The good thing about Mct oil is its fat thermogenic effect and can and probably will help stimulate your fat store metabolizing. It also can help boost energy levels with that same effect when used pre-workout. The amounts that can be tolerated for the day very by the person I would suggest starting out low and then…

Nutribullet is perfect for this situation you can just puree all of your foods and even use a large diameter straw to drink the puree food. I have made puree soups, green smoothies and have even puree whole meals when trying to give my digestive system a break when my colon perforated.

that could be a sign of the start of dehydration as alcohol dehydrates you and can come on quickly especially if you do not drink plenty of water during the day.

I always say the most important thing especially if going to go Keto is drink water and maintain electrolytes with magnesium, potassium and sodium.

Black coffee lol

Out there they really do not know the advantages of the lifestyle we chose to follow. The low carb forum is very helpful to those who have questions and can be very supportive as we all have similar goals.

The basic premise of 10k steps a day is that your natural BMR has an affect on your calorie burn and walking that 4 miles at any speed helps your metabolism to burn more calories as energy expenditure and yes walking and body movements of any type will help you lose weight with proper diet and less calorie intake just not…

Buy a cheap pedi-cycle they are like $20 or so they can help you as they can be used for arms and legs as well, just make sure to get one with rubber feet so will not move alot.

At 280 lbs and between 1200-1600 calories I consistently lost weight, gained muscle mass and maintained healthy water mass with no issues minus a few days of Keto flu symptoms which I handled with water, salt, magnesium and potassium and after a few days all was right as rain. This I done with moderate treadmill and…

Hi there I enjoyed this post think there is something to gain from support of others like this. I am 46 and single father of a 13 and 16 year who has autism. I have RSD(CRPS) which has made me sedentary and I gained over 70 lbs which also caused a perforated colon so the change to Keto was more of I need than an original…

Vitamin D, Omega 3, magnesium, potassium and a good multivitamin helps. I like the Naturemade from Wally they are inexpensive for the most part and have good luck with them. I also recommend a good probiotic as most foods the bacteria does not survive the digestive track so always good for a little extra security to get…

Eat less than 80g protein per day even with exercise is added that will be enough to maintain muscle mass a maximum of 4oz of meat per meal is a good place to start to control glucose overload and get thrown out of ketosis. Just remember to also watch other sources of protein with it like certain veggies and split that…

Yes you need more on Keto and also need sodium and lack of both will cause kidney pain kind of fleeting in the lower back to side. As Storm mentioned if have kidney issues may want to get checked medically before going deep into Ketosis as the diet will put a strain on them and your liver especially in the beginning as the…

Best to drink water about 20 minutes before a meal and 20-30 minutes after give the stomach acid time to digest food at full strength. Most people drink especially cold fluids while eating and it can cause digestive issues.Digestive enzymes are only needed when not able to digest fat or protein properly and that can only…

If just cannot avoid eating something for a dessert I would suggest a piece of 85% or above chocolate and a few berries if you must. The best thing to do is get the mind off of sweets totally and no more worries and the cortisol it creates from stressing over wanting a dessert haha. Keto on!!!

Cut out the sweets and eat the meats! Keto on!!!

Keto on!!!

Roshaunda the issue I see more people have on Keto is the portions more than the actual food item they eat. If have turkey only eat at maximum a 4 oz portion, no mashed potato eat mashed cauliflower, no stuffing make your own Keto stuffing which there are recipes on the web. The intake of large amounts of protein are a…

Go for it you will enjoy the ride. Keto on!!!

Down 4.2 lbs from last week added HIIT training to my weekly exercise on treadmill, exercise bike and bands lost almost all fat and gained almost a lb of muscle mass have lost over 44 lbs in the last 2.5 months very happy with Keto giving me this chance even though have RSD it can be done although painfully. Keto on!!!

I would suggest a whey shake with 2 tbsp of MCT oil 30-45 minutes before your workout and see if it helps you maintain your energy this is what I use for my HIIT treadmill and bike training and also my upper body band days. I finish these in the morning then have a good protein infusion of eggs with meat like sausage or…

I am 6ft and eat between 55g-65g a day split between 2 meals no issues if I was eating 90g I would definitely be increasing my exercise regimen my 2 cents. Keto on!!!

100g of carbs is way to high to maintain ketosis for a normal person even powerlifters only carb up those amounts preworkouts I cannot imagine you are in a state of ketosis eating 100 carbs a day. I do not know what diet or lifestyle you are following or getting your diet and macros from, but it is definitely not a…

Stayed under goals everyday since started Keto This last week lost 2.4 lbs and gained .9 muscle mass yay!!! SW: 278, CW: 236.4, GW: 217 (for now). Keto on!!!

I refuse to ruin my delicious black coffee and with any cream or oils I just drink a tbsp of MCT straight as the left coast MCT oil has barely any taste but the oil would ruin the texture and smooth taste of black coffee did not like it. Through easy food choices the need for things like bullet proof coffee bombs are…

Stay as close to macro as you can by making your own meal and drink plenty of water daily at least 128 oz (Gallon). Cheat days are like Lays potato chips "you can never eat just one!". You have to not only train the body, but the mind and giving it a choice it will generally decide yummy that stuffing or that pumpkin pie…

Love my MCT oil use it daily for energy pre workout along with a half serving of whey these have helped me to maintain energy during exertion for the most part. MCT will also boost fat burning as it kicks the ketone and fat burn into drive as it and whey both metabolize fairly quickly. Keto on!!!

I have noticed that when i added a light to moderate exercise regimen weekly to my diet that the tiredness and possibly lower metabolism ration has been practically eliminated and I have energy through the day. My blood pressure and heart rate are all excellent as i track them daily with an omron BP786N. Having started at…

Decided to post to the thread even though I did not start posting from the 9th. So far I have lost 15 lbs and gained 2.8% muscle mass with 10g/60g/142g ratio. I started Keto about 2 1/2 months ago at 278 lbs and 35% fat mass and now down to 30.4 so far have reached 236 lbs, loving keto. Keto on!!!

If worried about low protein on chicken breasts just add a milled chia seed and flax meal breading after you cover the breast with extra virgin olive oil or butter that will raise the fat alot. My ratios at 240lb male are 20/60/142 and I hardly ever reach 20 net carbs more like 11-12. Protein overage and a simple glucose…
