Before I started I had already lost about 3 kilos, then the first week after starting I lost 2 kilos but then everything changed the 2nd week, I gained 1.5 kg back and I thought it was no big deal at first but then came the 3rd week and again i gained…

Keto Kardio
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,…

Keto & Calorie Deficits (Exercise)
Okay so I did a bit of due diligence and scrolled through 4 of the pages of existing discussions and didn't see anyone quite discuss my questions so here goes. I was wondering people's opinion/experience with different calorie deficits on keto? I'm rounding out my second week on Keto and feel pretty fat-adapted (I know I…

Keto Help
Hello all! Today is Day 2 of me fully embracing Keto. I had much success before and lost ~40 lbs to hit goal weight right before getting pregnant. Whomp whomp. Lol. I put on about 45 lbs while pregnant (yikes!), quickly dropped 20 and then stalled. I know this works so I'm going back to it as it's the only WOE I've found…

Starting exercise on keto
Hi guys, I've been in ketosis over a month. Have lost 12lbs, and still have about 25lbs to lose. I wanted to introduce exercise in my regime. As I started with my program (30 mins cardio + 20 mins weight training) today, I distinctly felt dizzy. Just wanted to get some advice on best practices here. Definitely doubling up…

A question regarding IF for my clarity.
I'm fairly new to dieting and Keto specifically, and have had slow but steady fat loss since I started about 8 weeks ago. I have never been one for lots of carbs or sugary things, so sticking to my 20g carb limit has been fairly successful. I have maintained 20-30g carb limits most days, and never been over 50g. I also try…

Anyone have any experience going surplus on keto?
Hey everyone! I am new to this community and fairly new to lchf/keto, about 5 months. The reason I follow a keto lifestyle is not for the weight loss benefits, although my husband has lost 73lbs in 8month on keto, but I follow it for all the amazing health and healing benefits for your body. I have done a ton of research…

MFP recipe creator sucks
Hi, I'm a newbie to MFP and this group, and have not yet had a chance to peruse all the discussions, so was just wondering if there were any recommendations for a android/ desktop recipe app that ties in with MFP's option to create a recipe. Only being able to add ingredients to create a recipe on MFP really sucks, and…

Veggies ☘️
How many veggies do you eat on a daily basis and which are your go to‘s? Are they mainly salad vegetables or other vegetables as well to eat as sides? If you’re keeping carbs under 20 or even lower they add up so quickly and wanted to see which ones you pretty much stick with while keeping in ketosis. Happy Saint Patty‘s…

I just had to share this - Let's Nerd-out a bit
Video from a presentation of Dr. Benjamin Bikman Insulin vs. Ketone - The Battle for Brown Fat - runs about 30 min. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t1JN0RgvO4 Probably one of the best descriptions and presentations on the underlying science driving this magic we know as Ketosis! Enjoy!

What brand of scale do you use?
I'm looking for recommendations because just this morning my digital gave me 4 very different weights, one right after another, within 2 minutes. 236, 237.5, 240.5, 238. (Personally I like the lowest one ;) ) I tested it with my husband (keto'er too) and he showed 2 different weights too. I don't really have a price limit…

If you are looking at my food diary
Please know I’m not counting (most days) the 7-10 cups of salad/approved veggies per day. Dr. Berg is who I follow and says no need to count those in your daily carbs. Your body needs these to cut down the fat on the liver or you’ll end up with a fatty liver plus you need the potassium they have and of course nutrients and…

Which one you would like to add to your coffee? If I add milk its lower the fat intake but if I add milk is has sugar. Not sure what would be the best case for me? I am trying to reduce my fat intake to speed up the fat loss. Thanks in advance for your advice!

keto tacos just rocked my world
Ok, I have been doing Keto since the first week of January and have lost about 15 lbs so far. I'm ok with the slower weight loss as I only needed to lose about 25 lbs. I've done HCG in the past and lost the 25 lbs, and managed to keep it off for 2+ years, but maintaining that way of eating was difficult and I felt…
