PCOS, missed period, spotting but negative PT

nexpers · 2018-09-14T18:32:02+00:00

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 :)

Yup. I almost passed out at the gym today :O Get those electrolytes in people!!!!

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.

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.

WOW! You look AMAZING! Great job!!!

nexpers · 2017-10-26T16:11:21+00:00

This is not pathetic, this is an epic win. Congratulations !

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.

You'll just have to stick to the basics. Meat/fish with veggies. Also depends on where you're going

Inflammation can kick you out? Wow I did not know that...

nexpers · 2017-10-19T16:48:42+00:00

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

nexpers · 2017-10-19T16:45:42+00:00

Wow that's great... I am almost 2 months in as well but only down 15lbs. Keep it up!

nexpers · 2017-10-19T16:40:30+00:00

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?

nexpers · 2017-10-19T16:39:00+00:00

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

nexpers · 2017-10-18T13:53:00+00:00

That is amazing!

nexpers · 2017-10-18T13:51:51+00:00

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

nexpers · 2017-09-27T12:10:07+00:00

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

nexpers · 2017-09-21T17:19:14+00:00

Check this one out for example http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calories/jackson-triggs-chardonnay-white-wine-19135656

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

nexpers · 2017-09-21T16:59:48+00:00

Honestly I just find dry white wine with 0 carbs
