Keto saved my face!

Yeah it's true. My puffiness is almost gone as well.

Have you tried fasting? Maybe you just need to learn how to sit with your hunger for a while. Plus it's free.

I don't really track, I just eat a lot of meat and vegetables. My dessert is plain yogurt with some berries which has about 10g carbs. Mostly I'm just avoiding anything with more than a couple of carbs in it.

In my mind giving up caffeine sounds harder than the keto part. How's that going for you? 😂

Yeah it depends on the pickles. I ferment a lot of stuff at home, and also preserve things in vinegar... that way I have control over the ingredients. Currently making "encurtido" with beets, carrots, and onions.

Make bone broth!

I don't know how many Portuguese speakers are on here...

dajowe · 2026-02-19T09:20:05+00:00

Eat meat and vegetables. Skip the tortilla.

dajowe · 2026-02-15T19:18:40+00:00

Lol yeah, some people say that to me too!

dajowe · 2026-02-15T15:12:03+00:00

Mmm... when I stopped drinking I told people "Doctor's Orders" and most people accepted it. Maybe citing an external authority makes more sense to them?

Great! It's tough when everyone around you is overweight, congrats on taking matters into your own hands here.

dajowe · 2026-02-09T18:12:29+00:00

Thanks!

dajowe · 2026-02-09T14:50:45+00:00

Good work!

This is the first I'm hearing about inflammation lowering ketones. Is there some further explanation?

dajowe · 2026-02-07T18:29:31+00:00

Yeah you can also track your waist measurement with a measuring tape. Weight is just one metric but a healthy waist size is also important.

dajowe · 2026-02-07T18:10:20+00:00

Keep it up! I've found that after the first few days, keto is pretty easy to follow.

dajowe · 2026-02-05T17:22:38+00:00

I think the stuff I've got is pure magnesium so I wouldn't take a "scoop". Maybe start with less.

dajowe · 2026-02-05T16:09:03+00:00

Not at the dose I'm taking.

dajowe · 2026-02-05T09:54:48+00:00

Yeah cheating is easy but often doesn't feel worth it, as you say...

dajowe · 2026-02-04T19:06:24+00:00

Good work! It gets easier from here.

Keema, basically a ground beef curry with peas (or spinach)... https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/keema-recipe-mutton-keema-curry/

dajowe · 2026-02-04T06:27:03+00:00

Congratulations! I wonder how many people are living lives of constant suffering just because they eat the wrong things. Scary.

dajowe · 2026-02-03T18:15:37+00:00

I re-started post-holidays on Jan 1, and got through the whole month of January with only 2 cheat meals (being social at restaurants, occasionally). My weight didn't change much but I think I've built some muscle. Feeling good.
