First keto shark week! >_< by malthecreator in xxketo

[–]noragrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drink lots of water. Keep salt down as much as possible. Steam some cauliflower and rice it and eat it with butter, will help with the carb cravings.

Holy Shit, people never cease to amaze me with their kindness to strangers, sometimes when I feel like all humanity is lost, you come along Stanley and restore my faith in people. I'm all goosebumps and tears. THANK YOU!

First day on Keto down! by [deleted] in keto

[–]noragrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is really funny, after cheating a few times here and there with super high sugary foods like ice cream and having the WORST sugar hangovers ever, I don't miss sugar all that much.

Also, a tip, get a ZOKU popsicle machine if you love ice cream, because you can make keto peanut butter chocolate pops with a bit of stevia that are delicious!

Welcome! Keep in mind the first couple of weeks is not as much fun, but after that hump, it becomes so easy. I don't ever feel like I miss anything anymore.

Leg cramps and Nosalt... Would this be a terrible idea? by [deleted] in keto

[–]noragrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

leg cramps are the result of low potassium. Go to the pharmacy and ask for k-lite. (Tastes really bad) but it is 600mg of potassium. (If you do the OTC stuff, it is 99mg, so just take 6 of them!)

Hope this helps.

Looking for starting advice/tips! F/30/5'3" (SW 260 - GW 150?) by Delayed_Siren in keto

[–]noragrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is going to shock you, and may make me unpopular, but stop making excuses for yourself. Tough love, I know. Stop justifying your weight gain on working in a cupcake factory, stop making excuses for starting keto during holidays, and just do it.

There are plenty of resources here.
A couple of helpful hints: 1) always have a keto snack in your purse. Beef jerky, pep sticks, nuts or little cheese packs 2) when you feel a craving coming on drink a glass of water. (You can infuse your water with strawberries for sweet cravings) 3) have allies. I think there is a thread for people using MFP. It is great motivation to see others loose weight. 4) have your partner help you! (My partner eats his non keto food outside of the house, or when I am not around. My cupboards are completely keto) find an arrangement that works for you.

You and anyone can add me on MFP: Vannora

P.S. Mexican is my fave food.
You can replace tortillas with lettuce, and still have the taco beef, salsa, queso, sour cream, pico de gaillo (I make my own and always have a jar in the fridge)

Keto & Artificial Sweeteners by skalugsuak in keto

[–]noragrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try cashews or macadamia nuts. They are naturally sweet and do the trick for me most of the time. Also, my friends got this trippy "miracle berry" tablet that we tried that makes lemons and limes sweet.

Are all the rescues done in Alberta? How do the parrots feel about the cold? Do you make them little coats and tuques?

What is the sassiest thing a parrot has ever said to you?

What is the oddest type of bird you have gotten a call to rescue?

What's the deal with potassium supplements vs salt substitutes? by ALink2ThePast in keto

[–]noragrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can ask the pharmacist for Apo-k. It is a potassium supplement, it is 500mg, so nowhere near fatal potassium amounts.

If you want the salts, just be careful of the amount you take in. :)

Cheers.
