You might be on keto if you hoard all the butter packets at a dinner out while refusing to touch the rolls. That one has weirded out some of my friends.

I know my daughter is not carb sensitive at 5. She is a carb eating machine. My son on the on the other hand is a lot like me even at 11. We are not counting his carbs but we have eliminated the obvious that we can agree is bad such as sugar, juices, pastas ect. If my wife wife was fully on board it would be easier.

I am relatively new to this as well, about 2 months and maybe one month of doing it right. I take no supplements except a multivitamin. The first 2 weeks are weird no matter what and I hear it is worse for women. I had the cramps, the heart palpitations (almost quit over that because of fat rational ). All I can say…

Awesome! Congratulation!

Welcome! Been doing this about a month. This group awesome. If you ask for help, you will get it. Everything else has already been said.

Didn't realise this was from September 13th....oops.

Hi and welcome, Hope this approach works out for you. -Stephanie Person is very cool bit I wouldn't use everything she says as gospel. She does make entertaining videos and the motivation is awesome. -I did not cut out caffeine. It did not seem to affect me at all. You will discover that some things just seem to be very…

What he said + I had a stall for a little over a week (I know that is very normal but I was impatient). The advice I got since everything else checked out was to be patient or try intermittent fasting. Not sure if it was a coincidence or not but I immediately got back to losing weight. This is only my experience and may…

I don't have access to mct oil or coconut oil so what I have done is 2 shots of nespresso (expresso) 10g of butter and an equal amount of heavy whipping cream. Add 2g of stevia and you have a smooth concoction that tastes more like ice cream than a fat bomb. The texture is awesome..

Never had muscle twitches but I had weird heart thumping at night. Made sure I drank some broth every evening for a few days and it went away. I don't seem to need it anymore. Not sure if it is relevant but there it is. Good luck.

According to everything I have seen this is correct.

^^ Welcome I would really suggest reading DittoDan's blog. You have a lot in common with him. This group is awesome with support and real life stuff. Skip all the theory and talk to the veterans here. I have been here for a month and received a lot of help every time I hit a hurdle.

Good stuff!

nice to know i am not the only one.

Been on the low carbon for the same amount of time and can report the same thing. I feel good. So many more benefits than weight loss (even though the weight loss is nice). Welcome!

It will pass. Just hang in there.

Pretty sure I am reaching it. I never log salt. I need to start doing that

Thank yall for the support. I am glad I am not the only one noticing the morning energy. I am very glad I can now wake up and just get going. Six pack by Christmas may be too ambitious for me. I would be happy with wearing a large.

great. the more i learn the less this gets boring.

ok. we can adjust that. thanks.

I should have talked to you before i started this. thanks for the advice :-) I have eliminated the peas and tomatoes the last 2 days since they made it difficult to get to the goal. With the raised protein goal i won't have a problem reaching my fat need. The carrots really were there just as a way to get enough fat in (i…

Thanks. I do look at net carbs on the app. Not sure why it doesn't show it on the web.

Thanks.

Thank you all for the responses. I think i am drinking enough water. My thirst has gone up quite a bit. I am around 4*0.75l a day (3l). I will up my protein and adjust for the calorie intake.

I am not maintaining. I still have a 5kg to get to my first goal. (final goal is 10 more kg after that). Goal 1 is weigh on my son's birth. Goal 2 is my weight freshman year in college which was good.

Ok sounds like i should increase my protein intake. I have noticed 1 sign which is despite the fact the food in front of me is really good and i want it - i get full very quickly.

opened it now. I used the ratios from the ketosis calculator. isn't protein supposed to be low at first?

Male 34 Busy professional and family man so very few workouts (mainly on week ends) 5'5'' Now 85kg Was close to 100kg 2 years ago.

Not a professional here but recently had a plateau. Followed some advice that helped me. 1-don't discourage. you may actually be building muscle and still losing fat. the scale wont show that. 2-i added a green tea (with no sugar or with stevia) after each meal. 3-while maintaining you calories for your desired weight…
