TOM hunger?
Today is day one of my TOM, and I am absolutely starving, despite eating plenty of calories. I'm going to have some coconut oil in my dessert tonight in fact, just to stave off the hunger. Anyone else experience this?

When to focus in on exercise in addition to diet?
I'm about 20 pounds from my goal weight, when would I start adding in more exercise? I'm currently very active day to day, but don't do much for planned workouts, particularly with regard to strength. I've seen people say not until the last 10 lbs, and I've seen the last 50 lbs. Should I hold off, or is now a good time?…

keto garden?
I live on a ranch. We have a huge garden each year and produce our own dairy and eggs much of the year. I'm wondering if anyone else does the same, and if so what have you found a keto friendly garden to look like? I'm assuming tomatoes are out... any veggies you've found keto friendly and easy to grow?

Exercise causes water retention?
I recently started exercising, mainly fitness blender videos that focus on toning. I walk for my cardio a couple times a week. As soon as I added in the toning videos my weight went up almost 4 pounds! My clothes are still looser than before I lost, but I feel a bit bloated. Does anyone have experience with this? Is there…

What's everyone's favorite bar/shake?
I''m looking into getting some bars or shakes that are low carb for quick snacks and as part of a lunch on the go. So far I've tried quest and a flavor of atkins bars. Both were good, but not terribly filling. Any suggestions?

Grrrr EMS people! (rant)
So I passed out today in biology, 911 was called, the whole shebang. It was ASSUMED that I fainted from LOW BLOOD SUGAR! I wear a medical ID saying I'm prone to fainting from low blood PRESSURE, so what do they do? Insist that I eat peanut m&ms, and not just a few, a package. An entire single serve package, the kind with…

HWC & Starbucks question
So, I'm near my carb limit for the day (that apple was worth it), but no where near my cal limit/goal. How would I calculate the calories in say, a SF caramel latte made with heavy whipping cream? It's not an option on their site, sadly. I know it'd be an obscene amount, but I have over 1000 cals left for the day.

Too few carbs?
I've been doing some reading, and apparently under 50 grams puts most people in ketosis. I'm on 25 grams and I'm wondering if that's too low? I'm 18, female, 5' 2" and pretty active. I like that I'm losing 2 lbs a week, roughly. But is there such a thing as too few carbs?

BPC went all over sweatshirt, stain removal?
So I was stupid and running late so I tried to blend 16 oz of bpc at once. Even holding down the top of my blender it popped off and my favorite sweatshirt now has bpc all down the front. How do you guys get out bpc stains? I didn't have time to toss it in the washer, stains will be dry when I get home. Also any tips for…

Not eating nearly enough calories
So it's after 5, I'm not at all hungry, but I have over 800 cals left. This is beginning to become an everyday thing and it's worrying me and the family. I do know that I'm going to have a nice cup of BPC later tonight while the fam eats cake (too sweet and made me throw up when i nibbled). What are some easy ways to up my…

Equipment for small spaces?
I've been walking/jogging, swimming, and dancing for awhile now. I feel like these are great things to keep going with, however I'm wondering what equipment I might add in the use of to have more options for indoor's workouts. I live in a freakishly tiny house, like 1200 sqft tiny. I don't have room for a traditional…

cheapest place for hwc/other ingredients?
My mom is super supportive of this diet choice for me, turns out she was keto when she was my age too. However, hwc is nearly triple the price of half and half and the full fat version of sour cream, cream cheese, shredded cheese and fattier cuts of meat follow roughly the same trend. She has obvious objections to this.…

any ideas for wakefullness snacks?
Ok, so pre keto I always had something carby before evening activities like night class, club meeting, movie night etc. What would you recommend for a light, quick energy snack? Beef jerky is expensive and the flavored types have too many carbs. :( I also basically have a caffeine iv drip, so more coffee isn't the answer :p

Yogurt has so freaking many carbs, wth????
So everything I've read about keto has a gazillion stars next to full fat dairy products.....but yoplait original has 33(!)g of carbs. I love yogurt, but that is over my preferred daily limit. What brand are you guys getting that has fat and maybe some protein, but nto so darned many carbs?

Non-scale victory!
My size 8 jeans fit again like they used to! I'm so freaking happy I can't describe it. But the scale hasn't moved, so I'm confused as to how they fit again. Ladies, have you ever had your thighs shrink from water loss?

College and keto questions
Is there anyone here who is doing both? What do you find is best at your cafeteria? My school doesn't have nutrition info available. :( Pretty sure that's illegal, but not gonna pick a fight with my food source. Obviously it's not an option to eat breaded chicken, granola bars, sodas (except a diet orange once in a…

Friends?

Hi guys! New here
I've been trying to lose weight for a long time, and when I was younger the only thing that worked was a low carb and low fat diet. But I was miserable. I've been doing the keto-ing for the past 2 days, and I've already seen my bloat go down to almost unnoticeable levels. I think I'll be sticking to this for the…

Adding fat without adding carbs?
I need some easy ways to add fat without adding carbs. I thought of milk, but that doesn't seem to be a viable option. Thoughts, recipes? I use protein drinks for on the go meals, so not much fat there. I love cheese, but I can't just blindly eat it.

Injury question
At what point is an injury serious enough to completely stop the program? I just did week one day one this morning, then while running for the bus at school I fell and f-ed up my ankle. Pretty swollen. If the swelling goes down by friday, should I try day 2?

C25K week one day one just kicked my sorry ***
So I've heard lots about C25K on here and out in the real world, always figured it wasn't for me because I have no interest in running competitively. My lab partner suggested I give it a try because I was having issues with forming a structured workout/getting in my 3 per week. Good golly was this harder than I expected, I…

Loss of hunger on second day?
Is it normal to lose my appetite on the second day of a low carb diet? I was way low on calories yesterday, but literally could not force myself to eat one more thing. I was also nauseated and had a migraine in the evening. Could I actually be entering ketosis this quickly? As someone who has always struggled with over…

Tips for easing in?
Ok, here's the super brief weight loss bio: lost 12 pounds, gained five back during finals (five weeks ago), lost two of those pounds as of a couple days ago. When I was younger(think 12-13) I used a 'low carb' diet to achieve weight loss. I only cut out the obvious sources at that time and it worked. Now that I'm able to…

What does mfp mean im supposed to burn over 1900 calories a day?
I recently noticed a goal generated by mfp that I don't quite understand. Apparently I'm supposed to burn something like 1900 calories per day, I'm eating between 1200-1400 right now. With a bmr of 1400 (roughly), am I supposed to work out each day to the point of burning those extra 500 or so calories? Or is it just sort…

BMI seems like a wrong/bad goal?
I'm wondering how all of you use/interpret BMI. For my height I should be between 97-128 pounds. I'm 5 feet tall and currently 154 pounds. I have a moderate-heavy muscle mass from working on my family's ranch, and genetically I know I'm predisposition-ed to higher protein needs and larger muscles than average for a woman.…

Not new to the app, but new to the community
My name is Nikki, and I've had this app for awhile. I've used it on and off, and this time I'm determined to make it stick. I've decided to join the community. I live in California's central valley on 20 acres of irrigated land filled with milk goats, horses and chickens (who lay eggs and hunt bugs). I'm also preparing…
