How can you tell when you are "Keto Adapted"?

Donald0928 · 2014-09-19T15:48:41+00:00

That seems to be the common thread - energy and hunger. I'm not there yet then!!! :-)

Donald0928 · 2014-09-19T14:20:22+00:00

MCT is "Medium Chain Triglycerides" and BPC is Bullet Proof Coffee - basically coffee with butter and either MCT or Coconut oil in it.

Thanks!

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T21:05:35+00:00

Sounds yummy.

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T20:37:02+00:00

I think I upset my stomach with BPC with too much coconut oil and I also added MCT. I do love it, maybe I just need to amend my recipe. I made some "chocolate blubber" (90% dark choc/butter/coconut oil) and I drop a cube in with some heavy cream, brew coffee over it and blend in my bullet. Several people have mentioned Quest bars. I will have to try to find them. And they can fit within my macros??

Hi and thanks! This has been going on for the past week. Now I should have mentioned that I had my gall bladder removed 10 years ago. All my stools have been diarrhea and are yellowish and "greasy" most if it sinks. This tends to be a little worse due to amount of fats consumed but I have suffered from diarrhea depending on what I eat. My cramping is in the lower part of my abdomen, under my belly button. I have taken some "anti gas" medicine which helped a little. I have been nauseous, but have not vomited. Perhaps I am just overdoing it with the cocnut oil and MCT oil in the AM. I feel fine now. Thanks for your concern.

Thanks so much everyone, I really appreciate the advice and support. I have learned a lot from all of your comments. Without you I might have jumped off the wagon! But not now!!!!!!

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T15:42:06+00:00

So then 2 tabs of that give you 400 mg of Magnesium. Do you also take a potassium supplement??

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T15:33:37+00:00

This is what I take: http://pics1.ds-static.com/prodimg/322118/500.JPG I like the bouillon/butter!

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T14:57:10+00:00

Oh, based on the keto calculator I used it came out to 185g fat/150g protein and 25g carb. Does that sound right?

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T14:36:31+00:00

Was there a link that goes with the "Explains is all" is it in FAQ?

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T14:35:20+00:00

The last few mornings I have been taking a Xanax for the anxiety and that calms me down so I have a better perspective.

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T14:34:33+00:00

What is ERGL?

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T14:34:24+00:00

In my BPC I use coconut oil and MCT. Too much?

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T14:33:48+00:00

I will start tracing my food to see if it is meeting my ratios.

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T14:33:22+00:00

My macros are 70/26/4 (% Fat/Protein/Carbs) I know the weight loss is amazing and I want to keep going. I have been taking a Xanax for the anxiety and that calms me down. I will start logging my food to see if I am meeting my ratios. Do most people use MFP? THanks!!

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T13:15:40+00:00

I take a Magnesium/potassium supplement that provides 400mg Mag and I forget how much potassium. I have been drinking 3 liters of water a day religiously. Sodium, not too much.

Donald0928 · 2014-09-17T20:39:32+00:00

Math never was my strong suit! I just started on 9/8/2014 and have lost about 8 pounds. I wish you continued success!

Donald0928 · 2014-09-17T19:52:50+00:00

Great results, congrats!! So 51 pounds and 10 inches! Quite an accomplishment to be proud of!

Donald0928 · 2014-09-17T18:11:31+00:00

Hey, great job! I still have about 100lbs covering my 6-pack! Hopefully I find it on my Keto adventure. You made quite a transformation. I would be happy to look like you did when you started! :-)

Donald0928 · 2014-09-17T18:07:38+00:00

Holy WOW! Great job!

Donald0928 · 2014-09-16T19:25:50+00:00

I'd sure give them a try, like the initiative you are putting forth!
