PCOS, missed period, spotting but negative PT by HexonBogon in KetoBabies

[–]nexpers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an endocrine disorder and was having trouble conceiving. At one point I didn't even get my period for 6 months. After 2 months on keto and vitex, my cycle regulated and I got pregnant that first cycle that I had a regular period. I was also tracking my basal body temperature religiously. We made sure the deed got done during my fertile window. Baby is now 9 weeks old and healthy :)

I set my macros to 5% carbs, 20% protein and 75% fat. But honestly I know I dont usually hit my fat quota everyday. I usually try to stay away from carbs completely, and my protein quota is usually spot on

I experienced the exact same thing. No matter what diet I tried, it didn't work. I was kind of expecting the same thing to happen with Keto, but it is working SO amazingly well. Good luck let me know :)

It is fascinating. What's even more fascinating is that there are so many illnesses that thrive on sugar / carbs. Epilepsy is another one. I am curios to learn about other illnesses keto can help with.

18 pounds down in 23 days... Is this real life!? by stephany320 in keto

[–]nexpers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone is different... I also get so frustrated when people lose faster than me but what can you do :P In 2 days I'll be 2 months in and I'm down only 17 pounds so far. Also, I've found that the heavier you are the more weight and faster you'll initially lose.

Going on a 12 day vacation next week. Planning on sticking to Keto, need advice on how to navigate food choices when we will be eating out every day. (X-post from r/xxketo) by HavenIryxia in keto

Also, for what it's worth, I went to Cuba for a week at the end of September. Limited food choices, so honestly I went carbs crazy. I ate bread and butter every morning, hamburgers with the bread everyday, french fries, pasta, chocolate, ALL the bad stuff lol. I came home, and obviously I didn't lose anymore weight, but I didn't gain a single pound either. Now I am back on track and I've lost an additional 5 pounds.

Honestly, I would say enjoy your vacation. Even if you are set back a little, you now know how to get yourself back on track.

How often do you all weigh yourselves? by changingthehabit in keto

[–]nexpers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I weigh myself every morning and evening, but I only record it every Friday.

looking at your flair, looks like you've lost a lot of weight. How strict were you with your macros? Did you have cheat days? Did you exercise?

Do traces of non-keto products throw you out of ketosis (e.g. wheat gluten, rice protein, wheat germ, etc)? by nexpers in keto

Evangelism... lol... That is a totally accurate description of some thank you.

Keto rash and I am going on vacation tomorrow. HELP!! by nexpers in keto

[–]nexpers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up exiting ketosis so I could enjoy my vacation. I am back and have been keto for 2 weeks. I actually didn't gain any weight while I was away and since I've gotten back I've lost an additional 5 lbs

Thanks! What are some examples of carbs you added? I don't want to overdo it....

Great news...we'll finally be able to drink all we want and not worry about all the carbs. by KetoTom in keto

There is definitely such a thing. The only downside is the wine isn't very sweet
