Rate of weight loss on keto
For those of you who have already been losing or lost a significant amount of weight (50+ lbs) on keto, what was your average loss per week/month? Mine definitely seems to be faster than when I was just calorie counting. I'm wondering how much of a slow down I might anticipate in the future.

Owner deactivated
I was wondering why the owner of the group didn't post the weekly weigh in last week and I just checked her profile and seems she deactivated it. But I really want this group to keep going! I hope enough people will stick around here or else someone else should open a similar group...But we can keep this one for two more…

Savory Fat Bombs?
I'm trying to stay away from the artificial sweeteners and right now I don't have any coconut products, but sometimes I have trouble getting my fat percentage up there enough so I wanted to possibly try making some fat bombs. I have cream cheese, olive oil, and butter. I was thinking about maybe making something with the…

Almonds
I love almonds. I have been eating them every day at least once a day. I was thinking that there must be some really good recipes out there for making your own roasted almonds with different flavorings. Anyone got any?

Mom always scolded me for using too much mayo, cheese, butter, sour cream......
Etc, etc. I was just thinking about this and thought it would be a funny thread. Growing up I remember hearing over and over "Stop using so much mayo on your sandwiches!" The bread was the problem. "Stop using so much butter on your mashed potatoes!" The potatoes were the problem. "Stop using so much sour cream and cheese…

Starting Regular Exercise- Add more protein?
I have my macros set at 75/20/5. If I start moderate exercise like 3 x a week do you think I need to add more protein or just make sure I get the full 20% on days I work out?

Intense morning hunger
I seem to wake up some days and after I use the bathroom I start getting these hunger pangs that are almost nauseating and make me even gag. It's good compared to the horrible heavy bloated feeling I used to have every morning, actually knowing that my stomach is empty when I start the day and that my body isn't still…

Claims about carbs
I saw a link to this article on Facebook and these claims seem very bold and adamant about ketosis being unnatural and very dangerous (and another claim is boring but I highly disagree with that one). Basically saying that it prevents you from "properly" burning fat, that you will have so little energy that you will always…

Fasting
There may have been a topic about this before, but does anyone do any kind of regular fasting, intermittent or otherwise? What have you done? What were the results? I just read this article http://inspiyr.com/diet-or-exercise/ and I'm curious if anyone has actually gotten better results from doing any kind of fasting.

Why is there so much confusion over nutrition and fitness?
This article perfectly describes why not to trust media and the government or even most doctors to tell you what's good for you! I choose keto because I have read dozens of comments and posts about how it works, how people's health and mood and weight have all improved. All these testimonials, all these results with…

How to make certain veggies taste better?
Since starting keto, I have tried a couple of veggies as sides that in the past I have not liked eating by themselves (broccoli and Brussels sprouts). When I made the Brussels sprouts I pan cooked them from frozen, rinsed, cut in half with olive oil and butter and used salt, pepper, and a little garlic salt, but I don't…

This is what 9 days of keto does to a fat wheat belly
I have been on keto for a total of days and in the beginning I didn't have a scale so I estimated that I was at around 265 but now I am sure I was closer to 275. All ny clothes were tight and my belly was so big I worried that some of my shirts were too small to keep it all covered. Embarassing! I was binging on ice cream,…

Food Prep
How often do you guys do food prep and what do you usually do? I'm trying to think of ways I can prepare and pre-package and maybe freeze some meats and veggies and even whole meals to make things easier.

Starting Keto Today
Hey all! I decided to join this group since the general forums seem to be a bit hostile towards low carbers (don't get why really...just cuz they don't wanna cut carbs doesn't mean no one can do it, but to each other own). I am doing a keto type diet. I set up my macros as follows using a keto calculator I found online:…
