Obviously I am no expert!! The nutrition course cautioned against ketosis. It was a course I took as part of a nursing curriculum. Just a college course.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm no expert, and I won't debate anyone on this topic because again I don't give a damn what anyone else is doing. I am just recalling what I learned in Nutrition 101 and explaining why I avoid ketoacidosis.

I really don't give a damn what other people are doing. I don't do keto because I took a college-level nutrition course that emphasized at least 150 g of carb daily for healthy adults so that our bodies don't go into ketoacidosis, which is not a healthy or natural state. "Ketone bodies are three water-soluble molecules…

very well said and I agree with @janejellyroll Drinking 5 beers on a first date indicates that he either has alcohol dependency already or is at high risk for developing alcohol dependency. This would be a big red flag for me. Sometimes I think that the concepts of alcoholism & alcohol dependency, useful as they are, may…

don't do it, sister! I literally can't believe doctors give out that ish. it's like in the 1960s when they used to just shoot amphetamines into your glutes

on the plus side, you won't get overtraining injuries! bust out a few good weeks, get a nice 10 miler in before the race, you're golden

I run 15-18 mi/week. I run 3 miles in 23-25 min 5 or 6 days weekly. I don't really race. I ran a couple of half marathons many years ago. I run for speed now. have you done any shorter races @mserickson99 ? when is your first half marathon?

and remember, losing weight is about eating less. basically nothing we do at the gym helps us lose weight because working out gives us the hungers. forget what anyone says about raising your metabolism with working out, being able to eat more because you're gaining muscle... that's for like, Michael Phelps. chicks like…

manageable goals are key. start with stretching. Stretch, stretch, stretch, lady. then start with "running 1 mile." you may need to walk/run/walk/run. do this every time you go to the gym. one day you'll run the whole thing. flexibility- I recommend 30 Days Yoga with Adriene on Youtube. It's free, and she's a positive and…

I run regularly but don't use a fitbit. What are your goals @mserickson99 ?

is this for charity? I could do it if it's for charity. or teambuilding. or re-enacting the lives of kinky conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton

I'm just under 5'4" - the most I ever weighed was ~230 after an illness, the least I have ever weighed is 128 after an illness. currently 149 and a size 4 on top and 6 on bottom, I wear anywhere between XS and M usually. I run and do resistance training using machines at the gym. I run 3 miles 5 days/week and do strength…

thanks :)

I don't think I would need to be on this thyroid medication except that my dr thinks it may be contributing to recurrent pregnancy loss
