Exercise: cardio and strength training?
Does exercise speed up weight loss? Would cardio or strength training make fat loss faster? I know building muscle will ADD weight to my body, but will that muscle burn more fat? And is it possible to gain muscle at a calorie deficit, because I don't wanna eat more to sustain working out. I was thinking I should focus on…

Keto and Torani or Skinny Girl syrup
I searched but could not find anything matching. I was wondering how the community feels about these syrups? I know no sugary products is better but occasionally we want to have caramel flavor or..I spied some really neat ones at TJMaxx today. They have sucralose and say no sugar, sugar alcohols. Thanks.

Not the Keto Flu - the Flu Flu. :(
Ugh. Started Keto recently and had a great first week (in many ways it's not so different from Whole30 concepts so the slide into the more dramatic keto wasn't super hard) and was really on my way, those keto sticks were turning pink... no real keto flu that tweaking my magnesium and potassium didn't fix. And then 8 days…

With classes, work, studying, and commuting I stay pretty busy and once I leave in the morning I don't usually return home till the evening. If any of you are on the same boat and have any advice,…

Keto is exasperating
It’s been 10 days since I started this crazy diet I find myself exasperated with trying to make the macros numbers. Hovering between 20-25 net carbs and inevitably go over on protein by 10 and under fats by 10. Ive read that the fat/protein allocation is okay. But these carbs numbers! What the heck? I don’t eat fruit,…

Trust the process
Hi all, I'm new to Keto and have found that this way of eating could very well be sustainable for me so far. I'm not a big sugar eater and actually prefer savory foods rather than sweet. I also think it's wonderful that I can feel satiated with meals that i do eat and it actually holds me over to the next meal while eating…

52 Pounds Down and Counting

I only started February 19th and lost a lot in just the first 2 weeks, but weight has been coming off steadily the past month and a half. So excited to keep going! My husband has…

Protein Overage
Lately I’ve been going over protein sometimes by 15 or 20 g and under my fat grams about the same number. My carbs I keep consistently under 20 and recently between 10 and 15 per day.That being said I’ve cut back on vegetables lately because they add up so quickly in carb counts. Do you guys find it bad when adding a…

But I have GAINED weight in the last two weeks. I reincorporated my bootcamp workouts and soccer in the beginning of week two, and since then have gained…

Is there a way to calc net carb in MyFitnessPal?
Is there a way to calc net carb in MyFitnessPal? I can set the macro, but it calc the gross carb and doesn't subtract the fiber, which looks like I'm over.

Keto-Mojo
Anyone else using this Ketone meter as a measuring device? Just got mine today. Pumped about the ketone level but might look to adjust a little to bring it down a bit by adding some more protein.

Help with Protein
I've been doing keto for right at 6 weeks now and my weight-loss has been going great. Due to my size and pain threshold, I haven't been working out a lot, but I'm down enough now that I've added more cardio, as well as strength training. In the past when I've lost a lot of weight I ate high protein because I was spending…

How can I stick to keto for longer than a couple weeks?
I've been doing keto on and off for a couple months. I have a problem with sticking to it for longer than a couple weeks. I will do extremely well for about two weeks and then I'll lose all discipline and just binge eat. I feel guilty immediately afterwards and I think that I'll never do it again but it continues to…

During the warmup phase of cardio I’m seeing some high heart rates but I get it uder control after a minute or two. Not sure if it’s a lack of glucose available for the effort or something else. Anyone else experience this?

Why do people hate keto when it works so well?
I just posted on the motivation threads, asking people to join me in making a pledge to keep to whatever diet plan they are trying to keep to, for 2 weeks, and the ONLY responses I have had so far are people who want to berate me about my chosen diet. Why are people like this? Surely on MFP they should rejoice that someone…

8 hour fast?
Is it even worth it? I want to do OMAD, but it's inconvenient for me to have a big 2 hour meal in the middle of my workday. Lately I've been eating around 10am and again around 7-8. Is this somewhat beneficial? Or is it just like having a normal eating window (all day basically)? I can't eat a large meal in the morning,…
