I'm so glad my doctor has followed the diet for 2 years himself and loves the results. It made it so easy when I told him I was low carb/keto for endurance and to assist with a genetic medical issue I have. I don't follow it all the time and he feels I should. More informed doctors would be nice.

I went up 10 lbs on a weekend away skiing in May, that was my largest. I believe I over did it on activity, was full of muscle inflammation and body didn't take well to flying out from sea level to do skiing 6 hours a day at 12000 vertical and flying home same day after third day of skiing. Left Friday, skied Friday,…

If I'm on a low carb cycle my favorite breakfast to have something healthy and fast to get me out the door on my bicycle is this. I make a batch up and keep it in the fridge in a large round plastic jug from the dollar store. I order all the stuff on Amazon and make a huge batch. I buy blue berries to add to it and almond…

I don't think i could leave the caffeine lol, but I regularly use ketosis dieting to up my athletic endurance. I'm not sure that this would give you ketosis though, with the various fruits allowed but that would help keep yoru nutrition balanced. It looks healthy to me. I know lots of people who maintain using such diets,…

Good for you ), not an easy road.

One thing I'd ask, are you on any form of birth control now that the baby is born that can cause weight gain? My daughter in law was using some needle or something and gained a ton of weight after having the baby, sounding similar to you, heavier when my grand daughter was a year old then when she was born. Then her mother…

It's very tough to work in a house where you're the only fitness and wellness freak. I've done it all my life. My husband can't/won't eat like me or work out and I was so excited 30 years ago when i had boys and thought about having company for my mountain biking etc... but alas they weren't able to either. I tried my…

http://obesity.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=004371 You can find it in a few spots but this one is clear in listing their country on the second list of world countries non developed. They have carried the same average BMI for decades but when you were there the WHO listed healthy bmi as 20 to 27 so they had much…

I really have little more to say, you all believe your version of the science, I will continue to research and read it all. And as FYI, Bosnia and Herzegovina 62.9% overweight. So maybe they weren't quite as large as the US but they were certainly at bmi's over 25!

I didn't miss the joke I was trying to open your mind. Your own experience should teach you there is probably more to this than the current studies explain. No matter how the person gained weight, the fact is, if you promise most people (some of us manage to work 8 hours a day and exercise 2 but not the vast majority) they…

Exactly if we refuse to believe or give merit to a study, or repeated evidence of something because we want to believe otherwise then nothing is ever changed. You can all continue with what you are doing and the rest of the people that this way doesn't work for can never know the truth or get real information or progress…

Sorry i get my figures from announcements made in Canada in the past two years. Obesity experts there are trying to start concentrating on weight maintenance or surgery as they find the rates of success expensive and dismal.…

It would be nice to know the answers but the most recent study I've heard of is the following of the Biggest loser contestants from one season and 6 years later their metabolism was still suffering https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/6-years-after-the-biggest-loser-metabolism-is-slower-and-weight-is-back-up/ They…

I'm 5'5", I am a professional ski instructor and I do ride a bike 2 hours plus a day on single track (mountain bike) when not skiing (along with a few other exercises tossed in to make it more well rounded. I have a BMI that ranges from 23.9 in the middle of ski season to 25.4 in off ski season. I have a waist measure that…

At 5'4" and 140 lbs you have a bmi of 23.9. This is a very healthy bmi for an active, athletic teen, young lady. I struggled with eating disorders when I was young and always very athletic and the weight my body wanted me to be compared to the weight my head wanted me to be. When I lost I was never really happy with what I…

To remember every morning how lucky I am I have the ability to go do a workout, the money to buy good food, and energy to prepare it for the health benefits I'll receive from that life style. Through this I'll ensure a long and healthy life to enjoy and engage with my grand children, extended family and friends no matter…

When i low carb for my health and fitness I miss cereal terribly and get sick of eggs everything and having to cook everything, so I make this one. Super Cereal It's so healthy and easy to pour in the morning. I have it with unsweetened almond/coconut milk and you can use a few drops of liquid stevia to sweeten it. I only…
