Setting Realistic Expectations on Keto
This has been a topic that I've had floating around for a while. I've seen the occasional post from someone who had lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks and then had "stalled" for a week. Why aren't they losing the big numbers? Or another one, where they were targeting to lose 10 pounds a month, and they keto calculator only had them…

How much will I gain when I cheat?
So we see this question now and then. I was reading through Primal Blueprint, and he addresses it pretty well. Let's just say that you have been going strong on keto for a while, and have no glycogen in your body. You then eat a bunch of carbs. How much will you gain? How much is water weight? So your muscles store carbs…

What drives you nuts on the main forums?
What are the pieces of terrible, horrible advice that you see out there? I'll start. "I'm over my sugar goal and I've only had a banana!" Advice: "Oh, honey - you don't have to count the sugar from FRUIT." I see this one A LOT.

favorite low carb alcoholic drink
In honor of labor day coming up.... Looking for some new ideas. Most of my go-to drinks are full of carbs (I like drinks on the sweet side). I just discovered Crystal Light and Vodka (0 carbs!). Prosecco has also been a favorite this summer (4 carbs for 10 oz).

OK - so here's how my first week of "Free Day" turned out. [Suggested in "Low Carb Strategies You Don't Know About" by Susan Campbell - ebook on Amazon] Free Day was Saturday, June 15th.

Flexible Dieting by Lyle McDonald - and the Free Meal
Has anyone else read this? Some interesting ideas. The first and most simple idea is that of the "Free Meal". This is a single meal, once or twice a week, that breaks your diet. This is mostly psychological, so you don't have any sense of deprivation. The free meal ultimately will have little impact on your overall…

Fat Fast Cookbok Recipe Discussion
I know a few people have bought the cookbook and have been making recipes. I wanted to have a thread to discuss recipes, what folks like and don't like. Here are a few I've done. Boursin Stuffed Mushrooms. Very good! It bugged me that they didn't design the recipe around a package of Boursin. I modified it to use 10 oz…

Macro Targets [x-post from reddit xxketo]

My actual fat % was between 65-69% at this time, and actual calories consumed varied, averaging between…

Drinking the Low Carb Kool Aid
My husband and I were talking about Low Carb this morning. We've done low carb a few times in the past 10 years. In general we've had some success, but then went off the low carb diet, and gained weight back (and then some). While we had dieting success, I still believed the conventional wisdom that the Standard American…

Deep thoughts on eating when hungry
I think this is the heart of some of my weight issues. I don't know how to monitor how full I am, and eat when hungry and not eat when I'm not hungry. Right now with MFP, I eat until I get to my calories. It's almost a game - how close can I get to my target calories without going over. If I have 200 calories left, I will…

Survey-ish Question for Keto-ers
So I'm curious on what my fellow Keto-ers are doing. It's interesting when I see diaries with really high calories - or really low - and I wonder how well that works. Or see lower macros, and wonder how well that's working -- that type of thing. This is probably better suited to a survey, but I'd be interested in a few…
