Keto as a stand alone cancer treatment
I am not advising anyone stop cancer therapy and just go keto, I know my skin cancer required surgery while keto, but this case study was interesting. It is possible that keto may HELP some people fight cancer.... or better yet, help prevent it ;)…

What made you decide to give it a try? How long have you been following it? Are you Lazy, IIFYM, Clean, VLCHF, etc? Do you think you can eat like this forever? I just love hearing everyone's stories, they are always so inspiring!!

Discouraged with fasting
I've been back on keto for about 2 weeks. I haven't lost any weight this past week, and I only lost 2lbs the first week. I didn't get a "woosh" like I did the other times. I usually drop a lot more than 2lbs in the beginning, and it's not because I don't have as much to lose, cuz I definitely do lol! I'm over 200lb, 20 of…

Keto and Fibre
Hey all. Anyone have tips on how to get more fibre please? Finding hard without increasing my carb macro Is it correct that mfp does not subtract fibre from carb macro? I do this myself? So if I had 30g carbs and 10g fibre I really only have 20g carbs?

Oops

How to calculate net carbs
Do I subtract erythritol and dietary fiber to get a net carb? For example total carbohydrates 22 g dietary fiber 15 g erythritol 4g? so would it equal to three or seven? I’m trying to figure all this out. Sorry!

Anyone else finding exercise is increasing appetite?
I’ve really revved up my exercise recently and my appetite has sky rocketed, anyone else? It’s increased my carb cravings too.

Rye bread - yep had the lot. Does anyone believe in carb addiction
I think this emphasises why I can’t have carbs. Freshly cooked rye bread - I ate the lot at breakfast. Oh the shame. It’s probably just greed but reminds me I’m better off not having carbs as I have no stop button. It was plain fresh cooked rye bread. I wonder if carbs do just overload the brain with feel good factors!

Net carbs?

I ate a 1/2 an avacado which was 6.7 total carbs the fiber was 5.2 do I subtract the fiber 5.2 from the total carbs 6.7 and end up with 1.5 net carb? I want to make sure I’m doing…

I look at the carbs...24g, 1g Dietary Fiber and 21g of sugar alcohol... You subtract the S.A from the carbs and keep it moving...right? Ate the bar...looked at the ingredients...and I…

People who push food.

What protein and fat percentages work best for you to lose? I know they say to eat less fat if you want to lose fat on your body and to make sure you eat your protein number. However if you’re not hungry do you make yourself eat your protein amount? Any thoughts on this would be great. Readjusting my macros to Start seeing…
