I've been keto for almost exactly 3 Mo and I have lost 30 lbs, so averaging 10 a month

@SamandaIndia Just read through most of this thread, and it sounds like we had/have very similar issues. Any time I would eat fruits/veggies, raw nuts and hand full of other foods, my lips would swell, my nose would run, throat constricted and break out in wheals on my hands and fingers. I ended up at an allergist for…

Started 2nd week of Feb SW - 242 CW - 209.6 GW (initial) - 170 (13% BF) GW (2nd) - 185 I actually weigh daily. It helps me keep accountable to myself. The second goal is my planned keto "bulk", after I kill the fat, that involves a lot of pick things up and put them down. I know my lean mass (148 lbs) due to regular bod…

There is a flask I could use, but I would rather be upfront with my drinking then trying to hide it...there is definitely going to be diet coke there I'm seriously considering it, I do have to be careful though, since bourbon and I get along a little too well. @slimzandra - Thank you for the lists! I am leaning to bud lite…

Thank you @thebuffster40 , I'm super excited!

Thanks! Since I went keto in Feb, its been an incredible pace! Hopefully I run right through my goal weight

I think I figured out what works for me!

Going to have to buy a new belt soon, on the last notch of the belt I have had for about 2 years now. Inches are dropping as well as the weight!

Emphasis mine Is no one else picking up on this? This is severely disordered eating. The OP's definition for eating "crazy" is regular, consistent meals. Almost everyone in this group eats regular consistent meals and is still able to lose weight in a healthy manner. My "polite" opinion is that you have been banned from…

@peabean26 @KnitOrMiss I was hoping another woman would jump in on this, but ohh well. I'm 95% sure the standard medical advice is about 500 kcal extra PER DAY for a breastfeeding mom. I think you should do a bit of research and make sure you're eating enough kcal to stay healthy at this point.

My favorite food truck, made LCHF.

Feel free to add me as well

Women also dont have the test in their bodies to "get big" like men, unless they start on the needle, but that's a whole other discussion. 100% Agree

That makes perfect sense, and is a common goal. Heavy compound lifts will get you there the fastest (if you can do them, I remember something about injuries in your posts), and maybe a slight caloric deficit, or just keep on keeping on as it seems to be working for you. Body transformation is a slow process, don't give up…

You have to remember, you are attempting to simultaneously engage your body in two contradictory metabolic processes. To lose fat, you need to be in a caloric deficit, but to actually build muscle, the body needs a slight caloric surplus. The way that people have done it in the past is to get into cyclical diets, for…

I just got into super dark (85% and up) chocolate with all natural peanut butter on top. It's amazing and it kills my sweat tooth

I count every day. Like @RalfLott said, information is power. When I first started, I went as far as to find a local BodPod in my area and get my body fat done so I have a more accurate number to base my calories on (its all based on 148 lbs of lean mass). I dont have hard numbers I stay under, but I do have ranges. Carbs…

Went and got my body fat measured with a Bod Pod today. Lost 2.9% (9.7 lbs) of body fat and gain 1 lb of lean mass! Went in December when I wanted to get a starting point, but didnt realy start the diet and exercise until 6 weeks ago. Im very excited to see the progress on paper.

Please add me as well. I went full Keto last Sunday

I take Krav Maga classes 4 times a week, which includes at least one sparring and or ground fighting class. Lift 1-2x a week and walk an average of 2 miles total back and forth to work.

B- 32 Coffee, 1 truvia packet L- 1 Slice Meetza, 6oz chicken thigh and peas D - Steak and a brat S1 - 1 Serving nuts S2 - ? Unsure on an additional snack, depends on my calories for the day and how tough krav maga is tonight.

I don't have any problems with cheat days. I have had 3 or 4 so far in the last few months (planned parties and what not), but I really enjoy this WOE so it is right back to LCHF for me the next day. I also try to make up for the carbs I eat with exercise in the next few days after a cheat day. For example, tomorrow, I…

Please feel free to add me, as well. I could use a few friends to keep up with, been on MFP for about 2 months now. Im LC, but not Keto

2 or less. I have been doing IF for about 5 years now and don't feel hungry at all until noonish anymore. If I work out before I go to the office, I have my BCAA's, but I don't count that as a meal since it doesn't truly break the fast. I also have 2 cups of coffee with 1/2 a truvia packet in each every morning.
