Well, this is only day 4 (tracking my meals), so I'm still doing the eggs & bacon thing in the morning, until I get some leftovers. I can only eat 2 eggs and can't image eating a third. Either scrambled in butter with bacon, or a cheese omelette. Also maybe a 1/4C pecans or cream cheese on celery. I bought a 4-pack of pork…

I wonder of this is more of a problem with high carb diets? I've heard/seen/read that with low carb diets, burning ketones rather than glucose tends to preserve muscle. I also wonder if my heavy frame has extra muscle it can afford to lose while I lose about 1/2 my weight? Oh well, can't worry too much about it now. I'm…

Interesting. Using my goal weight(s), it came up with 70-80g of protein (and 400g of carbs!). That certainly matches more with what I feel like eating, and what I think I was eating about 15 years ago on Atkins (even though the recommendations is for a high carb diet). I don't exactly trust government recommendations, but…

Well, multiple keto-calcs have high protein recommendations when I put in my current weight, and kept those recommendations even on very high caloric restrictive diet plans. Using my goal weight, it was only in the 120's. And the .65-.85g/lbs HGW still gives 123 to 161 g of protein. I forced down about 125g of protein my…

The keto-calc gave a BF estimate and recommended 147g of protein if not exercising. I can't eat that w/o forcing it down. For example, today I ate 90g and I'm stuffed. I'm not going to worry about it because I feel great, but I'll look to see if protein starts trending up.

It's not like your body actually stored 3lbs of fat from a small cheat one evening. Don't chase the scale or you'll drive yourself crazy.

If you plot a chart for a year with weighing daily vs. weighing weekly, it will look basically the same. I just do it once a week on the same day at the same time. Probably best to pick Tuesday-Friday first thing in the morning, but if you don't go out Friday nights then Saturday morning is probably a good choice as well -…

Always consciously place both feet in exactly the same location, stand up straight, breath normally, calm yourself, get your balance, then slowly look down at the scale (only takes an extra 5 seconds). Practice until you can get the same reading several times in a row, and then you'll know future reading should be…

OK, great, thanks - I understand and believe all of that, but it doesn't answer my question. I'll be more concise: Why am I recommended to eat more protein while I'm fat and overweight than when I am at a healthy weight? As I can't eat as much as recommended w/o force feeding myself, I'm just going to have to go with…

LOL, who says I/they haven't? And the WOE doesn't fail - it's the WOE when not following LCHF that fails.

I used them 15 years ago when I first tried Atkins. I was very strict and the strips gave great feedback and kept me motivated. Ten years later after relapsing, I used them again with poor results and I quit after a short while. I've since heard that if you drink more water it will dilute the ketones and indicate poor…

Hi. You sound a bit like me. I started about the same, lost a bit more, and gained back more than I lost over the last 12 years. I finally started LCHF again this week - for life! I just joined the site so know nothing about it. Anyway, good luck.

Yeah, that sounds like high protein low carbs, but you want moderate protein low carbs and high fat. Add that fat and I bet you'll lose that starving feeling. Anyway, works for me - two meals a day, no snacks, and no cravings.
