Russel Stovers sugar free mistake!
So it's shark week(sorry if tmi) and I wanted some chocolate. I decided to get some sugar free pecan caramel clusters (fake turtles). I'm really regretting not getting my usual 85% cocoa bar. Within about an hour of eating 3 chocolates I'm so bloated I look pregnant and oh my god the cramping. Is there anything I can do to…

Coming back out of hiding
I've been a MFP member off and on for years . At first I was a straight up CICO dieter and never really met my goals and always ended up putting some of the weight back on and coming back to do it again. Last summer I researched this LCHF WOE and decided to give it a try. I did well for a couple of months, made friends…

Goals... One week at a time
I've posted this already on my newsfeed but thought I'd share here as well. I've struggled a lot lately so I've decided to make a few goals for the week and hopefully will stick to them. 1. Keep my carbs under a max of 100g a day. This is higher than I have had them in almost 3 months. Hoping the wiggle room will let me…

Think I've found my carb "sweet spot"
For a few days now I've been eating between 40-50g total carbs daily which I've just raised from 20-30g . I'm feeling good , a little less restricted but still in control of my cravings. It also seems to be the right balance to keep the plumbing working(definite added bonus). Now I just have to wait and see how it affects…

Adjusting macros... What are your macros at?
I'm thinking of trying different macros. I've been keto for about 2 months and overall have enjoyed it. I'm now contimplating raising my carbs a bit. My main reason is our vegetable garden has everything coming in now and want to be able to enjoy it and I've been missing fruit. Now I'm considering either 15% carbs (up to…

Positive benefits of LCHF
I was curious to hear about some of the benefits you guys have experienced from changing your WOE. I myself changed to a LCHF woe to finally break the cycle of "lose 10 and gain back 5" I had while on a low fat diet and not for any other real health reasons. Since I switched over 5 weeks ago I've lost 8 lbs. I've also had…

On the plus he has requested buffalo wings for dinner so I am good there but there will be CHOCOLATE CAKE!! I feel strong enough to initially turn it down but I also know there will be lots of…

New to group and wanted to introduce myself
Hi there my name is Tisha and I've been dabbling in a low carb lifestyle since the beginning of May. I have been keto for about 6 days now and think I have found my way to succeed. I have realized over the past month or so that carbs are the driving force behind my overeating/ food addiction. The more carbs I eat the more…

Water intake
How much water do you all usually drink. I feel like I'm always really thirsty. I'm drinking between 16-20 cups a day plus a few cups of black coffee. Is it normal to be this thirsty? It seemed to start once I went from moderate low carb to keto.
