I had a similar experience the other night. I was relieved when I woke up that I didn't really eat all that bad food!

Thanks for that information. I really do feel that as much as I research about this diet, there are always new things to learn. Something else I wanted to mention that's relevant to the discussion above regarding protein vs. fat was something I read in the reddit keto FAQ "Is more protein than fat OK? One of the importance…

I weigh at the same time every day on my Wii and only update my fitness pal when I drop below my lowest recorded weight. There have been times in the past few months where I would hover up to 3 or 4 pounds above my lowest for even a couple weeks and I still lost every month. I know I'm staying under and that I'm exercising…

I thought Ketosis was a thing that you are either "in" or "not in" and that there are not varying degrees of it. It was also my understanding that the reason that the Keto sticks range in darkness of purple has to do with your hydration level or other factors and also that other factors can affect the accuracy which is why…

Good information above. Also, no matter what kind of diet you are on, make sure you are getting enough potassium. I take a potassium supplement daily. Also, the documentary Fathead has a lot of interesting information regarding this issue. Here's a clip relevant to your question. http://youtu.be/v8WA5wcaHp4

I like keeping a bag of frozen spinach in the fridge. It's a great filler for things like meatballs, meat-loafs, casseroles, Italian sauces, cream cheese, broths, etc. As mentioned above, I also keep a bag of fresh shredded cabbage in my fridge which I often make into a fresh coleslaw (using a small amount of granulated…

Great suggestions. Thanks so much. They actually called my SO tonight and mentioned that they will also be making spaghetti squash (they know about our diet and have talked with us about it a lot last time they visited)! This is very thoughtful of them! It's great to have supportive family. I still want to bring something…

Low carbohydrate eating has changed my life. Even before I lost this much weight I noticed immediate improvements in my health and energy levels. One immediate change I noticed was that my SO and I used to suffer from heartburn and once we changed to a low carbohydrate diet that problem just stopped completely. I sleep…

Reddit has a subreddit http://www.reddit.com/r/ketorecipes which is is a great resource Also, search on pinterest for "Keto" or "Low Carb" and many of those link to good recipes and ideas.

Wow! I've heard them advertising the new "power" salad on Pandora, but I had no clue they had a whole low carb menu that includes awesome looking breakfast options. I was not a fan of Panera because everything seemed so carby, but this definitely makes me want to give them another look. Thanks for sharing!

I was actually thinking about how I need some fellow MFP friends that do low carb. so please feel free to add me if you want. I have an open diary and when I'm being good I follow a ketogenic diet . Just don't judge me for my cheesy bread yesterday (I do allow myself a carby treat every once in a while). =)

I'll just copy what I said on another board when someone asked this question (adding some new ideas too). string cheese or cheese cubes celery with ranch or full fat sour cream dip almonds or peanuts or pecans (these are high calorie so make sure to measure out the serving size exactly) full fat ricotta cheese spoonful of…

Yes. I lost 5.8 pounds. I ate lots of naughty food, but I logged everything and I believe that helped me from going too far off course.

I usually take 3 supplements daily - Natural Potassium Gluconate 99 mg, Complete Multivitamin & All Natural Regular Strength Fish Oil 1000 Mg. I have in the past added in some Emergen-C ® Five Calorie and very rarely Equate sugar free clear fiber powder. My partner cycles a creatine supplement when we are lifting weights…

Both me and my partner no longer suffer from heartburn when we follow our regular low carb. diet. Before we changed to a low carb. diet we both suffered from heartburn on a pretty much daily basis. The only time we ever get heartburn now is on rare occasions when we go off diet and have higher carb. food.

I do low carb. also. On the weekdays I eat breakfast at work and I do not cook anything. I bring it from home. These are the type of things I eat for breakfast. string cheese celery with dip peanuts almonds full fat ricotta cheese spoonful of peanut butter I'll usually have one or two of the above and then I pair it with…

Oh yeah, I was going to order online since it seems like there is a wider/more affordable selection, so I never had the try before buying possibility in mind, but I could definitely head to a sporting goods store or something and try out the machines even if I don't end up buying one from there. Maybe I'll get lucky and…

Watch this Instructional Bench Press Video from Jennifer Thompson Bench Press 101 http://youtu.be/34XRmd3a8_0 Also, look up instructional videos for every weightlifting exercise you do if you do not have an experienced person guiding you (or even if you do) to help avoid injury. I just mentioned that video specifically…

Foomsy, I also want to add that the reason we don't count carbs from fiber in the net carb count is because our bodies do not absorb it.

Wow! I bet it feel so awesome to not only be out of plus size, but to be a Medium! Congratulations!

Fabulous! It's amazing how much power individuals have to truly transform themselves.

Thanks for all the supportive replies everyone! If anyone wants to be friends on here send me a request. Tomorrow I'm going to get back to tracking all of my food/exercise again. I'm feeling pretty good about it! Another thing that I forgot to mention is that my job is going to start scheduling me for the occasional 14…
