Thanks - that thread will take a week to read - :)

2 pieces 72% chocolate - broken up and 1/2 cup blueberries

The idea is to lose weight and keep it off - if that didn't work last time - it makes sense to use a different approach.

Homemade cake - multi level sponge alternated with sugar high icing 1.5 thick by 4"x5"

What's clean?

no - last time I closed was several years ago

Questionable if they work

Thats a stumbling block for me - I loosen up on keto on Saturday - but my training days are Sunday/Wed/Friday - so I would have three days in a row with too many carbs.

Thanks

Rule 4 - watch your electrolytes

Possibly the exact opposite http://www.webmd.com/diet/obesity/features/6_meals_a_day#1

I am so sick & tired of people failing to understand that ketosis and ketoacidosis are not the same. http://www.healthline.com/health/ketosis-vs-ketoacidosis

This for sure - it's a serious change that should not be jumped into without knowledge. It works for me- but I'd prefer a less stringent approach.

Simple answer re keto - having spent 20 years tying to avoid fats - I now eat coconut oil by the spoonfull and eat tons of cheese. I've lost so much weight on the last 2 years - I'm the lowest weight I've been in 30 years and my blood tests are all normal. I don't bother with keto recipes.

I've thought about it - but have two problems with it - I have three monitors and 3 keyboards on a custom modified desk - so I'd have to make a new desk [ I used to make custom furniture] Also I have occassioal neurlogic problems that are triggered by standing for too long.

I'm self employed - working from my home office. I have an Aeron/Herman Miller posture chair - which solved severe back problems I used to have. But in the last year I switched from 4 hour shifts to 7 - which maybe part of the problem. I had been considering quitting my job, but so far the yoga is helping enough.

good idea - I've read his web stuff and like it

Pressure on my bladder. I just started yoga a few weeks ago. My back is a mess cause I have an online support job where i'm sitting for 7 hours with a 30 minute break - no chance to take 5 minute breaks. I'm doing mainly restorative yoga from books + youtube and I had two intensive one on one classes. Its made a big…

Yes - sounds similar - also explains my thirst

I'm surprised - its not that I've been back on keto for a few days - just today - my guess is I was up near 250 carbs on Friday and Saturday. OTOH - the excess water seems to have cleared up

Thanks - I've been drinking salted coffee - yuch - luckily I work at home next to the bathroom Also - do you think doing Yoga- puts pressure on things and makes it worse - I'm mostly using poses for back pain.

Is there any link you can provide that backs this up?

Agree - its not ketones that you eat - its ketones your body creates - telling you you are not eating carbs

Add the fact that not all the food you eat gets digested-and that varies for each person....CICO is not science at all- its approximates.

Good stuff -- one size does not fit all

I would skip all of those I have a fake "junk" food item - that I use when its' a generic treat - the act of entering it is more important than getting the exact calories and save the hassle of lookin up the right item

You want to lose 15lb a month and put it back on...... strange

If you put all the weight back on - then low carb was not a sustainable solution for you. [BTW I'm on keto - but until I lose all the weight and keep it off - I wait and see]

Do they provide detailed instructions on keto stuff - like electolytics?
