    Mine are 5c 35p 60f I don't know how well it's working though I have been fluctuating in the 160s for 4 months

    I would defiantly say to much protein, try dropping that and upping fat and I bet $ you start dropping weight

    I'm at 5c, 25p, 70f. I love it! It's weird to look at something with 10 carbs as overeating, lol!

    I second this!! Also, my macros are currently:

    10% Carbs (usually in the 8-12% range)
    10% Protein (usually in the 9-13% range)
    80% Fat (I try not to let this one get lower than 78%)

    Im a wellness advocate.

    What is a wellness advocate? That actually sounds like a pretty amazing job.

    I am set to 70F/25P/5C but I've been playing around with my protein numbers, because I think I massively overeat it (about 100 grams, I'm 5'4, 170 lb), so I am closer to 80F/15P/5C

    I work for a pharmacy. I do wellness consultations and vitamin profiles with patients. Promote and market our pharmacy "wellness" services and do influenza vaccine clinics in the fall. I'm on a conference call about that right now (so early in the AM here!) im in grad school right now getting my masters in public health (health promotion/behaviors) so it's a perfect job right now. My plan is to become a PA with an MPH so I can teach medicine when I'm old and change the world :wink:

    And Protien is easily converted to glucose in the liver so I think you are very intuitive in your thinking! I often go over on my protien. Got to keep it 80% fat for keto adaption!

    @balesalicia I am also very physically active, 3 days a week heavy weights, 2-3 days a week interval training and 5 days a week steady state cardio (2-a-day workouts 4 days a week with steady-state cardio in the AM and other stuff in the PM). I am trying to figure out right now what my protein sweet spot is to lose the extra chub, but at the same time keep/improve my speed and strength.

    I've stuck with 5% carbs, 25% protein and 70% fat for the last 10 months. Works well for me, but everyone is different.

    Gotta love stalls. Not! If I may, I would suggest upping your fats and dropping the protien. I only say this from experience. I had a 2 week stall and after research, increased my fats and dropping Protien down a bit and boom! Stall gone

    Look up "Stephanie person" on YouTube. She has a spunky attitude but the more I watch her the more I flipping LOVE her!! She's brilliant with keto and is a hardcore lifter/ excercise person. I am gifting myself a consultation with her for my Christmas gift this year :smiley: she rocks and will help you!
