Inviting Others
Hi, all, I looked at the launch pad for the answer to this question but was unable to find it. What is the link we are to give those who ask about a low carb/keto/caveman etc group? I have a person who is currently keto, and I sent them a link in a PM but I don't think it was the right one.

Fat Fast
Can anyone give me some advice on Fat fasting? I have read through the "open forum" list and found a few things on intermittent fasting, but nothing about strictly fat fasting. I would like to give it a go beginning today, but I want to be safe about it, and I am not sure quite where to start. Is it only liquids with added…

KETO AFTER GALLBLADDER SURGERY
I am back in the keto game! I left the keto way of life in November 2016 because of emergency gallbladder surgery. Was told my body could no longer process fat the same way, and fat would cause me to spend many unpleasant hours in the bathroom engaging in an activity not particularly suited to public conversations. So down…

Gabriel Method Groupie Here :)
Hi my name is Trish, I am currently only counting carbs because I am a diabetic. I do not stress over weight loss, I do not stress over what I eat. I listen to my body and what ever my body tells me is what I do/eat. I am addicted to endorphins and would probably fall apart if I were not allowed to go to the gym anymore. I…

Kidneys are Killing me.
This is new. Can anyone help explain why my kidneys are hurting so badly? I am drinking at least 1 gallon of water every day, and at least 32 oz of "keto-aid" (more on days when I work out) are my kidneys simply protesting the extra work load (getting rid of ketones) will it pass?

Where Are You From??
Had an idea this morning, what if us LCHF keto gurus could not only support each other here on MFP, but also in person. Cyber hugs and words of encouragement are awesome, but what if we could have those same hugs and words of encouragement face to face? How great would that be! So I will start the ball rolling. I live in…

Okay, What's Going On??
For the past two evenings, after dinner I am snarfing down food like it is going to pack up and run away. Last night before I realized it, I had eaten an entire 6oz pkg of pepperoni slices. (Yes I logged it ) tonight I decided to try fried cheese. Then I thought hey! While you are in here messing up a skillet, why not make…

Blood Glucose Rises After Work-Out
This may be a topic for a diabetes forum, but I wanted to ask here as well since my question/quandary does involve keto. After my session at the gym today, when i arrived home about 30 minutes total had passed. I checked my blood sugar and it was up to 152. I am not sure how this is possible. I thought my glycogen stores…

STUPID DIABETES!!
Well shoot fire dad-blame-it! Was feeling awesome, more energy and brain clarity than I have had in many years, all to be undone by low blood sugar. Took a little nap today, woke up and my sugar was 61, got down to 55 before I could get it to start coming back up again to 88. 1tbsp peanut butter, 1.5tbsp unsweetened…

I guess this question will be for the moderators. Is there a way to add a recipes thread where you guys have the expectations, and beginners information the little section above where general threads are? Maybe where folks can post their favorites. I know there are tons of website's out there, but wouldn't it be neat if we…

BACON!! BACON!! GIVE ME BACON!!
Hey y'all need help once again. Was going to pick up some bacon... Looked at each and every brand, not one had no sugar. Almost all of them said zero carbs, yet all of them said "cured with sugar". I wasn't looking at the sugar flavored ones like maple or brandy or even apple wood. Just plain old run of the mill bacon....…

Need help with macros
Hey y'all, I need some serious help here. I cannot figure out how to determine what percent of each macro I am supposed to consume each day. I have tried various calculators, and none of them make any sense to me. So I chose to go with what seemed to be the 'default' or go to percentages. Carbs 5% Protein 25% Fat 70%.…
