OK, now you are making inaccurate claims - there are veggies on keto. There are less fruits for sure and no legumes and tubers, but keto is all for leafy green veggies. Plant based keto is totally possible, so I don't know where you get those "facts". What is standard keto? And according to whom? This thread, although a…

Somatotypes are dubunked as the attempt to associate appearance with character, but they are usable for describing the body's shape. I use it in that context only. It is funny how people take on one word of a paragraph and run with it

Three years ago I did lose 60 pounds doing a standard diet of chicken breasts and veggies, oats, yogurt and blueberries, protein shakes (high protein, moderate to high carbs, low fat) and split my 1500 calories into 3 meals and two snacks (gym culture claimed you need protein every two to 3 hours or your muscles would…

Hemp hearts, sardines, whey isolate protein, egg whites

Keto does not mean unchecked eating. You will still gain weight if you are in caloric surplus. Many find themselves feeling more satiated or with less appetite, so they don't eat as much and as often on keto. Stable blood sugar levels makes you less prone to ravenous hunger that typical caloric restriction tends to cause.…

High protein makes it an Atkins diet whose goal is not to put you in a state of ketosis. Nutritional ketosis actually aims to put you in ketosis, which requires protein moderation.

In the abundance of protein it will be favored to be broken down to glucose. The metabolic process is simpler and faster. I have no issue with my body breaking down fats. I just don't want it to go into muscles and other protein sources. Also on keto I can easily go 16-24 hours without food (longevity and autophagy are…

Plant based keto is quite possible - MCT oil, coconut oil, macadamia nuts, brazil nuts, avocado, hemp and chia seeds, pea protein, kalamata olives and olive oil, leafy greens, asparagus, nutritional yeast, green tea and coffee all fit in a vegan keto lifestyle. I like my eggs, bone broth, bacon and ground beef way too much…

just google myfitnesspal net carbs. There is a browser addon, that you install and then there is a script. It adds net carbs to your macros. This is on PC. Not sure if it will work on a smartphone

1200 calories is way too low. For a male the minimum is 1800. Slowing down metabolism due to low calories is a thing and will lead to a yo-yo effect, once you go back to what your normal meals look like. Women can go lower, but not below 1200. Drastic caloric restrictions do not work long term. Try increasing activity…

Well, it depends why you are considering keto... In my case (insulin resistance -history of diabetes in the family too, obesity, sedentary lifestyle) keto lends itself nicely. Be warned though that if you have an eating disorder keto is not for you and you should look at Paleo instead. Also to regulate weight you can use…

One more vote for Suzie's Good Fats bar. Offtopic: protein bars make me crave sweets, so my go to is an ounce of macadamia nuts, or matcha tea (green tea works too) with Stevia. Worst case scenario - half a square of 100% unsweetened baking chocolate. Tastes like chalk, but stops food cravings for hours

My story is quite similar to OP - losing 60 pounds on MFP, job burnout and job loss, "happy pills"... weight came back. Excuses and lack of willpower issues... Fast forward two years and I am back on MFP with keto and IF. My 2 cents: For the keto flu - complete multivitamin (with food), Himalayan pink salt on everything,…

Started keto myself. Do's: 1. Eat plenty of healthy fats (like 80%) - MCT Oil, Coconut Oil, Ghee or Butter, Avocados, nitrate-free bacon, eggs, Macadamia nuts, Beef Bone broth, Kalamata Olives, Sardines, Herrings, Salmon (in moderation due to high mercury unless wild-caught). Look for foods whose fat contents surpasses the…

Hi NJDad, I'm 41 and started a month ago. I'm partial to P90X3 (a 30 minutes version of P90X), my core is quite weak after years of neglecting my body, so I'm working on that - planks, side planks, pushups, squats, resistance bands training. I'm yet to join a gym for some iron and cable training. T25 is quite focused on…

I'm 5'10, 220 pounds, looking to go down to 170, maybe 160. I'm on day 17, having lost 11 pounds so far on MFP. Working out helps a ton with weight loss. Having friends, or coworkers, that are in the same boat helps even more - I'm lucky to have a buddy who got down to 170 and he looks great, so in my mind I wonder how…

Count me in too. I started my journey at 253 pounds, aiming for 170. So my goal is to lose 85 pounds. I kicked off my weight loss with a diet and lost 25 pounds. I wasn't working out and at one point got disheartened because I wasn't seeing progress fast enough. Two weeks after I started dieting I gave in to my cravings,…
