So I should just install it and restart the window right? I did that and still carbs are being showed as is- I mean it's not a big deal to subtract fiber out of carbs since I already have those columns displayed.

Lol yeah I was just saying that to make it sound fun haha

Never let anyone tell you that women shouldn't do weight lifting. Strong lifts 5x5 is a very good beginner program and you should do it but eat at maintenance. Just do it for the first 6 months. You will be pleased by the results if you are dedicated and eat at maintenance. This doesn't mean you will stop logging. You…

Oh thanks. That's good to know -it just came to my mind and wanted to confirm. Based on that I'm still lower than 50g carbs a day.

Don't some people on here talk about how carbs keep them full for longer and then some say about fats and then protein? If one is in a deficit- one simply cannot or rather shouldn't be able to gain weight because if they do -then it nulls the CICO. I don't eat like that I was just contemplating a theory lol

From your stats-I'm not expert but it seems to me that you should start eating at maintenance and do strength training twice a week. Upper-lower split with compound movements. It seems you are already in a healthy range and if you've never done strength training in your life before- you'd gain muscle and lose fat at the…

Guys does MFP deduct fiber from Carbs and then display daily carb intake at the bottom or not? Because if it doesn't then it means I'm at 40g carbs a day -if does then i'm at 63g

I think counting calories is one category and people who divide food in "good" "bad" categories are different as well. Both lose weight because well CICO and the other ones divide good vs bad. If there is a category there are "more" likely "chances" you'd lose weight because well you can't keep on gorging copious amount of…

Ok thanks. Another question. What happens if I'm unable to keep carbs below 60g but still most of my calories are coming from fats and protein 60% fat and 25% protein. I won't be ketosis but I'd still manage to use energy from fats or that only and only happens in Ketosis?

Couple of questions 1 Keto gains dude says carbs should be lower 30 grams - does that mean I never went in Keto? cuz mine was always around 50 2Now I'm over 50 around 60 - I will try my extremely best to stay under 100 but is it ever possible to stay in ketosis while being close to 100? 3What happens if carbs and fats both…

Also I hope you guys don't mind me maintaining a journal. I appreciate all your advice and I like to learn every chance I get. From my understanding - this fat diet should be very good in body re-composition because I'll be losing fat and maintaining muscle. So until I start another deficit- this should give me some…

My family is giving me looks because from a guy who lost all this weight is going to gain it all back by eating fats.

I bought fat oriented stuff today. How much of my life I've eaten food without dressings just to avoid "Fat" . KFC chicken tasted awful without skin - I used to pay extra for skinless chicken when I was non-vegetarian. Beef I used to cut of the fat, same for lamb and all. Pizza was very little dip, never opted for extra…

and oh! I still doubt myself when I eat dressings because I've been brain-washed by myself through media learnings that fat is un-healthy. So sometimes I pour a spoon of Ranch and then take it back and then put it back on because I need calories. Right now I've increased flax seed oil from 1 tbsp to 2 -which gives me…

I'm at close to maintenance diet now until July 10 Now something strange is happening. I'm losing bf% without any droppage in weight. I understand that scale body fat is inaccurate but that has never happened before lol Went from 18.4 to 18.1% lol never happened before. Also it's such a small change could be just a glass…

Anyone knows how can I create a filter that would show me highest fats, lowest carbs ? Whenever I change one the other flips. When I apply my learnings from YouTube on to this excel it goes blank on me during advance filter creation. I clicked on fliter in fats tab and sorted it largest to smallest -then carbs moved along…

My main concern is not gaining fat that's about it. I'd still be eating same food just little bit more amount. Also I don't think I'd be able to eat a lot more. I'd just stay around at 2500 or so and full on strength training. Thanks all- just wanted to confirm -to make sure I don't unnecessarily gain fat because I still…

So i'm done. Here's my progress pictures. Obviously I need to drop another 10-12 lbs to be labelled "ripped". I was getting desperate at this point but then a light bulb went off in my head that I went from 200lbs in 2009 to 230lb in 2016. So it took me that long to gain 30 lbs I should give myself some time to lose at…

oh damn! thanks btw though my calories kept changing. Started from 2300 then 2200 then 2100 then 2000 then 1900 and for last 21 days I was at 1500. Last 21 days were also HFLC diet and I dropped 10 lbs from that. So how does the formula work for fluctuating calories? Do I average them out and use that number instead? Also…

I'm looking go on maintenance until July 10 (3 weeks)because I have had no cheat meals or cheat days since Jan 9 and have been in continuous deficit. I still have 10 lbs to drop (should be able to do it before the end of August) my last before I go in maintenance until Nov 30. I would have almost 1000 calories to eat for…

2 days to go Same weight today. This week I did not work out. Well I did boxing sessions and low intensity 200 calories cardio everyday in evening. I'll be doing some full body workout tomorrow before my pictures.

Also for my last 10-15 lbs if I stay at 1800-2000 cals a day- would I continue to lose weight even though I am "used" to 1500 cals a day now?

So my maintenance according to scooby calorie calculator is 2700-2900 based on TDEE. Lol I don't even know how I'll eat that much it seems now because I'm not that hungry anymore lol Workouts would get wonderful again. Also, I did LCHF diet for 21 days -so I know water weight will be huge gain.

Yes, it was for this last 3 weeks. So from June 17 until June 26 i'm suggested to take a deficit break and eat at maintenance. I know there will be water gain- i just want to ensure I don't end up doing something stupid.

Take progress pics and whenever you fade - look at them. Also motivation gets you moving. Just commit to one healthy act and stick to it that's it. Make it a habit . Sow an thought, reap an act Sow an act, reap a habit Sow a habit, reap a character Sow a character and reap a Destiny. Alright, good luck!

Should've mentioned that I won't be doing it now- it'll be once the contest is over lol Yes it will be stupid doing it right now. I was also on hypo caloric diet. 1500 a day which I would like to bump up to 1800 or so I can start working out like a normal person again. Right now the lifts are mediocre at best. I read…

I mean I will still do it for the last 3 days. Am I even in Ketosis? is there a way to test without getting those sticks (people say they are unreliable) I will also keep my carb intensive meals either before workout or right after workout. I'm already at 30-50g carbs a day-never exceeded 50 since I started. 21 days in…

Dropped 10lbs in last 17 days , you don't think that's due to high fat low carb diet? Also, my carbs were always less than 50 and more than 30g a day. I just couldn't get them any lower. For another last 10lbs I will continue high fat diet but I'm raising my calories to 1600-1800 -so I can do proper workouts. Even in…

This is what I wanted to avoid, I knew it was going to happen but wanted to make sure it was as little as possible.

3 days to go 191.8 lbs today. So in 21 days I dropped 10 lbs- goal was 15 but I was able to drop 2% of BF. If I were on my regular food as in non-ketosis -I would've dropped 4-6lbs I think. For the last 10lbs (goal weight of 180) . I'll most likely be sticking with this diet. It's hard for me to sustain high fat because…
