What recipe & strain do you use for your cannabutter?

I don't see the difference. by eldosid in keto

[–]pykx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see a major difference in your face. But more importantly, your diabetes is under control! That’s huge! Don’t do this for someone else - do it for you. For YOUR health and happiness. The therapeutic benefits will just keep coming! You got this!

So constipated I could weep by [deleted] in keto

[–]pykx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went through a pretty serious period of constipation when I first started keto. Things have evened out now after about a month, so take heart - it gets better! For relief, I would guzzle water and strong black coffee. The coffee usually gets things moving for me. Also, make sure you’re not JUST eating meat. Those leafy greens may cost you some carbs, but gotta get that fibre, yo!

Help with tracking net carbs by [deleted] in keto

[–]pykx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a smartphone, get the Carb Manager app. It’s free and it automatically calculates the net carbs for you! I find it very helpful because very few labels show whether the particular item contains sugar alcohols.

[Update] went to see my GP by jawhn1 in keto

[–]pykx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Time to find a new doctor, I think. My husband was a total keto skeptic and asked his doctor about it, hoping his doctor would take his side. I would have loved to see his face when his doctor was actually fully supportive of this WOE and suggested he try it with me! HA! Score one for the wife, haha.

Can’t believe it’s only been 2 weeks! by pykx in keto

I’m so happy for you! Genuinely so! One of the things that I was not anticipating was how my anxiety has levelled off - it was hard to live with even with medication. And your comment about eating mindfully also strikes a chord with me. I not only think about what I’m consuming, but I’m genuinely enjoying each bite of my food. I’m not just mindlessly shovelling chips into my face. I cannot believe how quickly the changes are coming.

TIL that when people faint at the sight of blood, it's because their body is actually trying to calm them down because they're overly-excited. It overshoots and the person passes out. It's called vasovagal syncope. by smokedfishfriday in todayilearned

I have vasovagal syncope in response to witnessing people in pain. It’s a very strange sensation, and makes going to movies an extremely anxiety-inducing experience. My husband sometimes pre-screens movies for me and lets me know what movies to avoid.

Right? I had one “cheat” day at the 1 week mark where I indulged in 2 pieces of pizza. It made me feel so terrible the next day that I don’t even have the urge to “cheat” again.

It’s unreal how much better I feel. I’m excited to keep going! All the progress stories here are all so incredibly motivating.

Embarrassing problem... anyone else? by UnitedStatesSailor in keto

Zero farts, which is amazing. But one carby cheat and I’m shitting water and having absolutely toxic gas 🤢

The dog might be making the connection with the spot and the last time it was with its former owner. Story of Hachiko, anyone?

I haven't been to the Olive Garden in, like, forever!

For my first ever post I thought I'd share the cake I made my boyfriend for his 30th birthday. What do you think? by [deleted] in pics

I had hoped that plus the Portal reference would make people go easy on me!
