Electrolytes
So I finished Abel's book "Wild Diet". Good stuff. I don't remember him discussing electrolytes except to briefly say to drink bone broth. It looks like quite a production to make, and I wonder how I could supplement in another way. I drink bullion when I feel off. Does anyone in here get enough sodium, magnesium and…

Starting over, a bit scared of issues that happened last time
I am back after 4mos off. My mom ended up in the ICU on a ventilator in May- and since then, my eating is out of control. I was having trouble on my LCHF lifestyle around March and April. I stopped sleeping- even ambien did not work, lost a lot of hair, and still have dry brittle nails. I became seriously irritable (not…

Eating a "well formulated" ketogenic diet
I keep reading ( The Art and Science of a Low Carbohydrate Living - Phinney and Volek) and watching youtube videos (low carb down under, Jimmy Moore etc.) on how people do well on a "well formulated" keto diet, but do not see anywhere where it says what foods would form a well formulated ketogenic diet. I know what not to…

Tummy aches and yogurt
So ,I keep having an upset, kinda crampy stomach (with frequent trips to the bathroom), and I think maybe my gut bacteria is not happy. I have heard (don't remember where) that whole fat, unsweetened greek yogurt is OK on keto, but the label shows a lot of sugar. Anyone have a link that I can read or video even, that…

Cholesterol in the news! About time!
So who watched world news last night and heard them say that dietary cholesterol has not been proven to cause atherosclerosis? I was jumping up and down- so glad that mainstream news is getting the word out that we need to eat less sugar!

Successful "No thank-yous"
So, I went to a birthday party yesterday and survived! Said no to cookies, crackers ,chips, lasagna, salad with a sweet dressing, and cake and ice cream. Had a cheese stick and big glass of water before I got there. I really didn't feel deprived- more a feeling of boredom. I guess eating junk has its own entertainment…

Fixed my wt. loss stall- thanks to your support!!
Hi, So I just want to thank those of you that answer my questions. I was stalled (or should I say "snailed" ) for about two weeks, until I upped my fats and paid much more attention to my carbs- and viola! Down two lb from last week! Didn't really do a fast so much as increased my fats while staying near 1500cal/day goal.…

Weight loss stall- go higher fat or go on an intermittent fast?
The last two weeks I have had a bit of a stall. I have not cheated the "low carb" way, but may have gone a bit above 20-25g/day of carbs. I am not familiar in how to use either of these techniques to get back on track, and I do not have ketostix (and would prefer fixing this without their use). Please share your knowledge…

exercise adds calories than I can eat back- don't want
Sorry to bother you all but in searching the FAQs I can't find how to fix this. Fitbit suddenly started affecting my food diary. I don't want my calories burned affecting my calorie intake goals. I tried diary settings but see no option.

ketosis and insomnia
I asked in another forum but looking for any reasons why my sleep is horrible. Either can't fall asleep or stay asleep. Slept better but not perfect, after making sure my magnesium, sodium and potassium were covered last night but not feeling rested. Hellllllp! Getting exhausted but want to stick to the diet.

Fat/Protein ratio, and calories
So, in the past my weight loss has stalled and I did not know enough to figure out why. With the new science (beyond Atkins) I see the statement of" fat/protein". So protein should be 1g/kg of body weight? And how many grams of fat per day is the goal? I am trying to stay under 20g carb/day and 1200-1500 calories / day.…

Just tell me what to eat!
Hey, so I am looking for some meal plans. Please feel free to blast me with ideas for meals and snacks that add up to 20g of carbs/day. It has been 8yrs since I did Atkins and I know there has to be new science out there that I know nothing about. I just know that the first two days suck, then the first two weeks are a bit…
