Anyone else feel less lean?
I want to lean out but I feel like I'm not. I've been eating like this for 2 weeks and expect more changes. My stomach isn't as firm and seems softer then when I was eating higher protein and lower fats. I workout everyday and do weights and what not. Maybe my body is burning the fat I eat instead of my stored body fat…

Eating too many calories?

Keto & high blood pressure.
Me and hubby will start on March 1st. We are pre-keto for this week. (Eating all the fruit in the house and getting more protein and fat in). I have been reading blogs, articles and every post here.

Often times I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing...
To intro I work out 3-4 times a week. Active career as a vb coach/trainer. I lift decently heavy. I've been following a cutting diet of 2:1 protein to carb macros for a few years. It's worked, but I had difficulty with energy levels. Carb cycling was the only real option, but it got daunting, so I took a break from it all.…

Hi! New here, friends wanted!
Hi all, I'm new here and would love friends also doing keto! I'm generally very focused on nutrition and fitness, but in the fall/winter last year I had some really stressful stuff going on and was sick, and I was still usually low-carb but I found myself eating crap more and more often, and I've gotten sort of flabby. =)…

Macros, how do they work?!
/wave Hello, I'm new to keto and low carb (seriously I love bread and pasta). I've been doing okay for almost three weeks but I feel like I rarely hit the fat percentage right. Protein is fine and I usually stay under 15-20 carbs. Anyone willing to look at my diary and give me some pointers? It would be much appreciated!

Water weight from excess sugar?
So I ate a ton of sugar and bad stuff the last three days and now my thighs are huge. They are already muscular to begin with but they get even bigger from water weight I am assuming. Is this from extra glycogen being refilled as to why they bulked up? What's the best way to get them back down to normal size?

Endurance athletes: what's the food you take during long events?
At present, I do a lot of ultra cycling: think distances of 200 km to be completed in 13.5 hours total time (audaxing, randonneuring). I've been on keto for a year now. Last weekend I took part in the Dunwich Dynamo and really spectacularly crashed (food wise) on the latter part of the ride. In contrast, two weeks earlier,…
