Well, dairy definitely makes me gain I'm going to keep the butter but get rid of the half & half and cheddar I have added. Hopefully that will help

I thought dairy was frowned upon? I hear things like dairy makes you fat! I'm afraid to add it if it's going to make me gain! I've never had a problem before with dairy, so adding some in to my diet plan wouldn't be a problem at all. What other dairy products are okay to eat besides whole fat milk and cream? Also, isn't there sugar added to milk and cream?

Thanks for your reply!!! I'm not currently supplementing with anything. I drink a gallon of water a day, easy. I do the beginner body weight workout every two days and go for long walks everyday (up to 2hrs.). I have been slacking on exercising the last few days because my energy levels are just non-existent. I had the initial low-carb brain fog but that subsided quickly enough. I weight 210 at 5'1 and I'm 25 years old. If I had to guess at body fat percentage? 50+ (I'm small in frame with a lot of fat on me) I'm willing to cut out, or put in, foods that can optimize my results. My goal is to lose body fat and gain a little muscle (which I have been doing by completing the body weight circuits. I'd even be willing to up the weight lifting if it helped me lose more weight in a fairly quick amount of time, though I stress that I'm realistic and understand these things take time. I have only been using MFP for a week, but have been eating paleo since the 7th using pretty much the exact same foods and portions since starting. The link below will direct you to a page where you can select the start date (jan 15, 2014) and I believe the end date will be today. I hope this helps!!

Aww you sound like me! I had a life very similar to yours, until my mom got sick, couldn't work, and needed to be cared for (my dad as well). I looked in the mirror - I had gained more weight than I ever had in my life! I wasted YEARS either lying in bed chronically depressed or online f*cking around. When I saw what my life was like, I knew things had to change. I went paleo recently, it wasn't hard because I committed to it after never having the strength to commit to anything in my life. I dropped 10lbs. in a week and a half. I go outside, I talk to strangers. I reached out to family (no friends, long story) and love that they support me. It makes me sad to think about doing nothing now because I HAVE to do something, everyday. Once you find that thing that sparks you, that makes you tired of being stuck in the rut of unhealthiness, lack of motivation, no fun, no hope; you will succeed. I believe that you can. Reaching out for help here, for people to talk to is the first step in the best direction ever. Good luck to you, you can always talk to me, ok? Don't be shy! Everyone needs a buddy!

Hi everybody! I'm new to the forum and was a little confused about how my Paleo diet wasn't sending me into ketosis. I have ALOT of weight to lose (100 would be ultimate) and have been eating Paleo since the 7th of January of this year. It's been surprisingly easy and I have already lost at least 10lbs.! But I was very interested in getting into a ketogenic state, mostly to see how I feel and how much fat will come off of me. Now I have read that Keto can occur once you are consuming <50g of carbs a day. Now, some Keto diet sites state that you should subtract your fiber count from the total carbs to get your actual net carb number. I have started using MFP to track macros since the 15th and have consistently stayed under 50 g net carbs (I've actually been under 30g the whole time), but I exhibit none of the signs or benefits of being in ketosis. No fruity breath, no great surge of energy, no acetone piss (not complaining). I have been eating fruit every now and again, but a bulk of my sugar comes from tomatoes (not eaten everyday either). That has ranged from 3g of sugar to 26g. If anyone has any knowledge of this I would be much obliged! If further stats are needed, or you need to know what I eat typically, I can provide that also. I have gained about 2lbs currently due to lady issues, but hope that is the culprit!! Once again thanks for the help and hello to everyone!!
