I'm down to 173lbs. My bmi is still considered obese at 31 or 32. My goal is to hit a normal bmi around 130-135 but I know it won't happen for quite a while.

I did graduate from IUB and I may not have represented the data well for my post ...as 2/3 of all Indiana adult residents are overweight or obese. When I asked my doctor why she wanted me to stop losing weight when I reached 150lbs that's when she mentioned she wanted me to keep a bit of "adult weight." I didn't…

Neither myself or any family have ever had any eating disorders, or at least the kind where you are thin. Obesity, heart disease and diabetes do though. I just finished my degree in human biology so I know that crash dieting is neither sustainable nor healthy. I'm really looking long term for my health, which is why I've…

She didn't mention any health reasons to not lose the weight and I had asked her if she was okay with the quick loss and she didn't seem to mind. I also had my wisdom teeth taken out in that time frame. My entire life I have been overweight and reaching a goal of another 40lbs is still really far away. I have been on a low…

I had gained some weight shortly before I met my now boyfriend of about 2 1/2 years and through the 1st year of our relationship we both gained quite a bit of weight. It was a combination of college, stress, and he suffered a pretty serious bought of illness. Together we've been exercising and dieting for about 6 months…

Been keto a while my best advice is to keep it simple. There are so many recipes out there it can get overwhelming. Find a few favorites and cycle them.

If you've got to have something someone shared a mug recipe that is super easy and keto approved. It still has some carbs but definitely better than caving and binging on junk. Also, exams are more important than a week of dieting so don't stress it too much. Keto mug cake 1 egg, beaten 2 Tbs of cocoa powder 2 Tbs…

Been keto for a while. Just made my food diary viewable but no judging lol.

If you're a spontaneous cook look into a programmable pressure cooker or instant pot. I'm keto so I can't do the pasta or rice meals but raw chicken is shreddable in about 15 minutes and you can add pasta and cook for 4 more minutes and have an entire meal. Frozen chicken takes about 35 minutes. They're great for a lot of…

I do 7p-7a and usually eat my first meal around 5pm and will take something work to eat. High fat, low carb-usually meat and cheese with broccoli. Sometimes it's 11 when I eat and sometimes it's as late as 2 or 3am. That usually does it for me. I'm keto so I'm not usually hungry but I always keep almonds and a…

22 years old 5'2" and trying to lose at least 30 more I've lost about 30 in the last year. Living the keto lifestyle if anyone else is low carb.

I love my eggs in the morning but you're right sometimes you need something different. Keto connect has great recipes.I love pancakes and these are a great replacement with amazing macros they're kinda calorically dense so careful with your portion size. I use Walden farms syrup but just cream cheese or a little pb is good…

Keto is not a magic recipe for weightloss, the calorie deficit is. That being said,for me, keto makes it a lot easier. Once you're in ketosis you drop your water weight and bloat, your appetite decreases and for most you have a lot more energy. Normal dieting always left me feeling hungry and I was miserable craving carbs…

Been on/off keto for about a year. Finishing college has made it a lot easier so I've been pretty strict ~30 net per day for around 3 months. I've lost around 30lbs so far. I've found the best thing is to not have cheat days/meals but to find and incorporate what you want to eat into a ketogenic lifestyle. I'm not saying…
-
I've been on/off keto for a year and pretty strict the last 3 months or so. I am never hungry on keto so I do eat calorically dense meals but if you need more fat just use heavy cream and cheese, season up a creamy sauce for chicken breast. Also avocados are soo fatty, they really even omelets fat to protein ratio. Mexican…

Our go-to road trip food is baked ham (lunchmeat kind) with Swiss or provolone on top seasoned with a little Italian seasoning. You can let them cool flat or roll them up and put a toothpick through them. Also cheese "chips" just little piles of cheese baked until crunchy. If you can allow a couple carbs shredded…
-
Not sure if it affects the nutrition but kale chips are incredible. We have adapted to using a mrs.dash garlic and herb seasoning and finishing them with salt and Parmesan. My boyfriend and I probably go through 3-4 bunches a week.

I'm 5'2" 177lbs. I had mfp set to active thinking it would give less calories for my steps a while ago. It seems like the exercise calories just keep increasing without more exercise. It shouldn't be because of the HR monitor because my average and peak hr has decreased for my workouts.
-
Whoops, the confusion. I'm yet to have children so that thought didn't cross my mind. Glad to hear others are also keto with BRATwurst lol. Just not one of the typical foods I hear from others.
-
When you make nachos with baked cheese "chips" and then add even more cheese on top.
-
It shouldn't last for more than a few days but a hot cup of bouillon broth always had me feeling great. Also figure out what a good net carb count is for you. Not everyone is the same, I keep mine between 20-30 net and never have issues staying in ketosis. However my boyfriend keeps his under 20, usually closer to 10. I…

[/quote] For example why not cook food at 7am...bacon and eggs or with cheese...and adding heavy cream to coffee if you are averaging 1500 a day that is a different story as well...that means on your off days you are getting in a good 1700-1900 calories...but the fact you aren't counting exercise calories is troublesome.…

It is surgery... my bottom two are actually embedded in the jaw bone (yay me...) I was actually told no straws as it can cause dry socket. I'm hoping most of my recovery I'll just be medicated and sleeping. With keto I try to stay under 30net carbs a day so I'll have to check the yogurt isle out. I just cut it out of my…

Just when I'm working 12 hour shifts in a row is it hard to reach my calories. I might be awake 3 or 4 hours before going in and rarely have a full 30 minutes for lunch and definitely don't wanna cook before bed @ 7am. I do weigh and measure my food +/- an almond here and there. Since I've been doing it a while I've found…

My SO and I try to walk a mile before dinner every night. Sometimes we'll go to a park and walk/hike a couple miles. We never feel like lounging around after we eat and sometimes have the energy to do another mile after dinner if it isn't too hot. I think the concistsncy is what keeps us going with our other exercise a few…

I start my day with a small omelet and my fruit for the day. Generally 1/3-1/2 cup of strawberries and depending on what's on sale 1/4 cup of blueberries or raspberries. I find it to be the perfect treat to get my day going. Occasionally I'll save the fruit for dessert after dinner with some homemade whip cream but I tend…

I've been doing LCHF for about a year and for ketosis I don't go above 30g net carbs per day and generally stay around 20g per day. My SO and I tried a general low carb diet staying around 60g net carb per day for a bit and found the small boost in carbs increased appetite and depleted energy, so we went back to keto.…

My favorite thing to have is keto nachos, or more so a nacho bowl. We make cheese chips in the oven on parchment paper. It makes about 7 chips each, in 1T little piles for about 7 minutes at 425. 1/3 cups shredded cheese 4-6oz Ground beef seasoned 1/4 Avocado Sour cream Depending on your carbs restrictions somethings I…

Moya1219 A year ago I was in a similar place place weighing 208 at 5'2" and the heaviest I've ever been. I've been doing a ketoish diet for about a year with some bumps along the road but lost 20lbs and maintained it for the last year. I try to monitor my carbs and limit them to 30g net per day and only let those come from…
