I am doing the same. Today is the first day I am trying to follow keto...my goal is to burn off my stomach fat. I have about 40 pounds to lose!

My husband gets up for work at 4:15, I sleep right through it!! ;)

I have tried numerous times to become a morning workout person. The longest I stuck with it was about 2 months. I LOVED the free time that I had in the evenings, but the mornings were the worst and because I would hit snooze and not get up right when I needed to, I ended up working out less efficiently and for less time!!…

This thread is so helpful with lots of great information. Thanks OP!

Get an inexpensive food scale and measure your servings. Put the bowl on the scale, tare it to "0" and then add your items to get the reading.

I would agree that you may want to try vegan protein powder. I am not vegan, but I use only vegetable protein powder and I also take a probiotic daily. Some days I take 2. I have noticed a difference in the bloat.

Thanks so much, I just glanced at it for now but will spend more time there when I have time tomorrow. :smile:

I appreciate the info and will look into all of these suggestions. I'm tired of wasting my time and I'm trying to do this the most efficient way possible...plus I have a trip to Florida coming up in April! :wink:

Try the salads from subway. I usually get a rotisserie chicken salad, double meat, no cheese, lots of veggies. Sometimes it's large enough for 2 meals!

Doing my workout now and presently using these weights on the home gym: Lat pull down 64 pounds Butterfly press 40 pounds Arm press 100 pounds Seated leg curls 132 pounds

Definitely try probiotics. My gastroenterologist suggested Align (I purchase the CVS version).

I don't use dumbbells for lats, I use our machine and lift pretty heavy on there, although I don't know the exact weight. I use the 15lb dumbbells for chest press, curls, shoulder press and things like that.

What do you do for lifting? How much weight do you use and how long have you been lifting?

4-5 days of just lifting or all together, cardio and weights? 2-3 days a week isn't enough?! :blush:

Hello, I am new to MyFitness Pal and have been a binge eater all of my life. For me it is typically chips or salty snacks, I can polish off an entire family sized bag of chips in one sitting. I try not to keep these items in my house, but I do buy them occasionally for parties and for my husband and son (who are not binge…
