Illness & ketosis
hi gang. I find myself pretty darn sick right now. I have strep and bronchitis. I'm taking an antibiotic (augmentin derivative) and using an inhaler for the time being. Last week blood ketones were 2.0-4.0. Glucose steady at 100 Or lower. I just measured and glucose is 114, ketones are 1.1. I've not eaten since 730pm last…

I used thick sliced. 1 serving of your fave pizza sauce (I used 1/4c Don Pepino @ 3net carb) dumped on top, 1/4c shredded cheese. nuke until gooey, and…

Bacon Pool
So. Friday afternoon I have my regular flight home. This week's TSA test is.....Bacon. I bought a pound of bacon this week, and didn't open it (I know, sacrilege...). Anyone want to take odds as to whether or not: 1) My bag makes it through TSA without a search and I get to have an awesome dinner? 2) There IS a search, but…

Pumpkin Vinaigrette - MFP
Hi guys. Last night that man I married and I tried a version of a recent recipe from MFP's Hello Healthy blog. It was the fall salad with pumpkin vinaigrette. Very tasty. I tweaked the dressing because it called for Kefir, which I don't care for. I substituted HWC. I also doubled the pumpkin spice, because...well....its…

Ketonix
Anyone purchased or thought of purchasing one? The ketone breath tool? I ask this after the pain of purchasing multiple boxes of ketone test strips along with my last glucose strip purchase.

ketone levels not one size fits all?
Hi. I have a question for those of you that have been doing this for a while, and/or keto-adapted for some time...with regard to your ketone levels if you measure. I think I'm almost keto adapted...i say almost because i'm still waiting for energy levels to increase...but, some of my struggles there are thyroid related,…

Keto and Disease
Hi. I jumped full in this week. I am trying to stay right around 20g carb or less, and trying to keep my f/p/c % as near to 80/15/5 as possible. I have quite a bit of fat to lose, but that is a secondary concern right now. I am trying to utilize ketosis as a disease management / stabilization tactic. I'm a little nervous…
