Keto/LCHF Diet Bowl

Who else went off keto this holiday/wknd? I had beer, pizza, bagels, pie and everything else under the sun.

No regrets here, but I am dreading the next few days.

Not to be too graphic, but...

I'm about a month in, and noticing that the amount coming out is no where near the amount coming in. Is that normal?

After 1 month of keto, I have the dreaded keto rash for 2 weeks and it's the absolute worse! Bringing carbs up to 50g of carbs from 20 has helped. Taking dr. Bergs bile salts. Any1 ever have keto … more

So I’ve started keto, and the push back I get from friends/family is (i) terrible for your kidneys - any truth in this? (ii) good if you never plan to eat carbs in your life again, but (cont.)

Any recommended brands for MCT oil?
I currently use Perfect Keto but I’ve seen other brands (Clean MCT, Kiss My Keto) with pure C8 rather than C8/C10 mix at reasonable prices.

I cheated this weekend with sweets and rice. I am out of keto. It is so tough to maintain. I have been taught to limit red meat, butter so much...my sub-conscious seems to be getting in the way.

I am thinking about starting Keto, but am vegetarian so protein is always an issue for me. Any reqs on how to get started?

Outside of dousing everything in MCT oil, how do you guys get the remainder of your fats each day? I think I'm struggling in this area

So if I eat 35 carbs one day instead of 20, then has my body exited keto? Do I just make that my cheat day instead of limiting my carbs?

How do you all handle cheats/holidays?

My family is in town and ive already cheated 🙈 (accidentally at first by grabbing nachos, then intentionally 🍻).

Obvi I won’t be in ketosis...

I am looking to start Keto. Main goal is to lose weight. Is it possible to do Keto while being vegetarian (eggs allowed)?

Did anyone try exogenous ketones... do they work if you had extra carbs than permitted ?

I’m so tired of eggs for breakfast. How do you all start the day?

How do you all test your ketone levels? Today, I tried both a blood & a urine test. Had 1.4 with blood, but 6+ w/ urine. I know the latter isn't as accurate, but that seems like a big differen… more

After dabbling ineffectively for a month or so, I'm on Day 4 of really doing it and feeling that flu. I did keto a couple years ago and didn't have the flu symptoms until I stopped.....

I started keto a few weeks ago and lost 15 pounds after 2 weeks. After those 2 weeks, I've seen little to no weight loss. Am I doing something wrong?

Favorite fast food keto options?
Mine personally, chipotle no rice no beans chicken, guacamole, sour cream, cheese,lettuce. Heard Taco Bell power bowls are good too.

Is fruit really bad for you? I’m having a hard time with the concept of no fruit while on Keto. If I introduced fruit back into my diet, does that defeat the purpose of Keto?
