Re: HOT FLASHES anyone? #sleeplessandsweatyiniowa
I didn’t go through menopause until I was 58. I’m 64 now and still flash at night. I got an estrogen patch (extremely low dose, below recommended) for now because it was getting so bad.…

Re: Is ratio important if don't overdo macros
I’d like to add that it’s more important to meet protein than fat, but close is okay. You never have to meet carbs or fat. Stay under calories.

Re: Is ratio important if don't overdo macros
Absolutely agree with the above comment. I watch grams, not percentages. And calories of course. Percentages on keto were developed for people with medical issues such as epilepsy.…

Re: What has Keto cleared up for you?
@Karbndall okay, thanks! The one that I have has 4 equal sized pads, so it's a little different. I've used it on my back as well as around my knee, it does help.

Re: What has Keto cleared up for you?
@Karbndall I have a muscle stimulator too, but mostly use it for my back. How do you use it on your stomach? Do you mean high up, or down around your abdomen, below your belly button?…

@Karbndall thanks, I’m hopeful. The last time I tried to stop the meds it was awful and I didn’t last more than a few days. I agree with you re the carbs.…

Re: What has Keto cleared up for you?
@Karbndall I am finding that too much fat at one sitting can still trigger reflux. Like I mentioned, you have to be smart about it and if bacon bothers me I’ll have avocado instead.…

Re: What has Keto cleared up for you?
@Karbndall there’s evidence that GERD can be caused by undigested carbs. Combine not eating carbs with weight loss and many people can stop or reduce their meds.…

Re: Intermittent Fasting ( And my Screw Up lol )
@Stephoney if you want to try IF, instead of OMAD try restricting your eating to two meals in a 6 to 8 hour window. So you might eat between 11 and 5, that way you don’t have to eat in one sitting.…

Re: I was so bad then so good - the same in the end.
Can I ask what your carb macro is and if you’re tracking net carbs vs total carbs? Usually you can have a fair amount of veggies when counting net carbs.…

Re: Organic coconut sugar is listed as Grade A. I added it to my keto dessert and now i'm way over on my carb count. Why is it allowed?
Grade A foods vary widely in how many carbs they contain. It’s always best to enter your food into the app before eating so you can avoid any surprises.…

Re: Diet Coke
The less artificial sweeteners you consume the better, in any form. Add a lemon or lime wedge to your water and see if that helps.

Re: Need help reaching my fat macros - help!
@conniecanderson you don’t need to eat all of your fat macros, it’s okay to eat a lot less if you’re not hungry. The less fat you consume the more the fat on your body will be burned instead.

Re: Need help reaching my fat macros - help!
You don’t need to get all of your fat macros in, just enough to be satiated. Fat is not a goal. You should aim to get all of your protein in, it’s okay to go a little over on protein.…

@Nana you don’t have to get all of your fat macros in, just enough to be satisfied. You should try to get all of your protein in though.

Re: lost on my macors its saying 29 net?
You’ll be recalculating your macros every few weeks or so as you lose weight. Start there, see how it goes, then recalculate in a few weeks at your new weight.

Are you getting enough protein? Protein is incredibly important. Also, in the early weeks salt is also important. Drink some broth when you’re feeling tired and see if that helps.…
