Those 13 pounds are definitely noticeable! Great job!

Yes, thats it i believe. Im at work so i cant bring it up but it should be named "optimal keotgenic living".

I was referring to the optimal ketogenic living fb group!!! not this group obviously! As with anything, the opinion of optimal macros are like *kitten*.....

I go by the chart thats posted in the group, so i try to stay at the low end of that range since im in weight loss mode. But at this point, generally my protein is 100-120g and fat between 60-80g. Prior to decreasing the fat and increasing my protein, i wasn't gaining but i wasn't losing either. I increased my protein and…

Im glad you found it useful. In this group the consensus is that your fat shouldn't be higher than your protein in grams when your in weightloss mode because your eating fat but you also want your body to use the fat it already has to burn. If your eating a ton of fat theres no reason for your body to burn the fat from…

Also, do a search for "optimal keto living" on facebook, thats a great group with lots of helpful info based on research.

How have you determined what your macros should be? Here's a calculator if needed http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ but i use the macros…

just like you said, paleo isn't low carb unless you make it that way. You can have starchy veggies, fruits, honey, maple syrup etc and make it completely not low carb. And a lot of people eat low carb but aren't eating whole foods. If your eating manufactured low carb candies, cookies, cakes etc thats completely not paleo.…

I've made fake me out brownies just blending up the dates with the cocoa powder (i do it until it tastes right) and then i add in walnuts. They taste just like fudgey brownies! heres a basic recipe http://detoxinista.com/2014/06/raw-brownie-bites-vegan-paleo/

I've used this one and they taste just like pancakes made with white flour. http://paleomg.com/lemon-raspberry-pancakes/ there are also more crepe like pancakes made with basically just cream cheese and eggs that I like when im trying to avoid carbs. They're also really good, in my opinion…

No explanation but i experience the same thing. The 1200 calories on here doesn't work for me. When i eat closer to 1700 calories I lose weight without being any where near hungry and love it! I eat paleo/primal
