Low carb is fine, but in any microbiology class we are taught that ketosis is not good for you. Sure you can lose weight with it, and pretty quickly too, but it's bad for your body and its really easy to gain weight back. If you're going to do the low carb thing, I suggest you at least have one day where you include carbs.

It does not all get converted to glucose. There are different kinds of sugar and your body does process them differently. They teach this in any basic microbiology class. ** adding to this, sugars are used to make ATP which is the energy that your cells use. Glucose just happens to be the first one that is utilized. Once…

Anything that you can find online that doesn't require extra equipment is ideal

You look amazing! Definitely not 50. I love seeing stories like yours. It gives me the motivation to keep pushing. Thank you for your advice. I'm not worried about getting bulky. I do want more toning though.

Can these be found online? I go to the gym for cardio, but I like being able to do things at home too.

I meant gain muscle. As I'm losing fat there, my leg are looking more skinny fat. Everyone I talk to suggests squats, but my knees are messed up and they really hurt. My calves are nice and tight, just need thigh exercises.

This is me every day. Hope you figure it out. It's 10:30 and I already have a headache and want a nap.

Double post.

I buy simply orange and simply apple. Just tastes better I think.

One that tracks calories too

I took the pills for two days once and it was like coming down with a case of E. coli. Thought I was dying.

I've noticed that, after losing the weight I have, my stomach has gotten lower. Like the fat is hanging down more. I don't know

Thank you! I've seen these natural flavor additives too that have no calories so I might try those instead of creamer. Just can't deal with the headaches and wanting to take a nap at 1030am when I just woke up at 730.

How do you figure lean body mass?

I'm a physical anthropologist, and there IS such thing as big boned. No bones are the same size. Your ancestry plays a large part it it. It doesn't make a huge difference, but it's not irrelevant either. Now to say its an excuse for 50+ pounds is just crazy. But it can make things like wrists and ankles appear larger. It…

My baggy pants make me look like a hobo with no butt.

Oh gosh, I've taken so many meds for migraines that it's messed my stomach up too and now I have horrible acid reflux. I can't completely make them go away, but I've found that drinking cold caffeine with my meds, a dark room. And having my husbanding push the back of my neck with his fingers. Like make tiny circles with…

What would be a good shake without too many calories?

For everyone claiming they are full of preservatives, on the lean cuisine box right in from of me it clearly says no preservatives. It also has 18 g of protein. When your a full time pre med student who also works, sometimes the high sodium is worth it. Just drink more water, which you should be doing anyways. When I can't…
