Offtop: Vehicle Loans
Long story short-recently divorced, and have a pile of debt related to this. One of my bigger debts is my vehicle. Wanting to trade it in for a smaller monthly payment and better gas mileage. I have zero savings available, so I need to finance the entire thing. However, my outstanding balance is more than the vehicle is…

Family Disagrees With Diet
Is anyone else struggling to keep their mouth closed at family events? My parents are the hardest critics of me and what I eat. I went 8 weeks doing keto, in public-out for lunches, at work, with my BF-without a single question. My parents were the first to tease me, encourage me to eat "normal", etc. Last night I took my…

Insane Weight Gain After Stopping For 3 Days
So last Thursday, after severe pain, I was admitted to the hospital with kidney stones. I was admitted, and given some heavy narcotics to help with the pain. Narcotics that made me ill.

Via Rail Travellers (Ontario)
Taking the train over dinner hours tonight to Toronto, business class. Back home tomorrow on regular class. How do you manage the business class meal? I didn't handle the booking, so I wasn't able to do a dietary request (low-carb isn't an option anyway). The ride back tomorrow is right after my training, so I won't have…

Need Decision Help ASAP!
Just got word I have a business lunch at Thai restaurant. This is the lunch menu: http://home.riceandnoodlecuisine.com/lunch-special-combo/ I was thinking of either getting a large bowl of Tom Yum Soup, or the basil chicken, no rice or roll. They don't make substitutions, and you have to order from the lunch menu.

Donating Blood
I'm an avid donor of blood. But my question lies in the recovery: You are encouraged to eat and drink sugar, to replenish your system. Typical offerings include cookies, baked goods, chips, pop and juice. A) Does keto effect giving blood? B) What do you consume after donating that isn't full of sugar/carbs?

Freezing cold...all the time!
Hi all, One week in, and I've noticed how incredibly cold I have been the last 3 days. I have constant goosebumps, and my hands and feet are cold to the touch. I've tried drinking warm broth, but it's a temporary solution. Is this common? Should I add this to the "side effects" like the frequent urination (with a strong…

When You Have No Control Over Your Meals
Hi folks, I'm new here and new to LCHF...one week in new, to be precise. 99% of the time, I can control what I am eating. I work in fundraising, and manage through our catered meals to find something I can eat to hold me off until I'm back at my desk/in my car to eat what I've packed. However, I'm running into some…

I also work with…
