Question about the app
I know that on the desktop site I can add "negative" items to my food. For example, add a big mac, but then add a negative bun if you don't eat it. Is there a way to do that on the app as well?

No Dairy Keto - recipe ideas?
Is anyone else doing Keto with no dairy? I cut out dairy the beginning of September and I feel so much better now that I did. I had a lot of GI issues that resolved themselves when I cut Gluten but still had some issues lingering and I feared that Dairy may have been the culprit. They've all but resolved at this point, so…

Low carb tortilla/burritos (12")
Does anyone know if a larger sized tortilla/wrap exists? I can only find the 8" size in stores and would really love to get my hands on some 12" ones for my H. He is Keto, but doesn't need to eliminate wheat, so if they have wheat in them, that would be fine for him. I've started to make him breakfast burritos for the week…

Setting goals
I'd like to set a goal of losing 100lbs (96 actually) while training to do a 100mi bike ride, so 100 / 100. I'm trying to think of a catchy name for my goal, because what can I say, silly things like that help to motivate me. Any suggestions?

TTMA Pilates
About 8 years ago, I lost over 100lbs mostly through diet and running. I hurt my back and gained back all the weight and then some. At only 5'2", I weighed over 270lbs at my heaviest. I am back down under 230lbs, and am ready to start exercising, but no where near ready to reintroduce running. My core is shot and I have…

Poll: how many carbs per day....
How many carbs per day do you personally consume while maintaining Ketosis? Please say whether you track Net or Total Carbs. Ps Let’s please keep this post debate free, I’m honestly curious about works best for others.

Carnivore Challenge
I'm starting a 10 day Carnivore Challenge today. I've done Carnivore before, but it's been almost a year. After being on Keto for a 2 months (after a 6mth break), I did a "carb up" over the weekend. Today, I feel like crap. I was already planning on doing the challenge starting today, but now I'm realizing what a great…

Do you love your Apple Watch?
My FitBit Ionic died and since I’m out of warranty, the best they can do is offer me 40% off a new one. I’m pretty fed up with my FitBits dying and am thinking of making the switch to an Apple Watch, specifically the (non-cellular) 4. So go ahead, talk me in to or out of the Apple Watch.

FitBit Ionic - is it dead?
I posted this in the FitBit Group too, but I'm not sure how much traffic that group gets so I'm posting here too. I have a FitBit Ionic. Purchased in January/February 2018. Wore for 10 months, sat on a shelf for 5 months, started wearing it again in April. On Sunday, the touch screen stopped responding. Did a reboot (3…

I have a FitBit Ionic. Purchased in January/February 2018. Wore for 10 months, sat on a shelf for 5 months, started wearing it again in April. On Sunday, the touch screen stopped responding. Did a reboot (3 actually) and it started working again. Then Monday I noticed that it wasn't vibrating. Did another reboot and it was…

OT: Friend Request Emails
Did anyone else get a bunch of emails today telling you that you had friend requests from people that you are already friends with? I got like 15 emails, but then realized that I already knew them all. So strange.

What's your favorite (iced) tea?
I have several varieties that I drink hot in the winter, but I'm not sure how well they'd transition from hot to cold if that makes sense. Obviously, there are the widely available Green and Black teas, but I'm more thinking along the lines of herbal teas that are delicious cold and unsweetened. Any recommendations?

OMAD Part time?
Hi there. Wondering if anyone here does OMAD part time? My husband doesn't really approve of fasting, and yes, I'm my own person and can do what I want, but what I really want is to not argue with my husband because he thinks he knows more about health than I do (I'm a Nutritional Therapist btw, so I'm pretty…

How did you find Keto?
What made you decide to give it a try? How long have you been following it? Are you Lazy, IIFYM, Clean, VLCHF, etc? Do you think you can eat like this forever? I just love hearing everyone's stories, they are always so inspiring!!

Please share your favorite Keto Soup recipes
I'm looking for something tried and true. Last fall I made a Pumpkin Crab soup which was awesome. I'm also Dairy and Egg Free, so any recipe that doesn't contain either, or I can easily swap in something like Coconut Cream/Milk, would be great. Thanks!!

Fasting blood work
So, I went for my annual physical this morning and my doctor ordered some routine blood work. I'm supposed to be fasting for this blood work. I was going to go this afternoon and just get it over with, but I'm wondering if there is any difference between first thing in the morning or not. I'll be at about 19 hours if I go…

Marbles under skin
Okay. I obviously know that I don't have marbles under my skin. That would be weird. But that is the best way that I can describe it. I just noticed this last night. My upper arms, and to a degree my lower arms, look normal. But when I rub them and apply pressure, it feels like I have hundreds of marbles under my skin.…

Treatment for spider/varicose veins
What have you done? I have a cluster on the back of my calf that appeared when I was pregnant with my son 11 years ago. It's a bit more spread out now, and what use to be spider veins seem like maybe they are turning in to varicose veins, can that happen? I also have this on and off feeling of a tightness/cramp in the back…

Can we talk about GERD?
I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same experience as me or if this is truly a n=1 type of scenerio. Over the last couple of years I've done variations of low carb / no carb / paleo / primal / keto / gluten free / dairy free / etc. I've suffered from heartburn/GERD ever since I was pregnant with my oldest 22 years…

Any solutions for a scratched Ionic Screen?
Ugh. So upset. I have a huge scratch on my screen. Another woman and I ran in to each other on the street and she was carrying keys that scratched my screen. I contacted FitBit and they have no way of fixing it, apparently they don't have replacement parts. The only solution they could offer was a 40% discount to buy a new…

Hidden Sugars
What are some of the foods/condiments/etc that you have found to contain hidden or surprising sugars? I have a bunch of salt packets in my drawer at work. I just pulled one out to see if it by any chance had the amount listed (I'm Keto and am trying to get a better idea of exactly how much sodium I am consuming). The…

Any luck freezing avocados?
My grocery store has avocados on sale for $1. I was thinking about buying a bunch and once ripe, cutting up, vacuum sealing, and freezing for the winter. Has anyone done something like this successfully?

How often do you poop?
TMI question I realize. I have a Hx of IBS so I have a tracker on my phone to track my BMs. Since switching to LCHF, I only go every 3rd day typically, and then I'll go like 3-4 times that day, and then won't go again for 2-3 days. I'm not worried or anything, this just seems to me MY new normal. I'm just wondering if this…

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Anyone else have this? After having completely normal Liver Enzyme levels last May, I had emergency gallbladder surgery in November and my Liver Enzymes have been elevated since then. I had an ultrasound this past Monday and they determined that I have NAFLD. Obviously, I need to lose the weight, like yesterday. Just…

Help me poop please
I posted about poop before. Following a LCHF diet I apparently am not getting enough fiber and only poop every 3-4 days. I'm eating between 1200-1500 calories per day, so I should be going, but I'm not. I take Psyllium Husk in tablet form, I'm up to 5 tablets twice a day (the max dosage I think) and it is not making any…

Is there a low carb BRAT diet? TMI
For the last month or so I've been dealing with only pooping once every 3-4 days. I'm not sure what happened, though I'm guessing Gluten, and I haven't been able to stay out of the bathroom all day today. I'm drinking tea, but any other suggestions? I might do applesauce if I have some at home. I need a fix though, this is…

Fish
It makes me sad that it is getting harder and harder to find Wild Caught, non-farmed fish. The fact that most of the salmon in the grocery store has color added is just wrong. I'm lucky that I found a company at my local farmers market that buys directly from the fisheries in Alaska so I can now get good, wild spawned wild…
