Sleep and keto
I’ve always found I need quite a good carby meal to sleep well (I’m a rubbish sleeper). In the past if o haven’t eaten enough before bed I haven’t slept well. I’m not one of these I fasted and slept the best I ever have. I can guarantee if I fast led for a day I would be up all night. So my question is once in ketosis (if…

Keto freinds
Hey Everyone, I was wondering if there is way to set mfp up to stop saying I'm gaining weight after I complete my days diary. I did figure out how to change my macros to kito but it's still saying I'm gaining everyday.

Exercise and fasting
Hi! I have been doing keto and 16:8 IF since November. I recently started working out with a trainer at the gym. We do resistance training and then I do cardio. Typically, I go in the afternoon, after I've begun eating. Today (and Monday), my schedule is forcing me to go in the morning. I typically drink a protein shake…

Weight gain after day one
I’m back to Keto, after messing around with WW, low cal and VLC for the past 6 months. I kept playing with the same 10 lbs with no net loss. Did well (I thought) on Keto yesterday and my weight is up two lbs today?! Is this normal ?

Back on keto.
I was on keto for about 8 months over a year ago, and lost close to 60 lbs. I hadn't cheated at all in the 10 or so months I was on keto, but I had been doing so good, and I'll just cheat for Christmas came into my head, well Christmas came and went and I could not stop the carbs, I don't even know how often I started…

Acne...
On day 127 of Keto.... I feel like a teenager again, and not in a good way! I started getting pimples right before my period. Last month was less, just 1 or 2...this month I have 5! One by my lip, 2 on my chin and 2 on my neck! They are HUGE! I know my hormones are doing something...and I hope it's all for the better...but…

breakfast
So i am on my third week of keto. I lost 8lbs my first week and a half. Then went up two, then back down 1 and now were really slow moving. I get after the initial water weight that can happen. But besides being scale discouraged, im starting to want to gag over the thought of eating eggs of any kind for breakfast anymore…

OMAD question
Hey all!! I do IF 7 days a week, and some days, like today, I eat once (dinner) my question is, do I need to worry about getting every macro covered in that one meal? Do I need to try and reach 1200 calories? I've read conflicting information. Also keep in mind I have about 75 pounds to lose still and I read that having…

I fell off the wagon... emotional eating. Venting- sorry.
I think I’ve been fighting a viral infection and yesterday did ++ exercise. My mood today was flat and the carbs have been sneaking back in, but I have started really overeating again ;I’m too embarrassed to say what). It’s linked to mood but also because I think I felt a little bread etc wouldn’t hurt. Now my appetite is…

Net Carbs vs. Carbs
Hi Everyone! I want to make sure I'm counting the right macros and I am relatively new to Keto. I started once before and was not seeing results. I am not tracking on MFP and realized that I was not seeing results because I was miscounting carbs. Can someone school me in what carbs to track? There is a HUGE difference and…

Longevity of cellular memory: Fat Adaptation
I was 'fat adapted' a couple, few times over the past couple of years and was wondering, mainly at Mr. FitGoat, how long does the body retain the ability to easily switch between high Carb and low carb? I'm curious because I'm finding myself very easily going in and out with very little problem. I'm also losing weight at a…

Kicked out of Ketosis?
Hello there. I've been following the Keto plan for 5 weeks now. I haven't had any cheat meals yet, and try to stay as close to 25 net carbs per day as I can. I did buy strips to monitor where I'm at and a couple of weeks ago I tested at "high/large" keto. Today, I tested at negative - no Ketosis. I looked at the last five…

Haters...
How do you respond to people who constantly put you down when you are trying to better yourself. I have several family members and friends who discourage me on a daily basis. I hear " it'll never work", "you'll just gain it all back in a month", "stop being stupid and just eat whatever you want". And sometimes I'm actually…

Hair loss and collagen
I’ve been on keto for about 7 months and my hair has really started to fall out, every time I shower there’s a good amount of hair sitting on the drain when I’m through. It’s gotten to the point that I’ve really noticed my hair thinning out. I like my thick hair, and as vain as it may sound, I’m getting married later this…

Keto/Low Carb Results using Dexafit Data

Something that has really allowed me to dig deeper in setting my next 4-5 month goals is testing done at a Dexafit facility. Today, I completed my 5-month Dexascan,…
