I seem to be holding fluid.

Keto sticks say im in ketosis. I am drinking stock bullion and adding a pinch of salt. However for the last few days I feel my rings are a bit tighter,…

I don't know if it is in my head, but did I read something on here before about having refeed carb days? and if I did what were the reason for this? would it not put you back on eating carbs all over again.

so how is your day?
I keep checking in here to read posts and stuff, ( anything) as I am restarting I am trying to stay focused. However some of the posts go over my head, so I thought a little thread with a little chit chat may help us to just talk about mundane stuff. So far ( it is only 3 pm here) my day is ok, I am trying to get more…

tell me about fitbit.
I am a gadgets person, but somehow have managed to avoid a fitbit, ( because they seem to be the thing of the moment) I used to have a step tracking device which of course gave me a wrong count if I went riding a horse, ( the up down movement of rising trot gave it the idea I was running) So how does the fit bit manage to…

Help, finding carb value.
So this is what I do, I bake a potato well in the oven until the outside is very crispy, I cut it in half and scrape out ALL the flesh, all that is left is the skin, with perhaps tiny bits of flesh stuck because I can't scrape any more off. I can't manage to find a carb count on that though. I know its carby, but the thing…

Ok I was in this group early last summer,. I had got myself to under 20 carbs a day, and was doing pretty ok. However stuff happened, two close family sudden deaths, then other things less sad, but I found it very hard to a, remain focused on cutting carbs, and b, just keep logging food, and checking in here. The result…

Hi folks.....
Hi, I decided to join your group, although I perhaps don't really qualify. I am following a low carb principal, ie I have cut out carbs to degree, while I am not extremly low carb, I find just cutting out the processed ones helps me with weight loss. I don't have the will power to give up alot of the fruits and veg that…
