Wanted to comment on this
I don't post a whole lot. I'm pretty new. But I have been reading for a while. There is something so refreshing about this group that is so different then other places I've been. This world today is so full of nasty, negative, rude people, hiding behind the Internet. You can't read one story on Facebook without a litany of…

Trying something new this week
And it's.....relaxing!!! It's a new concept for myself, but I'm stressing way too much about every little thing...I know how to eat LCHF. I know when I'm full, when I'm hungry....I excercise...I drink tons of water...I'm going to try not tracking (this week) and see if that helps me not obsess so much!

Sodium
Do you all continue to get at least 5000g of sodium a day no matter how long you have been doing this? Or is it only in the beginning when you're adapting? I'm just curious. It's been a couple of months now and I haven't had the keto flu since the very beginning. But I've been taking magnesium every night and every couple…

Keto coffee (BPC)
I started drinking it the beginning of last week. And I absolutely love it. Eight weeks in now and I'm really not happy with the results, though I have to say I am feeling better so I'm happy with that. Anyhow last week I decided I would try intermittent fasting. Basically I would have the bulletproof coffee, with just…

Magnesium
So after I bought the mag oxide (which was the wrong stuff) I never ended up getting any of the right stuff. In the mean time I'm getting super painful Charlie horses in my legs every night so in addition to my sodium chloride tablets they are 1000 milligram (which I take one a day, but honestly not every day) I picked…

What is your favorite "dessert?" Fat bomb?
I would love some ideas. I made one the other day with, cream cheese, whipping cream, and peanut butter with some Splenda, melted a little super dark chocolate on the top of each one, soooooo delicious. 6 carbs each of pure heaven. Now that that's gone I'm fresh out of ideas. I would love to hear some ideas you may have…

Good low carb bbq sauce?
Hi. I really want to slow cook some ribs. The weather outside is giving me Spring fever! I love it. Anyhow can anyone recommend a good low-carb barbecue sauce? They are normally so high in sugar! Thanks!

Keto vs LCHF
...primarily for weight loss. I found the chart that....hmmm...fitgoat? I don't know I really don't remember....posted extremely interesting. Seems like most people on here are going for keto....less than 20 carbs a day. I have also been doing that but I was considering going higher. Like 40 maybe. But primarily I'm trying…

Feeling pretty discouraged today
It's been 4 weeks. I have never went over 20 net carbs, or 1300 calories. The scale is barely budging. Maybe 5/6 pounds total. I excercise using a HIIT workout four times a week. My clothes don't really feel any different. And the last couple days I haven't even felt good. Kind of groggy, my tummy feels yucky, and I'm…

So this fathead pizza...
I keep hearing about it. Had to Google it yesterday to see what it was. Is it amazing? I would be curious to hear your thoughts. I need to get some almond flour. (is this the same thing as Almond meal?)

Weight watchers vs Low carb
I thought this was interesting. My friend joined weight watchers, and I plugged in one of my days that I was at around 1330 cal. (Low carb, high fat) Where I would get "30 points" on that program, and basically starve myself, this day would equal 49 points. Interesting. Yet I still lose. I'm not knocking weight watchers, I…

I'm pretty mad at myself
Just starting my fourth week today. Been feeling pretty crappy all day today. I thought I might be low on sodium so I had some broth. But I really think it's just something else I've been really queasy and nauseous. I Couldn't eat all day except for a few cashews and that's it. I made dinner for the family, we had…

Do you weigh yourself and/or use the sticks?
I have decided to NOT use either, it's to discouraging to me. It seems like the scale moves so slow for me, and fluctuates a lot. I'm going to go by a pair of jeans that I love that are, sadly, pretty tight, and go from there. Don't know if it's because I only have 20 pounds to lose, which I know doesn't tell me a lot but…

Chinese/Japanese menu suggestions
Hello. We are having dinner at a place like this tonight with the big group of friends. And I really want to stay on program. I'm really going to try to look at the menu before hand if it's online and figure out what I'm going to get. But does anyone have any suggestions for a place like this? Thank you so much!

Question about taking sodium chloride
Thank you to everyone who helped me get out of my doldrums yesterday, helping me to realize I was having keto flu and telling me how to get out of it. Oh my word I'm like a different person today. My energy level is through the roof. I'm so happy. I picked up some sodium chloride tablets, I don't know if I should take one…

Weird dreams...magnesium maybe?
Oh my goodness, I had the craziest dreams last night! They were wacky and terrible! The only thing I did different was take magnesium before I went to bed. Has anyone else experienced this?

This brain fog
I've been a lurker for quite some time here, and everyone's posts help me so much! I'm hoping to get some advice or feedback on this problem. I always kind of consider myself low-carb during the week then I go hogwild on the weekends it seems like. A couple weeks ago I decided to really commit myself because I do believe…

Do you track calories with your clean eating?
I really am trying to do this approach it differently been in the past. I've always been able to lose weight mostly with low-carb, but know that I'm 40 I really feel like my body has changed. I need to take better care of myself and eat much better. I also need to lose about 25 pounds. It's really hard for me to have the…
