Calories: Yes
Exercise:Yes, 60 minutes weight training, 30 mins walking, 20 mins bike
Comments: I forgot how hard the bike is when you don't do it for months, walked outside to take another 30 min walk, decided there was too much sun for my pasty skin and I was too lazy to get out the sunscreen and decided to use the bike...turned out 20 mins on that was all I had in me...and tomorrow my legs might hurt...2 -

Anyone else here doing keto? I’ve been in deep ketosis for 2 weeks now- the lbs are coming off but I’ve also been doing intense cardio 6 days and strength training 3-4 days. I’ve done this routine quite a abut - but I’m feeling a lot of muscle fatigue lately- i could barely lift yesterday. Any thoughts? I’ve upped my water and salt intake. Thanks for any input!

@mg07030 I have been doing keto for over a year.
You will feel fatigue in the beginning. Your body is switching from using glucose as it's primary fuel source to using fat for fuel, your muscles are being depleted of glycogen and will have to learn how to adapt. I would say it took me about 6-8 weeks before I was able to lift the same was I was before, I felt like I'd lost a lot of strength during those weeks, but it came back and I felt even stronger when I got there. My advice, maybe pull back a bit during this time, but you will get there.
Another thing to think about is your protein intake...I went full 80% in the beginning as that's what's suggested to help with the fat adaptation stage and if you're eating too much protein (which sounds counter-intuitive I know), you might be slowing this process down. Once you're fully fat adapted, you can mess with the protein numbers and see what's optimal for you.
Also watch your potassium and magnesium intake too.
Hope that helps...1 -
Daily Post: Thursday, Sept. 13th
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes/Under
Exercise: 20 min. stairs, 65 min. HIIT on the lateral trainer, 60 min strength training class
Goal: Promising myself I will not get down if the scale says I've gained!!! Weigh in is tomorrow... I can't take the suspense in knowing the number---always worry that I'll be disappointed if I'm up, even though I've been on task with everything. I've just started up weight training 2 hours a week and so I know that I'll be retaining water in a big way. I'm learning not to let the scale derail me.
HAPPY THURSDAY!!

@SLIMn2016 You know, I've found the best remedy (and this will sound crazy) for water retention is more water. The more I drink, the less I seem to retain...although there is sometimes where you just can't help it...it is what it is...either way, you're doing great and lifting weights is way better, even if you retain a little extra water, the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn (because muscle eats fat for breakfast). 3
