28 miles done.. I could keep going, but a sore bum is to biking as a missing shoe is to walking. You can still do both, but it's not comfortable. Better padded bike shorts are on my mind.

I used several flavours of onnit emulsified MCT oil, and sugar me science brand stuff which gave me an allergic reaction, and doubt either really did much besides add a new and unpleasant flavour. I already have coconut oil every day in my diet. For the price of the MCT oils, I can get a giant pack of protein drinks and…

I find that if I make sure I am under 30 total via the app throughout the day, I usually am under or at my 20 net goal when I check with the script on my pc. Most days I’ll end at 20-25 total unless I add in something like a different protein shake, some string cheese post workout, a yogurt, or a low carb treat. 5% ended…

Yeah this feeling is something I haven’t missed for the past 4 months. Like waking up with a hangover. I’d assume I’d feel worse, but I got a hard push anaerobic 30 minutes in last night. Today was gonna be the last of my carb days to be normal for the holiday.. but I can’t do it. My fat is melting and I have a muscle milk…

I tried 85% and 70%, and found 85 just too bitter. If using a keto sweetener, it might work. 75% was fine once you got used to it. Just at the edge point, but still decent.

I have not been as hungry since starting keto as I have been today. I constantly have felt hungry all day.. Ravenous as times.. I've eaten a ton of protein and fat.. but carbs and sugar I think are the culprit. Can't wait to get back to keto-normal tomorrow/saturday. I feel like I used to, where 3,000-4,000 calories of…

Hopefully the answer isn't "Well I work on this research base off the coast of Costa Rica, where this new animal we've engineered is being tested on a ketogenic diet of high human fat and protein". Anywho, I've asked this same question, mainly to make sure I wasn't going to ruin months of work for the sake of holiday…

I was never a big fan of thanksgiving. Just too much stress and emotions out on a single day. I enjoy seeing people but wish people would just do something more often than this late in a year. Sadly, now thanksgiving is the anniversary of my brother dying. This means some years the anniversary is thanksgiving day.. For…

Always check nutritional labels! Then, make the determination if the total carbs are worth it to add to your diet for the day. https://old.reddit.com/r/keto/comments/2era8q/is_matcha_keto_friendly/ According to this thread on /r/keto, it seems to be somewhat keto friendly.…

Most "keto" tagged products seem to be a ripoff.. It's like low carb plus a 50% markup. I use vitamins like D3 since I know I get SAD each year and 4000IU brings me back to normal, a multivitamin, fish oil if I'm not eating actual fish that week, mag, potassium. If I notice I'm getting an extended deficit of anything…

A good tailor's tape, time, a scale, and persistence are going to be your best friends, months later. Just stick with it. The sticking with it part seems to be the hardest thing to do.

Started Keto: July 18 Starting Weight: 174kg/383.6lbs Sunday 10/28: 148.4kg/327.2lbs Goal Weight: 78.5kg/173lbs Sunday 11/04: 146.14kg/322.2lbs Sunday 11/11: 144.24kg/318lbs Sunday 11/18: 144.3kg /318.2lbs Sunday 11/25 Today's Weight: 143.78kg/317lbs Not too concerned over the weight today. Was at 142.8kg earlier in the…

Yeah I think the activity portion was the key. I was still on the bike busting my butt for these 2 days of carbs. It was a noticeable difference on my ride today.. felt like crap around mile 11. For me, Keto biking is more like a slow burn that just keeps on going. Just endurance for days. This felt like carb exhaustion.…

Quest protein chips are pretty dang good. I haven't had chips in ages. These hit the spot. Sort of taste like a goldfish cracker in consistency, with a decent nacho cheese taste. I was never a chip person, but a bag of these really helps me feel normal, and normal is something I can do for years and years, which is my…

Check labels, estimate the best you can, just not much to be done if you can't see a serving nutritional info card. MFP's database does have a good range of foods to go from, if you need to try and find something similar. At least entering that plus the serving size, say a cup, 10oz, etc, can help. It's something at least.…

I stopped using them entirely after a bit over a week of them showing full results consistently, and then feeling like I was in ketosis with smaller results showing on the stick. Just seemed like a waste to keep using them after a few weeks of sticking to the diet. Months later, no regrets. I found my old bottle and…

Lose 8kg(17lbs) more by New Year's Day. Lose 65kg (144lbs) more total. Stop before that if I find I am at the healthiest weight for my frame. My 2019 goal weight is 102kg(225lbs). If I hit my NYD goal weight, that would give me a year to lose 33.5kg(74lbs), which I think is possibly doable with Keto, CICO, and doing 300…

On /r/keto on the side bar there's a MFP tampermonkey script that adds net carbs to my table. I generally use that for my reference. https://old.reddit.com/r/keto/ Git link: https://github.com/Surye/mfp-keto-userscript Obviously this won't work/show on the app, but for desktop it's just fine.

Is it really day 121 for me? 50 days and 8.6kg (19lbs) left until my yearly goal. Hope everyone else is having success and hitting their macros!

Good luck on your journey! I hope you will stick with MFP and/or the goal you've set yourself. I know that it can seem daunting losing the triple digits. Still working on that myself. But as today is day 120 of tracking everything via MFP, and day 118 keto, I know it's doable if you can find what works and stick with it.

Ugh, ketoflu. That was the worst and I dropped weight way too fast, probably to a dangerous level, before figuring out I could use powerade zero. 3 days of those got me through that and never had an issue like that since. Pretty sure that was mostly severe dehydration and nutrient loss. Turns out, the water-per-kg ratio is…

I’ve stuck with keto and keeping 20-25 carbs a day since I started. The situations like the holidays coming up are something I am dreading going through , since I have no idea what eating a normal, much less thanksgiving dinner is gonna he like. As far as I know, I haven’t had enough carbs to leave ketosis in any major way…

New to the group, not to MFP. Started in July at 173kg (383lbs), but I figure my true highest weight was around 180kg (396ish) last winter. Current weight: 146kg (322lbs) Year's End Goal Weight: 135kg (299lbs) Overall Goal Weight: 78kg (173lbs) Keto day 112 or 113, I've lost count tbh. I started tracking CICO at the start,…

Hello past me, it’s present me. 57 days left, 23 more pounds. Good luck to future me and everyone else on their journey! (I was doing until New Year’s Day)

Blue. I miss the sun. I'm very much a child of spring and summer.

The website shows the 1 pound of wings at 790 calories. A 10 piece boneless comes in at 1060 calories. Are you sure you selected the right entry? MFP is great, but there are a bunch of incorrect entries to sort through. https://www.stlouiswings.com/menu/wings/ Maybe the listing is for the 1lb wings with another sauce?

Being able to do 5 years of maintenance seems like a fantasy for me. Then again, 101 days ago sticking to a diet seemed like one too. I can't wait to hit my goal weight and start that maintaining cycle. I figure I have 1-2 more years (conservatively and cautiously) to lose the weight, and then a lifetime to keep it off.

Started mid-July, 55lbs down. Really nice to see others doing so well! Good luck to everyone else!
