I've been doing Keto for a few years, my cholesterol is perfect, I have to have it checked every year because the State of Utah demands it. All I know is this, people have been preaching low fat, high carb, calorie restricted diets for the past 50-years, and we, American's have never been fatter. LCHF Keto solves all of…

If you want to gain muscle mass you need to cut down on cardio (max 30-min. a day), and increase weight training. Really the only 4-weight training exercises you should focus on are Bench Press, Squat, Deadlift, and O/H Press the first year or so (this will help protect your muscle groups), after that you can break down to…

Oh yeah, no bad teeth, and if you don't know what the difference between the truth and a lie is well I don't have time for you.

No drinking, no drugs, no uneducated fools, (I'm about to graduate with my 2nd masters degree). Be kind and have charity, it shouldn't be that hard.

Keto diets are not high protein diets, they are high fat diets. You macros should look something like 75% - 80% from healthy fats, (Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Pure Butter, etc.). 15% - 20% from proteins, (again, beef, fish, chicken, etc.). Then only ~5% carbs. This will put you into ketosis, and you will drop weight really…

@gamerbabe_14 no doubt, keep your opinions to yourself. Some people can't shut their mouths though.

As a "large" man, there's nothing that I think of more than how big I've gotten. I notice the looks I get, the snide comments that are made about my physical shape. But, what they don't understand is I have a horrible disease called Multiple Sclerosis, M.S. I can't workout any more! I can't walk long distances over ~100…

Cloud Bread, made from egg-whites and cream cheese. 0-carb, tastes just like bread. Look it up.

@richardgavel fantastic idea. Before I got sick I was squatting ~625lbs, I started just by sitting on a box I built that was 12-inches high, I did 1000-reps of that. Then switched to just the bar, did ~600-reps of that, then just increased and increased. @sstaley_23 should not be putting weight on his back until he's…

@Flutatious1 and @mom22dogs hit it out of the park, those reasons are exactly why you're not losing weight. I would like to add, you can lift and maintain water weight if you're eating a high carb diet. Cut your carbs to < 100 daily, and that water weight will fall off. Plus, what type of weightlifting are you doing?…

If you would like to gain weight, at any age, it's really simple: cut out all cardio, lift heavy, never above 4-reps. 3 times a week max! Combine that with 2,500 kcal's, 60% carb, 30% protein, 10% fat, you'll put on ~4 - 5 lbs a week. This isn't rocket science y'all.

Hey man, I'm a big lover of Atkins, the original 'keto' diet. I also have M.S. which makes it hard to lose weight. Always looking for friend though, add me if you'd like.

Keep your calories at around 1,200, and your carbs < 20. Do this and you'll lose about 20lbs in 9 weeks.

You'll be okay. Just make everything from scratch.

That's fantastic that so many people are losing weight while still maintaining a high carb diet, 80-250 is high carbs. I personally can't. Me personally I stick to <80 a day. I start the day with 1/2 cup, dry oatmeal, 6 eggs, 2 tbsp of olive oil poured on top. That's right at 30 carbs, (26 for the oatmeal, 4 for the eggs.)…

I know that I try to stay <80 carbs a day. I eat salt and olive oil on everything, drink tons of water, and workout 5 - 6 days a week. I eat this way because I have pretty advanced MS. My neurologist has told me about the Keto diet and honestly I feel wonderful! The first couple of weeks was hard, but I was 310 at…

If you follow my advice or not, you need to be adding a set, per exercise, monthly. Until you hit that 10 set mark. Otherwise your body will become complacent and any gains will become non-existent.

The four exercises I listed are what I call the "Core Four," and they are the only thing you do for about the first year. Many strength trainers follow this plan. If you're weight training 6 days a week, you're doing too much. at most it should be 3 days a week, unless you're past that first year mark that is. 3 days…

In your lifting make sure you're doing compound lifts: Bench, Squats, Deadlift, Overhead press are really the only exercises you should do the first year or so in weight training, doing anything more than that you run risk of getting injured. Keep things light, do the correct form, try to get 10 to 12 reps in, with 2-3…

This is going to sound weird, but please don't laugh; ketchup. I can down an entire bottle of ketchup in one sitting! I put it on everything, chips, pizza, french fries, eggs, spaghetti, toast, anything, I'm totally addicted! I took it all out of my house a few weeks ago and promised myself I wouldn't buy it anymore. 2…

I'll happily add you as my friend. My weight-loss goals are quite extreme, but so is my weight. I'm always looking for friends to help with them.

Try cutting out anything with wheat or milk in it. I had this problem, I didn't go for 5 days, went to the doctor and he ran some test. I found out that I'm both celiac and lactose intolerant. I stopped eating both of those and I don't have a problem now...

I've only been on here for 4 days, but this website is helping me so much. One thing in particular that helps is the food journal. I'm starting to realize all the bad things I was eating and how I got so big, I'm 6' 3", 272 lbs when starting, but I've lost 5 lbs. Stick to the food journal and also get a regular journal and…
