Not eating enough?
I'm not eating a great deal at the minute, I just have no appetite. And while I was told this would happen and I am loving the freedom it gives me, I am slightly concerned about the possibility of going the other way... becoming so hungry that I fall off the wagon and have to get back on. Yet again. How likely is that? How…

Ketosis is elusive this time around...
I've been pretty strict with my carbs lately so I'm wondering why I'm not feeling that ketosis buzz. Stix are showing trace. I'm supplementing electrolytes to avoid the flu and I don't feel too bad. But I also don't feel the way I did last time I got into ketosis. Could it be that I'm just not quite there yet? Last time I…

Restless arm syndrome?
I managed to get into ketosis for a couple weeks...then kicked myself out of it with a bit of my son's birthday cake at the weekend. (I know...stoopid!! Have kicked myself many times!) Trying to get back there now. My appetite hasn't returned to its former ravenous self, thankfully. But I also don't have that feeling that…

Ketostix.....
Rightly or wrongly, I've been using them as a measure of how I'm doing. They give me an idea of where my threshold is. For the best part of a week I've been showing ++ ketones. And this afternoon I'm just about showing trace. I know a lot of people say that blood is the better way to measure but I can't afford that or the…

Could it be...?
I feel rough - I mean awful! My nose is blocked and running at the same time. I initially thought it was hayfever and took an extra antihistamine but that had no effect at all. My head is stuffy. I'm so very tired. I woke up like this this morning. Today is my third day (this time around!) of being really good and limiting…

Craving granola/muesli
Exactly as the title says.....I'm really craving the granola/muesli type cereals. I don't have them with milk. Wondering what I could substitute it with, if there is anything. Any ideas? Thanks!

Struggling...
I've been struggling (and failing) to get into ketosis for a bit now. And things are....difficult at the minute to say the least. And when things get rough, like so many others, I turn to food. Carb rich food. So I'm pretty much off the wagon right now. That's not to say that I'm going crazy and scoffing everything in…

Intermittent Fasting
Anyone do this? Does it help with weight loss? Do you literally only drink water? Can I run on a fasting day? Non consecutive days only? I know that's a lot of questions but I'd really appreciate any info :smile:

Can I cheat?!
I see you all talking about drinking chicken broth and how much it helps you guys feel better. So I was wondering...can I just use a Knorr stock cube and it work the same way? I rarely ever roast a chicken so I never make broth! Anything I should be aware of, doing it this way? Any other ideas? Thanks! :smile:

Cold all the time?
Is it normal to feel cold ll the time when aiming for keto? I'm feeling unbelievably cold and have done for a couple days now. Is it the diet or am I coming down with something?! and by the way - I love you guys - you're always bags of help so thanks in advance! :smile:

Help!
First post in this group. I intend to try again with a ketogenic diet. Only trouble is, I'm super picky with food. I don't eat eggs at all, no milk, hardly eat any red meat and I'm a little fussy with veggies! I'm just a nightmare all round really. I do love fruit though....which is unfortunate considering the amount of…

Natural Ketosis diet?
Has anyone tried this diet with this particular company? I'm seriously considering it because carbs do seem to be my downfall. I'm not that great at cooking either so having stuff delivered would help. As the program goes on, they apparently educate you etc on making it a lifestyle change rather than a diet. Link:…

God bless U.S.M.C!!
Aside from their obvious awesomeness (I know I'm a Brit, but I still know that they're hardcore amazing people) they're really good to run with! I use the "Run to Cadence With The U.S. Marines" on my phone. And the difference it makes is unbelievable. I can't stop putting one foot in front of the other out on my runs while…
