Daily support...
I did IF for a short while last year and liked how it made me feel but I feel like I need daily accountability. I used to participate in another IF group but it kind of fizzled out. I’m starting fresh here hoping for long term results and people with whom I can share the journey... My plan is to post here regularly for…

Daily check-in for keto friends... volume 3
Hey friends! I started the daily check-in thread back in 2015 to have a place to come to regularly to give and receive daily support while I muddled my way through the transition to the keto WOE. In 2017 a new thread was started because the original had gotten so long. I figured with 2017 coming to an end, now seemed like…

Looking for homemade Keto chocolate bar recipes
Ok. It’s confession time... I’ve been saying that I eat 0 carb keto aka carnivore but if I was to be completely honest, I’m more of a choco-carnivore. I can’t seem to kick my chocolate habit. I’m trying to wean myself off of chocolate but I want to do it gradually and keto style and I don’t want chocolate fat bombs. I…

Macros and percentages
I really don’t like how you can’t just set your macros at a certain percentage and have it keep a consistent # of grams to aim for. The #s never used to change, now they vary with each food entry and I don’t like that. Does anyone know of a solution or a work around for that?

Dilemma... warning TMI
I posted this in another community that I am part of but thought there might be some value in getting input from here as well... I’ve been low carb/ keto/ carnivores since last April. I feel better but have not seen the same kind of results I’ve heard others report. I think mostly because my body doesn’t seem to process…

Daily check in for Keto friends...
I love the idea of this group and that anyone can post anything at anytime but I'm finding that I need a check in spot. You know, like a cyber Cheers... Where everybody knows my name and they're always glad I came. :smiley: I am starting this thread in hopes that it will be a consistent spot for people to come back to and…

Attempting 0 carb/meat only and looking for buddies
Digestive issues are what drew me to LCHF and then Keto. I already don't do dairy, grains, legumes or sugar and yet the digestive issues were not easing up. I did some research and have decided to take it one step further... I'm going to give meat and eggs only a try for 1 month. Until now, I've been eating eggs, meat,…

Another sodium question…
Is it possible to be getting too much? I was drinking broth made with chicken, beef or vegetable boullion pretty much from the beginning in order to help stave off the keto flu but I still had headaches anyway. I posted a question about sodium and it was recommended that I increase my intake. I increased and the headaches…

What am I doing wrong?
I average 20-25g carbs, 100g fat, 60-70g protein, 1250-1300 cals and 9-10 cups of water/ day, 2500-3000mg of sodium & potassium, I use Ketostix that indicate I am in Ketosis and I'm somehow still up 3lbs this week. Am I missing something?

Got duped by net carbs!
I had a hankering for pancakes this morning and don't do dairy so I looked up dairy-free "low carb" pancakes. The recipe called for coconut flour which I don't use often and got from a bulk food store so there is no nutritional info on the bag. I followed the recipe and wolfed down one small pancake (the recipe made 6).…

Feeling feverish...
I've been doing Keto since April 24 and the ketostix consistently show ketones so I know my carb intake is low enough and I'm in ketosis. But almost no weight loss (like 0.2-0.4/week). I posted a few days ago asking what I'm doing wrong and it was suggested that I reduce my fat intake (which was 100-112g/day) and increase…

Daily chit chat...
I am pretty new to this group so I don't really know what works best for everyone here but even though it's great to have the daily walk threads to keep track of goals and steps. I also thought it might be nice to have a consistent thread just for the everyday stuff and to help get to know people here. Is anyone into that?

Tracking WATP steps and looking for friends...
Anyone else looking for Fitbit friends to challenge and motivate?

30DS Check in...
I just joined this group like 2 minutes ago and don't know where to look for activity or discussions about 30DS so I thought I'd start a thread to get things going. My plan is to start today. I shouldn't of have started on Monday but ... Better late than never, right? How is everyone? Where are you in the program and what…

Keeping track of macros on MFP
Does anyone know if it's possible to track macros on the MFP app or does it only show up on the website?

Bacon
I saw this outside of a restaurant today and thought I'd share the laugh.

Sodium
I'm finally back on track eating Keto and logging it. I'm doing ok staying within a decent range for carbs, fat and protein but where I seem to be consistently way off the mark is with my sodium target. MFP set it at 2300mg per day and I'm lucky if I reach a third of that as a daily average. Today, I made an extra special…

Daily Keto...
I want to have the willpower I need to stay on track and stick to my exercise but the truth is, I need external accountability on a daily basis to help me stay on track. I don't expect it to be that way forever but, until I get it together and get my own momentum going, I am asking those of you willing, to check in here…

Ketosis vs. Keto adapted... What is the difference?
I thought I understood what it meant to be in ketosis but I keep reading about being Keto adapted. At first I thought it was the same thing but now I'm thinking that's not the case. Can anyone please explain the difference?

I've fallen... and I can't get up!
I had been eating Keto for almost a month when I went away for the weekend unexpectedly so I was unable to prepare myself in advance and I was not in a situation where I had much control over what was prepared to eat. I started out ok and made the best choices that I could make with what was available to me but by day 3,…

What is your favourite sugar-free sweetener?
I've been trying desperately to stay true to the Keto way of eating but fall off the wagon regularly due to my sweet tooth. Right now, I have pure powdered Stevia concentrate and, though it kinda tastes "sweet" even in very small doses, it has a strong after taste in drinks or smoothies and it over powers the flavour of…

Keto friendly meals for the whole family...
I am the grocery-getter and the cook in our household. In the beginning, I would just pre-make a bunch of Keto-friendly meals for myself and freeze them, then pull them out one at a time and have that much while I serve my family a "normal" meal or I would make a typical family meal and pick through the parts I can eat.…

Light-headed... Salt and water retention...
For the last few days I've been feeling light headed if I stand up too quickly. Especially in the morning. I read that this could mean I'm low on sodium or potassium and my electrolytes may be out of whack. To correct this, I started taking potassium (vitamin k) supplements and I've been drinking coconut water (which has…

Keto-what???
So, I accidentally clicked a wrong button and stumbled across a post on the Keto diet. After my kids were born, I exercised and point-counted my way down 34lbs. Not long after, I started having digestive issues that interfered with my body's ability to absorb nutrients and I ended up having chronic low iron, low blood…

What to do when I mess up?
so, I've only just heard of this new way of eating about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I jumped right in and was gung-ho to cut out carbs. I've been through the detox phase and have been feeling quite good... Then, it happened.... My daughter's birthday weekend. The actual day was Thursday but my whole family came up to visit that day…

40 year old working mom with 40lbs to lose... anyone else?
I am a busy mom of two with a full-time job, shift-working husband and am looking for buddies who have a similar story. I've read so many success stories on this site and want to be one of them but need a little support and external motivation to help get me there. I'm worth it, I know I'm worth it, my problem is not…

Dr. Bernstein weight loss diet
I just recently joined the Dr. Bernstein clinic for weight loss. I think I have the hang of the diet and seem to be losing but I could use some support to help keep the momentum going. I'm also curious to know if anyone else has done this program and can provide any advice. Just to be clear, I have already committed to the…
