  • I'm going to start drinking electrolyte water. Since I've been working to increase my water intake, I think it would help me accomplish that plus get my electrolytes in which will hopefully reduce my headaches.
  • My first go around doing Keto a few months ago I did it for about 4 weeks and lost 18 lbs, 10 lbs in the first week which was mostly water. I gained about 5 lbs back after stopping keto, most of which was water as well. Now doing keto I'm losing about .5-1 lb per week. I'm eating a bit more carbs this go around as well and…
  • I used to get migraines maybe once every few weeks. Now I get them several times a week.
  • The Low Carber Daily Forum....The LCD Group is your homepage
  • There are some threads I should just not even poke my head in. I try to avoid threads like this saying "oh yea 2 slices of pizza were only 38 g of carbs" when I know if that were me, I would have those 38 g of carbs plus wouldn't be able to avoid more carbs for the rest of the day. And that's if I end up eating only two…
  • Anyone add any powders to your PBC? I've seen a few recipes that call for collagen. On top of collagen and protein powders I also have a TON of maca, garcinia cambogia, and other super food powder that might be tasteless in BPC. Wondering if anyone else has experimented with these.
  • Please visit these links for Keto and low carb support.
  • I messed up last night. I was doing really well the past few weeks. Yesterday I did IF and skipped breakfast then had an awesome keto lunch and went to the gym and did a really good session of cardio. Then I got home, I already had dinner planned and everything. My roommate was baking cakes and had several scraps she…
  • Sounds like something I would say!
  • I buy all different types of meat and my protein does tend to be on the high side but I do my best to get my fat in otherwise (BPC and fat bombs work wonders for that). I would go crazy if I limited myself to just certain kinds of meats.
  • @Cyndi146 1.) What the heck is that and 2.) Is it good?
  • You know you're KETO when... You're on the hunt for low carb recipes and 1.) You are outraged by the number of net carbs per serving even though the dish is labeled a "low carb", "lighter", "healthier" variety. 2.) You completely ignore blogs and websites that don't provide nutritional information alongside the recipe.…
  • I have squirt water flavorings by Stir that come in a variety of flavors, citrus being one of them. I wouldn't say it tastes anything like orange juice but maybe closer to orange soda. Be careful though, most of these brands use Sucralose. Stir uses Stevia and Crystal Light has a product line called Pure that uses Stevia.…
  • This actually repulses me it looks so disgusting. Individually, yea, I like everything in it, but they really just threw everything and the kitchen sink in there.
  • @Sarahb29 oh man, occasionally I'll pass by the Naked Juice aisle thinking I'll finally find something with a tolerable amount of carbs. I am always wrong. It's astonishing and people think it's healthy. On a side note, I bought a juice a year ago and immediately after (never even got to use it) I changed my WOE, not to…
  • I took one of my favorite pasta recipes and made it using spaghetti squash. Cajun Shrimp Alfredo. I used 2 whole spaghetti squash and multipled the rest of the ingredients by 1.5. Took out green onion and added one red and yellow pepper. It made 5 servings but you could easily get 6+.
  • Browsing Pinterest for low carb recipes and this promoted pins pops up. I feel like some smarter audience targeting could have been done because this is completely irrelevant to me and did not match any of the other pins on the page.
  • I love these pepperoni or salami wrapped mozzarella sticks (called panino fingers) I get from Publix or Costco. I usually eat 2 but the serving size is for 4 sticks at 300 calories, 25 g fat, 2 g carbs and 17 g protein.
  • Isn't the gold package the salted variation? Now that I'm thinking of it...I have no reason to eat the unsalted variation if ketoers generally need more sodium.
  • I've started to notice that frustration is one of the things that triggers food cravings. Some of my main sources of frustration are work and DRIVING! I don't get really bad or aggressive road rage but it seems like no one can drive and I get very annoyed easily. I've noticed every time someone does something on the road…

  • Feel free to add me, I have open and a pretty active diary. Looking for the same.
  • Check out these two groups, plenty of people doing Keto here. Low Carber Daily Forum....The LCD Group keto
  • I drink it in the morning when I'm not IF. It keeps me very very full. I make mine with 2 cups of coffee, 2 Tbsp MCT oil, 2-3 tsp heavy whipping cream, 1 Tbsp butter, cinnamon, granulated Stevia and English Toffee flavored liquid Stevia. I blend it with the single serve attachment for my blender. I use a Keurig for the…
  • About a year or two ago I purchased these VERY cheap knockoff Nike workout leggings from this online store (I should've known they were knockoffs because they were like $5 and Nike products are usually $50+). I tried the first 2 out of 3 on and they ripped before they even got past my knees! They were well over one full…

  • My skin has umproved dramatically. It was never really too bad but my pores have always been very big for as long as i can remember with tons of stubborn BHs on my nose and a little bit of discoloration. I'm not sure how much of the improvements I'm seeing is attributed to this WOE, how much of it is because I started the…

  • @sdemontigny I can't speak for OP but I recommend this one. I plan on making this recipe using spaghetti squash.
  • I'm in the same boat as you. I did keto back in March/April and dropped like 18 lbs in 3 weeks with 10+ of it being in the first week. That was primarily water weight, probably 8lbs I would attribute to water. I stopped doing keto out of laziness until about 3 weeks ago. I was eating a lot of carbs and gained a few pounds…
  • I apologize I am skipping right to the reply section I haven't read all of the comments. Be sure to count net carbs vs total carbs. With net carbs, you subtract the fiber from foods so as you brought up, spinach for the most part and other leafy greens will have a lot of fiber and no you do not count that. Also, how…
  • Halloween will be okay because I'm in my late twenties so I'm over the going out to the club for drinks scene. It's not really a cooking holiday and I don't have kids so candy in the house is not an issue. I'll probably get candy for the kids in the neighborhood but honestly the idea of any added sugar milk chocolate candy…
