Unfortunately, I have a narrow face that shows when I lose weight. I think you're on to it here. People get accustomed to how are faces look and dramatic changes are unsettling. I sure wish one could target fat loss to certain areas. I get all the advice above and it's good. I'm really aware that the problem here is my…

Wow, all of these comments were so insightful and have got me thinking about my role in taking offense. And am now wondering about the signals I may send out when I discuss my weight loss issues. I think, to be safe, I should just not talk about it unless asked about it.

I'm three weeks into keto and fricken love it. The stable day long energy is remarkable. I did a 5.5 hour mountain hike on the weekend and with only water, two hardboiled eggs, a handful of nuts, and 2 babybel cheese rounds after a 16 hour intermittent fast; I never dipped in my energy levels. I have been a deeply…

Hi all! I am trying to be diligent in tracking everything (macros at 5, 25 and 70%) - I do the math for net carbs in the notes at the bottom. Though I found a hacking script on reddit for adding a net carb tracker (I don't know how to install or use the script): https://github.com/Surye/mfp-keto-userscript My understanding…

I'm struggling through a pound of Lithic cricket protein. It smells like my iguana cage from the 90s. I cook it with oat meal and smother it in hot sauce, garlic powder and pickle juice. At 30 bucks a pound (IIRC) this is the last time I will buy it. But it's nothing but crickets, no thickeners or "natural flavors" added.…

Never heard of such a thing. I'd explore sciatica. I had nerve issues similar when I was doing too much long distance running (6 miles a day, 6 days a week). Do you foam roll everywhere everyday? That seems to help me and my nerves.

Agree to all above. It's quite annoying that fat isn't used up (or stored) in an always flattering way. And worse, if I have a cheat weekend, the fat can suddenly balloon at my lovehandles and really discourage. But take some comfort in the fact that there is much evidence that storing fat more on hips, butt, and thighs…

Two tablespoons (one serving) of PB (or any nut butter) added into a saute of kale and olive oil makes a delightful kick-up to the bitter green.

I used to be addicted to Jack in the Box, late at night, so much junk in my mouth! Two things helped - actually tracking those calories (one oreo shake is more than half a day's worth of calories, not to mention all that I ordered with it) in order to shock the mind. And two, allowing myself a transition period on real,…

As a 70s kid, I was remembering just this morning that I would routinely get on my bike at 9 AM, and ride around the hood, hike, climb trees, and not come home until 9 PM, in the summers. We didn't eat all day long, often, and could range up to 10 miles in any direction. Free range kids, less TV (we had 4 channels that…

In one year I have gone from 140 lb lean mass to 144 lb lean mass (measured with hydrostatic displacement) while essentially staying the same weight (168) but also losing 3.8 lbs of body fat. I attribute it to sporadic calorie tracking, and having higher protein and fat, lower carb, and doing HIIT 5 out of every 7 days,…
