    in Best Carbs to Eat?? Comment by isabellybelly June 2014
  • Breakfast is usually coffee and greek yogurt or (on training days) oatmeal. Lunch and dinner are protein (chicken breast, dory, tuna, that sort of thing), green veggies (green beans, broccoli, sauteed spinach, etc), and (on training days) some carb (pasta, rice, pumpkin/squash, or beans). The /r/fitness FAQ has been really…

  • The biggest water retention factors for me are hormonal (bat**** close to my period), salt intake, and carb intake. I lose a ton of water weight approaching keto and actually get low blood pressure that I have to manage with increased salt, potassium and magnesium. Since I've started eating more moderate carbs, I retain…

  • I'm working through this same problem. I'm generally hungrier after training so I eat 200-500 calories more, then make it up when I'm less hungry. I try to go low carb but get much better performance when I have moderate carbs on training days. Still working things out. My weight loss has stalled but the inches are still…

  • Just re-read and saw you're eating back all your cardio calories. Consider you might be overestimating calories burned. One change to consider (again, after more observation to develop a hypothesis to test) is to eat back only half your calories. Good luck!

  • Don't panic. There could be other reasons the loss is levelling off - could you be getting your period? Salt intake increasing water retention? Newb muscle gains from first-time strength training? Give it a couple more weeks to observe before deciding what changes to try.

  • I've been lurking a while too and delighted to have found this group. Hi everyone! I have a desk job too, lost some weight over the last year and a half, and now trying to get in shape. Ran 5k for the first time this month (hoping to run a 10k in May), trainer once a week, and want to start outdoor hiking to prepare to…
    in New Female Member Here! Helloooo everyone! Comment by isabellybelly February 2014
  • I've been between 125 to 130 lbs for the last couple of months. Working out more has been making me hungrier and I've reintroduced carbs into my diet (after more than a year of keto), so some of the gain is muscle and water weight. My lothes are actually fitting a little looser than before, but I really would like to break…
