I am debating whether I want to do this challenge. I have been maintaining well without logging or doing challenges. I did injure myself in October, so my exercise has taken a hit, and I am trying to get back into it without re-injuring myself. I also think now that I have a year of maintaining under my belt, I am…

Because that is what weight does. As PAV888 said, if you add extra carbs, you will gain because storing glycogen will require water. When it comes to it, you really haven't given enough information for a more specific answer.

Going Keto took me from 6.3 to 5.1 in a matter of months. It happens to be a way of eating that works for me, so I have stuck with it now for almost 3 years, and I plan to eat this way the rest of my life.

The issue with net carbs is some (many in fact) sugar alcohols (maltitol for example) have a glycemic index and thus induce an insulin response. They are subtracted when calculating net carbs. I personally have used both. I would suggest focusing on total carbs to start, and when you are settled in the keto way of eating,…

I tried to keep going here, and I still infrequently check in, however, my new job has been extremely draining not leaving much energy for groups. I also have now maintained my weight for almost a year without logging, for that matter, I stopped logging food on MFP once they got rid of the newfeed. Now if I log, I do it on…

I am rarely on here anymore, but I saw your post and wanted to respond. For me, Keto (now more Carnivore) was the answer for my constant struggle with weight. I have lost 100 pounds, and now I am within 2 months of having maintained that loss for 1 year, which is the longest I have maintained weight loss. If this way of…

Allulose is not splenda. Splenda is quite different. You may want to research that a bit.

Still going well with sticking to my goals. After Easter, my weight it up a bit, but still in my maintenance range. I did pretty much stick with Keto eating for Easter. I did give in on several hot cross buns after church on Easter Sunday since I expected it to be a spluge day. However, I stuck pretty much to keto at our…

I am doing really well sticking to my goals. The best part is my weight has dropped below my original goal weight by almost 2 pounds. I have been playing with losing another 5 or so pounds, but this was not intentional at all. I need to get in the walking because my new job has me sitting at a computer for 8 hours a day,…

I have been sticking with my goals this week. I have followed my workout schedule, and have walked every day, usually first thing in the morning. The exception for the first thing in the morning plan was Tuesday. I had a very stressful first day at my new job on Monday followed by a really bad sleep that night (my brain…

Once I was "fat adapted" I found I didn't have the morning munchies. Since going more carnivore, I generally eat once a day after getting home from work, and I don't get hungry until about the same time the next day. When I do get hungry earlier, it is usually because I didn't have enough fat.

You are welcome. I have found these challenges helpful personally and for keeping this group active. I figured things were busy with you.

As a man I get lots of friend requests from people who are supposedly very young, attractive females.

Today is a rest day from my workout plan, so I just had my 20 minute walk this morning. Even though I was more tired than I like from having to stay up until later than usual waiting for something my wife (who is ill and went to bed early) was cooking to finish, I dragged myself out of bed, and I went for my walk. It was a…

Eat your eggs. Dietary Cholesterol has little or nothing to do with blood cholesterol for the vast majority of people.

I have been doing well weight wise last month, although we had a nasty virus go through our house which basically knocked me off my exercise schedule for a week and a half or so. My goal is to get back to my regular workout schedule, and to add 20 minute walks every morning for at least 5 days each week.

Asking in the Low-Carbers group here might get more responses. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum

I wasn't going to respond since this thread is from 2020, but the assumption that people will fail at continuing to eat Keto at a greater rate than people fail at sticking with counting calories is simply wrong. There are many people who have been eating Keto for decades. For me it has been 3 years now, and I cannot…

Here is a fairly active group of Low-carb people here on MFP https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum

Check out this group. It is a fairly active group of low carb, keto, and carnivore people. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum

If you get the meat from a butcher, as your butcher.

Meat.

You may want to join this group. There are many knowledgeable people there who have been doing low carb for a long time. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum

How long have you been doing low carb? While you may be drinking lots of water, low carb diets usually result in lots of water loss, especially in the first several months. That will pull out electrolytes. I would suggest trying a carb free electrolyte with your water, especially until your body adapts to your new way of…

Butter, tallow, lard.

Yes, that is the default here. My personal opinion is that is likely too high for many people with the huge percentage of people in the US and Canada who are insulin resistant, pre-diabetic, and diabetic, most of whom don't even know they have those issues.

I never had the keto flu. Of course, since it is flu season, and some nasty viruses are going around it is quite possible that you could have one of them. This is what Google gave me when I googled Keto Flu Symptoms: Keto flu is a collection of symptoms that can occur when starting a ketogenic diet. Symptoms include…

The one that you can not only stick to while losing, but that you can stick to when you are maintaining. Anything else fails from my experience. For me, that is Keto/Carnivore, and it took me a very long time to discover that.
