Yay for slow!

Congratulations. I'm also keto, and know the value of just sticking with it, and taking it day by day, as it comes. You are fantastic!

Boop a doop! 20g a day net. Feel free to friend! :)

Boop de doop! I'm 53. My weight loss has slowed, but is still steady at around 2-3 lbs a month. I'll take it. ~50 lbs to go. YOU CAN DO IT.

Hi there. I've lost 146ish lbs. My primary weight loss method is low carb + keeping on top of portions. It has taken me a bit over 3 years to lose this much weight. I now do Keto. It's a modified low carb eating plan that allows me sufficient fats to feel very satisfied, moderate protein so I stay in ketosis, and very low…

Protein? Chicken Thighs! They're magnificent. Baked, broiled, or even poached! You can't make it rubbery unless you try really hard. My fave ways to cook the fatty little babies: - Salt and pepper, baked - Curry powder, garlic, and coconut milk, baked - Fried with salt, pepper, herbs - Poached in lemon juice and chicken…

Echoing missyyclaire below, getting rigorous about not having any sugar and keeping those carbs super low really helped me start moving along again. I had a year-long stall on low-carb, and then switched to keto, and have said goodbye to another 20 lbs of pure fat since March. I know that a lot of people have really big…

My cholesterol numbers came in today too... From the (EU) doctor's perspective, my cholesterol was a little high, but he said the ratio was really good. How do my numbers below translate into American numbers? Bueller? Anyone? :) Cholesterol (Serum) 5.34 (acceptable range 2.0 - 5.0) Triglyceride (Serum) 1.22 (acceptable…

And... you know... if after another week of extra water you see continued acne, try eliminating the coconut oil for a couple weeks... if the problem doesn't go away, you know it's not this WOE or the coconut oil :)

Have you tried eliminating one of your bigger keto food groups to see if you are incompatible with some finite part of it? I had my gallbladder out years ago, but I do know a few people who were high HWC/dairy keto-ers who, due to terrible gas, the combo constipa-runs, and gallbladder issues, had to cut out the dairy and…

Put half in a small sealable container and freeze it. Texture isn't perfect, but it's good enough. I can't even imagine it going bad, it goes so fast around my place lol.

Sweet potatoes and quinoa.

Hi cakeribs - it's a general alkalizing mixture and I find it helpful for combating acid in my digestive tract. I take it morning to give me a good shot at alkalizing, then have the magnesium half an hour later, then a shot of wheatgrass juice. I find myself generally feeling fresher, brain clearer, since I started doing…

This may be a little hippie/woo-woo for most people, but lately I've been feeling completely overhauled by adding the following to my diet: a. Magnesium water (recipe: http://www.afibbers.org/Wallerwater.pdf) - I drink a cup of it morning and night, and my leg cramps have disappeared b. Lemon/bicarb water (juice of half a…

My calories are set at 1600, or 1800. I can't remember ;) BUTT, my main thing is to try to eat enough fat so my fat:protein ratio is at least 2:1. Sometimes I'm way under my calories, sometimes way over. My carbs come mostly incidentally to my fat (like with HWC). Slow down on yer carby veggies. Stick to green leafies.…

I had this issue before keto, and it was all hypothyroid. I *wish* I could get Armor thyroid medicine, but they don't have it here in Malta :-/ My naturopath told me it was a combination of the low thyroid, low minerals, and lousy metabolism of the minerals I was taking. Slowly, my hair is growing back in (though now it's…

Thanks for the feedback :)

I've still got another ~100 to go. Count me in! :)

So... to circle back. Last night was the fancypants Bordeaux dinner. I went ahead and ate the mushroom ravioli, and a little bit of the GF polenta lemon bread, and drank a LOT of delicious wine. I also went ahead and ate the little golf ball of sorbet. And the 2" piece of ginger lemon cheesecake ;) To be honest.... though…

Yes - super duper awesome. THANK YOU ALL OF YOUZE GUIZE! I'll try to remember everything and estimate portions because that will be hilarious in my diary. ;)

So basically what yer saying is "out is out" and just like any other situation, I'd be 'restarting' keto regardless, yes? "Amount of out" has no bearing?

I recently went thru this. Since the scale *might* weigh a 5 lb bag of flour fine, but not your body, my suggestion is just to buy a new scale. I'm SO happy I did. My old scale was weighing in at 10 lbs-ish less than what my new digital scale tells me, and now every day I get to see a .1 or .2 or more loss. WHEE! I got…

I whiz mine up with a little latte frother (the kind you can pick up at ikea or here http://www.amazon.com/IKEA-Produkt-Milk-Frother/dp/B002Y6FBU2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398945934&sr=8-1&keywords=frother). (whoa, I didn't know you could get IKEA stuff thru Amazon - this is dangerous to know.) ANYWAY, I use an Aeropress to…

Sugar and wheat are poison to me, and not necessary for a good healthy diet.

Print all this stuff out. Highlight the parts that touch you - tape this stuff up where you can see it. It's all kinds of loving support! :)

I'm doing BP coffee now, and feeling pretty awesome. I notice now if I eat even close to my protein macros I start feeling a bit heavy/sleepy. I do the coffee around 6am, eat lunch around noon/1pm, and dinner around 7pm. Hit the sheets around 9pm. I'll give this a week or so to settle, then see how it goes. :)

I have one of those little cheap Ikea frothers. It looks like a little spring wound into a circle on the end of a stick. Battery operated. I just give my coffee a whizz after the oils are melted, and boom, done.

That's my goal too. Feel free to check out my diary :)

Of course. Just for me, I don't need THAT much more ;) Otherwise the bags under my eyes need bras ;) My tissues tend to hold on to water weight, so I'm a bit more sodium sensitive than likely you are. :)

I love broth - especially home made bone broth. It's filled with magic and has far less sodium than the cubes. All that marrow and cartilage stuff helps us rebuild our bodies. Yay!!
