For me, one I build a habit everything is great. I wake up at the same time each morning and fall asleep at the same time. Take measurements weekly and weigh daily (I like seeing the stats in correlation to what I eat and how I exercise, otherwise I wouldn't care to weigh myself as often). This is my third go - I'm more…

Make your diary public and let's have a look!

Jeez, you got me thinking now. I've been scavenging the internet and everybody has a different method. Everyone's reasoning is fantastic. Here's one source that seemed to have a community agreeing on "weigh raw". https://reddit.com/r/bodybuilding/comments/2hsyhu/do_you_weigh_meats_raw_or_cooked/

After thorough searching, you are correct. I was wrong in stating that protein has no effect on insulin response. It absolutely does. Apparently it has a little bit of a different response from how Carbohydrates effect insulin which explains why low-carb diets seem to have accelerated weight loss effects over high-fat,…

Hahaha, see, when you put it like that it sounds like a whole lot of work. I've often contemplated whether I wanted to go the extra mile and re-weigh the bones too because they are probably a significant portion of the weight. But honestly, I think it's easier just to weigh them right after cooking and forget about the…

I don't have children but I was thinking about this the other day actually. I tried something new and thought, "Man, this would be a great family dinner." Try making some keto fried chicken tenders. I had some boneless, skinless, chicken thighs lying around and didn't know what to do with them so I turned them into fried…

Yeah, CKD is incredibly challenging. I'd only recommend it for those who have very specific goals. Re-feed days can be adjusted. For those who are fairly new to the Ketogenic Diet and are interested in the CKD, I would recommend pushing re-feed days to once every 2 weeks at the very least or once every month. This way you…

Basically what he's saying is that once the food is cooked, put it on a scale and then count those. Try weighing them before you cook 'em and once again after. You'll be able to see that some of the weight has been trimmed off from the oven, pan, or fryer. So if those wings are 8oz raw and then 7oz cooked. Go ahead and log…

I think calories in vs. calories out is relevant to any diet, including low carb and keto. The one thing that I actually hate about the Atkin's diet is that he virtually puts no restriction on how many calories you consume as long as you stay below a certain carbohydrate threshold. A low-carb diet is anything less than…

There are a few primary variations of the Ketogenic diet: 1. Standard Ketogenic Diet (SKD) 2. Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD) 3. Targeted Ketogenic Diet (TKD) For the sake of our topic, I won't discuss the TKD. Most of the posts, replies, and comments I've read throughout the forum appear to be coming from those who are…

Take a look at Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% Whey. They probably have the most diverse array of flavors available so there's a lot of choice for the consumer. Most importantly, each scoop only has 3g carbs per serving (each serving provides 24g of protein). It isn't necessarily cheap but Amazon certainly has the…

I kind of read through the first page of posts and didn't really nod my head to many of the responses you got. I can kind of relate to your son in a few ways: When I was in high school, my weakest points were just about everything. My intent was honestly to just graduate and get the hell out (but I think my motivations…

23 and just graduated! Feel free to add

I'd only recommend this one if you're feeling lucky, but most likely will end up prepositioning yourself to get raped. Tinder - Best app…

It's probably a little late now but I'll reply anyways. I also went with the open wound healing process. The issue with me was that getting it drained the first time was so unbearable that I put it off for an incredibly long time. I would've just left it but the fact that it randomly drained was kind of embarrassing, not…

Hey, I just saw your post and thought I'd reach out to you. When I first opened this thread I was still in recovery. It was horrible, as you know. I wasn't in the gym for over a month. Even today it doesn't feel 100% healed, but it hasn't come back yet. After 3 months, you should be all set. I'd call your doctor and ask…

I've posted this somewhere else but I use Pinterest as a cookbook for all of my Keto recipes -- you can check out mine but there are many others on top of what I have now. One of the most difficult things for me on Keto is organising my recipes, I'm being INCREDIBLY inefficient right now by posting all newly found recipes…

"Carb Nite" sounds a lot like the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet -- I wouldn't recommend it for the average person, it's easy to screw up and go the opposite.

Here's a Pinterest board that I created - I store all of my keto/low-carb recipes on here. Some I've tried, others I don't have the ingredients but this should help you out: http://goo.gl/QByOq6 [I forgot if MFP allows hyperlinking or not, it's been a while since I've been here]

How about some OPTIMUM NUTRITION OPTI-MEN?!?

Probably one of the most inspiring stories I've read here, on MyFitnessPal, in the time I've been around. I wish I had something more great to say to you but the only thing I can come up with is, "you're doing it and doing it well." Keep doing your thing, my friend!

Nike doesn't ship to West Virginia? I've been holding off on the Nike and Jawbone monitors because the FitBit Flex looks incredible. I would've preordered one but I didn't have money at the time the preorders were still an option! So I have to wait until they finally launch :(

Good. You should probably never consider attempting to lose weight again. Ever. Hopefully I don't catch you submitting a video to Biggest Loser.

Thanks! Hopefully I don't die from this drastic lifestyle change. I've never gone from being incredibly active/gym every day to being immobile in bed =[

They didn't really give me anything. It was more like they left me with this wound and told me what to do with a followed pat on the butt and a "good luck". My friend, the one changing out the dressings, bought saline solution as well as a seriously expensive packing foam that pulls out the bacteria when you remove it. I…

I almost want to try that but I'm afraid of getting it infected. Every time we remove the dressing there's so much nasty bacteria all over it. But it really does make sense when you put it that way. They gave me Percocet. The pain isn't so unbearable that I think it's necessary but I don't think I'd be able to get to sleep…

Wow! That is incredible! When mine first came in they didn't remove it, they just drained it and it was a pretty horrible experience. Every 2 days sounds like a while. When doing research online I've only run into horrific stories so that kind of put me off even though it's already too late at this point. I'm going on…
