My opinion..... I think your calories are to low. I think even without working out you need at least 1600 calories a day and eat all the calories. NO fat as a lever. I'd also suggest only doing 20 total carbs. Carbs is carbs..the carbs don't magically disappear because you subtract fiber. I'd do your carbs at 20 total, aim…

Happy 30 days Julie. In the beginning of my sobriety I mourned alcohol so much. Then one day the switch hit that really alcohol wasn't my friend... It was my master and I was it's slave. That's when the sadness and missing of my "friend" started to go away. I hope you can get to more meetings and get to work in the steps.…

I requested to join too!!! Great idea. I'm on FB more than MFP

Also to those thinking that it’s so hard to even think about 30 days let alone 6 years believe me I get it. I NEVER intended on being sober for this long. I really wanted to learn how to drink like a lady. I did try controlled drinking experiments and failed every time. My biggest suggestion is to stay in today, stay on…

Yes! I’m in

Today I celebrate 6 years of continuous sobriety. Six years ago I was at an all time low emotionally and my only way to cope with life was drinking to blackout. Even when drinking was fun it was never in moderation. I’m so grateful I had a mustard seed of willingness to try something different. Today I’m living my very…

I wonder if you’re not eating enough. Would you mind sharing your macros?
-
I have an allergy to alcohol. When I put it into my body I can’t stop and I’m not sure what kind of actions I will take. The only way to stop my drinking is by blackout/pass out. One drink is too many and a 100 drinks isn’t enough. I thank God today for my sobriety and God willing I will have 6 years sober on Monday the…

I wonder if you're getting too much protein and not enough fat. Tuna and chicken are high in protein but not high in fat. I've been keto since January 2017 and when I was eating 1300 calories I was in a weight loss stall, I started to lose hair and energy too. I ate at minimum 1500-1800 calories, 20 total carbs, 52-83…

Good luck to all trying to be AF or cutting back. It's so hard! God willing I will have 6 years sober on 08/13/18. I LOVE being sober and have so much more fun sober than I ever did drinking. Best of all NO HANGOVERS!!!

You look amazing...Keep up the good work!!!

There's a great YouTuber out there her name is Michelle Rock who really tries to stay dairy free. I know when I don't eat much dairy I feel so much better.

Forgot to log yesterday but went to the gym again yesterday morning. We did a class called HighNRG. It's conditioning and strength together ... probably my favorite class This morning went to another kickboxing class. Again liked it more than I thought I would... My goal is to go again tomorrow morning and Saturday.

That's wonderful!!!! Congrats. Big accomplishment!!
-
Electrolytes are KEY!!
-
Yea this makes me so happy to read especially when the other day you wanted to stay between 1200-1300 calories!!!!

I eat around 55-60 grams of protein a day. On days I lift I might take it up to 70 just depending on how I feel. The founder of Common Sense Keto has been doing this way of Keto for over 10 years and he's a CrossFit Coach/Athlete. He's shredded and not losing muscle by eating less protein. I think his max protein a day is…

I went into the gym this morning and did kickboxing! Holla! I didn't want to go in but I did it anyway. Super glad I did. Hope you all are having a wonderful Tuesday

I'm ALL about this way of keto. I did CICO for the first 11 months of my keto journey and I hit a wall with weight loss, started losing hair like I was in chemo again, brittle nails, tired/no energy, loss of muscle mass, etc. Since November 2017 I've significantly increased my calories, reduced my protein and increased my…

07/23/18 I planned on going into the gym this morning at 5am to do a ropes class however I had a terrible time sleeping last night (not sure why) so I skipped the gym and today I'm walking on my lunch hour and breaks. Started the Beef & Butter fast yesterday and continue with that today. We'll finish the fast at lunch on…

Based on my personal experience (I've been keto for 18 + months) I think your protein is too high. This will be kind of crazy to most but it's worked amazing for me and I feel so much better...... My suggestion is to keep your calories right where they are... keep your 5% carbs (try to do total carbs too..not net carbs),…
-
I can tell you from my own personal experience that eating at that low of a figure will get you some success but eventually you'll bottom out and stall. With that stall might come hair loss, energy loss, muscle loss, etc.... I eat around 1800-1900 calories and I've been keto for 18 months +. Eating 1800-1900 calories I'm…

I forgot to add... This puts my total calories for today at 1781, 11 total carbs, 164 grams of fat and 65 grams of protein. I usually try to stay between 55-60 but today I'm going a little over on protein.
-
Sure...Here's today. My breakfast and lunch almost never change. NOTE: I'm not the best clean keto eater. Also I always prefill and plan my day out so I haven't had the 2nd fat bomb or the tea with coconut oil. I'll have those after dinner. Tonight's dinner is just grilled hamburgers.

I'm 95% carnivore. I love veggies but just don't eat them too much. I keep my carbs under 20 total a day (truth be told usually 10-15 a day).
-
I always keep my carbs under 20 (I do total carbs not net), on lifting days I almost never go over 80 grams of protein and I will eat about 180 or more grams of fat. If I eat more carbs I feel super bloated and I get joint pain. Also I make sure my electrolytes are in balance.

My name is Tiffany! I've been Keto since January 2017. Keto is the last thing I tried and the only thing that has worked. I've struggled with obesity my entire adult life (I'm 45 years old). When I was 42 years old I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Cancer doesn't run in my family. When I went into remission in…
