Back from a slide
Not posting or logging my food for the past couple of weeks really took its toll on me. I know that as hard as I tried, I didn't eat right. I got back into the old habit of drinking meals. My weight didn't take too hard of a hit because I still consumed a lot of fats when I did eat and whatever carbs I cheated with, I…

Beware of the Costco Chicken Salad
Stay FAR away from this stuff! I didn't know that such a small amount of celery and onions could add up to so many carbs! One cup is 21g of carbs! TWENTY-ONE! I really wish that container had a nutritional label on it. This was supposed to be lunch every day. I guess I could have half a cup but that's still a lot of carbs…

Recipe question
Two days ago I made some butter for a co-worker's birthday breakfast. I used real sugar in it because I can't force monk fruit in the raw on them. I used the recipe builder in MFP and it doesn't have that many carbs, 5 at the most. My question is about the buttermilk produced. Should I just presume that it has the same…

Week 4 blues
Okay, I really want to be excited about starting week 4 but it feels like I'm starting on week 1.

I don't know why I think I can overcome 30+ years of bad living in a…

What I learned....
I learned a VERY important lesson last night which also taught me a second lesson. I need to log my food or what I intend to eat before I eat it. I went WAY over on calories but (and this is the second lesson) I am not going to worry about going over on calories because three weeks ago, I wasn't eating half as much as what…

Agave nectar/raw sugar/honey
I quit sugar cold turkey when I changed to a keto diet but sometimes I just want some sweetness in my coffee. I don't do artificial sweeteners and I try to stick to natural things like honey and agave nectar (even though it's processed). What are everyone's thoughts on these types of "natural" sweeteners?

Stinky urine
I've seen several posts about how your urine smells bad if you're on a keto diet. At first I thought it was funny until I experienced it myself. I was in the bathroom at work and I smelled something horrible. I thought it was the drain. Now I'm wondering if it was me. I haven't noticed it at home yet so maybe it was the…

New to Keto, questions a'plenty
Hello everyone, After working out with my trainer for three months and only losing 5 lbs, I have decided to start a keto diet. I did a lot of research and reading before I decided on this diet because I wanted to understand what I was getting myself into. I started on Monday and I basically used a sample diet I found and…
