I did somewhat low carb during mine, had a little sickness but not too much. During my pregnancy I would lose weight due to my LCHF diet which worried the Drs so they sent me to see a nutritionist. I kept my carbs around 100ish after that, no where near the keto range. I still remember my one piece of toast I'd get at the…

Oh and you can add me as a friend if you want, my diary is open!

You've already gotten great advice already! Let's take baby steps here. Stop eating bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. Let me make ordering out a little easier for you. Jimmy Johns does their sandwich as an "Unwich" - basically all the fillings of a sub wrapped in a few big romaine leaves. You can make these at home too,…

I was actually reported for posting my IG account on these forums, so if you want to check out my meals you can add me as a friend or find my IG acct on my profile. I share my IG diary on my status and log at least once a day on there :) It's a weird choice by MFP because I have no other way of posting pictures on this…

My fats come from: Avocados, all sorts of cheeses (cheddar, goat, feta, marble, pepper jack), sausages, pepperoni, fatty steaks, olive oil, butter, nuts, dark chocolate.. loads of sources :)

And don't forget olive oil! Drizzle it on broccoli and roast on 350 with some salt and garlic. Heaven!!

This article has some good suggestions, pumpkin seeds and spinach are keto/LCHF friendly: http://naturalsociety.com/16-magnesium-deficiency-symptoms-signs-low-levels/

You can get potassium in an avocado, would he eat a whole avo a day? You could make guac and have celery and guac as a snack. Magnesium I'm not sure, I am worried I'm not getting enough of that too. What are the signs?

Ahh I feel ya I miss having ice cream, although it doesn't taste as good as it used to now. I ate Arctic Zero ice cream and it was so bad it completely turned me off from trying any other low carb ones, LOL. In my opinion it was very freezer burnt and I guess it's supposed to look and taste that way. I agree that hash…

Oh and CONGRATS to him!

That's great news, keep us updated! I hope he gets into a Dr soon so he can get a baseline of his results. Otherwise it will be hard to see all of the positive things happening on the inside as his gut health improves and his blood pressure drops :)

Goat cheese is everything. I made a spinach salad with goat cheese, toasted walnuts with a little cinnamon and added them to the salad. It was SO GOOD! I got the idea from a whole foods salad I bought and loved, lol.

Blood pudding. It sounds gross but all fried up it's delicious, high in iron and very good for you. Some recipes are much better than others. Maple leaf used to make it and it was the only kind I'd buy but they stopped making it. Now I get mine from Bavarian Meats which is almost identical to Maple Leafs recipe.

I think I added you but anyone else feel free to add me as well and share diaries!

Heavy whipping cream every day, 90% chocolate, habanero BBQ almonds, goat cheese, marble cheese, sharp cheddar. Ribeye steaks and bacon wrapped chicken. I used to eat an avocado every day until I couldn't stomach eating another, but I could do guac! I struggle getting enough protein. Sometimes I just don't want to cook at…

Congrats @PaleoInScotland !

This could be a fun game actually - ketofy my recipe :)

Hi, Net carbs mean the total amount of carbs that are going to stay with you and be absorbed by the body. Fiber doesn't stay with you, that comes out with your stool (I know, probably TMI) so what's left is net. Sugar alcohols also do not count. Example: If an avocado has 13g of total carbs and 10g of fiber, you subtract…

Hello! Start by plugging in your numbers into a keto calculator like this one: http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ This tool should help you with knowing how many carbs, protein and fat you should be getting. Don't be afraid of fat - our bodies need it to run and stay full :) For myself I stay between 20 - 50g of NET carbs.…

It seems keto friendly other than the flour, milk and onion. Replace with almond flour, almond milk and nix the onion. Or like others said, make the "oopsie rolls" recipe for the bread part which is cream cheese and eggs IIRC.

This is really interesting, I didn't know lifting weights did that much.. can it increase your boob size or will it just make them look better?

I re-watched supersize me over the weekend and he talked about having massive cravings after eating all the Mc Donalds, so yeah sugar/carb cravings are real and a big deal for any naysayers out there. I am a pre-diabetic and sugar has a huge impact on me. If others don't have these cravings it doesn't mean yours aren't…

What would be some good spine exercises? I want to do this challenge today since I missed out yesterday!

I am on a low carb diet so my drawer is packed with sugar free candy, different flavors of almonds (smokehouse, salt and vinegar and habanero BBQ) and different flavors of tea. I really like my orange spice tea! At home I have a snack drawer too for when hubby eats in bed & watches TV. I am bad for snacking off his plate…

Halifax born, live and work in Seattle now :) I miss my Timmies trips with my friends and very much miss my province. Feel free to add me!

Hey 2.5 mins is longer than I can run right now and I'm 31. Big congrats to you! Embrace all your NSVs!

While you're waiting to see a Dr this might be a question for Reddit /r/xxketo. It's a womens forum who are following Keto and they answer a lot of these types of questions.

For foods in the UK that you plug in, continue to count your carbs as normal. If you're logging veggies that have fiber counted in them, look for broccoli entries that say "net carbs", that way you're not counting fiber in with it.

NSVs - I didn't get to go to the mall this week, but last weekend I realized I was fitting back into 1X sizes again. Early 2015 I was buying 3-4X. I'm going to try to get back to the mall today to see if I'm doing any better now :) Last week I also walked around lunch time 4 out of 5 work days because it was SO nice out. I…

I have sugar free whethers and some sugar free Russell stover candies but I don't have a whole serving. I'll have one of each kind to mix it up throughout the day. I also love all the almond flavors of right now, salt and vinegar and habanero BBQ.
