Awesome! I am going to spend a week with my mom & show her how I do it!

Awesome! Keep it up Girlie!

Thanks! these are great ideas!

Thank you! Idk what I'd do without my mom around so I definitely want her to get herself together. If epilepsy won't go away, we can at least work on the other factors with LCHF

Noted. She thinks it's weird with all the butter and fats I eat. But I'm gonna get her there gradually. First thing 4 my mom is to cut her sweets. Thanks

I get a MILLION ideas from Pinterest for foods. https://www.pinterest.com/fancyab/low-carbn/

I would love to read your letter! I have had a lot of convos outside of this letter with my mother about low carb & ketosis. I apparently should've wrote a disclaimer that said. I know her personality and she liked the letter. I'm not worried about her at first jumping into keto, just getting her off sweets would be a huge…

Yea I told her to stick to it and her body will adjust. I go through mood swings the first few days, cravings, and other side effects, face breaks out, lips chap up... It's rough at first but worth it.

Just to let everyone know... I live an hour and a half away from my mom :-( So being able to cook with or for her isn't going to happen as much as I'd like it to. I plan on my visits to load her up with low carb foods. This letter was wrote a few weeks back. Prior to the letter, and now we have a lot of conversations about…

Guess I needed to say that I've had plenty of convos with my mother about low carb and things I eat, and don't eat, and recipes before this letter. I unfortunately don't live close enough to cook with her and do the things you suggested. I'm making a trip there this month and plan on taking a bpx of my fave low carb…

The problem is with insurance issues and recently being approved for disability & Medicaid... She is just not able to get a regular doctor & see a, supposedly great highly recommended, neurologist for the first time this month. She doesn't see an endocrinologist. I live an hour and a half from my mom, so getting to be at…

Sorry so long!! I just wanted to share.

If you don't have a Pinterest account you should get it just for the food ideas. there are tons! http://www.pinterest.com/fancyab/low-carbn/ There's my board

Got to love the lovely TOM :s I had a crazy sweet tooth 2 days ago, CRAZY and I normally don't even crave sweets. I fought it off for the most part I had been keeping these carb smart ice cream bars in the house, made by Breyers, they have splenda in them, 9 carbs per bar... Kills the craving. However this time I didn't…

My last was early and felt like it lasted forever. Currently dealing with it, its light and no cramps. I have been extra emotional though. lol

I loveeeee Starbucks. stupid evil carbs! >:) I live near a dunkin donuts now, and i downloaded their nutrition menu i cannot believe some of the carbs in those drinks!! INSANE! My new job I start Friday literally has a Starbucks on the same floor about 10ft away from my spa. LOL lord knows the temptation is real!

thank you!

i had HORRIBLE leg cramps by the way they did not stop until i started a 500mg magnesium pill. you may need more at times you tweak it to your body. in another blog someone told me if you eat fruit, like the bananas we both love, have protein with it like a piece of cheese, or meat to help the carbs in the banana digest. i…

Good to know thank you @ A_Dabuer I did have a slice of cheese and a few slices of turkey with my banana this morning. I will surely look up the Glycemic index, thanks for that! The keto side-effects were driving me bonkers, the main thing was the chapped lips that was the worse for me. no matter what I put on them!! I…

Thank ya thank ya! I haven't had issues with workouts with keto. I've been able to get through them fine & had plenty of energy. Didn't notice much of a change. Now that I'm finally getting a good workout routine going, I'll let you know if that changes. lol Hopefully you can get feeling good with your workouts too

Thanks! Me too!!

By the way, thanks with all MFP & Keto friends for the support! Y'all keep me motivated!

You might be a keto dieter if... you dip your meat in cream cheese. You might be a keto dieter if... the amount of sugar in fruit makes you go eek. You might be a keto dieter if... you drink all your liquor straight. You might be a keto dieter if... your pee runs you out the bathroom. :# :p

awesome!! :D

As far as I understand if you have a cheat day with high carbs it can knock you out of keto. You can jump back into low carb the next day, but your body will readjust to ketosis again, some people can get in quick others can take a days to get back into ketosis. I know when I cheated it took me a day or two to get back to…

I'lll try that. I've adjusted my macros. See if that helps. Take in more carbs. Etc... I do supplements. true.

haha, goodness. i never had the breath issue thank goodess. i went to bite into my breakfast this morning my lips cracked and bled. so yea.... i changed up my macros quite a bit! I may have never had enough salt, never tried the broth. But for right now I'm stepping away from keto. If my body goes into keto cool, if not…

I love coconut oil I keep it on hand! I have used it on my lips. I use it on my skin all the time makes it feel & smell so good!

I took a vitamin C packet last night I'll see if that works. for now I've adjusted my macros. I've been driving myself crazy about this diet. I think I'm going to adjust my approach a bit
