Meeting Macros
No breakfast this morning as I wasn't hungry. I logged what I had for lunch. Dinner I logged projected what I will be eating. Should I eat more to meet my macros for protein/fat? Or leave it be?

Kidney Function
My mom called me last night and said she thinks I should get my kidney function tested. She's concerned because I'm eating under 20 carbs a day and is worried about my kidneys. My aunt is also doing LCHF but eats a few more carbs than I do and gets a dr to do her lab levels etc Do you think it's worth it or not?

Bulletproof Coffee
Do I have to use coconut oil? Can I just do butter, hwc, and coffee? Also can I put hot coffee in my bullet?

Need help with lab work...
The hospital I work for does a health screening once a year. Since I started in January I had an initial one done then. I just had my health screening done for this year and just got the lab results back. I need help deciding if they are good or bad or have improved! Blood Pressure: 108/66 (not sure what the initial one…

Need to get my @ss in gear
I saw my aunt last night at my dads birthday party. She is probably in her late fifties and has had two knee replacements and has tons of medical health issues and has yo yo dieted since I've known her. Her doctor put her on the lchf diet and she looks AMAZING. And she says how much better she feels as well. I'm so proud…

Hello...Again...
So I've fallen off the bandwagon a bit from being sick and then being on vacation. I only gained 5 lbs which I think is good considered I had donuts, alcohol, tots, bread, cookies, etc. all week long. I've already lost 3 of those 5 lbs as of today. But my husband is concerned about me. I barely ate anything yesterday. I…

Help with Medication
Good Morning Everyone!! So my whole family has been fighting off pneumonia/bronchitis for weeks. My son's meds have been changed twice as well as mine. The ones we are on now are killing our guts. Normally I would eat bread, milk, potatoes etc. to claim my stomach. I have been doing that a little bit but this morning I had…

I'm scared to talk to people...
Because my breathe is so bad. I'm hoping this means I'm back in ketosis and maybe weight will still start coming off again.
-
Are you serious?
How can I lose weight after all the CRAP I had yesterday. Specifically for dinner. Ugh. I'm taking it. But the scale better not be lying to me.
-
Curious question....
I dropped some massive weight this weekend. I'm scared it's because I didn't eat much on Saturday and that I will gain it back once I start eating like I normally do again. Or is this the big "whoosh" everyone talks about? I'm at 177 this morning and I want to be 175 by the time we go to Florida which is in 3 weeks. I was…

Kidney function....
So my sister the lovely nurse said I had some horribe keto breathe (thanks sis), and said that she wonders how my kidney function is? I said I don't know but she said you can't continue to be in ketosis?

Love my OB
First off my BP was like 110/40 so woohoo for good BP. Mine usually runs 120/60 so this is even better. Second. I told him I was doing the low carb high fat woe and that a lot of my symptoms (bloating, nausea etc) has pretty much diminished. I also asked him if i can continue doing it while pregnant and he said I see…

Net carbs
Does anyone do net carbs or have a preference? I am not diabetic or pre-diabetic I just need to lose about 40-50 lbs. Pros and cons of each would be helpful...
-
Getting in fat....
I'm usually pretty close to my protein goal bland always under my carb goal. But I just seem to struggle with my fat goal. I put cream in my coffee (working on the blender to start making BPC), I put butter in my veggies when I cook them, etc. I wonder if this is why I'm not losing as much or at a stall. (Don't look at my…

Pain Meds
So I think I have found a culprit which I had no idea would effect me. I took ibuprofen this morning due to an old shoulder muscle injury that was flaring up. I had the same breakfast yesterday but this morning I had the ibuprofen. I have awful acid reflux. So if this is truly the case, what do I take for pain meds? Or…

Vomit
Now I feel not well. I wonder since I'm trying to get on track from easter if I'm experiencing some keto flu. The first time in ever I feel nauseous which I haven't felt in months.
-
No appetite today
So this morning I had about 10 slices of pepperoni (the only thing that sounded good). It is now almost 2pm and I have no appetite. Nothing sounds good. So I'm just drinking my flavored water. Does this happen often to anyone else?
-
Irrationally excited....
Who would have thought I'm excited that I may be able to buy myself a cheap blender this week! I want to try BPC again and with refined coconut oil and butter!! How much do I use of both?
-
Back on the train...
I failed miserably yesterday. But it's ok I live and learn! I did well for breakfast I had a hardees low carb breakfast bowl (holy yum). Lunch I did well but had a bowl of my dirt pudding...I felt so sick. Then I felt better around dinner time and ate TONS OF CRAP. I have not eaten since last night due to no appetite. It…

Why won't it stop....
So the past few days my anxiety has skyrocketed and I'm shaky. I don't know if it's correlated to this diet or not. I am dizzy and anxious and shaky again today. I've been eating to my calories a day or over. I almost want to eat something carby to just see if that helps, but my mind is telling me NO!
-
This stuff tastes like heaven....
I'm in love with this stuff. It took me 10 minutes to eat a spoonful....I want to make some kind of low carb treat with it like a pb pie or something....anyone have any ideas?
-
Yoga....
Oh my. First time I have ever done yoga. My employer (a hospital) offers yoga twice a week for a 6 week course so I signed up. I just had my first session today. Holy hell. I am not flexible and I need to work on breathing. I think I was shaking most the session and my abs hurt! Haha. Anyone else do yoga? Tell me it gets…

Weigh in...sucks...
So we did a biggest loser contest at work. I weighed in this morning and have only lost 4lbs. At home I've lost about 8-10lbs. Ugh. I'm so over it. I'm going to go stuff my face with bacon and eggs now.
-
Hangover Day 2....
So someone remind me that I'll be 30 not 21. Ugh. I drank a lot on Saturday. I did well with eating though! So I feel awful this morning still. I'm drinking coffee and water but feel almost nauseous. I took my mag supplement this morning and I still feel awful. I know I need to eat something. What does one suggest? My…
-
Hardees....
So I just found my new found love. Hardees. I just had a bacon cheeseburger low carb wrap. YUM. I also looked up their low carb breakfast bowl...umm....I may be getting that tomorrow even though it's 600 calories...
-
Easter...
Can you all tell I'm bored today.... What is everyone making or will be eating for Easter? I'm really hoping my mothernlaw will make pickles wrapped in cream cheese and ham. The sweets are going to be my issue to stay away from!
-
I'm a big girl now....
So I went out to lunch with my coworkers. We were going to Subway but one of them wanted to try a new place. So I had no time to plan. I got a house salad with greens, tomatoes (don't like them so didn't eat), onions, green peppers, and a creamy cheese dressing. I have never tried or thought I liked green peppers. Holy…
-
I'm dying...ok not really...
But I feel like I am. Holy hell. I have muscles that hurt today that I didn't even know I had. OUCH. Plus I'm up a lb from yesterday. I'm assuming it's water weight that my muscles are holding on to. And I ate AWFUL last night. I had BWW for dinner as well (boneless wings with sauce) I feel AWFUL. I'm chugging the water…
