Get down to goal weight, then focus on gaining a lot of leg muscle to get the proportions you want

Definitely lift while you lose weight. You retain more muscle that way.

I started looking at keto last july and ended up doing a soft keto/low carb ( couldn't cut my dairy or coffee with sugar.) If you find keto hard just do low carb and don't forget to count your calories. If you need veggie options or carb substitutes you can eat all the leafy greens; they usually have so much fiber it…

I really can't remember. I heard about the study a couple of years ago and I can't really remember any of the details just the results.

lalalacroix, I'll try to explain the best to my understanding. There was a study done where participants who ate food containing more salt actually ate 15% more calories than a seperate group who ate food less seasoned. I don't know the exact science behind it, but I'm thinking if your food tastes better (aka more salt)…

If you are eating salad make sure to eat it with full fat dressing. Make sure dairy is full fat too. Add half and half to scrambled eggs. Add fat to everything. Also sometimes adding extra salt to your food can make you eat more.

Boiled eggs and instant breakfast

When trying to maintain you should add back calories gradually. I've heard 100 calories a day for 2 weeks and then another 100 calories a day for the next 2 weeks and so on until you notice weight gain and then adjust calories accordingly. Some weight gain is normal with weightlifting. Previous post is right about the…

Could you possibly do other exercises that wouldn't cause a flair up while your feet recover. Maybe bicycling or swimming?

A teaspoon of peanut butter and a cup of milk. I'm low carb.

Lobster is over rated.

Baking, especially this time of the year. And then eating whatever I've made😉 The whole process is just relaxing. I don't get to it very often as I have a 1 and 3 year old, but when I do, I take my time and go through the steps. A good hour or two is usually enough to unwind and set me in a good mood for a couple of days.

I've heard cauliflower is a good substitute for potatoes. It might look a little funny but if you chop it up, boil it and add it like potatoes to a potato salad it might taste alright. I have no substitution idead for pasta, sorry.

I would prefer doing some of both. Eating at a deficit makes you lose both fat and muscle mass. In order to minimize muscle loss I highly recommend doing some weights in your workouts and eating moderate amounts of protein throughout the day.

What works for me is egg whites, greek yogurt, beans and lentils

Hey there! I'm nursing as well. I think you can adjust your macros by going into the goals section and changing the percentage of macros to the amount you want. Don't really know how much of each macro is recommended, I always just made sure to get in my calcium and prenatal and eat till full. HTH

Try changing it up as much as possible so you don't get bored. If you have a friend who knows about weights they can show you the basics. Or at the gym you go to maybe you can ask for some pointers from someone who works there or sign up for a couple of personal training sessions. Once you get the basics down you can…

I've been doing a soft version of keto (50-75gm) for about 7 weeks plus working out half hour cardio and 10 minutes of weights almost every day. I've been hesitant to go below 50 grams of carbs because I'm still nursing my 13 month old and am worried about her milk supply and a nutrient deficit on my side. I lost 10 lbs…
