Thanks

Hi, thanks for this community. I have been on Keto on and off for some time. I have been using the app on and off too and I KNOW that I need to track. I restarted two weeks ago and I am happy to say I have lost 4.4 lbs. not bad! I have a hard time getting into ketosis. I am always low 0.5 or 0.6. I am monitired by a naturopathic doctor who has me on 24 net carbs. Some days I’m under that but most at that number. I do intermittent fasting. Have MCT and college peptides in my coffee in the AM and eat around 11:00 AM. My lunch is either a salad with avacado olives and some protien or a homemade Keto soup. Tea for afternoon snack and veggies and protien for dinner. I just made avacado pudding with stevia this week (delish) which I have with dinner. That has seemed to help my hunger. I sometimes have a bhu bar with lunch. Historically it has taken me a lot to lose weight. I have IBS issues that have been challenging on a Keto diet but I have added a high amount of probiotics and magnesium which thank goodness is helping. I don’t have much to lose probably like another 10 lbs. I run 5-7 mornings a week for 30 minutes and have added weights at least 2 x per week. I am wondering how to get more into ketosis? Any ideas?

    Hi...several things you said touched areas that I have had experience with .I also have been off and on keto .I find that I eat too much if I go by net carbs. I always go by whole carbs also I don't exercise anymore except for yoga because it makes me ravenous. And the IBS issues were all caused by dairy and wheat so I eliminate those two things and I have no problem with IBS anymore but that's  me.  Hope some of this helps.

    LadyDKT Wow, good stuff. IBS hmmm. Have you tried milk kefir and inulin? The prebiotic inulin and probiotic kefir could heal your gut. It's delicious too.  I would recommend some fasting. Eating OMAD with a 20:4 eating window. Also, resistance training will put you into ketosis faster. Apple cider vinegar will help too.
