Thoughts on Sola Bread, Mission Low Carb, and Katalina Crunch
I'm wondering if you eat these and are fine or get stalled, kicked out of ketosis? I need some bread supplement to stay on track. I have been off and restarting. I used to bake a lot with almond flour and flaxseed flour but very short on time at the moment. I would appreciate hearing about your experience, if you have…

Cholesterol levels?
I have lost weight (more than 45 pounds now, most of it in the first year) on and off on low carb/keto in the past nearly four years. I am active and walk around an hour a day. My cholesterol is 232 and LDL is 149, which is recorded as very high. I have heard many saying this is not really dangerous and cholesterol can…

Arms
Hi LC community, I am trying to get back to it all after a few very difficult months. Along with better eating, losing fat etc.. I also want to get back in shape. When I put on weight and then had an elbow surgery on one arm and then a shoulder surgery on the other side, my arms lost their shape. I am pretty self conscious…

Mission Low Carb Tortilla - ketosis question
Hi all, Sometimes I have mission low carb tortillas, convenience, taste etc. And so far fathead pizza is the only bread replacement I liked. These tortillas are pretty satisfying though I would have preferred not having any wheat at all. What I'm wondering is this, what are people's experiences in terms of staying in…

Trying to get back, motivation how?
Happy new year everyone, Between fall of 2016 and spring of 2017 this forum helped me as I lost around 40 pounds, starting at 216+pounds. With some ups and downs, this summer I was in the low 170s at a time. Then since November, as I tried to get back at it, thinking I need to eat all that I will miss when I wasn't on, I…

Has anyone tried whole 30 with keto? seen any great benefits. I appreciate the very clear science behind why keto works, I'm not aware of anything as such for whole 30 so get the impression that it's a trend but wonder if anyone else has experience/knowledge.

Experiences with sourdough bread while keto?
So I guess I'm late to figuring this out but I read quiet a bit about how if the fermentation process is long in making sourdough bread, all the sugar (carbs) in the bread will be eaten by the bacteria. And that this should not effect low carb diets. I wonder if people have tried/experienced this and seen how it effected…

Adding gluten to keto bread?
Hi, So my bf baked this bread from a keto recipe which turned out amazing! It has flax, eggs, soy/almond flour (we used almond) etc.. and gluten. And it didn't hurt my stomach. Other bread often hurts... I'm trying to do keto so even though gluten is a protein and it's in this low carb recipe since I can't find discussions…

Stretching and Resistance T. Sources?
Can anyone recommend a video, site, diagram etc. for stretching and resistance training for someone who is getting back into it after injuries? I'm recovering from multiple surgeries and injuries and have had a ton of physical therapy (so I know specific exercises etc.) but I would like to find a short series for these two…

Tips on trying to get back here
Hi, I've been traveling for the greater part of the summer and now just relocated. Didn't put on that much (don't have my stuff yet so haven't weighed, but clothes and rings tell a little). BUT didn't lose any either. I try everyday to put back on a ketogenic diet, but something also happens everyday... I know I need to…

Friends?
Hi everyone, This forum finally helped me lose some pounds that I had packed on in the last decade and more. I lost about 30 and I still have about 40 pounds more to lose. I got so incredibly busy lately that I stopped logging on and ten days ago my one-two day break became a long break. I'm trying to get back to it and…

Netcarbs per day and Kombucha and ketosis?
Hi, I've started drinking kombucha and I'd also like to transition to a ketogenic diet. I'm wondering if people doing it have experience with this. My concern is obviously the sugar amount. Thanks for sharing.

This forum...
Once in a while, I look at something in the general forums... and almost always I'm shocked by the meanness and self-righteousness that has absolutely no place for this kind of environment. Until I discovered this forum I would try to come on MFP, stay a couple of weeks then forget about it, I I forgot the log on info of…

Ketosis question for the experienced and/or knowledgeable
How many pounds of the first 20 pounds lost on a keto diet do you think is water weight due to depleted glycogen in the liver, muscles, etc. ? I'm a 40 year old woman, the scale tells me most of the loss was fat but we know these scales aren't accurate. I'm 5ft 9", and I went from nearly 217 to nearly 197. Going below 200…

Onederland! And forum friends?
Onederland! :D I really wanted this a couple of weeks ago right before I turned 40, but still feels good:) Just 199.8. I know this is a lot of water weight as I got sick yesterday and also back to keto last couple of days, but still happy to see it! I haven't seen this number the past seven years! I'll be happy to see…

BMI overweight not obese! Magic motivation tips?
I was happy yesterday to see 203.1 which for me is skipping into the overweight range of BMI. Yet, I was hit with a little worry right after. The last 7-8 years my weight has fluctuated mostly between 206-216. I have seen up to 219 on a couple of occasions on very bloated days. A few times I got down to 201, but this is…

Vegenaise, brown rice syrup, fasting state and ketosis?
Hi, I love vegenaise. I was also happy that it's out there as a health food and it has zero carbs. I noticed, however, that brown rice syrup is listed in the ingredients. Does this mean that the carb amount is somewhere up to 0.99 per spoon and they don't report it? I'm not so much worried about the total carb amount as…

35 pounds in 2 months?
Hi, I would like to know if anyone here has achieved similar results. I would like to do this and would love to hear from those of you who have done so. This would mean on average 4 pounds a week, and I know this is more than recommended and very well aware of the usual advice out there in terms of slower=more sustainable.…

No water loss on keto diet?
Hi, Does anyone experience no water loss during the first couple of weeks of the keto diet? If the strips are accurate, I've been on ketosis for most of that time. And according to my new scale almost all of that is from fat or muscle a bit but close to none from water. I do take Himalayan salt during the day for…

Supplements while on Keto?
Hi, I'm wondering what supplements people find useful while on Keto. I read that enzymes help with eating more protein and fat for those who didn't eat so much before. Besides multivitamin I'm wondering what is helpful. Thoughts on CLA? I also like Betaglucan as an immune booster. Specific suggestions will be super helpful.
