Esupplements.com and luckyvitamin.com are my favorite. If y'all shop at GNC, they price match bodybuilding :)

And why does this seem so? Doesn't seem logical to ask a question I know a response to. I'm a personal trainer, not a nutritionist. Perhaps you aren't aware of an appropriate scope of practice. Again, thank YOU for the sarcastic remark. You "internet insulters" obviously have too much time on your hands. Have a blessed day.

Even with the increased sodium from fat, I'm still pretty non bloated. Primarily the best carbs that do it to be, potatoes and pastas. But, those are the only carbs I care for specifically. So I'd rather lose weight and get lean and ditch the rest:) I do have the occasional fruits and such but nothing heavy.

I appreciate your input, but you don't have to be rude in any way shape or form on my thread. Everyone's body is different, and it's obviously taking time to adapt and learn the best way to handle my new eating habits. You can't say something "apparently isn't the best option" because of a challenge that comes with…

Wel, I'm a trainer and supposed to stay in top notch shape. Lol. I got to 152 and carbs make me bloat like crazy. It was a good option for me I believe.

I try to stay around 95-100g per day! Sometimes I do eat less than though

I did tons of research for diets prior to the decision and I'm seeing progress so it's definitely worth the challenge. The energy is just the most challenging. Was hoping it would improve going into week 4 but I am very busy so I can see why it might take a tad bit longer.

I'm going to go and look up those items on amazon now! Thanks for all your help. I'm assuming you are on low carb as well? How long did you body take to adapt?

That's definitely some good insight. I tried increasing sodium but not the magnesium and potassium. Perhaps I will try all that and give it some more time. Guess I'll just be jacked up on Red Bull's until my body reacts the way it needs to. Working out has been the most challenging. Swallowing pride and decreasing weight,…

I just hated how bloated I would get for carbs, being a trainer, I have to stay in top notch shape. I got up to 152, primarily being muscle but gaining some excess stomach fat. I figured decreasing carbs was the best way.

100g definitely wasn't that bad for me. I just don't want to slow down my progress. I initially wanted to go keto, to use fat for energy vs carbs. I planned to move to 20g perhaps maybe the next two weeks or so. At that point, I would imagine it being a tad bit easier? Or, should my body already be using fat for energy…

Electrolytes are your friend! Stay away from rice/potatoes :) (you can buy propel packets, zero carbs to add to your water. Make sure you are getting sufficient amounts of sodium. Eggs are your best go to for breakfast. Healthy amount of fats and you can add anything to it! If you workout, add your carbs to your morning…

I had sweet potato casserole and knocked me Outttt! When you say "knocked you off ketosis", how did your body react? How did you know your body left ketosis? Or are you speaking just craving in general

Thank you so much!

I'll be looking into the website, and I've read that very similar statement about magnesium online! Thanks for the support

What are myprotein flavor drops? Are they in store??

Lime juice would be wonderful as well. Thanks for the suggestion

Yes! Same for myself. But the goal is keto. I've gradually decreased carbs day in, day out. It's the best way to go. Good luck!

Vanilla extract? Or what type of vanilla for the cheesecake fluff?

That sounds great as well! I never thought about mixing the beef and eggs. Thanks!

This sounds unhealthily delicious

Thanks for the sodium insight. I didn't understand it's importance, until today. Thanks!

Sounds so great! Send more if interested!

I'm definitely aware as to why I'm posting this! :) Trying to get my options together. Done tons of research. I was getting upper 200's of carbs prior so I'm easing my way.

Yes ma'am!

Do you own one of these? Lol

Thanks for your response! Hopefully I can kick my butt in gear. Just gotta make a few changes in the schedule. Especially with foods

I'm starting the bedtime thing tonight! Hopefully that will start helping. I'm famous for the snooze button and need to break that habit. Thanks so much

I usually stick to preworkout right before I head to the gym:) the hardest thing is not pressing the snooze button, you should look into that alarm rug as well!

This is AWESOME! I tried this once and still missed the gym (this was the beginning of my fitness lifestyle) but I'm sure it would help as well
