Thanks so much for your input. I've been trying to fast clean ...but I do slip every so often since I'm cooking for a family, so I end up tasting foods for salt, spice/herb, etc. On the days where I struggle with hunger during my fast, I've allowed myself some boullion mixed in with some inulin fibre (clear, tasteless) ...maybe that's not such a great idea????

Just bought some keto stix 3 days ago ...I'm currently at the large ketones level, so that's encouraging. But, it's only been 2 weeks with the IF and the LC ...I hope I can hold on to this WOE for long term.
