You ever tried red wine before bed? Only 4 carbs in a glass and the resveratrol can aid in weight loss.

Have you found the new flavors? I haven’t seen them at any BR stores yet.

Found the Salted Caramel and Triple Chocolate at Publix yesterday, none of the other ones yet

Found several different rebel flavors at the Albertsons on Airline and old Hammond today

The cookie dough is not bad at all. Really want to try that raspberry swirl and cherry chip, may have to get them shipped though from the website though.

I've never ordered from the Rebel website, anyone have experience with that? I'm hesitant because of how often I have to travel and how hot it is where I live.

I read somewhere that some people get the “keto flu”

Wife and I never got it, but she got Keto itch. Her whole body was itching and a reaction to carb removal. Online solution for it was to add some carbs until itch is gone. One time thing, she is good now.

I got that too. It sucked. I just kept the hammer down and put cortizone cream all over me until it submitted.

Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking this morning I just couldn’t drink enough water and all I’ve been doing is drinking water damn day!

I’m gonna have to try that ketoaid concoction

I just started Keto this week. My wife went on it to lose weight last week, and I decided to give it a go. I don;t want to lose weight, but I do want to maintain a lower fat percentage throughout the year, and I think it will help with my distance running and energy levels. My only concern is about losing muscle mass.

I've been in ketosis for 4 days. It only took me a couple of days to get there, probably because I run 50 miles a week, lift 5 days a week, and I was already lower card than most people. The diet has been surprising simple for me.

Day 1 in ketosis was hell. I went out for speed workout at 5:00 am and struggled to get through my last 6 repeats. I managed to complete my workout, but it was almost like I lost 2 months of fitness. Throughout the day, I felt mildly nauseated and lethargic. I had trouble focusing at work, and my stomach was all jacked up. I slept like crap that night. I thought about abandoning it that day but decided to give it a week.

I took Day 2 off from work due to not sleeping well the night before. My easy run was okay that morning. The rest of the day was similar to the first with periods of feeling better. Supplementing with coconut oil and pink Himalayan salt seemed to help.

Day 3 was much better. Mild nausea was nearly gone, and my gut was back to normal. I made it though most of the day before feeling tired again and was able to do an hour of heavy weights that evening.

Day 4 is today. My 10-mile run this morning felt good. So far, I feel "normal." I think I may have made it past the keto flu. I plan to taking some exogenous ketones tomorrow morning before my lactate threshold run.
