I believe they are inaccurate because for them to register you have to have excess ketones in the urin. You can be is ketosis and not register anything. I use a glucose meter. If my blood glucose in 85+- or less, usually 70-80 then I should be in ketosis. Also if you not careful excessive workouts can raise glucose in the…

I drink coffee every day, 1tbs coconut oil, butter, 80% dark chocolate. Put in a blender and total bliss. I use stivia every day, does not seem to effect my glucose levels, pretty steady at 70 + -. weight still coming off.

Higher carbs with higher fat may cause some weight gain, can't mix the two. In my opinion you eed to be in one side of the fence or the other. My friend has thyroid issues and on meds but is on keto with less than 10 carbs a day with no issues. He is hoping to get off his meds eventually. That being said docs know best. ?

I'f they feel tight, try ice. Ive had 11 knee surgeries so I know knee discomfort. You could also try lemon juice in water to help body ph and counter the high acid. This is hard. How long have you been on keto, is this related, if it part of a transition. Last but not least though keto loves me but I'm not convinced its…

Eggs, beef, chicken, butter, coconut oil, olive oil, cheese, tons of water. %2 carbs in 2k Daily intake

Just joined the group, been on keto for 2 weeks and feel great, no keto flue. 65% fat, 2%carbs and the rest protein. Ive always eaten high protein, lower carbs with cheating of course. After 11 knee surgeries and some Weight gain i decided i needed to get ahead of the game before i got too over weight.

Deeisonamission. Trust it, be smart. Watch for hidden carbs. As far as knowing if I'm in ketosis i use a glucose meter. Test strips and breathalizers don't always work. They can only pick up ketones if you have an excess of them. Over eating, excess hard workouts can cause excess ketones. I just watch my glucose and make…

I've never gotten keto flue but I've always eaten high protein lower carbs. Maybe that helps in transition. I recently started keto 2 weeks ago and felt great from day 1. I started with 60%fat right off the bat and maybe that helps as well

I am not a doctor but from personal experience if you are pre diabbetic I coule cut the carbs drasticaly for a period of 30 days. Check out the book "Your Paleo code" I Im at about %10 carbs and %20 on crossfit days. Works well for me. eat gooe food. Read the book or get the audio book from amazon. really informative.

Nothing to worry about, if it is a good crossfit gym they will accomidate you just fine. As far as weight loss, you can not out workout a poor diet. "Eat to perform" is a crossfit motto. You have to eat correctly or you may not loose much weight. You can not eat too little and not too much. Crossfit can incears your…

Thanks for bringing up cheat days cause I think they are imprtant. The only thing I would add is if your starting out I would not cheat for at least thirty days. Let your system reset. I myself enjoy a monster cheesburger and fresh cut fries on Sunday at the bar when I watch the Vikings play. I do workout still on that day…

I do weighted walking lunges up hill and or weighted hill climbs. all are great for maxing out heartrate.

great all around line up, so simple yet they have the ability to exhaust you completely.

Allergies ( i use the " air born" stuff. it work well and "zycam" spelling? Good add on, My brother is a Firefighter medic and when he first started he did his own study of older people . He would transport 70yr old men who were very alert, sharp mentally and ALIVE. Then there were the others (45 + who lived sedentary…

You can not under eat a poor diet. Its a little more complicated than that.

Your body can convert protien to carbs when needed but not the other way around.

I eat 30-40 grams of carbs a day and about 150-200 grams of protien. I stay far away from all breads, I have rice oce in a while. I eat meat three times a day with lots of eggs and still stay under my 2400 cal intake. The crap food adds alot of empty calories. To loose weight you still have to eat. Eat to little and you…

Eggs for breakfast, chicken, steak, pork chops for lunch. I stay away from processed foods, PB especially. Limit dairy, no milk (almond milk ok). Only hard cheeses in moderation. If it had a face on it Im eating it (lol)

One add-on. If your eating a lower carb diet your sugar wont spike and you dont have the ups and downs. If you have a high sugar diet you may need to eat mor meals. Low fat foods tend to have high carbs in them, all the good stuff was removed. I believe in whole and foods with little to no modifications. Your body responds…

I eat anywere from 1 to 3 times. I find that when I eat correctly Im not as hungry and can go longer. Im not sure of the benefit of that many meals or if it is hype or someones fix to hunger on a more sugar loaded diet. I dont know if people 1000 years ago ate 5 times a day or just one time. I tend to think that they did…

I dont use them or need them even with hi intensity workouts, I just eat real food.

Oh ya if its high I would recommend not jumping down if possible and alternate feet

Ya Ive done my share on 24 and 30 inch boxes. pretty taxing when mixed with other stuff.

Ribeye is the only way to go. I have to try the lime butter. Try portabela mushroom pizza on the grill. Really good. Cover mushroom with olive oil, toaste side down on the grill the put sause, sausage and cheese and finish it off. For me tonight I have my son grilling winglets seasoned with a pork seasoning I get in North…

Sounds good. Yes cheats are good, they are a reset.
