It depends on your approach to cycling. If you are just counting time spent on a bicycle, basic transportation pedaling sometimes etc. probably not. If you are maintaining a continuous output, conscience of cadence, average speed, and so on it is a vastly different energy expenditure.

The situation you are referring to would put him in the small group mentioned above. If he was like most of us he would have a threshold by which his adipose tissue would not accept anymore fats/glucose stores no matter how much insulin was released, insulin resistant. If he falls into the small % of people who can create…

I thought the old platform suggests that most people who are overweight, and in particular hold fat around the midsection, are insulin resistant. Not that the resistance made them that way. The fact that the people who can produce new adipose tissue sites represent only a very small percentage of the populous, would not…

Am always interested in learning, so.....I was under the impression Insulin was responsible for the storage of fats/obesity. The high carb diet causes more/greater insulin spikes, and a prolonged duration of insulin, which is responsible for resistance. Resistance/pre-diabetic leads to higher, and higher releases of…

Most people see nutritional yeast as a low cal. supplement for b vitamins.....I see it as an edible form of speedy dry for the oil spill on my plate. I did log those 2 tbsp of butter etc. after all.

On a standard carb rich diet I eat all the time, boredom eating, over eating, and all the other eating. Since starting the lchf I have incorporated an IF protocol, with a standard eating window between 4:30 and 6pm. Usually consisting of 2 meals with a brake in between of about an hour. It is working well for me, although…

I have been doing well with Keto for the last month+ That being said, I am no expert, but have seen great results so far, and always welcome some new friends. Add me if ya like.

For what it is worth, I have eaten a lot of raw eggs over the years. Homemade mayo, Whey protein shakes have a much better texture with a raw egg thrown in the mix etc. Never was super picky about where I got them, walmart, gas station, supermarket and so on. They say about 1 in every 10000 eggs has salmonella.....the odds…

I definitely require the fat to be satisfied in between meals. I do still have some of my own fat reserves to go through however. I tend to make foods that are high in fat, reasonable in protein, loaded with calories. This is what meal prep looks like yesterday.... Ground smoked duck 1/2lb, 1Cup smoked cheddar, wrapped 1…

This post doesn't make it clear what your goals are, but you can definitely start a path to something new....and better. I gave up alcohol for over 12 years at 1 point, and then decided I needed reminding why I don't drink anymore, and went back a couple years ago. After some making up for lost time, I have been dry since…

I have been rockin' that sober life since 2-18-18 currently, and will commit to continuing through May.

So far I am accomplishing the weight loss goals at a healthy rate, and feel amazing by comparison to the way I was eating previous to this. Keeping carbs low is never a problem for me, I used to use bread for things like holding sammiches together, and soaking up bacon grease in the pan, but have basically no sweet tooth.…

Not the responses I expected, but good info. I appreciate it. I suspect some these differences are based on eating windows, and if you are using an IF strategy or not. At the current time I find the level of fat to be fairly important....hunger control and energy.

Today was an off day, I did not buy the meats. Normally my balance of things has been good, not always the highest quality, but macros and results have been good. I am curious mostly about others experience with the learning curve.

Hello from Western Massachusetts!! :) :)

About a half lb. of brisket, the last of what I smoked the other day. Spinach/Kale mix, sauteed in coconut oil, spiced with garlic, and soul seasoning. Topped with smoked cheddar.

Asparagus, fried with butter, and garlic. 2 duck eggs, and some chopped smoked sausage, fried in coconut oil.

Looking to continue enjoying the BBQ I make, without continuing to buy pants with a bigger waistline.....so far so good!

I have been using it in my coffee now, and then. Only in the morning, and only before a workout of some variety. I would not use it at the end of the day to try, and hit perfect macros. i It does come with some fast energy for me that would disrupt my sleep patterns, I think.

The portion control is definitely an adjustment....I have always thought some things were ridiculous though. Never understood why restaurants would advertise 3 egg omelets like it was something to brag about,lol.

Bare bones from 95....7spd.

Do you have any preconceived ideas about eating fat. If it comes down to it, are you going to melt a couple tbsp. of straight butter into your coffee just to make your macros that day? If not other diets may work better for you.....for what it is worth buttered coffee is delicious!

If you are only gonna have 1 meal today ....make it count!

I have been using MFP to track macros etc, with the settings modified to accommodate 20% protein. There are often days I exceed the protein macros, and that is what has put me in the g/per kg formula I am currently using. So by your experience, you think I could add another 10% and maintain a state of ketosis?

On average I probably eat back about 50% of them.....this is not based on any particular science, but it is what I do.

I understand this formula as being part of a standard lifting/nutrition protocol. I also understand the importance of exercise including resistance training. The Keto diet if followed in it's traditional format does not allow for this type of protein consumption. What I am specifically asking is for those following the…

Trail runs along some railroad tracks here in Western Mass.

I have been doing the Keto diet about a month....it depends on you how well it will work. It works well for me. If it is something where you enjoy these types of foods anyway, that helps a lot. You can lose weight on it, but will still have to calorie restrict to make progress. High fat leaves you feeling fuller longer, so…

I agree very quiet around here....went to the same location today, but managed to get in another ride last Wednesday at a new spot. I will def. be going back! http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e132/knotgood77/Scenic%20pics/Picture0418181200_1_zpswqw9ozkb.jpg…
