I might get some backlash for this, but could it be a CICO issue? Are you truly eating what you say you're eating? Are you sticking to calorie/macro goals every day? Is your food set too high? You may be exercising 3X a week and are active with cheerleading practice, which is great for health, but are you over estimating…

Check out KetoGains on reddit! It's about LCHF and gaining muscle. You can figure out macros, ask questions, etc. I've been mostly on the keto train for about a year and have main some gains in the lifting department. The body does take some time to adjust, and lifts might not be as heavy as they could be at that moment in…

My boyfriend gave me a sore throat he got from one of his students, so I made egg soup with bacon on the side! Chicken flavored bullion cube, shirataki noodles, eggs, and bacon! No pictures, but so good! I've also been known to make a breakfast sandwich burger, unless of course. 4 oz burger, egg, american cheese, and…

If you're making your own drinks.... - Sugarfree pina colada drink mix (can find it in the water flavor section of grocery store), cream/coconut cream, water, ice, rum. Maybe a few coconut slices on top? -Other drink mixers: diet sodas, power aid zero, diet teas, sugar free drink mixes (Crystal Light) - I think I read…

What everyone else said. Also, if you track (I know some people are here for the forums.) choose foods that are zero carb for breakfast/lunch/snack so that you have allocated for extra hidden carbs if you are really worried. Otherwise, do your best! If you pick something that is higher carb than you thought, it's just one…

Great Article! I'm excited to see future research into the matter especially with humans.

If you're up for pancakes instead of waffles, the cream cheese pancakes are pretty good!

After reading all these posts, it might seem like we need to re-name this group Carbivore Anonymous. We're already a support group trying to break an addiction! To answer your question, I started by gradually raising my fats without worrying about carbs. However, I was of the thinking of no-fat was good. Once I made the…

There was an episode of South Park that eluded to it by "turning the food pyramid upside down".

@DittoDan "Maybe a restaurant that will either be a Ketogenic eating establishment or Keto friendly." My boy friend and I discuss this ALL the time. It's happening. Well, we have a menu and ideas for the menu... more concrete stuff to come... at some point...

spinach with lots of coconut oil and a steak.

I'm a teacher too! Have you tried cycling calories a little bit? I know some days for me, when I'm running after kids more or just being more active, I'm way hungrier. Other days I can eat about 1000 and be really full. It usually evens out over the week and gives me some wiggle room for hungry days or heavy lifting days.

These ideas are all great! Keep them coming!

-1 serving protein powder of choice -1 cup almond milk -1 tbs coconut oil Blend in food processor. Add LOTS of ice. Blend again! Very voluminous! Sometimes I add sugar free jello powder or crystal light drink mixes for flavor.

There's always something at any restaurant you go to. I would probably bring a jar or container or coconut oil because it doesn't have to be refrigerated and some Keto friendly snacks like nuts, pork rinds, pepperoni, etc. You can portion them out in bags before you go so you don't over do it or make it more purse…

I'm 5'3" and aim for 1400-1600 cal per a day. Feel free to check out my diary for ideas. However, in the initial transition period, you probably will feel a bit off with satiety and such. I know for me, there was a mental adjustment to the volume of food and feeling satisfied.

HA! You and my boyfriend. He claims it kept his face warm in the winter... now he just likes it.

I agree with the measuring. I go by how I look in the mirror and clothes. The mirror is where I see the most progress, which is great, but I measure and weight because I want numerical data.

That sounds amazing!

I have a cruise the first week of July, and I would like to be 155 for then, but realistically, this won't happen. I am currently 160 and a slow loser. In order to help expedite this process and know I've don't EVERYTHING I can do, I am going to log EVERYTHING every day and take a picture of the food I am eating even if…

I just use eggs and call it a pancake... I'll whisk 2 or 3 eggs together in a bowl, add some cinnamon, and fry it like one giant pancake. Then I'll add some butter melted with a tad of Walden Farm's Syrup on top. I honestly like these better than the real ones! It's an egg, but it's a sweet pancake egg.

I tend to be mostly dairy free except for the small amount of cream in coffee if coconut cream is unavailable and the occasional whey protein powder I use to make "ice cream". Feel free to friend me!

Every once in a while... like once every 3 months in an emergency situation, I have one. Dietary fiber is usually considered to be indigestible, and that's why some people choose to count NET carbs. My personal preference is to only do that if the fiber is coming from a natural source, however, that is my opinion. My main…

I chose swimming and rowing as sports in high school and collage because I knew from an early age I hated running. I think people emphasize running as "the" way to exercise or lose weight because it is the most easily accessible. Anyone can grab a pair of sneakers and walk out of their front door. Me, on the other hand,…

I am a very slow loser! I've lost 4-5 lbs in 5 months. Started at 164, lowest 159.9, current 160, goal 130-140. However, my mind and inside body feel fantastic! I'm also seeing muscle gains, so I'm not overly concerned about the scale's slow decent.

I look for volume if I'm craving a munch. I created an "ice cream" recipe with protein powder, almond milk, coconut oil, cream, and ice. The ice makes it a bit crunchy-ish. I usually get a very large bowl's worth for 250-300 cal with no more than 5 carbs.

Personally, I'm a habit and emotional eater. Even with LCHF, I can over eat if it's the right time of day or I'm bored. What's helped me, and I'm not perfect, it still happens sometimes, has been: 1. Chewing gum 2. Looking at food porn while chewing gum (Just trying to keep it real here.) 3. Reminding myself of my goal and…

Congratulations! and hang in there with the symptoms! Hold tight to your reasons for doing Keto and be kind to yourself while you adjust!
