That is a premium feature on MyFitnessPal. I just do it in my head subtracting the fiber number from the carb number when I am tracking net carbs.

I haven't broken my fast yet. When I do around 6PM tonight, it will likely be a pound of ground beef cooked in whatever way is convenient, 3-4 eggs, and maybe some cheese. That will be my food for the day. Quick, easy, and filling.

Assuming you are logged into the same account on both devices, that should happen automatically. When it stopped doing it for me, I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. That fixed that problem, and now they sync just fine.

Welcome to the group.

Another update. Things are going well. Activity wise, my current lifting program is going well. My strength is going up nicely, and it is nice pushing heavier weights for lower repetitions again. I really pushed on Saturday, knowing I had Sunday and Monday as rest days. Doing that resulted in more DOMS than I have had in a…

Something to consider is that if you over eat on the weekends, you can pretty quickly undo the deficit you ate from Monday to Friday.

I don't know if there is a way. People, myself included until recently, predominantly seem to think everything is fine and just want a pill or something similar to fix the health issues. Maybe I am too pessimistic, but it isn't like the dangers have not been made public for decades. It seems no matter what, people either…

Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling. I didn't have freezing issues, but doing that fixed the issues I did have.

My personal experience is once I started actually cooking real food, I found my appetite regulated somewhat better. I did that just counting calories for two months before going Keto, and I lost weight at the same rate I did when I switched to Keto. The problem was that my blood work continued to get worse while eating at…

I said I eat Ketovore. I didn't say everyone should. I said they should avoid most processed food and start cooking meals from whole ingredients. Don't put words into my mouth.

Governed? Frankly, it is not in the interest of big business to have people control their eating. The "foods" they develop are designed to be hyper-palatable and usually lack much in terms of nutrition. Now, as obesity becomes a huge problem and cost, what is the solution proposed? Not eating whole home cooked foods, but a…

Putting on fat because of not eating enough is a myth which keeps surviving for some unknown reason. Yes, eating too little is not good for you, and it will have negative effects. Losing weight is about having a moderate calorie deficit over time that forces your body to use the energy it stored as fat.

I am glad that works for you. It likely will work for others, but for myself, protein and fat fill me up and keep me full respectively. Fiber, which I used to focus on eating a lot of, really didn't help me personally. It did give me a lot of gas though.

I am cheap, and frankly, I work in a setting where I have just been waiting for my new work clothing to arrive from this years ordering. It just did, so I have new work clothing. I also have some other stuff from the thrift store now (picked up this week), so when I need to look good, I can. As for mucking around at home,…

This was a good week except for last night. For some reason I had a stomach that would not be satisfied, so I ate more than I would like. I did stay Keto, so that is a win, but the calories were really high by the end of the day. I guess the other positive is I am still feeling full this morning still even after a really…

That stinks. I hope you can find out how to get this under control.

I am still wearing mine and I am almost 90 pounds down in a year. I have started to get rid of some of them just this past week, and started to get some clothing from thrift stores as I still have some weight to lose.

You are welcome. I have been doing the whole weight loss thing for a long time. Keto has actually worked for me far better than any approach I have taken before this. I found things slowed down a lot in terms of weight loss when I got within about that range of the top end of normal by BMI. At the same time, while my…

The other counfounding issue is how much you have to lose. I lost very quickly at first when I was extremely obese. Now, for the past several months now that I am fluxuating between the bottom of overweight and the top area of proper weight, the loss is slow, but progressing. I will have weeks with no loss, then will have…

The issue is that weight loss is a horrible short term measure of progress. I say that because a whole bunch of things can keep weight stable or increase it even while fat is being burned off. In Keto, water retention is not as common, but it can happen due to various factors. Then there is the speed food goes through your…

True. They will bend over backwards for Vegans, but Keto is almost always responded to as if it is unsustainable and unhealthy. Neither are true to any greater degree than changing one's diet and losing weight is difficult for everyone.

The app doesn't include you planned exercise calories in its calorie goal calculations. That means exercise will make your deficit larger than planned. If you are morbidly obese, that likely won't make a huge difference, but if you are not, then it can result in too aggressive a calorie deficit with its negative effects.…

Two things. First, the nutritional information here is designed about the nutritional information on US packaging. To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't include salt, it includes sodium. Second, if you have issues that require reducing salt, it is likely because you have issues with sodium, so reducing just salt will not…

Welcome. I am also from Ontario Canada.

Great job! Keep going. You can do this.

When you started on MyfitnessPal it would have asked you things like your sex, age, height, weight, activity level, and the amount you want to lose in a week. That you have given you a calorie goal, which I assume you have. At this point, just worry about calories. Get in that goal every day, and assuming your logging is…

Some wins this week. This morning's weigh-in put me at the lowest weight I have been in my adult life at 172.4 pounds. I successfully did a more than 24-hour fast this week (about 40 hours). Finally, a big one for me, I decided that I am tired of having clothing that is all huge on me. I hit the thrift store and got a…

Frankly, my experience is that after getting through the first two weeks of only 20 carbs a day and basically avoiding sweet things including fruit, my cravings for sweet disappeared. Making sure you are getting lots of protein and fat helps a lot. The protein fills you up, and the fat keeps you full. The problem most…

A pound of lean ground beef formed into a patty cooked the air fryer with 3 eggs usually fried and some bacon. BTW, I eat OMAD, so I am speaking of breakfast and the meal I break my fast with.

This week went well. I decided to try a chiropractor for my back issues. It seems to be helping, although most of the help is from the exercises he has me doing, but when he manipulates my back, it does loosen up what is tight.
