  • Be careful to watch your electrolytes. A lot of folks end up really tired and run down because they aren't getting as much salt since there is so much in processed food: http://itstartswith30.com/3-common-whole30-symptoms-treatments/ I make bone broth in my slow/pressure cooker and drink it throughout.. really helps in…

  • While I realize this is not viable for everyone, I walk to the grocery store daily after work.. takes me about 25 minutes round trip (not including the shopping itself). 1) The walk and hauling the groceries home is extra exercise (I lift weights too). 2) I don't keep any food in the house. I buy only what I need for a 24…

  • Hi there - I've been on Keto since September of 2011, and thought I'd pass on a few things I've learned along the way. If you live in the US, be sure you are subtracting the fiber from the carbs to get net carbs for keto. Six Brussels sprouts have 12g carbs with 6g of dietary fiber for a total of 6 net carbs. For keto, the…

  • Be sure to take measurements regularly as well. I often gain a little muscle, lose a little weight, and the scale shows little difference. Then I'll find I dropped a couple inches from my waist and/or thighs. The scale doesn't tell the whole story.

  • I eat 1300-1400 calories on work-out days, and 1100 on off days in a window from 5pm-midnight. That just worked out for me because even before Keto, I usually did not eat until late in the day.. I'm a black coffee junkie, so I just don't feel hungry until late in the day. My husband on the other hand, gets shaky, cranky…

  • Plateaus can happen at any time, and can sometimes last 2 to 3 months. I don't even consider it a plateau until it's been a month with no loss, as women tend to stay steady for long periods, and then lose a lot in a whoosh. Caloric deficit does matter when you are as close as you are to healthy weight. Count your calories…

  • My husband and I are doing Keto right now and we love it. /rKeto is a fantastic resource! We're a month in, and for us it does not feel like a diet at all. We actually find it really easy to follow. We DO have a set caloric intake (you will not lose weight on any diet without watching calories). The difference is, because…
