Not sure what you're eating, but migraines -> carb cravings sound like it could be an electrolyte imbalance? Especially if you're cutting lots of refined carbs. Another thing to consider. ^^

It depends on the person. What's your hunger like? Foods you prefer? Portions? Do you stay hydrated? (We often mistake thirst for hunger.) If you tend to choose a good deal of vegetables and are easy on oils, listening to your hunger cues can work good! Some people find tracking stressful, but to stay in a defecit you need…

You can change your heart rate zones in the app! I think it works for all devices. My heart rate is higher than normal, so I had to tweak it. I was always in the "fat burn" zone til I adjusted it. Definitely some trial and error.

I didn't have too many negative effects while on it (besides breast soreness). It was my second time being on the shot. All the hell came afterwards - and I gained 20lbs within a month and a half or so. Doctors said there's no way the medication could have played a role, but they didn't actually try to help looking into…

If you feel sluggish, it's not a guaranteed symptom of keto and people tap out. Electrolytes are important and not enough will cause fatigue, headaches, body aches, etc. Keep up that sodium and supplement potassium and magnesium if you feel icky. (Look up keto-ade for an easy way to do so).

Adding radishes like potatoes helps add bulk and texture too. The taste isn't sharp or anything when cooked. :) If your carbs allow, I usually add mung bean sprouts as a base instead of rice. (I absolutely love curry and make it often).

Keto is one way, I've known several people to reverse their Type 2 diabetes. It might be hard to switch but could be medically beneficial for you.

I realize this thread is dead... but I'm excited to show off my food! Keto french toast sticks! I was nervous about the amount of egg, but french toast is an eggy dish by definition yes? It's meant to be 4 servings, but I kinda snack on the whole thing I like it so much. It's 9g net carbs for the 4 total servings which is…

It's a good method, also thank you so much for doing some digging too! I try to allow extra carbs for these kinds of reasons but sometimes the labels are so wildly different.

I have come across a pretty decent biscuit recipe I've been tweaking. It's not like buttermilk though I think I'm going to try going that direction. Besides that, all my bread recipes have failed miserably.

I'll have to look for the other ones again! It was the only one at my store that I noticed. Worst case...the internet has my back. :blush: It might be an n=1 thing. I've not heard of that issue myself, and never experienced it if my reaction in my joints to carbs is any indication. (Could be wrong though.)

Keep some healthy sweets! Or rather, keto friendly. There's some protein bars that taste like a dessert, Lily's has fantastic chocolate available at Whole Foods (I believe they put it on sale fairly often), there's a few ice cream brands like Enlightened and Halo Top. I've only tried Halo Top and there has been only one or…

It's going to be VERY hard to overeat protein. It's possible and has happened, but its caused unnecessary fear. It's uncommon. You need protein. Even more so when you work out, it helps preserving muscle. Even if you somehow ate too much, glucose conversion would be minimal. .6-.8g/lb of ideal weight is generally what's…

Marriage, pot, and followers. This is hilarious!

I googled a list of spices and made a ramen seasoning packet that way, cooked up some shirataki noodles (your local asian store should have them less than $2/pack), and throw in any other ingredients. Shirataki noodles can have a fishy smell when you open the package. Drain and rinse really well, and cook in the boiling…

With cycling do you still stay in ketosis? :o

You did AMAZING and look good! I'm also seriously in love with your top and want one myself.

I had the same issue. I was losing weight steadily and then got a factory job. I ate the same and my weight stalled out. Water retention could have definitely been a cause.

It varies from person to person. Some can eat it with no problem. Personally, I end up very bloated and sick. It's a great deterrent. It's similar to when people eliminate cheese and then eat some after a long time if you know someone.

I wasn't asking due to my behavior -- which I've mostly got under control tyvm! I was asking because of wondering how the body generally handles it. This wasn't a weight management question perse. Personally, high carbs makes it difficult for me to maintain or lose weight. Counting net works fine in my case. But I wasn't…

Question: I noticed some stuff given joining a challenge. I've always followed NET carbs, but I saw recently that soluble fiber is indeed ingested, so wouldn't it actually affect your body?

:/ Yeah, 60 feels low to me. I realize people who recommend .8 g/km of IDEAL weight eat roughly that much. I have seen what higher protein alone with no other dietary changes can do for someone, so this whole thing has been extremely confusing. I personally try to average 95g. I remember reading that during weight loss the…

Oh! And do we watch net, or total??

You may need to be eating more too. The way MFP works, you're supposed to eat back exercise calories. Since they can be inflated, many recommend eating half. Weight fluctuates. It can be water, bowel movement, a result of hormones. Don't stress the short term, you're A-OK! And yes, inches can be lost but the weight stay…

This was enough to convince me. I had a concern though. In general, a good deal of protein is recommended to preserve muscle. Does that apply here? The article recommends a lot less than I eat. I do think it's worthwhile to keep in mind if so. Edit: As it applies outside of this challenge mostly -- since for this challenge…
