Week 1 - Just getting started!

I am beginning a new journey today.  When I hit 40 my life seem to fall apart; mainly my health.  One thing led to another and before I knew it, I was carrying around a second person; and let me tell you, she needs to find her own way around.  I am tired of the pain from my added weight, tired of the medications due to illnesses caused by my not taking care of myself, the list is endless.  I was watching a show on Netflix that got me to thinking; "The Magic Pill" .  I have given some serious thought to taking charge and changing my life; so here we are.

    I am in my first week also. It’s been a bit overwhelming and time consuming. I’m still looking for a yummy coffee creamer. I miss my old coffee taste.

    Lor if you like chocolate coffee, Keto Orgain is the best, has MCT and Collegen and tastes good.

    Maria Stanley there are tons of recipes out there for keto and they are pretty good.  So you can make your own meals if you like.  If you are somoene who likes to follow a plan as you feel you get better results out there than yes, follow a plan.

    I am 51, started Keto just over a month ago.  In menopause and also have Hashimotos so constantly battled fatigue and such.  In just one month I feel great since eating this way.

    I make my own creamer with 1 tbs heavy cream, tiny bit of Stevia, and either Vanilla, Orange extract, or ground cloves.  Better than plain

    You came to the right place! I've done Keto before and stopped but that's another story. Since I found Carb Manager I see choices and support that helps so much. I wish you the best in your journey. It sounds to me that you want it bad enough to just do it!
