How alcohol effects differ on Keto?
Today I had a glass of wine, the first in a while, and I have had at least moderate on my Ketostix for several days since I did a 5 day fat fast. I had lunch with a friend and at well (beet salad with pecans and 4 shrimp on the side, but I also had a glass of dry red wine. I was absolutely silly on it before I was half…

Keto to take along when traveling? Help!
Hi: I'm looking for a little help in figuring this out. This will be the first time I've traveled since going keto. In about a month, DH and I will be on vacation for 10 days. I'm looking for something I can carry in my purse for those "ran out of energy" moments or other kinds of temptations that would be very low carb.…

PSMF (Protein Sparing something Fasts) Vs a fat fast
I'm doing a fat fast for a couple of days after having some falling off the wagon issues so I can get back into ketosis. Someone in one of the other threads referred to a PSMF so I looked it up. That is basically high protein/low fat rather than low protein/high fat for fat fast. Does anyone know the pros and cons of…

So what is your best keto friendly casserole that is yummy and satisfying? I'm hoping to possibly make a couple of converts who are coming to the…

Emotional Eating
After nearly 3 months eating Keto, gradually lowering fbs and losing almost 40 pounds, I've had a week of carb eating culminating in a full blown carb binge of old. Last Monday, my 4 pawed child had surgery after 3 weeks of doctoring and nursing her. Pathology report should be in Monday or Tuesday. Not looking good. Follow…

Net versus total carbs Q (help please)
I downloaded the book Keto Clarity and have been spending some time reading it today. It noted that when doing keto that you should use total carbs and not net in calculating your daily carb balance. I've been using net carbs. My weight loss has been variable since starting very low carb/keto: April: -12.4 (not low carb…

Looking for a vitamin that's easier on my stomach (powder)
I'm having difficulty taking my daily vitamin. Even if I take it right after breakfast with food in my stomach, I'm am retching and miserable for at least 30 minutes. This has been a problem in the past, too. I need a high quality vitamin, which this is, but I thought powder might be easier on my stomach. I've used…

Ketostix and weight loss
This question has been probably discussed ad nauseum, but I'm relatively new and so will blunder in. My Ketostix have finally hit the highest color. This took 5 day fat fast and diligence after with twice a week IF. So, does weight loss relate in anyway to how dark the Ketostix gets? I'm really hoping for a big, resounding…

HELP, who knows the name of the website?
Hi: I came across a reference in a posting (which I can't recall under what topic) that mentioned high protein LCHF bars that are only sold on this particular doctor's website. The poster said they lived a few blocks from the doc's office, but couldn't get the foods there. Silly me didn't write down the name of the website…

Stopped up plumbing solutions?
I couldn't see anyplace to do a search b/c it seems this topic would have come up in the past. This is just so TMI, anyway, that said, I've had problems with the "plumbing" since going on keto and very low carb at 5%. I've read that the high fat usually takes care of things, but that hasn't been true for me. I've also been…
