carbs or less a day, and at first I was taking in more protein than fat, but I quickly figured it out. I have only lost 4 pounds in 19 days. I am currently at 196 pounds, I am 5'6", and 45…

Hi, My name is Dawn, and I was born in 1968. I'm trying to lose 60 pounds using the LCHF diet. I'm on day 13, and I have lost 4 pounds so far. My appetite is lowered and I feel quite good. I'm still trying to figure out this site. lol
