Like I said, your mfp, your rules. Good luck still. I'll leave you to it.

Lots of knowledgeable women AND men on this site. But it's your prerogative. Good luck to you!

First of all FANTASTIC job for losing 92lbs!! How long has you weight loss stalled? You only need a deficit to lose weight. Are you weighing your intake with a food scale?
-
Works like any other diet. Calorie deficit. Congrats on getting started towards a better you!
-
Are you using your own recipes or the database?
-
I'm out! Going to the average guys thread.
-
How are you tracking your intake? Use a food scale if you aren't already, and be patient. It's only been ten days. Weight loss is done by having a calorie deficit, not keto. If the keto diet helps get you there, great! If not, that's ok too.

Food scale. On Amazon for about 12 bucks.

I don't want people to know my real first name.

+1 Also if you are just starting out, some of your initial weight to come off could be water weight. 2lbs is max you should lose per week. Not sure of your stats or goals, but weight does fluctuate due to various factors. Meals large in sodium, TOM, etc... Log accurately, have patience and you'll get there. Also taking…

How highly you regard a product being "natty" vs "unnatty" using your standards doesn't make it a scientific fact. So don't spread "misinformation" or "broad generalizations" unless you can back it up with "links" and "articles" with proof.

Welcome to MFP! Congrats on taking a step to improve your well being. I suggest visiting the "getting started" board, and reading the "most helpful threads" post. Lots of great info. Good luck!

There's also a lot of keto people on the magnifying glass. Search "keto" and I'm sure you'll find a thread or 2.
-
Good luck to you! If you find that you can't stick with keto, just focus on eating in a calorie deficit, which is required for weight loss.
-
How much are you trying to get? Lots of high protien foods out there.
-
Great answers above!
-
I've got good news! You don't need to do cardio or weights for weight loss, just eat in a caloric deficit. I recommend: Buy a food scale, weigh honestly and accurately. Eat to the number mfp gives you. 38lbs to lose, 1lb per week and you'll be there in less than a year! Keep in mind though, weight loss is NOT linear. And…

I'm seeing this... OP is cessi909 Can you quote what you are talking about JerSchmare?
-
The woo tang clan... OP is actually on the CICO side but was settling a debate with someone, who is no longer talking with them. There have been a few that are trying to refute CICO.
-
Need more information on your stats, but 2 lbs in 2 weeks is great! Max is 2lbs per week for healthy loss. Sweat does not equal weight loss, calorie deficit does. Are you tracking your intake with a food scale?
-
That's painting with a pretty broad brush. And an inaccurate one. Creatine is one of the most studied supplements out there. And is safe. OP, feel free to add it to your regimen, or do some additional research. But you're good to go. ETA: but not for weight loss, does nothing for that, good luck man…

You can track fiber. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings Use the drop down menu to change which nutrient you want to track.
-
You're right! You are fortunate you can throw claims around without backing them up. I'm just hoping a newbie doesn't come to this thread and reads your post and think "keto is the only way to lose weight, calories schmalories". Can keto work for them? Sure! Will it? Depends on their goals and if it's sustainable for them.…
-
Your experience with keto does not make it a fact for everyone. CICO is how you're losing weight. Whether you think it is or not.
-
All this.
-
Agreed, fit some goodies into your day. More sustainable if you don't omit foods.
-
Pizza isn't the devil lol. Fit some pizza into your day! Don't restrict yourself too much.
-
Calories decide on weight going up and down. Not keto. Are you measuring your intake with a food scale?
-
Are you measuring your intake with a food scale? If you're just estimating, you could be eating more than you think.
-
You'll lose weight with a calorie deficit. With or without the gym. Make sure you are tracking your food accurately. Recommend a food scale, log honest and accurately. Good luck!
