Definitely starting with walking is perfect. Bad weather? Go to the mall. Invest in a decent pair of sneakers with maybe an insert if needed for extra comfort. Don't forget if you have a dog, taking them walking is a win/win for both (:

A warning for doing low carb/keto though is the "keto flu" you might encounter though.

There's nothing wrong with low carb, been doing it for about a year now. I'll be happy to show my bloodwork from the past?

I do something similar in where I am the type of person who can eat the same thing everyday and not lose my taste for it so I almost always know what I'll end up tracking. It does make it easier.

Yeah I agree as a guy and being 6'2 it's funny that I can get away with about 1.8k calories and still drop weight whereas my gf has to stay around 1.2-1.3, hah.

N=1 as always, but my serum cholesterol went down, my HDL went up and LDL went down with keto. I have the paperwork somewhere if you'd like to see?

Yea I think I might've misread it too, it's a Saturday and after the Holidays, so I will blame that (: Yeah I worded my reply wrong in that "more than likely not occur" should have been supplemented with that you said in that the extent would not be as big.

Gluconeogenesis would more than likely not occur in someone not on keto, because they're getting plenty of carbs from the foods they already eat. Unless someone is fasting and they suddenly ingest a large amount of protein.

What do you not like about what I've posted? You've posted nothing thus far except personal criticism. Also, once again I shall stress the N=1 thing, which if it flew over your head, means my personal experience. My experience was backed up with what I've read.

Hey thanks! I'm all for people doing what they wanna do, and if people want to keep eating what they like and still lose weight, rock on.

Giving it a quick look through The whey protein (WPI), can't tell if the I in the WPI stands for isolate or not, which should be noted as whey protein and whey protein isolate are different, which is different from WPH. As welll as the WPH giving a bigger increase in the amount of response. A few other details seem to be…

I am having trouble reading what you asked, which is a fault definitely on my part. Are you asking about insulin spikes in non-keto people when eating protein?

Here's another source for gluconeogenesis and whatnot. http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/62/5/1371.full

Thinking those sites can't be reputable because one is a giant online discussion community and the other has a certain word in it even though both have studies and sources. H'okay buddy. You do you and I'll do me. Here's the studies in the reddit link for those viewing. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/182420…

Hypothyroid male diagnosed about 10 +/- 1 year(s) ago. I've recently dropped from 225-230 down to as low as about 165. I take 150 mcg of levothyroxine daily. It's possible.

Here's a few things I've read in the past, which may or may not be relevant to your question but still things related to my n=1. http://www.ketotic.org/2012/08/if-you-eat-excess-protein-does-it-turn.html?m=1 http://caloriesproper.com/dietary-protein-does-not-negatively-impact-blood-glucose-control/…

Yes I've read that already. And from everything I've read it's only in very large amounts. But nonetheless I used the meter after drinking a protein shake (whey isolate). Nothing out of the norm happened, just the regular small spikes I'd get with any other food. Of course, again, this is all n=1. It's all just calories in…

When I was younger I would eat PB 'n cheetos sandwhich, amazing.

N=1, cut way back on sugar and carbs in general a la Keto. Never felt better, weight just fell off. When I want something sugary I eat/bake those dreaded "frankenfoods" with those dreaded "fake" sugars that don't spike my BG levels.
