My NSV was being told by a good friend at church that her and another mutual friend had an entire conversation about how much smaller I look! I'll take it and BTW, the scale is not showing that. Just another nail in the coffin of letting the scale dictate your progress!

Search in groups for keto and/or Low Carb Daily Forum.

In addition to the thermostat, it could be a water pump. The worst is if you keep driving that way, depending on the car, you'll probably damage the head gasket and that's a money suck!

I've been maintaining weight and strength pretty good with LC (75-100g), but I want to shed some bf by my b-day in august. So my goals for this month (and next frankly). 1. 50g carb max (back to basics!) 2. workout 2x week on the road & 4x week at home.

Welcome Somora!

Way to go! One securely in the "win" column!!

right here!! ^^^

Amazing work everyone!! You are all inspirations!!

Great post! There is always an issue when someone projects what works for them onto others. Everyone needs to find there own path down the road. The basics are there, 20g or less carbs, protein for LBM and fat to fill in the gap. Also, I'm one that has to track intake or I will steadily gain regardless of way of eating.

Also you should follow ketocounterculture on IG if you don't. it's the co-host of the ketogenic athlete podcast (Danny). He post great food shots.

Me too: BigOgoesketo This is more my "keto-centric" account so I don't post as often, but I'm trying to do more.

So glad to not be alone!! :)

Nope

I have a few, but if I boil it down to one it's my Diet Dew! Everything else is sporadic and controllable, but my daily dew remains.

From a purely nerdy perspective, if I can't calibrate it, it's can not be precise. It may very well be accurate as far as repeating possibly wrong data, but most of what we are doing are estimates at best. If we could, in general, step back from attaching so much importance to that number and just use it as a tool, so many…

@nlwright4 It would be great to hear how you're doing! I do see your updates in my feed.

I hit an all time deadlift PR of 505x2! I've only deadlifted 500lbs once before in my life and last night I pulled 505lbs for a double!

My prayers to you and your family, I'm sorry for your loss!

We have one and absolutely love it!!! We air fry just about everything!!

Right here! Only thing missing here was a mic drop.

@anbastin When you consider 1g of fat is worth twice as many calories as 1g of protein then that makes sense. That being said, I do believe that the protein recommendation is a bit high. At 108lbs (49kg), your protein goal should be roughly 50-75g max.

Some form of caloric deficit will be required to "lose". Keto helps under performing metabolisms to work better and allows for burning of fat stores. IF there is too much fat on your plate, your body won't need to use what's on your body. Now the physiology of a lady is vastly more complicated then use grunts so I have…

Just know that coffee is way more than hot caffeine! There are some really stuff going on in that magic brew! ;) Like I said, stay the course and soon that fat burning energy will kick in and you won't need as much extra! Personally I workout in the evening so caffeine, in some form, is required for any real work to take…

Welcome to both of you ladies! Feel free to add me. I'll try to help where ever I can!

My advice would be to steer clear of the refeeds for now and just scale your training volume when needed. It is often suggested that you start keto during maybe a deload week or some other low in training. I didn't personally, I just supplemented with caffeine. :) The most important thing is to understand that, especially…

Welcome to all of the new comers! I wish you the best! I'm confident you'll get all of your questions answered around here!

Like the above post, I'll bleed diet dew if I'm stabbed and I have gained and lost. It is personal though. Keep that in the forefront of your mind while you introduce them and see how they affect you personally!

Happy for you! Please spread your story so people can be more confident in trusting the process!

Way to go mama!!!
