Would anybody like to cheerfully check in daily here?

Judy Some people are using high carb protein powders.  My friend was sold one by her nutritionist that has 13g carbs per serving, including 5g of added sugar!  You have to watch these supplements, they can really sneak up on you.  Since you are new I thought I'd point that out.  The collagen has no carbs, just protein.

Moondrake Hi, I use Dr Axes multi collegan protein. The carbs are not listed because they are insignificant per Amazons website. They say they would be less than 0.5 per serving though, so Im good. Thanks for the info though. Appreciate your input. Carbs hide everywhere, cant be to careful. Judy😊

Judy I’m in my 3rd week of keto and just started 22 hours fasts finding it really good I feel great so hopefully will lose the last few kilos 

Chris Hi Chris, Im only about 4 days into this keto programs. I was advised not to start IF until I was Fat Adapted. Lol Im not sure what that is. I guess Ill have to look it up. Is it difficult to go 22 hours or do you get hungry? You said kilos...where are you from? 😊

Judy hey Judy! Nice work. Live in a little village so I understand taking what you can get with veggies.  I have canned so I scan the bar code. Keep it up, garbage food is bad 

Judy hi  I’m in Victoria Australia I’ve been fasting on and off for awhile now and just decided To go longer it’s pretty easy and I feel great I’m aiming for 5 days then may go back to 16:8

Chris oh yes then youre the one that started this forum? Ok. I went over my carb limit today, was 56 carbs instead of 34. Ill have to get back on track tomorrow. I usually stay busy but Sundays Im just hanging out reading. Focusing on suppliments and read a lot of good things about chlorella, spirulina and resveratrol. Do you take any of these!

Judy I only take magnesium and electrolytes but try to eat lots of greens 

I'm week 3 and lost about 5 pounds.  I make sure to track all that goes in my body and I feel great

smithalexis2680 Hi, I guess I need to find an app for my phone that scans cans. I never looked into that. Is there a good one out there or do you have to get one that is specifically for the store you shop at? 

Chris Im not a big green eater so have to find ways to get that in. I am doing more organic salads these days. Im back on track with my carbs today so feeling pretty good. How long have you been doing low carb?

Alexis Smith Hi, Im on day 4 or 5. I lost count. Are you finding it hard to find the right things to eat?

Judy download carb manager. It's on the page where you log in what you are eating

Alexis Smith Im on carb manager premium.

Lots of neat thing to see on the site. Some food stuff is hard for me to purchase because of where I live. I am very remote so much cannot be purchased or I get creative with canned.

Judy it is largely meat, eggs, some canned veggies

Alexis Smith Are you in the US? There's an online healthy foods store called Thrive Market.   They carry a lot of the keto products. In fact they have a button on the homepage where you can select for the ketogenic diet and shop for products that are in compliance.  Free shipping over $49, some of their prices are quite good, and others are pretty average.  There's also Amazon Pantry.  

Alexis Smith we have a small organic fresh section and a specialty food section for organic box, frozen and canned. I buy most of my food from those two sections or on Amazon. Im leary of all the pesticides on fresh fruit and veggies. Dont want that killer crap in my body. Sometimes I take a trip away to a Walmart, but they only have a few things organic that I cant get at home. Grass-fed beef is almost impossible to get unless you go online and pay exorbitant prices, but I can get organic chicken and frozen grass fed beef patties here. Dont eat much fish other than usa golf shrimp or sardines as the oceans are so polluted. I do take vitamins and suppliments though. Yes, I did find lots of good information on this web site and meals too. Im new so gradually picking thru this site. Ive lost about 4lbs in a week. I know its mostly water but still feels good. Good luck with your journey.! 😊
