Back on track!
Back on the low-carb train. It's been one month off (cruise followed by 2 weeks of illness) and I only gained about 4-5 pounds, so I'm satisfied with that. I *really* am looking forward to the benefits of low carb: less hungry, better energy and loss of weight! I'm NOT looking forward to the de-carbing headache that is…

100 grams of carbs, 4 hours of cardio a ketogenic diet?
Hi everyone! My friend brought a diet plan from one of the trainers on I Used to Be Fat on MTV. She says the macro ratios are 30% carbs, 30% fat, and 40% protein. The calories are 1350, and a sample day has around 105-110 carbs. Would eating this amount of carbs combined with doing 4 hours of cardio per day put you into…

Keto help?
Hello everyone! I've been a keto member for about three months I'd like to say. I dropped 16 lbs in two weeks quick, hit a plateau for about a month, gained two pounds, did some IF for three days, began dropping again (went 4 lbs in 2 days), lost another 3 in about a week and a half, and then gained two again. I've seem to…

Been lowering carbs, but what is the magic number?
I have started cutting back on carbs, but I don't think I'm anywhere near the Atkins induction phase. 1) How many carbs should I be shooting for in a day, and 2) how can I get my food log to quit telling me I have 210 grams of carbs available for the day? Based on a reaction I had recently while fasting, I think I'm…

Who runs?
And what type of Keto do you do? I have taken up running again and am shocked at how easy it is. My first time out I was doing 1 and 1 intervals but had no prob going 5k. When I did it the first time a couple of years ago we only went 2k and it was hard. I am pretty close to the same weight and same fitness starting out.…

Confused about 5%
Hello! I am still learning about low carb dieting. I am confused about how everyone is coming up with 5% rule. I am supposed to have about 1200 calories per day and 5% of this is 60 carbs.

How did you fare through the holidays?
I ended up having three fairly major cheat days (Christmas eve, Christmas and New Year's eve) but didn't beat my self up about it or feel guilty. Which is a huge thing for me, in the past I would have been hard on myself for 'falling off the wagon'. But now I look at it as 'the long haul'. Its what I do 95% of the year not…

New to Keto :.. What's *reasonable?*
I've seen the ratios posted and that type of thing, but how does that relate to *actual* food? Would someone more experienced mind posting a general "meal plan" that they've used? My husband is a fan of the "eat all of the meat and cheese you want!" idea, but I know there's got to be more to it than that.
