increase your potassium intake it helps a lot for constipation

I think the main struggle for everyone is how fast you get adapted to a ketogenic diet, it took me 3 weeks slowly getting there through a paleo diet. the "magic" only appears after your brain and gut stops screaming for sugar/carbs . You can't expect to get into ketosis through week 1. I need to point out that my diet is…

welcome aboard the keto train, for those saying about cico and such it is true that calorie deficit is what matters to lose weight BUT the keto diet greatest advantage is the hunger control: being on keto and being consistent with calorie intake is much more easier than eating carbs and fats gets you satiated easily. Of…

IIFYM is NOT a diet, it's only an eating methodology

one last thing from me: anxiety leads to cortisol in your blood which dampers fat burning mechanisms, therefore it leads to more anxiety to form a vicious cycle so stop fretting over every little (kilo)gram

bioimpendance scales have great error margin compared to dexa and submersion tests since hydratation alters your measurement, even dexa can be imprecise if done poorly. the online calculators are based in statistic methods and regressions with values from dozens of thousands of people made with adipometers/calipers. So in…

i think most people test after a fasting period or after waking up and before eating anything. don't get frustrated because it tests what is in your blood not what is in your cells, in another perspective you might be eating something that is triggering your insulin a little.

i will break from my cut as taking calories as i would be maintaining weight

well i am kinda halfway there but my total goal is losing 40 pounds, i started off around 220lb before i knew MFP

i am 6' and if i weighted 175 i would be around 7 to 8 % body fat which is very hard to maintain, instead 180lb will give me around 12% body fat and it's my main goal, so i suggest you revise your goals and try to increase your lean mass and i eat around 1400 cal/day and never felt better saw your diary and i think you are…

stopped listening to random advice and researched myself about dieting

stop using weight as your main measurement. track your body diameters and body fat. if you were a bit dehydrated and using some form of fasting you can gain a lot of weight after strenuous exercise+eating more. and by the way cortisol due to stress can make you have a hard time losing weight, i only hope that your running…

then you need carbs or protein. try some pasta with meat. FYI i removed my gall bladder and i do a high fat diet, it is just a matter of getting used to fat little by little.

almost sure he is logging food incorrectly or his insulin is through the roof

In addition to the other benefits: When your liver breaks the fat cells into ketones and you are in the healthy parameter of ketone bodies, you also expels ketones in your urine and even your breath can carry ketones, so not only your body uses fat to burn for energy and thermogenesis, it also expels the quantity in…

@sijomial i know that is why i said it was inaccurate, i only do this when i swap my training, but at least it gives me a minimum value and doing lifting before cardio also helps in estimating the numbers i know that there is no easy way for this since your muscle size, soreness etc affects the value and if your muscle…

i use sometimes a cardio monitor through the entire training, i found that weightlifting for 20 mins burns me 260~290 calories (surprisingly close to mfp) and when i do HIIT it burns 350~380 calories in 12 minutes (not close in mfp options). so it really depends for everyone, your training program and your physical…

start by decreasing your crap intake little by little, then get some recipe substitutes - use stevia for example. Small steps is the better way. And find something to increase your self respect and do something you like that dont involve heavy drinking or binging. After this start considering entering a diet.

i am on keto but i fixed sunday to eat whatever i want or refeed some carbs and since i am cutting i dont go over my calorie intake. obviously i eat only in nice places, since i wont eat much i can try some gourmet stuff once a week. No alcohol by the way. When i reach the calorie limit i stop there even if i got a single…

soooo, did the OP quit?

my advice is: stop looking for shortcuts and short term losses, most of the successful people lose the most over a year There is no "fast" help. face the facts and be serious about it

i lost 10kg and i am now at 25% BF and my mom says: you are so skinny, eat more or eat this and she gives me that look of pity like seeing a skeleton LOL in opposition i try to brainwash her to do keto just for the giggles i know that she isn't capable of following any diet

merry christmas! just kidding, 3.2 lbs gogogo

i don't. sugar alcohols like xylitol (erythritol) are in fact chains of alcohols that taste like sugar but don't spike your insulin levels because they don't metabolise the same way in your body, people just substract because of this but remember that they still possess calories. Stevia for example isn't a polyalcohol but…

if my enemy is fat then it is bacon. therefore i love my enemy

Maybe just maybe keto diet isn't for you. when i started keto around a month ago, i decided that i needed to revert my fatty liver and my insulin resistance. LCHF diet is usually one of the best diets to treat insulin resistance. I started around 103kg and i am 183cm tal, no gall bladder too. in the beginning i was even…

I am currently doing a cutting keto diet. lost more than 10kg over a month

you need to change your mentality first. if you think you are miserable because you are dieting, you are just preparing yourself to go back up to your unhealthy life once you lost some pounds. and yes it is true that your brain gets addicted to sugar or high GI carbs but once you get over at least a week you won't even…

net carbs = total carbs - fiber for myself i started using as guide some tables and charts that contains which food with less Glicemic index, but i eat according to Glicemic Load in other words, you can eat a slightly higher glicemic food in very low quantities (like dark chocolate) but i avoid very high loads of low…

before i went to keto i did around 2 weeks of paleo diet i think its the easiest "warmup"
