Just a coincidence?
i had been at a stall for over 3 weeks that started just as I joined the August active challenge. It seemed like the exercise was the culprit at first. Then I thought maybe I wasn't eating enough consistently. Then a couple of days ago, I noticed my total carbs had crept up. Not too high for Keto, but higher than I had…

Apparently low carb causes DKA for T1D's
So I went with my T1D daughter to her new diabetes nurse today and we liked her very well except that when discussing why using an insulin pump was difficult for my daughter, because she has a high insulin to carb ratio and can easily use 100+ units a day, therefore the pump had to be changed quite often, I mentioned that…

Editing a found food entry
I took my son to Taco Bell for lunch and decided to get the steak cantina bowl for myself. I wasn't even thinking and didn't order it without rice and beans, but I just picked out all the lettuce and steak and was able to get most of the salsa, guac and sour cream without the rice or beans. So then I searched MFP for a no…

Blood ketones at 1.1 after higher carb lunch? Or maybe it wasn't so high carb after all?

They all had brown sauces on them that tasted sweet to me. So I decided to allow…

I'm well on my way to being skinny fat. Yay.
So I bought a fancy new scale that measures skeletal muscle and body fat along with other stuff. I know, I know, these things aren't accurate. But, they are at least close and I'm ok with that. Even if it's just close, I can still see and track the changes as I progress. I'm ok if it's off a bit. And actually, I'm not sure…

How to figure out calories burned?
so, today I couldn't get any exercise in due to being away from home, running errands for my dad and it's storming, but I spent 3 hours painting my dads kitchen. I was trying to figure out how to count that activity and Map My Fitness, under "light housework" or "other housework" estimated about 660 calories burned. I'm…

Anyone else doing ketogenic eating?
Since my daughter was diagnosed Type 1 diabetic a few years ago, I have learned a lot about how the body metabolizes different types of energy. It was eye opening! I had no idea how terribly I misunderstood it all. I have been reading about Keto diet lifestyle for months and decided that if I could kick my candy habit for…
