Question

Question time- what is your biggest struggle with Keto currently?  

Answer 1

Staying on plan during quarantine

Answer 2

Sticking too it!  

Comments

A great tip is grab a piece of paper and on one side say all the nice things that will or have happen when you stay on it. on the other side write all the bad things you will have happen when you fall off. when you have moments of weakness grab it and read it to help motivate to keep you on track. :)

Answer 3

Munchies. Today I wanted salty pretzels. Meal planning seems easier to me.  

Comments

I find pork rinds really help me with my salty cravings. Also pickles! <3

Answer 4

Everything lately.  

Comments

Please watch my live on how to combat stress <3 it is in the announcements

Answer 5

---

---

@logan yeah I should after work I try not to go out. Its just at work we have chocolate but I got to be strong and just tell myself no

---

@zacharia one of my favorites!  

---

You can also buy non sweetened coco and add your keto sweetener to it.  

Answer 6

Not really a struggle but my husband loves pizza so we ordered a cauliflower crust pizza to keep him happy. It still has tons of carbs ‍♀️

Comments

Yes most of those are mixed with wheat and other bad starches sadly and normally higher in calories

Answer 7

Lack of rice.  

Comments

Cauliflower rice soaked in some chicken bone broth is wonderful add herbs to it too

---

@logan . but it’s not rice   

---

@bellarmine there are things you are gonna have to give up to get healthy :) rice or diabetes? make new favorites rid bad habits :)

Comments

That can be a huge struggle but you never will be able to make everyone happy so just do what makes you happy and healthy :D

---

@logan that for sure I do what make me happy and healthier

Answer 9

Stress eating! ‍♀️

Comments

I did a great live on ways to battle stress you should watch it :)

Answer 10

Only having water during fasting hours

Answer 11

Not eating too much protein and makes sure to get those fats in!  

Comments

If your body is craving more protein you may not be taking in the right amount, may i see your current macro and your height and how active are you also?  

---

I’m 5’6 and not all that active now that I lost my job

---

@hitandrun8784 it does seem your macros are off. change it to manual so you can enter in what your LBM needs please check out vid and let me know if you still need help :) Watch this Macros video and never let an app calculate your macros. Keep it Simple Keep it Keto !  
https://youtu.be/x7vv_j0COyo

---

@logan I watched the video and had kinda a hard time understanding it! I’ll keep trying

---

So based on your numbers, 63 grams to 73 grams of protein is a good goal. you fat can be 1:1 to 2:1 as needed. carb at 20 and below that is net or total .  

---

Your protein is pretty high i suggest you take them down a bit and try to get strict so your body can get fat adapted, your craving should start to fade then.  

Answer 12

I figured I’d have trouble but I’m doing ok now. I was overeating my keto snack. I decided I’d eat when I got hungry but 48 hours went by and no hunger. I went ahead and fixed a salad and put a grilled burger in it. It tasted good so it’s not like I’m forcing myself to eat. I’m just not hungry. I’ve just been eating because it’s time to all this time. I’ve switched to OMAD for now.  

Comments

Try to avoid the snacking. You want to eat a meal large enough to keep you full 5-6 hours. The reason is that each time we eat, even keto foods, we have an insulin response. While we are producing insulin, fat burning stops or decreases dramatically. We want to burn fat for longer periods of time, hence the longer periods of time between meals. I have compiled some good info here when it comes to snacking, feel free to take a peek and add to discussion if you have questions.

---

@logan I never snack between meals and never eat breakfast. I have a Keto Mojo so that helps encourage me to stay in ketosis. I check it just before supper. I was eating too many Keto Bark bars after supper. Back to just one and doing ok. Thought I might have to stop buying them. I’ll check out your link. Thanks!  

---

Careful most of the keto bars are full of junk. make sure to check labels.  

---

@logan These are from ChocZero. I’ll let you check it out. Lots of fiber. Sweetened with monk fruit. The soluble corn fiber looked ok when I googled it.  

---

Choc zero is a pretty good company, i will say some people have issues with corn fiber cause inflammation so eat with caution, i can't tolerate it at all.  

---

@logan Ok thanks. I’ve been Keto since March of 2018 and maintaining since June of that year. I’m thinking I discovered ChocZero before Keto and haven’t had any problem other than it’s an expensive habit. I also love Rebel ice cream.  

---

Rebel is great too! i have been Keto for 2 years this month. sound like we started about same time.  

---

@logan Great! I started March 17 that year. My sister had already lost a bunch on Keto so I got excited and spent a week at her house to learn the ropes. She got me off to a great start and taught me so much. It’s great having each other for support even tho it’s long distance.  

Answer 13

Also going to peoples houses and not being able to eat what they cook

Comments

Eat before or bring your own munchies to have. if you are diabetic you really don't have a choice.  

Answer 14

Weekends as I really don't feel like cooking usually Friday and sat.  

Comments

Meal prep! <3

Answer 15

I’ve been staying under 25 carbs though

Comments

Also get strict with your ingredients. hidden sugars are a huge part of weight gain.  

Answer 16

Willpower  

Answer 17

Before, cooking for my family that wasn't totally keto. It was hard to resist some of the carb loaded food that I would make for them. But currently, getting back on track! Ugh!  

Comments

Best thing is just dont buy all the junk so it is not in the house to temp you

Answer 18

Cooking 3 different meals because not everyone in my house eats the same thing. .  

Comments

Lots of food that everyone can enjoy together. meal prep may work well too.  

---

@logan . I am printing this out and putting on my refrigerator :)

---

I would cook those foods, but my husband and son won't touch any of it if it has to do with veggies.  

---

@fuhrman my busy body opinion is, if you cook it, they eat it, or they cook for themselves. If you're cooking to better your health, then they should support you, and learn by your example. No reason, though, why you can't add a potato, rice or pasta to their portion. All diets fail without support.  

---

@hallerson65551 I would say you are right, but I have been doing this for over a year by myself. I am hard and way more strict on myself because I went into the Hospital in 2018 and had Congestive heart failure. This is why I am able to keep myself eating clean. When I went back to the Dr. Last April, my Dr. Told me that I was back to normal, just to try to lose more weight, so if nobody else around me supports me, I know I have faith in myself to keep this up.  

Answer 19

Now that I’m married. There’s junk food in the house. I never kept it in my place just for these very reasons. I love f’n junk food. I’ve gained 15 lbs since January. Not happy I just can’t seem to not eat what I should not eat

Comments

Dont keep it in house period, i tell my hubby to either hide or keep his junkfood at his work place

---

@logan mines retired. And seems to graze non stop through out the day. I work.  

---

@squamulose Kennedy-Busser that can be tough, i know a good time is get your fats in to fill you up during your meals so you can stay full 5-6 hours at a time.  

Answer 20

Getting to the grocery store. I’m used to going every other day. Now we go every two weeks or so, run out of space or worry about perishable items. Other than that, I miss the gym!  

Comments

Yes i do curbside pickup and half of my order is not fulfilled or they sub things out with junk! :(

---

@logan I think you can select no substitutions for most places. As for the gym, @bipartisan Rocker has a great free online workout that only requires 15 minutes a day and no equipment. I’ll post a link, if anyone is interested.  

---

@leach2822 i do but due to how busy curbside is now errors are being made. :(

---

Please do not post adverts here ;)

---

No problem. It’s totally free. Was just thinking it might help someone else who also misses the gym. Sorry.  

---

It is ok we just don't allow promoting from members due to abuse on it from the past. but lots of good free workout on youtube! <3

---

I have always worked out from home so now I love sharing my ideas. I think i might start back a fitness challenge again. i stopped them after i did not take my own advice and pushed myself too hard in a plank challenge and pulled a shoulder muscle :(

---

It is healed now but took forever to heal!

I am losing my hair for some reason and someone said I'm not getting enough protein? Which I don't believe, but it seems to have held me back from staying on board. Any thoughts?  

Comments

It can be from not enough protein, if you would like i can look over your macros.  

---

How long have you been keto?  

---

This video is very informative on hair loss and keto. i lost 1/4 of mine 3 months in. then it stopped coming out by the handful about 2 months later or so now it is grew back a ton. your hair goes thr phases and with low carb it can be more intense

Ty for the info

Answer 29

My husband  

Answer 30

Balancing food for myself and for my husband. Also I'm sadly in a weight plateau. I'm only about 10 lbs from where I'd like to be but it's been stuck there. Considering an egg fast to jump start things. Oh and the hair loss (I have PCOS anyway so I always had increased hair loss but of course it increased when I lost 30lbs. Using collagen, biotin, keeping my electrolytes up and upped my protein)

Comments

Egg fast not only dont work they are not safe. check out my 5 ways to busting a stall

---

Upping your protein may be what is stalling you.  

Answer 31

Not enough fasting.  

Answer 32

Being unable to travel

Answer 33

We are very blessed, that we have everything we need. Even if our neighbors need anything.  

Answer 34

Currently it’s finding all my items for cooking but I’m still holding strong though

Comments

Slim fast is highly process and made in a lab.  

---

Get shakes with egg white protein not whey. Whey is worse than sugar

---

@logan I know that but it’s not pizza or lean cuisine. Like I said it’s a temporary solution until our stores fill back up with what I need.  

---

Pizza is about the same as slim fast products. also there is some really crazy ingredients in it that will damage your body . but there are other options. the shake you are doing could cause you to become insulin resistant if you keep taking them too. we know you cant be 100% at this time but that is 0% keto

---

Also cooking healthy for the whole family is key so it is time to cook and create recipes with them

Answer 35

Getting back on track. Had stopped keto, lost 75lbs while on it but since I stopped I have gained it all back. For some reason I am struggling with starting again.  

Comments

Sugar cravings. Completely off the wagon and hate myself for it.  

Comments

Don’t do that. You are awesome ! The sugar has your body confused. Your brain knows what to do. It becomes in charge, not your craving. When that comes on, go walk around the house, or take a shower, or brush your teeth, or start removing clothes that don’t fit anymore. soon, it will pass. You’ve got this!  

---

Thank you Linda! I just drug out my summer clothes that are all about one size too small for me at this point. They have given me inspiration to get back into shape. I have walked/hiked everyday this week. This morning I asked my husband what he wanted to go with our Turkey we are making Sunday and he said stuffing and I said lets keep it low carb and we decided on loaded cauliflower casserole. Baby steps but I will get there. The negative self talk has to stop and my brain needs to take control. Thank you!
