Sorry I haven't been around
I took a month off from the group but still continued my keto journey. My daughter recently pointed out my weight loss. I hadn't realized how dramatic it was. So I wanted to share a picture. First is Oct 2014 and second is Nov 2015. Hope everyone has had a great month or two.

Breakfast meat alternatives?
I have been trying to find a good breakfast meat I like and I keep coming up short. Call me crazy, which I know you all will, but I'm not a bacon fan. It is also too salty for me. I am at an age where I am always retaining water especially in my ankles so I do have to watch my sodium intake. I've done sausage often but…

When you realize how dependent society is on sugars
I spent this weekend with some family. Yesterday the 6 of us, all adults between 45-55, piled into the truck to head to the beach. We made a pit stop at a gas station. Everyone piled out of the truck. Except for me. I had made breakfast. Well I offered it. I cooked up for sausage but everyone said they didn't want…

Protein #'s?
I have a question for you all. When I started my keto journey 2 months ago I read all I could and most webpages gave the same or similar numbers. Follow the macros. 70% fat, 25% protein and 5% carbs. For my weight and activity level this puts me at about 65 grams of protein a day. I kept hearing about how too much protein…

Just a thank you for being a great support group.

Everyone is so supportive and encouraging and understanding. I have started following other Keto groups on Facebook or blogs on pintrest to find recipes. Recently I came…

Peanut butter/Almond butter
The past couple days I have had a bad craving for peanut butter. Which is kinda odd because I never really ate it much before. Maybe I am just craving something slightly sweet. But I don't think that is it. Does anyone recommend a low carb option for peanut or almond butter? I considered getting the walden farms brand but…

Sugar alcohols?
I am relatively new to the LCHF diet and I came across a term that I've heard before but I don't know much about. Sugar alcohols. On a box of Atkins food bars it says to subtract sugar alcohols and fiber from carbs to get to net carbs. I don't know if I understand what this is or what it does. Just the sound of it makes me…

Keto diet
i just started on my keto diet about a month ago. I started using MFP and it helps a lot. I am constantly looking foods up. Some surprise me on the carb content. Anyone who wants to friend me is welcome. Not sure where the journey will take me but I've been trying to lose weight for a year and all I have seemed to be able…

Sodium
I just started on a Keto plan recently. I have been doing a lot of reading up on it. Most of what I read says you need a lot of sodium. My questions is how much is too much? Does anyone track their sodium intake and if so where do you try to stay? I've had a good couple weeks but just started some water weight gain and I'm…
