This may be for you, then. :) https://www.reddit.com/r/vegetarianketo

I exclusively pump and they say for every ounce it's 20 calories burned. For breastfeeding, however, I'm not terribly sure. Perhaps you could Google how much toddlers consume on average for ounces in breastmilk and go from there?

I just said my friends are athlete buffs and plenty of people in competitive sports are eating low carb/keto. I'm trying to remember this one guy's name, he's a football player, he was advocating it once too some time back. Swimmers and runners, too. Check out /r/ketogains sometime. You'll see what I mean. Why do you say…

I have friends who have been living this lifestyle for 5+ years. They're perfectly fine. I've seen how they eat and it's not hard. Skip chips, potatoes, high sugary things, et cetera. I've already faced making my son's birthday cake, getting the ice cream for the party, everyone eating macaroni and cheese, but I didn't…

I started last Monday and I honestly feel amazing! I stay under 15g net carbohydrates. I’ve honestly felt very energetic, alert, and on the go, which is great considering I’m a mother of three with a three month old as the youngest, haha! Have you been weighing your food and sticking to serving sizes to ensure you’re not…

Can't socialize? What? You couldn't say no to mashed potatoes, fries, or bread? Go out to eat - get a burger wrapped in lettuce, get a steak with a side of broccoli, get a chicken salad with dressing on the side (Caesar is my favorite and only 1g net carb), et cetera. I'm only a week in and can tell you for a fact that…

That's not fact.

Please join us at Reddit.com/r/Keto! Tons of information to be found, a great community, and plenty of links filled with information. Read the FAQ and other things. Also! Use this calculator: http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/. It will help you find your macros. Put your activity to sedentary and I put my protein to the…

I started on Monday and log every day, all meals, snacks, water intake, supplements, et cetera. I'm in this way of eating for the long-run (permanently) and would be happy to join anyone else! I've sent you a request OP and to anyone else, please don't hesitate to send me a request!

I understand eating disorders. I have one. I've also been told this way of eating helps eventually suppress those urges, cravings, addictions, et cetera because you deny the brain the chemical necessary to cause those things. So just by introducing the chemicals back into the body, you just fan the flame of dependency,…

What is the point of cheating? Isn't this way of eating supposed to be getting away from foods that aren't good for our bodies and eating what's best? Why take a "cheat" day? That would be like someone who is quitting smoking or drinking to take a celebratory smoke/drink because they've made it xyz amount of days without…

I think the people don't want newbies to get the idea that they can just go on their urges to eat. Someone who comes onto the diet fresh from the SAD will eat whenever, still feeling the urges to snack when they aren't really hungry. So if you're not keto-adapted, I doubt just eating whenever will do anyone any good. I'm…

What the heck? Where did you get that? She had an injury. Sometimes when you're injured, you don't always get to eat what you want - or eat what's best depending on what pain medication you're on.

Low protein, high fat wouldn't be the Ketogenic Diet anyway, so that's perfect. Ketogenic is very low carb, moderate protein, high fat. Here is a calculator to use for your macros! http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

By not consuming carbohydrates, the body uses fats as fuel instead, which causes one to lose mass. Protein consumption is important to not lose muscle mass and for the body to use as glucose for organ function.

Thank you very much!

The goal isn't the carb count! It's to try to remain below it. You could honestly consume 0 carb and be fine and dandy. The important macros are the fats (for fuel and satiety) and protein (to prevent muscle loss and other functions). Try this calculator! :) http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

You can use this calculator to try it out! http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ My fats are 100g, but I don't have to consume all 100g. The priority while losing mass is to ensure I get close to my protein goal of 75g as to prevent muscle loss and consume the fats for satiety and fuel. Honestly, I could go completely 0 carb,…

I have a few friends who have been doing the Ketogenic Diet for 5+ years and I have been curious about it for some time. I'm not good at explaining the why's or how it works other than information from /r/Keto and and /r/Ketoscience. In a nutshell, it's redirecting the fuel source for your body to be fat instead of carbs.…

Which post are you referring to? I have joined the site recently and will begin this WOE on Monday, but I am curious as to which topic you posted that is getting downvoted? It's not always the members voting, either. I'm a member of other Subs and there are bots that will automatically upvote or downvote for some reason.

I will definitely add you! I will be able to start using my MFP on Monday! Open Diary and will be submitting information daily, as well. My stats are: F/25/5'3" with a starting weight at 170lb, but I will be seeing what my weight is on Monday and adjust as such. I'm hoping to get down to 110lb or 115lb. My daily Macros and…

My Pinterest contains recipes for low carb diets. https://www.pinterest.com/brittneykmd/ It's alphabetized, so look for the Ketogenic Diet sections. I have them broken up into categories. My grandmother is diabetic and I had actually made her many of the recipes on there before deciding to go low carb myself for health…
