So do you think that a collagen supplement may help, or would my diet be enough? Hmmm, I'm very interested in the massage idea as therapy not only for my sore muscles but to also help with my cottage cheese skin. Thank you KnitorMiss...maybe, i'll look into that and budget that in :)

I've had several surprises from the Keto way of eating so far, and I am hoping more will come my way...specifically fat loss and a good blood panel. What has surprised me the most was the reduction of inflammation and knee pain from too much weighted hiking, sports and torn ACL's in earlier years. After a couple weeks of…

I've been missing oatmeal too lately. I'm going to try this sometime soon and it's about 330 calories and has 20ish each of fat and protein with 2 net carbs. If i do try it out, I'll give an update. 3 tbs grd flax seed 3 tbs chia seeds 1/2 almond milk 1 tbs unsweetened coconut stevia

SW: 183 Sunday May 6-176.5 Sunday May 13-175.3 Sunday May 20-172.8 Sunday May 27 So the scale was up and down this week again, and i was feeling a little deflated that i wasn't seeing the weight loss progress that I was hoping for. Well to my surprise this morning I am down 2.5 lbs after a bigger meal last night, but i am…

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms! I just came back from living in a hotel and on the road for two weeks for work, and eating out everyday was a challenge. I'm looking forward to getting back into my routine at least for the next few weeks, and hopefully fitting in some exercise. Overall, my weight has been fluctuating…

Congrats stormywxs288!! What an achievement of not only losing 45lbs since January, but having eliminated all your health issues and getting back in the game! Looking good! :)

Hi everyone! I'll be back for May which will be my second month of Keto, and so far it's been really great! I learn something new everyday, and my progress has kept me motivated. I don't comment very often, but I do love how this group is so supportive of each other and I enjoy being part of a keto community and am…

Good point @canadjineh, that does happen and it's a great reminder to listen to your body. I've only been eating keto for a couple+ weeks and i've gotten this full sensation quite a bit. I average around 1200 calories now, but prior to Keto 1200 calories would make me feel like i was starving! I actually forgot to eat…

WOW NikkiJRM...You look amazing! Congrats on your 80 lb loss! :smiley: You're so inspiring to the rest of us!

It's expected after a year of eating junky carbs and whatever i want. My doctor was debating on whether to put me on…

Kudos to everyone for keeping up the great work!! I've allotted myself a reasonable deficit, (but not too drastic) and i noticed that I seldom use…

I have heard some about this, and I think it's interesting and worth taking a look at Phinney and Volek, to see if they have specific nutritional guideline ratio's. Thank you for sharing...so much too learn!

@KaitlynPerl- I listened to yesterday's 2 keto Dudes on my walk yesterday,with their interview with Jessica Turton RD. I enjoyed the RD perspective and would like to checkout their website when I have more time. I can see myself as a regular with their podcasts. @KristinLeeD, agreed. It's hard to change one's way of…

Funny! I had to look this up :)

Wow, amazing progress since February! Keep up the great eats!

I have always struggled with my weight and was able to mitigate that struggle with intense cycling, running, and sports for a while, but my weight eventually crept up over the years. I tried low fat, high fiber, counting calories, vegan, vegetarian for years and that never seemed to work. I was always hungry and my fat…

SW: 183 CW: 179.5 Sunday 04/01=180 Sunday 04/08=179.5 Sunday 04/15 Sunday 04/22 Sunday 04/29 When I came back from my road trip on 4/5, I was up by 4lbs. This morning I was surprised to see the scale at 179.5...yay! So far so good on the Keto way of eating. @eggfooyamyam and @stormywxs288 thank you for sharing your video…

I just ordered a MCT powder that I plan to mix in with my coffee or smoothies. From what I understand it helps with achieving ketosis and workout performance, but doesn't have the oil slick nature of bulletproof coffee. I'm new at low carb/keto and debated whether the MCT powder would even help, but decided to give it a go…

SW: 183 CW: 178 Sunday 04/01=180 Sunday 04/08 Sunday 04/15 Sunday 04/22 Sunday 04/29 I just came back from a road trip and was not able to eat Keto, so it'll be interesting to see how much i gained. Back to business now and will have to learn how to adapt to keto when i'm in less than ideal circumstances.

Hi folks, new to keto started on March 25th. So far I'm loving the keto/low carb way of eating. Would love to join you in this challenge. SW: 183 CW: 178 Sunday 04/01 Sunday 04/08 Sunday 04/15 Sunday 04/22 Sunday 04/29

A big THANK YOU to Mark for orchestrating another well organized, successful cycling challenge. I truly enjoyed it, and am thankful for you and the challenge getting me back on my bike!!
