No workout yesterday, had to have a day off as 5 days riding in a row was enough that my body needed a day off. burned 475 calories doing 33 minutes of Bicycling, >20 mph, racing (cycling, biking, bike riding) 33:55, 20km/12.43 miles , 475 calories. Again, started at 25(max), stayed there until the end.

https://old.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/5owoxy/pickled_eggs/ A few recipes are being shared in that thread.

If I need to make a lot, which is the case if making the mashed caultatoes, I use a pot on the stove with my steamer basket. After that, it's puree time in the food processor. As for riced cauliflower, I usually just buy it in bags. I could try the riced recipes, but I've been lazy about that. Caultatoes are good enough…

This is probably the best and first question a returning person should ask themselves. My only advice is to find what works, and stick with it. Think long term, and handle each day at a time. That way, if you have a bad day, log it all and move on to the next, with the long term goal and mindset as your focus. A bunch of…

Tonights workout was for me a victory. I've done 34:21, 12.4 miles (20k) tonight, burning 466 calories tonight. That's cool and all, but my victory was starting at 25, my bike's max resistance, and pedalling all the way through the 34 minutes. That's a milestone I didn't expect to find this early.

You can also (and my favorite for the stuff) make fantastic mashed caultatoes from it. So tasty. The consistency and texture is great. Add a bit of gravy and some roast, and you'll be asking yourself "who cares about potatoes". Cau-li-flow-ers. Boil em, mash em, stick em in a food processor.

NP, I hope it is useful. Make sure you're tracking those alcohol carbs/info as well. I know it's harder to do and think of when imbibing of a few brews, but the things that seem hard at the start get easier with time. Plan out what you might have, track it, then drink. Set yourself a limit, etc. The phone app makes this…

Track everything you can. Estimations can get you in trouble, as our eyes are bad at estimating calories. Eat when hungry (within reason of course), hit your protein macro, don't overdo the carbs, think long term, and just stick with it. Artificial sweeteners can cause issues. Some are fine, some aren't. Depends on the…

XG works so well. There's a reason it was used so much before we keto'ers stumbled upon it.

Aldi made keto possible. Items cheap enough to not blow the budget. Half and half, cream, butter, almond milk, coconut oil, eggs, bacon, ranch, cheese, hamburger, chicken, spinach, riced cauliflower, and so on. All cheap, delicious, and trackable easily on here. Shopping at Aldi already cut my budget a ton, as I don't…

Howdy folks. Started keto mid-July, didn't figure I'd stick with it a week before I killed someone for a bowl of pasta. Day 137 now. Down 30kg (66lbs), a bunch of pant sizes, a few shirt sizes, and feeling great. Hands work again, up and biking 10+ miles,5 times a week or more. I needed to know if I could go back to a…

I use my older shirts for workouts now, as they are nice and baggy. I'm donating my pants and shorts, as they're just uncomfortably big, and I don't workout in them. Luckily, my dress shirts fit better and the extra can be tailored to fit anyway.

30:20 and 10 miles. Didn’t plan to workout at all today. I certainly didn’t want to. I was super sore already.
-
Sore. My legs need a night off.

Just remember that fat is a limit, protein is a goal. I usually try and hit my protein goal by dinner, and then if I am hungry after that, I augment with the fat I have left in my liquid fatbombs. Not saying to go over the protein by a ton or anything, just try and hit your macros as best you can and keep logging those…

30 minutes bike, 10 miles.

I had no plans to workout tonight. I didn’t want to workout tonight. I ended up doing 10 miles on the bike and 30 minutes. Working out when I absolutely don’t want to is a victory for me. I wasn’t fat for a lack of trying to not be active..

Salmon, mayo, eggs, cheese, avocado, coconut oil, real butter, good meats, dressing, and so on. It really is easier than you think. Getting meat sometimes can be a pain, as there are days when I do t want to eat meat. Protein shakes, nut butters, and bars help tremendously those days. Good luck with your journey into…

Np! There's a really good walkthrough on the app for setting your goals, based on what your diet or goals are.

If I need something with flavor, Mio is my goto, or the aldi brand. Generally it's something with Sucralose or a standard Perrier carbonated water.

Works pretty well for me. But I find that like most things, you get what you put in. Just try and get yourself in the habit of using it daily, and eventually you'll find yourself hitting goals, months passing, and so on. Welcome to MFP!

60:02 on the bike, 18.7 miles, did most between 11-14, with the last 20 minutes between 13-25 (max for my bike).

When I knew I was gonna be sticking with keto for a while, a salad spinner was worth getting. A few bags of spinach a week really makes it worth it. Also, dunno what it is, but the pre-riced cauliflower stuff that's sold frozen just always comes out bland to me. Worth grabbing, but needs a bit more seasoning that other…

4 months since my carpal tunnel had been an issue. Carb heavy days have wrecked that and brought back the numbness and weakness in my hands. This was the practical test I needed to find out if I could go back to a normal diet. A resounding “nope” is the answer. Now, I some muscle rub and naproxen.. as I am inflamed and…

Np! Aldi has bars for $2 a piece. Quite a good deal compared to the keto branded stuff on amazon at $15.. 8 net carbs IIRR.

Welcome and good luck on your journey! My favourite lunch for keto is probably a chicken Caesar salad. Bacon, hard Parma grated, good dressing, egg, chicken, added spinach (need that potassium). If you do meal prep, keto has plenty of options. Once you get onto what works for you, it’ll be really easy to just get into…

Just the default gel cushion that came with the bike. Gonna look for a better one this month. From my initial dive into the world of choosing a saddle, the wife/flaired saddles are the wrong ones for extended riding. But the padding this chamois has is just not very good.
