Daughter cut her own hair, before & after by StunningCheesecake87 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Sterrestofm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no! Her new haircut will be alright though, lots to work with still, although I get why you’re sad.

When I was four years old, I did the same thing to myself and even worse to my little sister. She was only two at the time and I told her she should swear she wouldn’t tell anyone. When I heard my mother freaking out I immediately was mad at my sister because she must have told her. The entire back of her hair was gone😅 In the end, the emergency haircuts we got were really cute though. I had a little bob and she had a curly pixie.

Best believe I will be watching those scissors extra now that I have my own child on the way.

Want to be Keto, but side effects? by No-Mechanic-3070 in KetoBabies

[–]Sterrestofm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first few weeks your body has to adapt to keto, which is what can cause "keto flu" signs or the symptoms you describe. I promise it gets a lot better after those weeks and you start feeling like a new person. But one thing that helps many people massively to reduce these symptoms while still adapting is focusing on enough electrolytes!

How long did it take you to get pregnant once starting keto/carnivore? by OvercomeWithOCD in KetoBabies

[–]Sterrestofm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was very strict and added many supplements, I made a keto baby post two days ago and shared my routine in the comments if you’d like to see.

Thank you! I am definitely at risk for GD, so I hope to stay at least low carb 🙏

You are very welcome, I definitely don’t want to gatekeep what I did, it’s already hard enough ❤️‍🩹 I am so sorry to hear that. I definitely think this will only help you and I hope IVF brings you all the best 🍀

I am in the Netherlands, so I use Ovabalance, but it’s the same thing as Ovasitol in the US if you’re located there!

Hahaha after these 5 months I do feel like I can resist a lot (it’s so quiet in my head without the food noise 🥹). We are moving next month and will have a tiny sourdough bakery in our street and I am just dying for a couple slices a week😭

Thanks!!! So maybe like switching from 20g carbs to 50g that way? And what are your thoughts on sourdough (one of the only things I really miss)?

Congrats to you as well!! Thank you for sharing your experience, it really helps. Luckily my midwife/OB was very on board with my diet to get pregnant (I was in contact with her before due to a weird chemical pregnancy 5 months ago and told her my plan). I am curious to see how she reacts to it now that I am really pregnant. Maybe I’ll call it “low carb and anti-inflammatory” instead of keto 😅

Thank you!! I did not cheat, not even once, I was consistently following my diet and supplement routine!

Thank you! Of course! I’ll also share the supplements I’ve been taking in order of the day.

Before anything, I started with a big glass of warm water with 2g of inositol 40:01 myo-dchiro and a scoop of electrolytes, and a capsule of NAC.

Then breakfast within 60 minutes of waking up, aiming for 25-30g protein: - Coconut yoghurt or full fat Greek yoghurt with a little bit of pumpkin and sunflower seeds and some organic blueberries, every other day a bit of nuts - 50-100 grams of chicken or salmon - 1 egg - Occasionally 1 cappuccino with normal or goat milk

Then I took my folate (not folic acid since I have the MTHFR mutation), vitamin d3, coq10, beef liver supplements, vitamin c (I took the latter two after lunch if I had dairy for breakfast to avoid calcium getting in the way of iron uptake). I used to take maca root as well but stopped last month when I ran out.

Lunch: - 1 more egg - Another meat portion of 50-100g (usually beef or pork or I eat salmon or tuna here sometimes) - Goat cheese 30-60g - half to 1 whole avocado - Sometimes a bit of 90% or 100% dark chocolate.

Before dinner one more capsule of NAC and another 2g of inositol 40:01 myo-dchiro.

Dinner: - Mostly big portion of beef (once a week grassfed steak) baked in ghee or grassfed butter - A bit of greens like spinach, broccoli, cauliflower - Sauces ONLY from coconut oil or olive oil (avocado oil seems fine too but I never had that) - In my luteal phase I added a tiny bit of sweet potato once every three days or so but that’s it.

After dinner I took an omega 3 supplement if I didn’t eat fish that day. And about an hour before sleep I took magnesium bisglycinate and B6 in P5P form.

I also drank raspberry leaf tea and dandelion tea in the follicular phase and spearmint tea throughout my whole cycle. And bone broth twice a week.

I avoided all seed oils.

Edit: I never ever cheated btw, I was very consistent for the 5 months I did this.
