I lost my days! Techies please help
HI guys. 3 weeks ago I started my 100 days of keto using MFP to keep count of the days. I travelled out of the country a week ago and something happened with the date and time on my phone. So although I logged in every day somehow one day did not register and I'm back to day 1

Wine lover (or saving my carbs for wine
I love me a bold dry glass of red wine of an evening after a hard day at the jobbing place. Or six. I am definitely cutting back because I now know the carbs and calories really add up. Not to mention the agony of the next day if I over do it. Having said that, I don't think I'm prepared to completely abandon my good…

My Come to Jesus moment
In 2015 I lost 10kg through keto and daily exercise. I was even fasting intermittently. It was by no means effortless but looking back it was perfectly manageable. It was my lifestyle. Then came 2016 with a whole lot of changes. My husband and I started our own business which changed me overnight from a stay at home mum to…

I want to change my user name.
Hi all. I've noticed a couple of people here changed their user names without having to create a whole new profile. How did you do it? I think I've outgrown my current name and want to move on to a better one.

How do I get my mind right about this?
Please help. I'm going through a mental battle that's really stopped my progress and I need help to get over it. I recommited to sticking to keto basics for November and I was doing very well. That is until my best friend came to stay about 10 days ago. She was diagnosed with a particularly nasty cancer a year ago and the…

How long before I re-adapt?
I slipped down the slippery slope of Carb creep after 4 successful months on Keto. I managed to bring myself back to Keto after 2 months and 2kgs regained. I'm wondering if it will take as long to get keto adapted as it did the first time round. Is there some form of keto 'muscle memory' that I can rely on to make this a…

Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!
I've been low carb/keto since March this year and I've slowly but steadily lost almost 10kg. But something happened in August that toppled me off the wagon and I've been struggling to get back on since. I commit to eating clean every week but I never seem to go past 3 days without cheating. I've gained back 2kg and the…

Water fasting
Hi everyone Has anyone done a 72hr+ water fast? I'm on day 2 of a 3 day religious/spiritual fast but I'm still interested on any health and weight loss benefits y'all have seen. I've done 1 day fasts before but no longer than that. Any and all advice is welcome and appreciated.

No community on ipad app? ???
I've discovered that there is no community tab on the MFP ipad app. Which means I have to get my daily LCD fix on my phone. Which I hate doing. If I want to read the forums on my ipad I have to open the website, which I find is a little user unfriendly. Any techies out there who know how to fix this?

Jogging good or bad?
Hi all As part of my Just 1 June challenge I doubled my walking and saw very good results on the scale. I used to jog quite a bit back in CICO days and didn't lose much at all. I have so much energy now I would like to start jogging again but I'm scared it would hurt my losses. There is so much bad rap on the Internet…

Fantasy shopping list
The last few months have been hard for me financially so I've had to keto on a very tight budget. Lately I find myself fantasizing about all the lovely keto foods I'd like to buy when things are better. The list goes like this: Almonds T bone steak (my favourite type) Chicken thighs which I don't share Pork crackling (they…

Baaaaad day!
I've been doing so well for the past 8 weeks. Things have been pretty bad financially but I got really creative and managed to stay in the game. Until I opened the fridge this morning and found out that someone had been in my keto stash. My eggs bacon and cream that was supposed to last me the weekend were gone. I…

Stallers Unite!
I've been in a stall for the past week and a half and the frustration is mounting. I find reading everyone's stall stories such a comfort but I hate having to hunt for them through all the other posts (although I thoroughly enjoy those too! ). I was kinda hoping all you stallers and plateauers could stop by here and tell…

Up carb or fast?
I've been on keto for roughly 8 weeks and I've lost about 5kg. It's slow going but I've committed to this way of eating and I'm determined to see it through. However life seems to have other ideas where I'm not working and my hubby has not had a good project in a while (we are both free lancers). Our budget is very tight…

Starvation mode?
I'm having problems meeting my calorie goal everyday and my appetite is at an all time low. I almost have to force myself to eat. I'm seriously considering having BPC at each meal just to get something in. I've heard so much about Starvation mode and I'm afraid I'm headed in that direction. I've also heard that is a myth.…

Sleepy? ??
I have battled insomnia all my adult life. I'm usually in bed by 10 but can't stay asleep past 2am. However since I started keto six weeks ago I'm sleeping through out the night. Even if I wake up to go to the bathroom (which is often coz of all the water I'm drinking) I don't have any problems falling right back to sleep.…

Mantras
Does anyone here have a mantra to keep them on the straight and narrow? When I feel discouraged I just tell myself 'One step at a time, one meal at a time' to remind myself that I will reach my goals as long as I keep moving. Anyone else such tools?

Strep throat
Hi all. For the last couple of days I've been down with a truly evil Strep throat. I've hardly eaten anything for two days but I'm not hungry at all. Just achy all over. Does anyone know some good home remedies that won't knock me out of ketosis. Everything I've read so far involves sweets or honey. Appreciate all the help…

Why am I still hungry?
Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I have been on lowcarb diets on and off for the past 4 years. It usually takes me 3 to 5 days to get into ketosis and start experiencing a loss of appetite. However now is day 10 and I feel as though I'm STARVING. Also by now my ketostix should be showing purple or…

I need long term motivation!
Hi all. I'm a 35 year old mom of one and I have been struggling with my weight since I was a teen. I am hoping to lose 20kg this year. I'm currently on a low carb/ Leo diet and my main aim is to make it a lifestyle not just a diet. I find it difficult to stay motivated after the first week or two. Hopefully being part of…
