Listen to my stomach or count calories?
I'm wondering if I'm not hungry and calorie count is still low for the day should I eat or not? Would I go into starvation mode and metabolism shut down if I don't eat enough calories?

Feeling down and disgusted, what used to be enjoyable now feels like a diet
So, it's now been about 3 months on the LCHF WOE, the first month not tracking, and since the initial weight loss of 12 lbs the first 2 weeks (water, I know) I have lost a grand total of 2 lbs. I have done zero carb, i have added carbs back in, I have upped my water, I have cut out all sweeteners, I track everything I put…

Can't change my calorie goal?
Do we actually have to pay the premium just to change our calorie goal mine is showing 2250 for some reason, and I want it to show 2000. I go to edit it but when I come back to the diary it doesn't change. I'm not paying $50 just to change my calories and macros, that's insane!

Could Stevia be causing a stall?
I'm stalling for the last month or so and just can't stand to drink plain water. I know for a fact I won't drink enough if it's not flavored at least a little. Could Stevia be causing me to stall? I use Stevia and concentrated lemon juice, I also just noticed that my Stevia drops are 11% organic alcohol! Do you think it's…

Feeling lethargic and weak
I felt great when I started lchf but a couple weeks ago I started feeling really lethargic and like my muscles were just really weak, so I started adding more carbs back in ( I was doing zero carb ) by adding green veggies but still feel just as bad.

Having a hard time getting into ketosis, any ideas why?
I bought a blood ketone reader and it is showing 0.4 and 0.7 the 2 times I've checked. I'm eating pretty close to zero carbs a day, but still struggling to get into ketosis? Not losing weight, not losing inches, and getting pretty frustrated :(

Still not losing and 27 carbs a day may be to blame
That's the number the keto calculator gave me for carbs but I think I am so metabolicly (is that a word?) challenged from 30 years of yoyo dieting that 27 may still be too high. I check my BS every morning, fasting, and it has been running over 100 so I know I'm not in ketosis plus I don't have that calm feeling I did when…

Avoid veggies to keep carbs down?
I'm actually starting to miss broccoli cauliflower and salads as I've stopped eating vegetables bc it's one of the ways I keep my carb count down, is this healthy, is it ok to have veggie carbs bc of the fiber? Should I eat them and not worry about the carb count that they add?

Already hit all my numbers and still hungry, now what?
I've already hit my calories, fat, protein, and (very low) carbs, but still have a gnawing hunger I can't seem to satisfy...I know calories count, but if I eat something else and stay on percentage how bad is it if I overeat on calories? New to all this so I'm still learning.

Wasn't losing, but now I think I know why!
Before I started LCHF I had insomnia most nights and diarrhea every single day of my life. All that changed after starting the LCHF diet, I sleep great every night and no more diarrhea! That alone is enough for me to to stick with it, but even though I haven’t lost any more weight after the first week (started a month…

One week into LCHF and I'm yo-yo ing? WTH?
So, I know I only started a week ago, but why in the world would I lose 9.5 lbs in first 5 days and gain 5 lbs back in the last 2 days? I'm starting to panic and question this diet, but hope I can stay on it because I love it! First diet that doesn't feel like a diet! BTW, I'm not logging anything in MFP, just staying…
