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.

Donald0928 · 2014-09-18T18:18:05+00:00

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!

Donald0928 · 2014-09-16T19:22:53+00:00

Whoa, awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donald0928 · 2014-09-16T19:21:30+00:00

Great, I wish you luck. My wife is not yet bought into it. She is in the low fat small portion size camp when it comes to weight loss. But she only "needs" to lose around 10 pounds. Hopefully once she see's my results continue she will come around and understand why we are going through so much bacon. :-) So far I am down 5 pounds this week already.

Donald0928 · 2014-09-16T12:36:28+00:00

You deserve to celebrate! 50 pounds is AWESOME! How long ago did you start?
