? For those that run/jog
I went for a walk on Easter and because it was getting dark I jogged part of the way to get done faster. I found that physically my body felt great and had energy to keep going, but I get this uncomfortable feeling under my tongue and a lot of saliva produced. I've always had this happen when I jog and I hate it. Am I…

I just made these and they turned out really well. Super easy to make too, next time I'll make them as bites. http://www.mytootiefoodie.com/magic-low-carb-soft-pretzels/

Everything in moderation
Apparently that saying means more than half your caloric intake from carbs? Sometimes even more. That doesn't sound to me like a moderate amount if I'm getting more than half my intake from it. It's also commonly said to fit things like cookies and wine, but I never hear it used to include fats or even protein for that…

Wacky things to earn extra calories
I wear a fitbit every day and it adds calories to my tracker based on how active I am. Most days I'm under for calories for the day, some days I'm way over and don't really care how many extra it gives. But some times I'm borderline and feel like doing a little more to give me some calories in the bank lol I've found that…

How long can you plank for?
I'm here trying to do things that won't aggravate my back. I have lots of energy but can't do much yet. It's cold here in the winter, I want to use this time of little sunlight and snowy days stuck inside to get strong and toned for the summer. So my new thing is going to be planking. I thought 2 minutes sounded doable.…

No wonder so many of us are sick and overweight
I used to see things like this and think "what a cool idea" now I think "wow that actually looks like poison, why are we not cooking with oil and eggs?" Instead we are substituting soda pop! It's insane.

Free bone broth
Just wanted to share, saw this on fb today. I didn't order because I don't like broth. But their site also seems to have some decent pricing on items I use. https://thrivemarket.com/giftbox/bonebrothfb?utm_source=FacebookP&utm_medium=paidsocial&utm_campaign=bonebrothpurchLAL&utm_content=giftbox_bonebroth

Transformation Tuesday *round 2
I know there was another thread for this last year, but I've searched through 40 pages of old threads and can't find it :( So I'm starting a new one! I hate to toot my own horn, it kind of makes me feel uncomfortable, weird I know. I was feeling a little down on Monday because I weighed in up 14 lbs from where I was last…

Low carb flavorings
I stumbled on these after a quick Google search for apple cinnamon flavor. They have a million different flavors. I have not tried them yet nor have I looked at any reviews to see if they are any good. But lord they sound good. And the FAQ specifically lists they are appropriate for low carb ketogenic diets…

Perfection on a plate!
This morning I was getting ready for an all day laundry festival and was feeling kinda tired. I had a revelation when I started thinking about what to eat, instead of my mind saying "hey this sounds yummy" it said "what's going to provide you the energy you need to get this done" My thoughts weren't about the actual food…

Hair loss ?
I feel I am losing hair on the top of my scalp. Has anyone else had this issue. I have always had really thick hair so I know something is going on. I can feel I got sunburned on my scalp which has never happened before. I'm really freaking out right now. Could it be diet related or because the thyroid medication? What can…

Do I really need 6000 mg of sodium?
Apparently....I have no clue what is going on. I've posted recently about sodium not seeming to help and getting brain fog after eating lunch and then going for my lunch walk. I'm not new to keto this isn't my first time at it either, I know I'm not an expert either. But when I get fog I take extra salt using the ketoaid…

Extreme Weightloss (show)
I can't even describe enough how much this show is irritating me right now. Does anyone else watch this? It's completely sensationalized and nauseates me to see what they are doing to these people. (i realize they are compensated in some form and have agreed to this nonsense) First off turning someones living room into a…

New things you've discovered recently
I've seen a similar thread to this on other forums with lots of cool stuff. Today I discovered that I raw a raw milk dairy farm only 20 minutes from me. I was at the health food store and got a bottle of cream to try, it's not raw, you can only get that at the farm, along with some other great sounding stuff, gonna have to…

Why am I not losing....Wednesday?
I've been back at keto for at least a few weeks now. I was starting the year back in low carb after a wacky end of the year. I ended up dropping lower on carbs than I had planned and found myself struggling with near every single keto side effect that exists. I've upped my supplements, added mct oil (which only caused more…

TMI warning. Stool changes
I guess I'm going to have every keto possible side effect that had ever been reported this time around. The past few days when I use the rest room my bowel movements are like water, as if I had a stomach bug or something. However I do not feel sick also I have no discomfort in my abdomen like I normally would if I had a…

When sodium doesn't work
I don't know what I'm doing lately, I've been at this for almost a year. I want to be low carb but try to avoid and side effects of keto by staying higher on carbs. Well that didn't work and I know I'm slipping into keto. Yesterday was rough, that's when I realized I had been lower on carbs for a good week and explained…

Are you a Carrot, Egg, or Coffee Bean?
My boss shared this with me today. Of course before I read it, I said I was a coffee bean, based on my fondness of BPC. I felt my choice did hold true, though there's a little bit of egg going on there too :) Wanted to share it with you all, in case you hadn't seen if before.…

Any other ladies LC and TTC?
Just a shot in the dark here. I'm on some TTC boards but I've literally found 0 people to discuss how LC can affect the process. Just kinda hoping to find others to discuss it with. Some of you wonderful ladies have already messaged me privately about it with some truly helpful tips. Thank you for that. I know LC can be…

Learned I have to change the way I talk about food.
Has anyone else experienced this? My family is very accommodating to different WOE, so whenever there is a get together we all double check to make sure whatever we are brining works for everyone. My sister was having a party for her son with pizza and cupcakes and what not. She asked what she should have for me, I don't…

Is anyone else terrified to exercise?
I'm at the point I'm ready to. I feel like I could really do it and feel great. I have energy back since getting back to low carb and want to build on that. My issue is I have had problems with my back in the past, nothing severe but it's been chronic. I've been treated for it and have no restrictions on exercise. What…

Science as new religion
I've been having some conversations recently that I normally don't get involved in. You know the kind where someone has there mind convinced of something because everyone "knows it to be true" because "science". I admittedly don't know all the answers, or really any of the answers. I also admit I don't read lengthy studies…
