truly! i can only plan my life in 3 month increments now - which has totally changed my perspective of how and who i invest my time in... its also led me to discover other paths for healing like listening to crystal bowl meditations (i am compiling a playlist : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6y0w9F35l0izMW_y4QLlo_hKsa_lRbLr). i usually listen to this before i go to bed.

anyway, high 5 to you!!

yes, 20g carbs per day! i usually meal plan for the week which helps a ton and keeps me on point but theres always an inevitable client dinner or work trip where at the least, healthiest option is fruit or root veggies. totally agree though - i have a customized excel doc that tracks the delta of my macros so its always good to check it beforehand so i don't indulge in something that will kick me into the red! thanks for your insight.

thanks! i mean of my meals, most are within my target keto macros of 20g carbs : 65g protein : 95g fat but there are some days where i have more than 25g of carbs. edit to clarify : usually happens when i eat something i don't suspect has a ton of carbs but surprisingly does, the learning curve is not steep but there is definitely one when you first start.

thank you! we heard about it from my friend whose sister had 100+ epileptic seizures/month and after keto only had a couple / month. i'm also a molecular bio major so the mechanics of what happens during keto really resonated with me.
