10-19% calories from carbs is WAY too high if you're trying to lose a lot of weight. 0-20g is great for losing more than 50 pounds or if you are terribly unwell. 20-50 is fine if you're healthy, and a little bit active. 50-80 is fine if you're healthy and kinda active. 80-120 is for like body composition and athletes. One…

Healthy range is 0-100. My total carbs rarely hit above 20. I eat carnivore most of the time, but if you're estrogen dominant you might need more veggies than me to soak up some excess estrogen. If you don't feel great eating super low carb without certain veggies like spinach (though high in oxolates) lettuce, etc... 20…

In my opinion if you are low on Vitamin D and don't want more sun exposure, try liver or get some frozen salmon cheap, take the scales off, and eat the skin with the rest of it.

Every day? Possible. I used to use Apple Pie Spice which has cinnamon nutmeg and all spice when i started Keto on my beef skillets. The thing about Keto Friendly is all about context. Keto isn't 20 grams of carbs or lower. That's just the safest possible estimate. If you're building a lot of muscle, or are an athlete, or…

BTW in the past 2 years I've lost over 120 pounds. I've only been on Keto for 8 months. Keto diet has given me so much more energy and so much less pain, that I would gladly go back and do Keto retroactively for most of my life if I could. I lose so much weight now in my 30s than I did in my teens and early 20s even though…

The BEST way to lose belly fat? Simple. Get fat adapted on a low carb diet, very low carb. Not atkins low carb but closer to keto low carb. Then fast for a couple days, eat plenty especially of protein and omega 3 fats on your eating days, and once a month or once a week fast for 2-3 days once you know how to fast for…

You also need to bump up your omega 3 ratio, salt intake, water intake, and protein intake. Getting calories from carbs will help you build muscle because of insulin, higher levels of LDL cholesterol will help you build muscle, fat? Not sure. We don't have enough studies on it. There's conflicting information, too many…

The amount of weight you gain is dependent on Insulin. We see this with Type 1 diabetic patients. They inject insulin into a specific sight every day, their body will store fat in that site. Everyone has a different metabolism, different caloric needs. There is an ex olympic athlete in a wheel chair that says she consumes…

The only things I really get online are stuff like Lankanto Maple Syrup, Stevia extract drops, or binding agents like Beef Gelatin or Glucommen powder.

TL:DR version. Everything you do your body will adapt to. If you can manage to drop massive amounts of weight like more than 100 pounds without doing a keto diet, and without slowing your metabolism so bad that you end up like a "Biggest Loser" and gaining it all back, then congratulations! You lucked out! Yes you can lose…

That's not true though. If you under eat and over workout you WILL slow your metabolism. https://mayooshin.com/biggest-loser-study-maintain-weight-loss/ There's a lot of studies coming out that when the weight is lost on keto diets it stays off much easier. 20-50 pounds is EASY to lose over the course of a year. I didn't…

Wrong. Absolutely 100% wrong. Ok maybe 80% wrong because digesting nutrients faster could be an issue, but depending on anti-nutrients, and the mineral wheel, which is way too complex to get into, the K1 you absorb from eating something fortified with Folic Acid could block the K2 5MethylFolate that you body spent all that…

"Most of the time, of course, a calorie is a calorie, and we do not maintain that, in carbohydrate restriction, metabolic advantage always occurs, but only 1) that it can occur (11), 2) that it is not excluded by a correct thermodynamic analysis, and 3) that, because of the importance of obesity, it is sensible to try to…

I go to the store and I look for meat that's on sale. Usually on the way home from a work out or if i'm in the area of a store about to go home. I don't really impulse buy anything unless it's clearance. Like Starbucks Iced Coffee for $1 a gallon jug. Or Sunbutter, which I probably shouldn't have bought. Some sugar free…

Also for the record, I tried walking my dog more, restricting her calories more, it wasn't until we started cooking our own food with fewer carbs and higher protein/fat amounts, that she started losing weight, so now she's a healthy vibrant dog, where as before she was an underfed, fat hurting dog, that made me feel like a…

I'm not going to argue a lot more because I keep bringing up scientific evidence, findings from various studies, and all people come back with is anecdotes, nu-uhs, and non specifics. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4989512/figure/F4/ Here's a demonstration of how drastically the meatbolic rate of people can…

Not exactly. Some people actually lose weight when they eat more calories than they were when they weren't losing weight. There's lots of mechanisms behind this. Tumeric and coffee can help mobilize lipoproteins, exercising in a fasted state, or at least a fasting like state (such as Keto) also increases fat burning, long…

Apparently it doesn't matter if you mention different people are at different stages of health and that carbs might not affect you much right now depending on your insulin sensitivity. Congratulations being an N of one. I noticed you didn't mention how much fiber was in there because I also made a caveat that fiber doesn't…

I know the Onkinawan people have a high rate of people over 100 years. What I don't know is how many carbohydrates they have in a day, how many calories they have in a day, how fatty the fish in their sushi is, their meal frequency etc... If you only eat 1,200-1,500 calories a day tops, and you eat breakfast at say 6:00…

No 300grams is not appropriate for ANYBODY! It will catch up to you eventually. Show me the diets of the healthiest people. There's a lot that goes into health. Stress has a lot to do with it, fasting has a lot to do with it, slowing your metabolic rate has a lot to do with it, many of these things will absolutely protect…

All that means is that you're not pre-diabetic. Also eating an apple or an orange is packed with fiber. If you blend that apple or orange up, especially if you get rid of all the pulp, and drink it in liquid form that stuff is no better for you than a soda. You are eating low-carbish. "The Dietary Guidelines for Americans…

next step in your life, is Keto. Instead of candy and chips you can have Choc Zero candy bars, Pork Rinds in a cheese sauce, and you can still enjoy snacks but not sacrifice health for it. Once you get fat adapted you might find yourself being more clear headed. The first time in my life that I ever started making my bed…

If you want to be healthy in my opinion the optimal way to do such a thing is to eat Keto. If you like egg skillet breakfasts, than congratulations you might love Keto. It's the easiest I've ever lost weight. I'm plateauing a bit now but I'm gonna have to bump my metabolism up and really push some fasts to drop the rest of…

I've heard some people who are underweight have found themselves getting to a much healthier weight by eating Keto. Now maybe that will happen maybe not. If you want to gain weight, what I would recommend is drinking fat free skim milk, or consuming sucralose. Anything that will keep your insulin levels up should help you…

If you want to succeed, I suggest fasted exercising. If you aren't able to control your blood sugars, and by proxy your insulin levels, you will put in so much effort, and get almost no benefits. I mean maybe you will. I have lost 5-10 maybe 15 pounds here and there. But Keto and fasting has changed my life, and since…

Try Keto. You will be surprised what happens to your triglycerides when your body can turn fat in your blood stream into energy. You'll be surprised how less hungry you'll be after you satiate yourself with plenty of fat, and enough protein to keep from losing muscle, don't worry about your cholesterol, you'll find out…

So here's the thing. When you are going throughout your day you have 1,000 points of willpower. You use a few to a few hundred on your breakfast and lunch. A few to a few to decide if you should flip off that crazy driver or not, a few here, a few there. By the end of the day you've spent most of your willpower points…

If you're morally opposed to harming animals, stay vegan. Otherwise I would highly recommend going that light weight Vegetarian. Vegan groups are very nasty, I've even seen it towards other Vegans. Not saying all Vegans or Vegan groups are nasty, but there's no reason to create more artificial limitations to your eating…

Carbs are your first line of energy. So while that stuff will be burned faster, and fat is harder to break down than carbs, as long as you are using more calories than your body is getting, you will lose weight. Carbs are an easy villain to attack. Your brain needs carbs. The light dinner is really good for you. A big…

When someone is trying to tell you how to lose weight in specific areas, what they are doing is trying to sell you some stupid crap, in order to exploit your insecurity. It might help to tell yourself that. "They just want my money, they are exploiting their looks, and my insecurities, I'm beautiful, and getting healthier…
