Insight and opinions please
Sorry for the long post. I started keto March 2015. The first 7-8 months were amazing - I swam every day from June to August and lost a total of 40lbs. Right before thanksgiving I got really sick and, because I couldn't keep anything keto down, after about 4 days I decided I needed some bread. That worked and I *VERY*…

Repticon, calories burned, and arthritis
So I will start with arthritis. My mother has an ankle that is swollen and hurts when she walks alot. We thought it was bursitis but apparently it's Achilles arthritis? I never knew that was a thing... I have been 'playfully nudging' my parents towards keto. They are thinking it's insane less and less as they see me…

Arthritis and keto
Today I went to the movies and my knees started to really ache because of the cold theater. This has been something that has happened for years so it isn't anything new to me. My mother said that its not good if its because of cold and that there is A LOT of arthritis in the family. Then she said "watch your salt" in an…

Types of Keto
So I am a part of FB groups, MFP groups, and read random forums sometimes. I keep seeing people argue about 'different types of keto' I know one is just wrong in that they say high protein, mod fat, low carb. That's just not keto. But there seems to be an argument over nutritional(medical) ketosis vs. weight loss ketosis.…

Best pancake recipe?
My parents are making oatmeal pancakes tomorrow for a family breakfast. Those pancakes are freaking amazing and even better cold (which is what I miss most.. with peanut butter and ginger preserves :( ) I know I will be longing to join in on the pancake goodness so I want to try an alternative. I do like the cream cheese…

Back in keto the next day?
My sister was visiting this past week so I've been lax on carb counting. These are the approximate grams of carbs for the past few days: 95, 32, 104, 8 today and keto sticks read moderate? I didn't think this was possible... I'm not complaining

Work glutes but not quads?
I have done squats and lunges and bridges to try to work my glutes but I always end up developing massive quads. I have always had muscular legs and don't have too much of a problem with that except I am still over weight and my thighs are larger to begin with. I would rather not make them look bigger than they already…

Liquid gels?
I know that liquid cold medicine has a ton of sugar to make it palitable, but what about gel caps? I have really bad allergies with all this pollen and it's been majorly screwing with my sinuses so I've been taking 2-4 liquid gel caps a day. Ketostix are showing trace (not that they really mean anything). Anyone have any…

Mothers Day dinner HELP!
My daughter and I are going out with my parents, sister and her husband and kids on Sunday. Generally my mother chooses where we go and this time everyone is in agreement, but I don't think there is anything I can safely eat. Its is a Chinese place called Cafe Zen and everything had some kind of sauce.…

Can I be ketoadapted in less than 1 week?
So I started keto last Sunday. I was using ketostyx to make sure I was getting into ketosis and on Friday I was in large. That evening for dinner I had steak, chicken, a little shrimp and broccoli, and was a little short on fats. The next morning I tested again and I was down to moderate, and the day after it was between…

Work chest without working back/shoulder?
I want to build my chest muscles(and tone arms) but do NOT want to work the back of mu shoulders too much. I spent many years busing tables and built up the back of my shoulder so much it made me hunch. Years later I still have back problems because of it. I was told that if I build my chest it will help balance me out.…

I'm still hungry...
I have been experimenting with my calorie levels since I started(I gain/stall with below 1400). I try to focus more on macros than calories. I have been mostly good about keeping carbs below 25 and closer to 15/20. I do find my appetite is not as strong but I still get hungry(like now). I still have 2.5hrs till dinner and…

Lost 5lbs at start, then gained it back?
I started March 15th, lost 5lbs(probably water) in the first two weeks, it stopped there and then its back? Am I doing something wrong? I cut overall calories back because I don't get much exercise other than light housework and waiting on 5mo-5 year olds.

Pizza recipe my Keto skeptic parents will love?
My family is very much a real food family. We never had the 'popular' foods or microwavable foods(never had a microwave, and still don't). I need to find a really good recipe that isn't fake tasting and is as close to real pizza as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks

Evaluate my food please?
I am 5' 3-3/4" 200lbs female I have been tracking, adjusting and re-learning about portions for nearly a year. I was a strong and curvy 140lbs pre pregnancy 4 years ago but since then fell back into old bad habits of stress and depression eating. I still struggle with this sometimes but it isn't usually too bad when it…
