  1. Counting cooking oil ?

    I recently began cooking with coconut oil, switched from olive oil. So my question is how do you count your cooking oil, how do you judge how much was absorbed into the food, primarily eggs in my case, or how much you ended up pouring down the drain ? I'm currently doing carb nite solution and...

  2. Coconut oil

    That's the one I got. However, it was also the most expensive, at $15 for a 15oz jar from Walmart.

  3. Coconut oil

    I went to the store tonight to make my first purchase of coconut oil. I saw a few different brands. Which one is preferred ? The LouAna was definitely the cheapest but didn't say anything about being refined, how it is processed or anything, just said pure coconut oil. Most of the other types...

  4. Best source/place to get MCT oil

    I've been using EVOO for everything. I would like to start using MCT oil. Are there different kinds, better quality/lesser quality ? Can I buy it at Walmart/local grocery store ? Can you cook with it or just drizzle some over foods ?

  5. Diet help for carb nite solution

    I'm 10 days in, tonight is my first carb night. Since the original post, I've discontinued the shakes and the tortillas.

  6. Diet help for carb nite solution

    Based on my diet listed above, could any of that be causing me to backtrack ?

  7. Diet help for carb nite solution

    I think I've been backtracking the last few days. In an attempt to get my calories up, I'd been slacking for a few days down in the 1500 range mostly due to only having protein(meat/eggs) at my disposal until i went shopping and added cheese, butter and heavy whipping cream to the mix. I started...

  8. The day after carb day

    Ok, so yesterday was carb day, and I gotta say after a week with <30g/day, it was like a drug, lol. Anyways, I was wondering if when I start over each cycle, should I do it with a zero carb day to kick start the keto again, or does it make a difference ?

  9. Ketostix

    How long after starting a keto diet should I check the stick ?

  10. Eating before bed

    I am doing a keto diet. How much should I avoid eating before bed. I currently eat very close to bedtime. I am currently working nightshift(12.5 hr days, 13 days on, 1 day off) when I get back to the room in the mornings, I usually eat something like eggs, chicken, or some ham. Whenever I work...

  11. Net Carbs ?

    Have ate 2 of the tortillas so far, no bathroom issues. The ground flax seed on the other hand ...

  12. Calorie expenditure counters

    Does anyone have experience with the wearable type calorie trackers, i.e body bugs, etc. Are they worth the expense, are accurate enough to make them worthwhile ?

  13. Dairy..ok or not ?

    I'm guessing because its a fat source or maybe due to the calories in milk per se are largely carb calories. Not sure, but thinking possibilities.

  14. Net Carbs ?

    I recently bought a pack of whole wheat tortillas. On the package, it has the term net carbs. After a little reading, it seems that "net carbs" is a marketing ploy. Ex, each tortilla has 32g of carbs, 26 of which are fiber. The idea, from what I understand, is that those 26g of fiber don't...

  15. How's my grocery list

    Whole wheat tortilla The package of whole wheat tortillas I bought has the words "net carbs" on it. From what I've looked up, the term net carbs seems to be more of a marketing ploy than anything. Each tortilla has 32g of carbs, 26 of which are fiber, so it essentially says those 26 don't...
