Waves of nausea after eating meat
This isn’t very fun when you’re doing Keto! I often get waves of nausea after eating meat, in particular, if it is some thing like chicken breast or a plain piece of beef steak. The other day I got it from mince (ground beef). It doesn’t seem to happen with roast meat, and the only difference I can see there is the fat…

Hi ladies and gents, I was on here under a different user name (minties? something like that) in 2015, lost a great chunk of weight, about 88lbs/40kg between Jan-July while spending most of that time doing keto.

Gestational diabetes - moderate carb AND low fat?
I am 25 weeks pregnant and just been diagnosed with GD a few days ago. The diabetes nurse called me to make an appointment but it's not until next week. In the mean time, she's just asked me to keep an eye on my eating and to have everything "low fat and moderate carb". Low fat dairy, lean meat etc. I raised my eyebrows…

The incident with the coconut oil...
I'm well used to low carb, and having the odd teaspoon of coconut oil as a filler when I don't have time for food, or I just need a fat boost. However, it had been a while since I'd had any before today. Was rushing around getting ready to walk my son to school, had a coffee and a teaspoon of oil about 7am, we were out the…
