    I believe keto is typically 50 grams of carbs per day or less.

    It's definitely a kick in the butt. I have a wedding and a birthday party to go to tomorrow. I'm gonna have to keep my eyes on the prize.

    Oh wow I don't know where you live but all our social gatherings have come to a screeching halt for the foreseeable future (which is not a bad thing since I have no clothes to wear lol). Enjoy!

    Idaho. Groups of 20 are ok. Churches are open if you maintain social distancing (for the wedding) and the birthday party is at my sister's with just family.

    This is correct. But i can vary based on activity level. For example, i have seen cyclist be able to maintain 200g and still be in ketosis.

    I run net 30-50g.

    I need to take some more data over the next few days but the Skulpt numbers back up what I’m seeing in the mirror and scale while staying home; down 3-4 lbs and allegedly it’s mostly fat

    Wow, that is a neat gadget! Would you recommend it? I'm dying to know my BF% and I struggle with the little $5 calipers. & Are you still doing Arnold's plan (forgive me if I'm mistaken & you weren't)? Anyway, 12.5%? AMAZING!

    I do like it. I was actually part of the beta for this version so I got it for free; I don’t know I’d recommend it at msrp ($99) but it looks like they can be had for less via a quick google. IMO it’s certainly an improvement on most other electronic devices in the space.

    I’ve done some tweaking to Arnold’s program and turned it into a 5day with a different rep range mwf (3-5, 6-8, 9-12), with 3-4 sets using double progression somewhat similar to how PHUL is written.

    As for me, I am 8 months post-partum, my weight is finally stable again. Phew. I am not even sure I am recomping anymore but at this point goal is to be lean enough to bulk in the fall without looking like a Twizzler. :p

    Lifting is going well, added an extra 4th day to my sessions, a high rep banded glute and ab circuit day to keep my motivation high. Good for the days when the kids aren't cooperating it can be done in 20 min and anywhere in the house.

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    Is there a tack stuck in the heel of your right foot? Did you recently step on a lego?

    Definitely a Lego. Does it matter?
