Started keto 5 days ago. Lost about 7 pounds. All was going well until today when I exceeded net carb quota. Is there hope?

Always hope! Don’t get to down on yourself, just get right back into it. Your body will be back in ketosis before you know it. Here’s a visualization that helps me a lot:

If I’m sailing from point A to point B and a bit of wind pushes me off my intended course, what do I do?

I don’t stop and immediately turn around. I don’t stop and yell GODS OF THE SEA TAKE ME NOW and jump overboard, right? (Well... sometimes I feel like this 😉).

I course correct - adjust the sails, maybe re-route for a bit, et cetera. Keto, or making any healthy lifestyle changes, is just like this.

Don’t burn your boat or preemptively walk the plank; just get back on it. You’ve got this 🤗

You are going to have days like that. Just get back on it again the next day.

Of course! I think I can safely say I’m not the only one who’s been in the same situation, keto or otherwise. 🤗 it’s easy to get down on ourselves for things when we don’t perfectly execute them

If you go overboard you could always do some cardio on the next day to help get back. A lot of semi keto diets include “carb ups"

New to Toronto, moved to the west end of town/ just past - in Etobicoke. I celebrate my 40th a few days after NYE/NYD - would love some recommendations on moderately priced but nice ambiance restaurants for myself + husband, and my extended family. Everyone is scattered throughout (Hamilton, Barrie, Lyle, Newmarket, North York). Don’t want anything too fancy but don’t really know where or what is good and not downtown.


Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).

I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?
