Net carbs is simply total carb grams less fiber grams. That being said, on keto, I count total carb grams, not net.

Glad to hear that you're owning it. Hopefully you tracked it to know exactly what it did to your carb counts. That can be very powerful. For me the "I deserve it" mindset is one that I have to continually guard against, as it can lead me far astray. When I start to have that thought, I re-frame it to "I deserve to be fit…

In all my keto research, I have always seen the recommendation to strictly count all carbs rather than doing the net carb equation.

I follow a keto way of eating, so that level of fat seems light to me. I'm used to seeing target fat grams higher than target protein grams. Are you subscribing to a particular way of eating, or just going for low carb overall? For me, as long as I'm eating fattier cuts of meat, the protein, the fat and calories tend to…

In addition to the suggestions by youngmomtaz, there are tuna pouches that are easy to pack and while I don't love the idea of canned meats, you could try the canned chicken, which I believe can also be found in a pouch. For the evening communal meal, you could certainly see if they are willing to leave some of the protein…

Thanks for sharing this. I enjoy Dr. Attia's blog. As I read it, it's his assertion in this blog post that some people in ketosis can lose weight (fat) without creating a deficit, but I think he believes this to be a smaller proportion of people, while more people need to create a deficit (presumably from reducing intake…

I think you are missing her point. She is not necessarily saying she snacks every two hours, but that rather her meals are snack-sized (likely compared with the size of the meals she used to eat or that most people who are not keto eat). I agree, as, thought I only eat three meals a day (with a 12 to 14 hour fast from…

So True! I'm amazed at how little food (amount-wise) that it takes me to feel satiated. That is the difference when you are eating nutrition-dense foods. I think this is particularly eye-opening for Americans, as we have become accustomed to these enormous portions of food (hence our increasing obesity rates) and are…

This is great! Thanks for sharing. I wish more doctors would start subscribing to this way of thinking, and of course speak up about it, as this group of doctors has.

Thanks for sharing this blog. I enjoyed it and will add it to my regular reading list.

For me, even if I have enough carbs within my carb allowance, I find that wine stalls my fat burning. I've tried pinot noir (my fave), merlot and cabernet and they all seem to stall me out. I then need at least 2 to 3 days before I start losing again. YMMV, but for me, at this time, it's not worth it. Once I get to…

Have you clicked the 'All discussions' link below the dozen or so threads that appear once you open the group? That brings up all the threads. I'm new and a lurker mainly, but I think there a ton of threads a a lot of great activity here.
