I've read mixed things as well... http://www.nobunplease.com/alcohol-on-a-low-carb-keto-diet/ "Be aware that when consuming alcohol, it is burned first before fat in the body. For some people, this causes a stall. In others, it jumpstarts weight loss. Test it for yourself and see how your body handles it!"

Great Suggestions - can't wait to try to mushroom soup huneydrop!

does anyone have any suggestions for good high fat/low protein options to help meet macros. my dieting group has hit a roadblock with avocados.

Thanks! I have been reading anything under net 50 should keep you in ketosis but it does make sense to target 20-25. Wine content is definitely too high. I was hoping that by still meeting my macros and caloric intake even with a drink or two it wouldn't significantly impact loss. Guess I was wrong on that one...

huneydrop - I had no idea about the Splenda. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I agree, the less I eat prepared foods and the more I cook at home the better I feel and more consistently I can track.

Thanks, Toxikon! The Keto Calculator suggested 34 net based on my goals but I may try to get lower. I think the dairy and alcohol have to go if I want to see any significant differences. I can't imagine a life without cheese!

Any and all suggestions are appreciated. I feel like by hitting my macros and calorie goals with no results. I did fall out of Keto once 2 weeks ago but quickly went back in. Thanks! height 5'8"; current weight 150; goal weight 135; I drink a ton of water (at least 140 ounces/day) I stopped exercising when I began the diet…
