Hi! Hope it all goes well!
-
Sarah hi! Yes me to
-
Sarah hopefully I am answering in the right spot lol
-
I think it's the right spot! :)
I am only on my 4th week...I've learned a lot but still have questions. It's nice to have a place to see what others are experiencing. -
Sarah good lol...I am older at 44 and most of this is new to me
-
Sarah and yes I need all the help I can get on keto...has not been to bad so far except no sugar is real tough especially none for my coffee 馃槨馃槀馃槀
-
I don't know if I'm allowed, but I would recommend also checking out ketogenicforums.com. I've been hanging around both when I have questions. I tend to search the forums first for answers and post less, but it's helpful to hear what a lot of people go through...all ages, weights, etc.
I've been using Swerve as I got a free sample and some stevia I had left over. But, it's been hard this week and I'm not sure if it's because I made zucchini brownies for friends on Tuesday and had some sample tastes to make sure all was good or because I'm PMSing.. :)
I put Swerve or stevia in my coffee only because I add coconut oil and coconut milk and it helps me drink it. I'd much rather have my black coffee!!

So far, I noticed my portion size has shrunk. I dont feel as hungry all day long. Hope it helps you. It is a slow go, but it is working for me. Remember to keep your protein lower than your fats.

Dana swerve tastes really good in coffee. Buy it on amazon
-
Dana I did try Splenda this morning and it helped
-
Dana I hope that happens to me...I seem hungry all the time
-
Wish you the best.

Blessed 14 thanks
-
Sarah well making brownies can make it harder...or the other also 馃ぃ馃ぃ I will check out the other site also...sorry I didn鈥檛 answer sooner this app is really slow...I feel pretty good so far no carb or sugar crash...yet
-
Sarah wait it is stevia I am using and it鈥檚 not bad
-
Welcome! Best of success!
-
lowcarbdieter65fb Nice! It certainly helps. I'm just not starting to test some glucose results to see how somethings affect me as I don't want to overload on artificial sweeteners. This week has been a tough one for cravings!
-
lowcarbdieter65fb No apologies necessary...I don't get to things right away...busy summer!
-
Sarah yes summer I am usually out and about or riding my motorcycle...so should we be worrying about calories right now?
-
Nice! Husband enjoys riding too, but a bit busy with work right now.
I've been keeping an eye on my (especially when I started) to get a good idea of where I was. But I haven't been restricting as I was much more tired when I did.
I've read about not restricting, but you can get too much too! I think it depends on your activity level as well.
-
Sarah ok...I am watching it close right now...it鈥檚 really hard to get all the fats in but easy to get the protein...and that鈥檚 awesome he has a bike also! I just got my wife to finally go on a ride and she is nagging me to take her more and more now 馃槀
-
I find that too with fats and proteins. I'm learning to stress a lot less about this stuff as I do it longer, so maybe that is helpful? Meaning the more I do it, the more comfortable I feel and realize it's not about perfect macros/calorie intake, etc.. But, it is taking time to get there and learn more but worry less.
That's fun that your wife enjoys it! My husband has a '84 Honda Nighthawk (those are all the details I remember!) and it is not a comfy ride for a passenger! 馃槅 He doesn't mind too much that he gets to roam the roads alone or with some buddies. 馃榾
-
Sarah yes I figured I would track for a month and then I should know pretty much what I can eat...
my bike is a 2006 shadow 750 and I love it...I got a heck of a deal on it...and as you can tell I like to talk so if you have had enough just let me know and I will zip it 馃榿
I would attach a picture of my bike if I can figure out how 馃槀馃槈
-
Best of luck to you! It's much easier I find than I thought it would (as far as 'counting carbs').
Nice deal! My stepdad gave my hubby his current bike which was really generous...a bike was pretty far down on the list of wants as we just bought property and hubby is a builder and usually has tools he's eyeing as well. It does need some work now to pass the next inspection. He got some good use out of it last fall and this spring though!
We had a busy weekend so I was pretty quiet around here!
