Cooking meat observation
I've been wondering if anybody else has had a change in preference in the way they cook their meats, exclusively referring to steaks in this context. I was raised to always eat very tough well done steaks; however, now that I eat a LOT more meat I've noticed that I prefer my steaks to be borderline medium-medium well.…

LCHF Cured!
Normally I stick to VLCHF, but several days ago I went out with a friend. Stuck mainly to lchf, but did have some bread. That night, felt like my stomach was turning catabolic. :worried: I thought I was dying. :fearful: I crawled into bed and started looking online to see if it was a normal reaction. Turns out it was and…

Ladies: TOM questions while on keto
For the ladies about TOM (Time Of the Month). This may be TMI so if uncomfortable please turn back. This is the first time on strict keto that I've had my TOM start today and I am ravenous (understatement). I ate ~3,500 cal today. 0.0 Is this common? I've noticed that my flow is lighter and more steady. Also no pain/cramps…

MCT oil
Since I'm relatively new to doing keto the right way I have a few questions about MCT oil. How do you guys use it? Eat it by spoonful and/or just use it in coffee/cooking/drinks? Have you guys noticed any improvement using MCT oil vs the other oils i.e. coconut oil? Just curious, I've been reading a lot about it, but most…

Mother rant
I've been keeping my weight-loss and exercise habits secret from my mother since she's just... :grumble:. I try to avoid going out with her even though I am heavily dependent on her and love her. She's just very supportive-ly abusive. For an example, we will go out shopping for "2 hours", but it is in actuality a…

Making short term goal!
Hey ya'll! My long term goal is fat loss of ~ 165lbs, but that number has been daunting to me lately. So, I've decided that I'm going to aim to lose a solid inch off of my chest and waist by the end of this month. I know it's completely doable with the right motivation! :happy: I'm also making it a goal to get into my size…

A Small Scale Victory!
So, I've been trying to get under 270 lbs for about a month now. I've gotten down to 271 lbs, but then would fluctuate back up and around, but NEVER below that darn 270 or even right at 270. :ohwell: Yesterday, I told myself screw the scale and measurements I'm not going to stress about it, but I am going to eat better in…

Kids eating...
Just curious. I don't allow my younger siblings (age 8-3) to eat high sugars or high carbs and many people look at me crazy or make snide remarks. Yes, kids should be kids and they aren't on a set diet, but if there's an option between bagged chips or fruit - they get the fruit and not the chips. I also don't give them…

Ketogenic "Diet"/lifestyle
Hey everyone! I'm putting out a post to see if there's anyone else who follows the keto lifestyle? I avoid using the term "diet" because a diet implies that it is "a special course of food to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons". Like it's a short term or temporary thing until you've…

Keto/Low carb friends welcomed!
Hello! I'm looking to connect with more keto/low-carb like minded people. I've done Keto before, but fell severely off the band wagon, but now I'm back to get serious again. :smile: Feels like I've been drowning in the amount of water I've been drinking. :wink:
