I've olive oil, coconut oil, and medicated lip balm on my lips... still no change. I may need more salt to retain the water keto makes us lose. I'm not on any medications. I do a lot of avocado for potassium and my multivitamin for women has it as well

Some days I take in more protein too, but you don't want that to be a habit, because the protein will store in your body as glucose if you eat too much. I always subtract my dietary fiber.

this is good to know helps me stay focused & know this was the perfect lifestyle change.

I'm just starting out I do 5% carbs 70% fat 25% protein From what I understand form others in this forum if you are stalling you need to adjust your micros, try more fat. and make sure not to over do protein since your body can use it as glucose if you eat too much of it.

Welcome! I sent you a request, I've been going at it over a month now. I don't get on scale often because It drives me nuts, it doesn't add up to how I feel and how my clothes are fitting! So keep on keepin on & you will see results for sure!

Finally tried pork rinds, melted cheese and sour cream last night, i loved it. only way i can stand pork rinds!!! my hubby looked at me like i was gross "you're eating a bowl of fat" yes, yes i was and it was delicious!! :laugh: :laugh:

that's a good idea to replace breakfast, because i usually never have time in the morning and end up grabbing turkey slices & cheese.

OH GOODNESS! Thanks for sharing, will definitely try to avoid these messes!!

egg foo young (w/o sauce) steamed veggies (you can get them with meat too) no sauce i like to eat them @ home with cream cheese for added fat lol shrimp or chicken chow mein --- no chips (they don't call 'em chips but they look like little tortilla chips you put on it for a garnish) I do wings sometimes, they are breaded…

do you just blend the butter in as well?

AWESOME!!! That is such a great feeling when you start seeing results! Keep it rockin! :happy:

bacon butter = magical words

Every now and again you're going to have a slip up... A cheat meal would be better than a day. Seems like we get in the mentality well "I ate Pizza & Fries so now my whole day is ruined, this ice cream won't hurt either" Sometimes you just want to treat yourself, the point is to get back to LCHF PRONTO! Don't keep stuffing…

my food diary is open to the public. i have been doing low carb going on a month now. if you're not on pinterest, definitely join LOTS of great ideas for low carb recipes!

me & pork rinds are NOT getting along well... I don't mind fresh cracklings right out the grease, but actual bagged pork rinds... ugh. I am going to try them as "nachos" that i seen on pinterest.

Ha! I did the same thing!!! :laugh: :laugh:

Thanks Dan the Man! You can and will keep on track, you got this!! I will definitely check out the videos thanks, I'm very interested about KETO & Epilepsy my mom is epileptic & diabetic I HAVE to get her into this lifestyle change.

That is awesome! Glad you're getting stronger!

I've noticed a HUGE change in my appetite as well!

Girl yessss that is awesome! I got to get a new scale, I try to stay off it! I know I am dropping inches like crazy, my clothes are fitting SO differently! I love it! Keep it up!

Thanks, I'll check out that Forum as well!

Thanks everyone! It definitely is a lifestyle change, not a diet! I will never go back to carb overload after seeing how much better I feel. I have to remember I've been eating carbs for years, and it took years to put on the weight, so it's not going to disappear overnight But the progress I & My husband have seen in my…

This is my 4th week doing LCHF I love it too! You can surely tell when you hit Keto, I have experienced the smelly urine, metal taste in mouth, and leg cramps. Just make sure you drink plenty of water, and take in more salt. there are tons of blogs and sites to give good tips.

Haha! I agree I am in love with cream cheese!

I'm a newbie to LCHF I've been strict for 2 weeks now. I do count my calories. I try to stay @ 1400 a day.

Brilliant!! IDK why I didn't think of this! I've been doing Avocados. The leg cramps are my worse side effect.

I've been doing the LCHF strict for about 2 weeks now. My Period actually started early this time, even with me being on birth control.

I have been doing it for about the same amount of time as you. I've done a lot of research, and thought I would drop a big amount at first from water weight too, but each person is different, and like the other said it depends on how much you have to lose. I've started dropping inches, over lbs. I can tell a difference in…
