Yes, I'm not sure how or what folks are entering information from when they enter it into MFP but there's a lot of discrepancy.

That's how I set my goals in MFP as well. It doesn't calculate NET Carbs, but you can always scroll to see the nutrition information for the day. Hopefully, there will be enough Keto talk on here to merit they adjust for us doing Ketogenic plans as well.

That I don't know. But here's what I found when I searched. http://nobunplease.com/alcohol-on-a-low-carb-keto-diet/

That fast ended Saturday. I didn't make several days...only 3. I'm fasting again today. We'll see for how long. lol

protein can also increase your glucose which will keep you from getting into ketosis. You may try Intermitten Fasting (IF). Trying to only eat between 6-8 hours a day. Maybe noon to 6pm. You can get all your same meals in that time frame but only between those hours, watch your protein and limit the spirits and see what…

I don't have one -- however, I searched All Recipes for Almond Meal recipes and it says there are 180 recipes using almond meal. Try this link: http://allrecipes.com/recipes/17607/ingredients/flours/almond-meal/?internalSource=hubcard&referringContentType=search%20results&clickId=cardslot%201

There are zero and low carb wines you can buy online. If that helps. ;-)

How much protein are you eating? too much protein releases glucose which will keep you from going into ketosis as well. Are you getting enough fat in your diet? Post a sample of a daily diary and let's see if we can help you.

Hi Tilly, I'm fasting now. I'm hoping to go several days...we'll see. lol I don't give up my coffee...so, I have my coffee bulletproof style meaning I don't buy their coffee but I do add the MCT oil, butter, etc to it. I also drink flavored water (but I've cut down on the flavoring) and bouillon cubes once during a fast…

I bought the Xtra Precision ketone meter which also does glucose. Ketone blood strips are expensive ($4-5 each) but the more you buy the cheaper they are. Glucose strips aren't bad. About $45 for 100 strips. I'll post links here for all of what I use: Ketone strips:…

From what I read from Jimmy Moore, Dave Asprey, etc, I think that's something you would need to experiment with to find out what your body likes because everyone is different.

your carb number or your ketone level? From what I'm doing is Ketogenic - so low carb, med protein and high fat. My nutritional goals are: Carbs 5% (about 20g), Protein 20 % and Fat 75%. Does that answer your question?

Staci, that's great to know. I have to say, this is the easiest diet I've done. I never would have believe I could go for 4 days without eating a bite! It takes away so many cravings and you just don't get hungry. I've read recently about a "fasting mimicking diet", which sounds like what you are actually doing. On days…

Good morning and welcome to the group!

Great questions! I haven't had a cheat meal yet. Well, this go around. When I "cheated" to celebrate my mom's birthday, it totally threw me off track and I struggled greatly to get myself back on track. Which wasn't body related but all my mind. I'm interested to see what responses you get.

Here is another great video from Jimmy Moore. Great story of triumph and knowledge of Keto. Author of Keto Clarity, Cholesterol Clarity https://youtu.be/sXbV0gxRfPo

There are many folks you can search to learn from. Some of my favorites are: Dr. Jason Fung - the Obesity Code & Complete Guide to Fasting (Fasting to cure Type-2 Diabetes) Josh Axe Thomas Seyfriend PhD- Cancer as a Metabolic Disease (fasting to prevent and treat cancer) Dominic D'Agostino - Researcher Using Ketogenic Diet…

I use Walden Farms products. I just ordered Honey BBQ and now they have coffee creamer! Not sure about that because I'm sure it's fat free, carb free (which is great), sugar free, etc...but we need the fat!! I'll stick with heavy cream but the ketchup, dressings and sauces are nice options.

True. I'm fasting today but plan to make this soon. It sounds so yummy!

Florence Y'all Kentucky!

Me too. I'm actually fasting today. Will I fast again tomorrow? I dunno. I take this day by day. I know I feel better and feel more in control doing what I'm doing now. My ketones were at 1.2 last night. So I'm burning fat even without fasting. IF (Intermittent fasting for those that don't know) is pretty easy. Hoping to…
