Clean eating is a term widely used by people who need to simplify nutrition by number of ingredients or have dogma or sell vitamins. If you like science and medicine and want to eat in a way that benefits your personal health, there are some great resources on here. If you want to eat ethically, try Michael Pollan's In…

Amethyst we are already buddies. mgeshwilm I sent you an add.

Statins are so widely prescribed for something when it is completely needless. Most doctors are very behind on this and let the pharmaceutical companies continue to sell nonsense and misinformation. Below is a link to my doctor and what he says about statins is in his video along with an explanation of how to raise your…

I have to be the white chick commenting on the cute fro. Anyways yes you probably need more fiber, if you get what I mean.

No, sorry

I think you could focus on reducing weight through diet and walking just until you are down enough to not damage your joints and overstretch your muscles. Be patient with yourself. You can see my latest blog for info about a ketogenic diet. Most people can get serious reductions in belly fat within months on it. It's not a…

I don't know, but I have met a small percentage of people who follow a true ketogenic diet in that forum. But, being that I'm well under 50, you are welcome to add me if you like. I have looked on another site claiming to be ketogenic and their "gurus" didn't even know how to monitor ketones and use moderate protein. We…

No, when you go that low in calories you are starving your body because of the intense workouts, which means you are burning muscle too. You need to bump up your calories with fat to ensure this doesn't happen to at least 1400 on days you exercise. ETA: What anvilhead said.

Without knowing your stats I can just tell you that if you want to lose fat, build muscle and restrict your protein to 1 gram per kg of your goal body weight. So, if you goal body weight were 65kg, you would want to restrict your protein to 65g per day. This ensures no conversion of aminos to glucose. If you are in…

You can start snacking between meals to gain weight most effectively, bump up your fats a little bit. The best time to start waist training is when you quit breastfeeding. It won't take long to gain a few pounds, do it slowly.

Yes, especially initially, for at least the first 30 days, and then the vast majority of the time after that. Fat ismy least favorite thing to eat, but I'm at well over 80% fat intake and I have to take supplements to help me digest the fat. The good news is you CAN get used to it and it is actually pretty amazing what it…

I think it is great you are having success with keto dieting, but I have to disagree on your comparison with the Atkins diet. I also think it's important to monitor ketones when you start to understand carb and protein thresholds and supplementation and having your labs run first. I see a lot of misinformed ketoers and a…

you have an hourglass, I hope to have one of those:-)

broken glass, Broken glass, gasoline, insulation ripped from my 60 year old basement, Etc, Etc

Wow!

you made the first step in coming back to look at what happened. Move forward and be excited because you have done this before and know you can do it again. Also, understand that you might not be exactly the same person you were three years ago. People change, their bodies change. Maybe you need to do something different…

I have anxiety and am currently medication free. I haven't found diet to make a difference. I think exercize is key for myself. There are TONS of us:-) I am glad I am not alone.

My doctor and I would say that yes your protein is way too high. My diet is at least 80% fat and under 70g protein. You could always monitor your ketones by blood to be sure. Yes,I do believe ketones accurately predict ketosis. It's kind of fact.

I don't know what you need help with. Monitor your ketones. Stick to your daily macros. Eat fat bombs and bark etc. Nuff said. You got this, quit worrying.

Are you checking for presence of ketones in your blood or urine? Sudden drastic changes in diet promote rapid water weight loss, whether the diet is effective long term or not. Expect it to level out after several weeks, then you can really monitor your progress and know that you are burning your fat instead of just losing…

Protein is what repairs your muscle. If you are doing keto, your carb tolerance is higher when you do a lot of exercize. However, protein can be overconsumed and throw you out of ketosis. The specifics really depend on your personal data and whether you are in actual ketosis or not.

That is impressive.

That when I take ambien. You are a sleep eater, probably. Some part of your brain shuts off. My husband has to make sure I stay in bed.

You need to look at your long term success and return to long term habit forming.

One has only to visit most other economically advantaged countries to know it is habit. As for the debate, every person is different. Some people are genetically more predisposed to be good at forming habits.

Seriously?

Hi, I have no trouble losing weight when I watch my macros. I have a thyroid problem and have to take synthetic thyroid and get ultrasounds. I rarely walk or exercise. But there are a lot of thyroid gurus on here who might analyze your labs and advise further. If you need a name send me a message. You might be watching…

I started keto under the supervision of a physician because I have inflammation and need to lose a lot more than 20 pounds and want it done in under a year. I think it is very possible with the ketogenic diet to not get proper nutrition if you aren't careful, but if followed properly, that should not happen. In fact, it…

I learned as much as I could about it before starting. I read Conquer Type 2 Diebetes with a Ketogenic Diet even though I'm not doing it for diabetes, and I have a doctor who I consult with every two weeks. I ordered ketone urine strips. I made a summary page for myself, which I will paste below. I recommend to find a meal…

It really doesn't matter as long as I get my daily macros in. The point of using the app for me is to track total carbs, fats, fiber, sugars, and proteins. If you are tracking calories instead, that is even easier! Unless you are troubleshooting or aiming for ketosis, calorie restriction is really all you technically need…
